The first episode aired in April 2005 and examined "The Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame Steve Bartman for the Cubs' 2003 playoff collapse". Bartman was excoriated by Cubs fans as the reason for the Cubs' 8th inning collapse against the Florida Marlins in the sixth game of the 2003 National League Championship Series. He unwittingly became the focus of the derision of long-suffering Cubs fans and the butt of many jokes.
