Canadian sitcom 'Corner Gas' makes a reappearance on Sitcom Showdown, with Steve nominating Telescope Trouble for the hall of fame.

The maligned Red Dwarf episode 'Krytie TV' is nominated by Jeffers to the hall of fame. Will this era of the Dwarf pass muster with Steve? It's lite on the sci-fi and heavy on the lowbrow laughs, which angers Red Dwarf fans but is right up Jeffers' alley (ooer-!).

Episode 9 continues what seems to be a Ben Elton run, when Steve chooses an episode of the Young Ones to go into the hall of fame.  The series 2 opener 'Bambi' gets the treatment, where Neil, Vyv, Rik and Mike go to University Challenge.

This time, Jeffers nominates Filthy Rich and Catflap for the hall of fame and awaits Steve's verdict. Will this 30-year-old show from Ben Elton's peak writing days (with a full-powered Rik Mayall, Ade Edmonson and Nigel Planer) make the cut? It had better do, or else!

In Sitcom Showdown's 6th episode, Jeffers nominates a sterling series two highlight from Ben Elton's police comedy Thin Blue Line.

Steve selects an episode of The Office (US) from season 2, to see how the Dunder Mifflin staff handle another visit to 'The Dundies'. Will it receive its own award-winning slot in the Sitcom Showdown hall of fame?

In ep 4 of Sitcom Showdown, an excited Jeffers gets Steve to watch the Married With Children classic 'The Gas Station Show'. Al Bundy and the family leave the house for a day of fun but don't get far in the Dodge. Will the self-induced suffering of Al be hilarious enough to make it into the SS Hall of Fame?

'Corner Gas' is selected by Steve, repping the podcast's first Canadian sitcom. Will Jeffers enjoy the antics of the folks from Dog River? He might when he finds out how Hank, Wanda, Lacey and the gang deal with Brent Butt's supposed poverty, and a whole lotta Amethyst.
