Episode #42: Cybill - “Regarding Henry”
Original Release Date: March 8, 2016

Cybill Shepherd bounced back onto the television landscape in 1995 with her CBS sitcom, Cybill; which followed the lives of struggling actress Cybill Sheridan and her rich, martini-swilling best friend, Maryann Thorp. Together, they navigated the streets of Hollywood looking for their next big break.

In this episode of A Very Special Podcast, Patrick and Kat watch the season four premier entitled, “Regarding Henry.” This is the one where Cybill has recurring sex dreams of Maryann’s fiancé and reverts to seeing a past life regression therapist to determine if her lust for her BFFs boyfriend-thing are connected to another life.

Plus, the sisterhood of Deedee and Michelle Pfieffer, weird dreams about Tiffani Amber-Thiessen, and Christine Baranski’s fashion choices in Cybill are very Riddler-esque from Batman: The Animated Series.

Episode #37: The O.C. - “The Best Chrismukkah Ever”
Original Release Date: December 23, 2015

Seth Cohen’s bi-religious holiday Chrismukkah comes to Orange County and things go from awful to horrendous. Nerdy Seth faces a dilemma when two foxy babes are super into him, Marissa gets drunk (again), and some crazy shit goes down involving the adult characters that revolves around a land deal. The only thing that could possibly make it worse is if a mentally ill rich kid enters stage right (it happens, i.e., Oliver)!

Plus in unrelated news, Patrick admits that he was kind of into the Paris Hilton song “Stars are Blind” at one point in time.
