Chris Dunne returns to Binge Essentials this week to discuss one of the most iconic and memorable comedies on recent American television: The Office.  Spanning nine seasons and a lovable collection of characters, The Office inspired the mockumentary and workplace comedy format for the last decade and years to come.  Would a real Michael Scott make a great boss?  Does every business need a Dwight?  Who is the Scranton Strangler?  We couldn't wait to sink our teeth into this.  That's what she said.

Laura returns to join David and Romeo to discuss Gilmore Girls!  One of Laura's (and Romeo's) all-time favorite shows, Gilmore Girls garnered quite the cult following during their seven season run and four episode miniseries revival.  Now almost five years removed from the miniseries and no rumblings of a return, now is as good a time as ever to reflect on the citizens of Stars Hollow.  Who's Rory's best boyfriend?  Did we love the revival?  How many quotes can Laura and Romeo fit into this episode?  Join us at Luke's for a cup of coffee.  We have a long discussion ahead and we don't want you to miss out.
