Spies. Exploding grandmas. Bruce Campbell. It all adds up to an extremely vanilla product in the form of USA Network's Burn Notice. Are Characters Welcome on this pod? Listen and find out.

Episode 8: Superstore - Pilot/All Sales Final by As You Know

PULL THE TRIGGER on this episode to learn all about the most Bush-era show ever, 24. The show with the most right wing ideology that commie Matt has watched like four times for some reason. If you don't like it then SHUT UP.

Our first foray into teen dramas brings us to Peak CW series Gossip Girl. If you are a messy bitch who lives for drama (we all are) then this is the episode for you.

Our first look at the many offerings of the Showtime network brings us to David Duchovny-led dramedy Californication, by far the shittiest show we've watched so far. But if you live for boobs it's got your number.

It's anime time on As You Know, and the ultra-successful Sailor Moon has us split evenly between adoring (Ian/Stephen) and befuddled (Travis/Matt). But we may have a new theme song now.

After Alan Ball's acclaimed Six Feet Under got middling reactions from us, we dive into his more commercially successful follow up, True Blood. Do the boys have good times in Bon Temps? The answer is a resounding no. But we do get vampires vs. Yakuza.

For our second episode we dive into one of HBO's first prestige series, Six Feet Under, most famous for its final montage of death. Is the funerary family drama a great work that pushed television into a new age, or a maudlin, poorly aged relic of a bygone era? Or somewhere in between?

Welcome to As You Know, the podcast for discussing series premieres and series finales and caring about the rest of the show later. We begin with a serious long-runner with a rabid fanbase: Supernatural, which spanned 15 seasons but doesn't appear to have changed all that much, despite featuring a pre-Friday Night Lights Adrienne Palicki and a post-Justified Jim Beaver. Ceiling demons, juggalo vampires and more abound.
