  • Summary

  • Twenty-six years ago, a charming sitcom about surfing teens caught the nation’s eyes, and hearts, by surprise. By the time its fifth season aired, it was universally considered the worst TV show of all time. That show is ‘Danvers’ Beach.’ Join veteran actor Carl Heck as he takes a deep dive into what exactly went wrong, told first-hand by the cast and crew behind this network catastrophe. If you’ve ever wondered how much drama, awkward crime, and haphazard nudity it takes to kill a beloved TV show - you’ve come to the right podcast. This is An Oral History of Danvers’ Beach.

    A Hamster House production.
