This week, Darwin and Cat rewind to the golden age of sitcoms — when television stopped being fluff and started reflecting real life. From the groundbreaking independence of The Mary Tyler Moore Show to the quiet, adult wit of The Bob Newhart Show, and the junkyard brilliance of Sanford and Son (including Cat’s deeply confusing childhood identity crisis involving Redd Foxx), the duo unpacks the characters who raised us, made us laugh, and shaped who we are.

Plus, Darwin and Cat debut their own sitcom theme… and yes, it tells the entire story in two gloriously dramatic verses. Cue the laugh track and welcome aboard the Garbage Barge.
