S1E1: The George Carlin Show


Listen Later

"The George Carlin Show" is a sitcom that aired on Fox from 1994-1995.  The show centers around George O'Grady, a curmudgeonly New York City cab driver in his 50s who hangs out at a neighborhood bar. While it follows a traditional sitcom format with a laugh track and episodic structure, Carlin's involvement ensured that the writing frequently touched on anti-establishment themes, and generational conflicts.

In later interviews, George Carlin expressed disappointment with the creative process behind the show, feeling that network interference diluted his vision and that the show lacked the creative freedom he needed to thrive. The show gave viewers a rare look at Carlin attempting to live within the bounds of a formula he often mocked. Will the S1E1 boys enjoy this or would they rather watch Carlin's classic Stand-Up instead? Listen as they deep dive the show's first episode, "When Unexpected Things Happen to George".

Starring: George Carlin, Alex Rocco, Paige French, Anthony Starke, Christopher Rich, Susan Sullivan, & Mike Hagerty
