The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries: "The Lady on Thursday at Ten" (1978)

This episode will leave your sanity on the ropes! "The Lady on Thursday at Ten" aired on January 1, 1978. Show star Pamela Sue Martin rang in the year with her last ever appearance on The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, with John Karlen, Nicholas Hammond, Tony Burton, and Simon Oakland also featuring in the show. Nancy Drew's efforts to escape from New York take a tragic turn when she seemingly runs over a man in one of Manhattan's dark alleyways. Police officers at the scene assure her that the fellow was a nasty piece of work who'd escaped the Tombs. But the next day, the sleuth finds the authorities skeptical of her story. After all, no one has escaped from the Tombs in years! As she attempts to unravel the mystery, Nancy encounters crooked cops, fiendish nursing home aides,  a character not-at-all inspired by the classic sports drama film Rocky, and a band of ethnically-stereotyped, singing boxers. Trust us, it's even nuttier than it sounds. Listen to Áine and Kevin trade jabs on hat-throwing hijinks,  New York City subway posters, and one host's sick brand of interrogation tactics.  Nota bene: We recorded this episode a few months ago when we were still in Brooklyn, and still figuring out podcasts. The show sort of broke us, the recording took place at around 2 a.m., and we then forgot about the whole thing until a few days ago! So please forgive that, the references to us living in Brooklyn, and the general ineptitude you've come to expect from us!  If you're not done with us forever after this one, please follow us on the usual social media suspects:FacebookTwitterInstagramAnd send us mysterious and intriguing missives at [email protected].
