The Televerse

December is underway—baby step to 2021!—and that means the holiday content is flowing free and fast. We kick off the podcast as usual with Our Week in TV, including HBO Max's Thanksgiving drop of the first three episodes of The Flight Attendant, the finale of The Great British Bake Off, the second season of Sugar Rush Christmas, the antepenultimate The Amazing Race, a Santa-fied DuckTales, and the anticipated live action debut of Ahsoka Tano on The Mandalorian. Then we head over to the spotlight section to catch up with the second season of Netflix's Great Pretender. Tune in for our thoughts, then reach out with your takes on the week's TV and your preferred seasonal viewing.

Happy belated (American) Thanksgiving, and happy Black Friday (please stay home this year!). The holidays are officially underway, so Noel and Kate decided to look back on one of the shows Noel has been most thankful for over the past few years, We Bare Bears. Before we dive in for the DVD Shelf, though, we have plenty to discuss in Our Week in TV, starting with the latest Adventure Time: Distant Lands, the final arc of Great Pretender, returning favorites on The Mandalorian, another fun Superstore, the first ever mega-leg of The Amazing Race, and of course, The Great British Bake Off. Tune in for our thoughts, then reach out with your take on the week's TV and We Bare Bears.

Things seem like they're starting to normalize, at least temporarily, leaving a little more brain space for TV this week. Noel and Kate kick things off with Our Week in TV, starting with the finale of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, the premiere of The Unicorn, Superstore, The Mandalorian, The Great British Bake Off, and a double helping of The Amazing Race.
