Boob Tube!

Well, this episode was a long time coming thanks to a certain Boob Tuber's uploading failure (Amanda, we're talking about Amanda). But the good news — and let's be honest, we could all really use some good news — is that there might be another episode coming sooner than usual, thanks to the enormous amount of staying-inside-and-watching-telly we're both doing.

We hope everyone is staying safe and spending almost as much time on calls with friends and family as they are watching TV. And since our business just so happens to be being on a call and discussing TV, we're here to talk about what we're planning to watch while we physically distance and self-isolate, from old favorites to new shows to old ones we never watched. Plus, we have some catching up to do!

Shows discussed: The Outsider, High Fidelity, High Maintenance, Love Is Blind and so, so, so many more.

A sad week, in Boob Tube-verse (yes, all the weeks are sad ones these days, yes we....get a little distracted by the state of the world): the end of Bojack Horseman. We spend a good chunk of this week discussing the highs and lows - nearly all highs, which are actually lows - but also make time for the mostly-entertaining true fraud doc McMillion$ and Netflix's terribly-titled Bonfire of Destiny.

Shows Discussed: Bojack Horseman, Bonfire of Destiny, McMillion$, Last Week Tonight

At least, so far it looks like it's an evil, murderous doppelgänger in HBO's new series 'The Outsider.' What we are sure about is that we are NOT OK after the series finale of 'The Good Place.' We know you cried, too.

But when we weren't creeping ourselves out or contemplating existential questions, we also checked out the new show 'Avenue 5' and the second season of 'Shrill.' Plus, we have a new addition to Amanda's trash corner!

Shows discussed: The Good Place, The Outsider, Avenue 5, Shrill, Hart of Dixie, Flirty Dancing

Ms Wides discusses why you should watch 'Work in Progress,' and we all wonder about one of the great mysteries of our time — why Amanda watched all of 'The Witcher,' a show that 100 percent was not made for her. But don't worry; we're moving on from our labored emphasis of the letter W to also talk about 'The L Word' and the fictional, magical, beautiful world it inhabits.

Plus, we put in a plug for a new docu-series about cheerleading, and finally talk about a little-known and under-hyped show called 'Succession.' (Yes, Amanda finally watched.)

Shows discussed: The Watchmen, The Witcher, Work in Progress, The L Word, Succession, Cheer, [Zoe's Extraordinary Playlist]

Audio issues, rampant illness, malfunctioning software, it's the end of the year as we know it and we feel fine. That's right folks, a whole 2019's worth of television, and what the hell did we watch again? Amanda and Sarah will struggle to remember while they dish out awards for Best New Show, Best Outfit, Best Show We Watched That We Said We Wouldn't Watch, and also determine that "comedy" and "drama" are really just nonsense words that don't mean anything anyway.

Shows Discussed: Too many to list

Sarah goes deep into the Bon Appétit Cinematic Universe (tm) and is, by the way, still riding a high from Chris Morocco liking her BA sausage and corn nut stuffing on Instagram. She continues the food theme by discussing Japanese anthology series Midnight Diner, and stays in Tokyo with the at-times sweet but probably problematic Queer Eye: We’re In Japan! Amanda shares her hunger for the Great British Baking Show: Holidays edition, and is keeping an eye on the Watchmen, a compelling show that is definitely not about X-Men, so maybe Sarah will give it a shot too.

Shows Discussed: Bon Appétit...programming, Great British Baking Show: Holidays, Watchmen, Midnight Diner, Queer Eye: We're in Japan!

We have to get a few things out of the way before we talk about the promising first half to Bojack Horseman's final season. We watched a few episodes each of Living With Yourself, The Hook-up Plan, and Castle Rock, and they're ... fine, but we haven't gotten much further than that ("meh" things come in threes). But we have good things to say about Bojack, the final episode of the latest GBBO season, and polite murders in turn-of-the-century Toronto. Plus, tune in for some "breaking" TV news, and find out which streaming service we will NOT be getting.

Shows discussed: The World Series, The Great British Baking Show, Castle Rock, The Hook-up Plan, Murdoch Mysteries, Living With Myself, Bojack Horseman

After Sarah takes a brief dive into the utterly bizarre Transparent Musical Finale, Sarah and Amanda discuss a number of women-fronted crime shows, including the UK's Scott & Bailey and Netflix's Unbelievable. A story about the investigation of a serial rapist told through a distinctly feminist lens, Unbelievable isn't without its flaws, but nearly everything about it feels revolutionary.

Shows discussed: Unbelievable, Transparent, Detective Anna, Scott & Bailey

Check, check, 1, 2, 3 — Yep, Amanda's mic sounds way better this episode. Maybe that's why we went a little long — or maybe it's because the Emmys were this week and we have our usual measured takes. Sarah watched half of it, and Amanda watched none, but that won't stop of from being excited for PWB!

We also talk about Undone, the new Amazon show using rotoscope animation. It's beautiful, funny, and hard to explain, so just trust us that you need to watch it, OK?

Shows discussed: The 71st Primetime Emmys, Undone, Couples Therapy, Bluff City Law, The Connors

Our bullshit, of course, being Australian mysteries and wry but warm British comedies. The Great British Bake-Off is back in session, complete with awkward innuendo and a contestant who somehow popped out of a Pacific Sunwear catalogue circa 1998! Our hosts revel in the absolute delight that is the UK's This Way Up (a big bonus: Amanda shares her Irish accent), but if you get homesick, Sarah heartily recommends On Becoming a God in Central Florida - a bitter but funny show about one of the most prolific American scams.

Shows Discussed: The Great British Bake-Off, Ms. Fisher's Modern Mysteries, This Way Up, On Becoming a God in Central Florida
