This week Val and Rachel and Special Guest Bennett Madison discuss Picket Fences, which is available on Amazon Prime. Picket Fences is an American family drama television series about the residents of the town of Rome, Wisconsin, created and produced by David E. Kelley. The show ran from 1992 to 1996 on CBS. It sometimes struggled to maintain a stable primetime audience and had fluctuating ratings, due in part to its Friday night death slot.

 

Hot topics include: 1.) Bennett reminisces about listening to Tiffany in high school 2.) Friday Night Death Slot can't hold the most teen-titillating crime-medical-legal-family drama of the 90s back! 3.) Recurring segments Accent Corner, What Ya Watching?, and The Most 90s Thing. 4.) The related movies Kindergarten Cop and Poison Ivy 5.) Val finds YET ANOTHER reason to shill for ER 6.) We invent the 90s Diet Binge Watch in real time: Hot tips for how to skip the binging and be more selective about which episodes to watch.
