One of the new offerings that stands out from the pack
fueled partly by nostalgia,
partly by the great Jeff Garlin’s constant yelling and partly by some outstanding writing.

The series is narrated by Patton Oswalt (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.).

Fans can also enjoy a rare glimpse into Patton Oswalts process as narrator in Patton Oswalt: Adam Grows Up. Lastly, Costumes of the ’80s: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly takes fans on a tour of the wardrobe department where costume designer Keri Smith reveals details on dressing a show set in the 80s.

Goldberg Productions and Exhibit A Productions in conjunction with Sony Pictures Television. It was created by Adam F. Goldberg (Fanboys) and executive produced by Adam F.
