The ax falls often on great TV Shows. Sometimes for poor ratings, or budgetary reasons or even conflicts in production. This week we reflect on some fallen favorite who we feel were gone before their time.

We are back from our early summer break. We have some family gathering business to discuss with the best things and some of the worst things about family gatherings. Everyone has experienced the fun and sometimes the dread of a family gathering. Who are we going to see? Who's not coming this year? What's Aunt Patty making this year? Why does Cousin Greg has a mohawk? All the excitement of reliving your best moments. So make that playlist that inevitable will be skipped and relax for our opinions on the family fun day.

Special episode of the show today as we turn it over to you, the listeners and answers questions from the audience. We got some good feedback and some critical analysis so let's take a journey behind the scenes and find out what makes this podcast happen.

We close out our series of Unpopular Opinions by diving into Television this week. Most TV is easy to watch and fun but what we find fun and easy to watch might just not be your cup of tea. Let's see what we can disagree on in the topic of TV through the years.
