Crossing the Streams Is Here For You (Bonus Ep7) Jan 13, 2022

Show notes

Need TV binge suggestions? You've come to the right place. We've got you covered.

Crossing the Streams originated on this podcast in episodes 8 and 15. My idea was to record friends freely discussing TV shows (and movies) they binge on one of the many, many streaming services we all subscribe to.

Jeff Dwoskin, Howard Rosner, Ron Lippitt, Bob Philips, and Sal Demilio are your co-hosts and we're joined weekly by special guests. The assignment? We each come to the show with a TV binge suggestion. It might be a series, movie, or documentary but we'll give you the scoop so you can decide for yourself whether or not to dive in.

In this bonus episode we discuss a few great binge suggestions:

Mortal Kombat (from live ep 21)
Only Murders In The Building (from live ep 40)
In treatment (from live ep 31)

Each segment is pulled from a show and shared as is in all its LIVE goodness.

Richard Karn shares stories from his career and the series of events that landed him the role of Al Borland opposite Time Allen on the hit sitcom, Home Improvement.

Join Richard Karn as he shares some great Home Improvement stories including the story of how he landed the role, how his catchphrase and salute came to be, and working with Pamela Anderson.

Richard Karn shares a ton of stories not only from Home Improvement but also from his time hosting Family Feud and his guest role on Last Man Standing which reunited him with Tim Allen. Richard has been the target of a death hoax and we discuss what that was like as well as hosting Bingo America, playing himself on Detroiters, staring in the Air Bud movies, and his many Christmas movie roles for Hallmark.
