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

<p>This episode will leave your sanity on the ropes!<br/><br/>&quot;The Lady on Thursday at Ten&quot; 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.<br/><br/>Nancy Drew&apos;s efforts to escape from New York take a tragic turn when she seemingly runs over a man in one of Manhattan&apos;s dark alleyways. Police officers at the scene assure her that the fellow was a nasty piece of work who&apos;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!<br/><br/>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 <em>Rocky</em>, and a band of ethnically-stereotyped, singing boxers.<br/><br/>Trust us, it&apos;s even nuttier than it sounds.<br/><br/>Listen to Áine and Kevin trade jabs on hat-throwing hijinks,  New York City subway posters, and one host&apos;s sick brand of interrogation tactics. <br/><br/>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&apos;ve come to expect from us! <br/><br/>If you&apos;re not done with us forever after this one, please follow us on the usual social media suspects:</p><ul><li><a href='https://www.facebook.com/Mystery-to-Me-Podcast-105987494771196'>Facebook</a></li><li><a href='https://twitter.com/mystery_to_me_'>Twitter</a></li><li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/mysterytomepodcast/'>Instagram</a></li></ul><p>And send us mysterious and intriguing missives at mysterytomepodcast@gmail.com.<br
