Stay ConnectedGen X, This is Why is a podcast that re-examines the sometimes bizarre and often scarring media from our shared childhood. Jennie and Amye, sisters and sometimes mortal enemies, are your hosts. Our first stop is Walnut Grove as we take a fresh look at our favorite frontier family (as if we can name another), the Ingalls. There is some seriously weird sh*t in this show that answers a lot of questions…

In Season 8, episode 8: Chicago, Charles heads to The Windy City to console a grieving Edwards whose son, John Jr, was mowed down by a drunk horse in an alley. In the worst episode of Law & Order, we meet some stereotypical Chicago gangsters who help Edwards and Charles solve this mystery. One of our main characters dies, yet Charles is still the star of the show, and we are robbed of seeing Carl’s Jr.

The Legend of Black Jake
Join Jennie and Amye, sisters and sometimes mortal foes, as they dissect one of the most impactful shows from our shared, Gen X childhood: Little House on the Prairie.
In Season 8, episode 7: The Legend of Black Jake, two not-so-bright criminals come to town and kidnap Nels Oleson. In this retelling of an old Bonanza script, Harriet refuses to pay the ransom and half the town ends up getting kidnapped. There is a bright spot, however, when Charles beats the absolute crap out of Rev Alden in a case of mistaken identity.

In Season 8, episode 6: The Great Gambini, an aging daredevil, Rudolpho Gambini, comes to Walnut Grove with his reluctant family to revive his career after almost dying in a dangerous coffin trick. The entire town, especially Albert, catches daredevil fever and attempts dangerous tricks themselves. Pa, Nels, Doc, and Rev do not approve. There’s a super dramatic bedside shunning, an offensive Italian accent, and some interesting facts come to light about Albert’s background.

Happy Summer! It's a Patreon episode for all!
In honor of summer, enjoy this episode originally recorded for Patreon in Jan 2021.
Enjoy our coverage of the HBO MAX documentary Class Action Park
Join us as we remember the 80’s, a time of unregulated anarchy, at least for a bunch of teenagers in New Jersey. Action Park’s lawlessness became legend, and after watching this HBO MAX documentary, it’s obvious as to why. We are stunned by Uncle Gene, a mythical figure to the employees of the park who pretty much laid down their lives for him-and for a 100$ bill, and an irresponsible monster to others, mostly parents of those teenagers. We reflect on the Gen X pastime of trying to die for fun, agree that NJ isn’t sending us their best (sorry, NJ), and we realize Action Park could only be possible in the 80’s.

In Season 8, episode 5: A Wiser Heart, Eliza Jane and Laura travel to Arizona for some continuing education credits. We meet a very handsome, but slimy professor who macs on Laura and doesn’t seem to care that Eliza Jane has an awkward 8th grade crush on him. The trip turns into a nightmare for Laura as she is forced to wash dishes for Sally Spectra and share a small bed with Eliza Jane. Eliza Jane, meanwhile, is all into the pompous professor while the sweet and super smart Mortimer Carstairs pines for her from a distance. Laura seems to forget she’s pregnant, Manly is suddenly super liberal, and we have an academic off between two bloated egos.

In season 8, episode 4, Doc Baker is overwhelmed with patients- both human and horse- and must hire an associate. Caleb LeDoux and his wife, Mattie, show up to relieve Doc, which should solve everything except…they’re Black. Harriet is her awful self, Nels has zero power, and Charles has to punch another townsperson out in order to save a baby. In the end, the fine people of Walnut Grove almost run off this super qualified doctor and his wife, until Rev saves the day. Despite the LeDouxs committing to staying in WG forever, we never see them again.
In other news, we address the current state of the country after some SCOTUS rulings, Amye hands out some medical advice, and Jennie has gotten her hands on some German graph paper.

In Season 8, Episode 2, The Reincarnation of Nellie Part Two, Nancy continues to terrorize the town and has her sights set on Albert’s newest crush, Jan from the Office. Jan nearly dies after Nancy locks her in the ice house, then nearly dies again as Doc Baker experiments on her. Nancy concocts a traumatic backstory to win the town’s empathy, only Charles discovers the truth and narcs her out. In the end, even though she really did have some childhood trauma, the entire town bands together to humiliate her publicly.
Amye has taken over production duties and everything has been thrown into chaos, Jennie’s favorite Disney hero is Ursula, and we give a brief preview of what’s coming up in season eight!

In season 8, episode 1, Nellie and Percival peace out and move to NYC, leaving Harriet in a serious slipper-tub depression. To perk her up and solve her situational depression, Baker suggests adopting a ten year old. Harriet and Nels go kid shopping and bring home a much worse version of Nellie. Meanwhile, Mary and her new hair announce they are leaving for New York as well, as Adam has failed at being WG’s only lawyer. We debate who Caroline likes best, Jennie defends her stance on Guy Fieri, and Amye learns not everyone is pleased with her Manly impression.

Join Jennie and Amye, sisters and sometimes mortal foes, as they recap Little House on the Prairie S7 EP22: The Lost Ones Part 2
In the conclusion of the season seven finale, Charles belabors the point of who should adopt the Cooper kids when all along we knew the answer-cram them all into the little house while Manly and Laura spread out in their 8-bedroom victorian. Amye gets real hung up on how to slip money into a pocket, and Jennie is cranky. Per usual.
