I may or may not have some trouble with rule number 3 this time around.

Welcome to episode 9 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose—the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! Forget fantasy football—join us for fantasy TV.

This week, we’re back to focusing on a single show, and this time around, it’s Friends, everyone’s favorite ’90s sitcom (Sorry, Seinfeld.)

Friends ran for 10 seasons—a rare critical and ratings darling (even rarer for NBC)—ending up at 236 episodes. The show was known for many things, including the classic pickup line “How you doing?”, the obsessive following of Jennifer Aniston’s haircuts, and its many guest stars who would go on to much bigger careers.

In this episode, Brooke, Joey, and I are joined by special guest Sundi Rose-Holt, another Community Contributor. We break down our top five episodes, guest stars, and of course, the relationships.

So relax in your recliner (or your box, if it’s Thanksgiving and you’ve stolen your best friend’s girlfriend) and remember your favorite Friends moments. Take a listen, then let us know what your own top-five list would be in the comments below!

Welcome to episode 7 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose—the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! Forget fantasy football—join us for fantasy TV.

Due to some behind-the-scenes technical difficulties, we’ve had to switch up our rotation. Instead of a draft this week, we’ve got another top-10 list coming your way. We’ve already talked about our top 10 shows and top 10 seasons, so now we break it down one step further than that to talk about our top 10 pilots.

I’m joined by Brooke and Joey to discuss what it is that makes an exemplary pilot. Is the tone clear? Do we know these characters yet? Is the pilot a good representation of a typical (and excellent) episode of the show? Here, we get to talk about the best introductions to a new TV world—even some that eventually (or quickly) fell flat on their faces.

Listen as we list our favorite pilots. What, to you, makes a good pilot? What’s your favorite pilot of all time? Join the conversation in the comments below.

Welcome to episode 6 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose—the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! Forget fantasy football—join us for fantasy TV.

This week, we have another show-centric episode, this time focused on everyone’s favorite high school sports drama (which happens to be where our podcast name came from): Friday Night Lights.

Friday Night Lights ran for four beautiful seasons (and the second season also existed), coming back from the verge of cancellation after every one. The show gave us Matt Saracen, Tim Riggins, and, of course, the most realistic and loving marriage on television—in Coach and Mrs. Coach.

In this episode, Brooke, Joey, and I are joined by special guest Tamar Barbash, another Community contributor, who recaps old Friday Night Lights episodes each week here at the site. We run through our top five Coach and Tami moments, our top five episodes, and our top five inspirational Coach speeches.

So get settled in and remember your favorite FNL moments. Take a listen, then let us know what your top-five lists would be in the comments! Clear eyes, full hearts …

Welcome to episode 5 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose—the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! Forget fantasy football—join us for fantasy TV.

We’ve already talked about our favorite shows of all time, so now we break it down further. This week, Brooke, Joey, and I analyze our top 10 favorite TV seasons. You’ll see some common threads between this list and our top 10 shows of all time, but this is really a different animal. Here, we get to recognize those shows that didn’t necessarily have a perfect run, but managed to achieve one truly great season (Dexter, anyone?).

Listen below as we list our seasons, and as always, Joey gets berated for his silly choices. What are your top 10 TV seasons of all time? Let us know in the comments below!

We are back to drafting our dream teams of TV characters this week! Brooke, Joey, and I will choose our favorite female characters in TV dramas. We want to cast a wide net to cover all of our bases, so we will pick one character who portrays each of the following ten character traits best: funny, smart, lovable, badass, beautiful, fun, matriarchal, wild card, talented, and villainous.

Welcome to episode 3 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose-the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! We like to mix it up at the podcast, so this week we’ll be making several short lists about one particular show. I’m joined by Brooke and Joey to discuss our favorite things about The Office. 

The Office ran for nine seasons, and though many agree the quality diminished in its later years, it doesn’t take away from the brilliant moments that came before. In this episode, we will rank our top 5 episodes, our top 5 “office functions” (hello, party planning committee), and our top 5 Jim and Dwight pranks.

So, get settled in and remember your favorite Office moments. Forget fantasy football. Join us in fantasy TV. Take a listen and let us know what your top 5’s would be in the comments.

This week, Brooke, Joey, and I get into our top 10 favorite TV shows of all time. We’ll be revisiting these lists every time we rank our top 10 shows in a given year to see if any current shows might have worked their way in. I’m looking at you, Broad City.

Listen to our lists below and let us know what you think. What shows would make your top 10?

Welcome to the first episode of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose—the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! In this first episode, I am joined by Brooke and Joey to draft our ideal television families. We’ll be drafting a mom, dad, three kids, an aunt/uncle, agrandma/grandpa, and a family friend.

The rules are:
