As You Know

How to talk about a show that's so ingrained in American culture that we feel like we already know everything is about it? Find out as we dive into the shockingly short lived original Scooby series.

Matt's such an asshole for this.

Remember when one of today's most outrageous right wing cranks had enough clout to get his primary work made into a TV series? And also tried to sell health burritos? No? Well, now you do.

One last nice time before we go into the toilet for a couple of weeks. It's Justified, the show that perfectly threads the needle between dumb entertainment and prestige. We dive into some of the coolest dialogue in TV history and the weird alternative pathways that Timothy Olyphant's career could have taken instead.

We had a delightful time with the original TV adaptation of Sabrina, which somehow worked as a family sitcom with some deeply frightening implications, an all-time favorite puppet, and the return of Penn and Teller to our program.

We finally get to cover a Starz original and a Bryan Fuller show in the same episode! It's the ambitious, semi-acclaimed, complete commercial failure that is the television adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, which somehow ended in the year 2021.

Early Edition + questionable American Christianity + boomers' understanding of Facebook = surprisingly tolerable if bizarre CBS show. Please don't make us listen to any more Rag'n'Bone Man though.

It's time to discuss a sitcom that boldly asks new questions: How are men and women different? Do teens listen to their parents? Are hackneyed columnists worth taking creative inspiration from? What do you do if the star of your show dies after the first season?

A new contender for worst reality show we've covered emerges. It's time to remember one of the ultimate 2000s reality programs, in which Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie learn to live in rural America. Somehow this leads to blackface.

Masters May continues/ends with the decidedly anthology series Masters of Horror. We get two episodes by decidedly non-masterful directors rather than Carpenter, Dante, Argento, etc., but they do allow us to talk about the main horror themes of the mid-2000s: torture porn and Japanese ghosts.
