"Yacht Rock" is a couple years old, but I just found it. It's a funny mockumentary series about late-1970s hitmakers like like Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Steely Dan, Toto, etc., and their "smooth" L.A. sound.

As a music trivia geek, I like that all its stories are based on real collaborations that happened back then: McDonald and Loggins really did write those songs together, Steely Dan really did work with the Eagles, etc. Of course, the "behind the music" stories in Yacht Rock are completely fictional and silly, but they're also pretty funny. Check it out!

BTW, discovered that the latest episode of Yacht Rock (Episode 11, "Footloose") just came out last week, after a 2-year hiatus. And it features Jason Lee as Kevin Bacon.

That's seems like it would have some potential.

I'm going to have to check that out at home.
