Late Night! The Genius Bakabon

Tensai Bakabon has been off the airwaves for almost 20 years! What's a Papa to do in dire times like the late 2010s? How about break every rule in the anime books, throw in celebrity guests, and take a nonsensical peek into the little things in modern life like otome games, blind dates, and the possibility that a series from the Showa era could make it to now! Is this really how it should be?!
