Onesies

Emily and Andrew reach the end of MAXIMUM BOB, which goes back to the pilot continuity where Beau Bridges is a sexual predator. After a whole season trying to get away from it. Presumably the shows creatives wanted to make sure our intrepid hosts wouldn't be getting out of the series without some additional chatter. Tune in and hear what's coming up next season on ONESIES, too! NOT ABC THIS TIME! NO ABC!

With one episode of MAXIMUM BOB to go, Andrew accuses Emily of only selecting the show because she--like all the female characters on the show this episode attest--think it's hot when gross men wax on about taking away their rights. Sadly, Emily doesn't take the accusation seriously (and Andrew forgets to compare those characterizations to the film of Early 1940s Germany, which also had those vibes for the ladies). Instead, they talk about bad teasers, unseen teasers, sad character turns, and so much more!

Another week, another episode where Emily and Andrew determine this MAXIMUM BOB is technically the best one of the series. Even as character relationships change to fit the situation and there's a lot of "yikes," they don't hurt the dog and there's at least some positive character development for the guest stars. Join our intrepid hosts for their continued unenthuastic but technically still enthuastic discussion!

As they pass the halfway point in MAXIMUM BOB, one might think our intrepid hosts, Emily and Andrew, would be prepared for this episode. Certainly there can only be so far BOB can take it, only so many barrel bottoms for it to scrap. However, this episode (of BOB) may technically be the best yet! Tune in and hear why!

Thanks to some creative changes, Emily and Andrew get to enjoy a "better" episode of MAXIMUM BOB, with guest stars (on BOB not ONESIES) Miguel Sandoval and Lee Garlington bringing some much needed better acting to the program. But there's still lots to talk about as the show tries to retcon out the grossier elements from... two episodes (and one episode) ago. Join our intrepid hosts as they continue this trek through the depths of network dreck!

Emily and Andrew head back to Deep Water, Florida (along with some Miami interlude) for episode 2 of MAXIMUM BOB, which does indeed involve a (living) white woman trying to force a dead Black girl's ghost into her body so that actual child can lose her virginity to a gentleman of the living white woman's choosing. They don't actually have the scenes talking about it because the girl's consent is never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever considered. Barf. Also R. Lee Ermey guest stars and technically gives the best performance on the show so far. Only five more.

From the producers of WILD WILD WEST comes MAXIMUM BOB, Emily and Andrew's latest trek into ABC dreck, this time after they were bought out by the Mouse House. So the racism, sexism, and classism are all Mickey-approved. Beau (Jeff's agent didn't even respond) Bridges stars as an average Republican judge who wants to execute his way into the governor's mansion. Other people are in it, though they don't put it on their sizzle reels either. It's terrible, our hosts aren't thrilled (Andrew less so because he has to complain about Barry Sonnenfeld's hacky tv direction), but they get through it. And are terrified for what comes next.

Andrew and Emily complete the arduous task of watching THREE'S A CROWD, discovering the series's last ditch attempt at renewal--which involves giving Mary Cadorette material again (sort of)--almost makes for a tolerable sitcom. Of course, there's also some terrible material to talk about, but it's offset by the show realizing Vicki can do things! On screen even! Plus, Jessica Walter does show for the finale, which means good outfits that she better have gotten to keep.

Emily and Andrew have reached the penultimate ONESIES of the season and "Three's a Crowd" does not disappoint. Between Jack and Mr. Bradford's bonding episode and then Jack getting addicted to culinary fame, there's plenty for our hosts to discuss as Vicki (Mary Cadorette) "returns" to series promenance but only with bad material, and--of course--Jessica Walter has a fantastic wardrobe. We're almost to the finish line, folks, almost there... Join us!

Emily finally gets the Richard (LARRY) Kline guest spot she was waiting for and it's a loathsome affair. Our intrepid hosts sort their way through it all, including first getting to talk about another Jack sucking up to Mr. Bradford episode, but, hey, at least Jessica Walter shows up (to give awful advice while looking fabulous) and there are sets to talk about.
