The Pilot Episode

Some sitcoms have an unearned reputation for being trite and simplistic and going for the lowest-common-denominator when it comes to humor. Just Shoot Me is not one of those shows. To find out what that means, you'll have to listen as the crew dissects this show about fashion magazines and....well...really just fashion magazines.

Wigs! And Kicks! Action! And Deception! Is anyone REALLY who they say they are? You know I forgot where I was going with this, but the point is that we're talking about ALIAS on this latest episode! This is a show with a tremendous reputation. Does the pilot stand up to that rep? Listen and learn!

Just a heads-up about a short break we're taking to recoup! See you in September!

The message of this week's show is important to MarvinDog Media, so we wanted everyone who listens to MarvinDog Media shows to have a chance to hear it.

Diversity is not a bad thing. Period. This month, the guys talk about a small line from the mid-80s that was born out of a mother's desire to give her son toys that looked like him and his friends. It was a terrific toy line, but very short-lived. Taylor has suggested that Mattel might take a page out of this toy line for their new Masters Of The Universe Origins line, and Jeff thinks it's a good idea! Listen and and find out just how cool these figures were, and why the guys think they deserve another look

Did I do that? Got any cheese? Ok, we're done. Thankfully, Steve Urkell did not show up in the first episode of Family Matters. Is the show better for it? The crew spends some time debating that, and it ended up being a good discussion. Listen for yourself, then pity Jeff for his unpleasant associations with the show.

Hail to the Chief! Or at least to Martin Sheen! This time out, the crew dives into the world of politics with The West Wing. It's one of the most acclaimed shows of all time, so of course Jeff has never seen it. And of course Cory has seen all of it. And Regina hasn't seen it, either, but we're still not sure she was born when the show started in 1999. But the discussion is lively, so we hope you enjoy!

Did Regina love Perfect Strangers? Don't Be Ridiculous! Ok, not that we got THAT out of the way, the crew actually did enjoy this 80's sitcom with the catchphrase that wouldn't stop. How MUCH did they enjoy it? Listen and find out!

Our Joss Whedon series comes to an end (for now) with his least-heralded work: Dollhouse. Cory LOVES this show. Did Regina and Jeff share his enthusiasm, or would they prefer a mind-wipe and new personalities? Listen and find out!

This time out the crew discusses a show that might as well be called The Earth Tone Show. Seriously, there's a LOT of brown and khaki in this show. But that doesn't mean it's not great! In fact, this is one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, The Bob Newhart Show! Stick around after the show for an enlightening discussion about Bob Newhart's senior years...But make sure you aren't eating while you listen...

You can't take the sky from me....or my microphone!!! The crew gets all shiny about another Joss Whedon series, Firefly! This short-lived series is one of the most beloved creations of the early 21st century. Listen in and find out why!
