  • NYC Prep
    Not 'Gossip Girl' here, to talk about the 2009 premiere of 'NYC Prep,' the short-lived Bravo reality TV series that still lives in our Blackberries. Tune in while co-hosts Allison and Kate cover the history of the series, why it was significant to air on TV in the late 2000s, how difficult it was to find the cast, and exactly where they are now. Plus, the 'Real Housewives Of New York' connection you didn't expect, and, of course, all about PC's wedding.

  • Charmed
    The Power of Three might set you free — but it will also set free plenty of dramah. Because, in their latest episode of TV. Watch. Repeat., Kate and Allison found that not only were behind-the-scenes tension high for nearly the entire run of the WB's 'Charmed,' but those tensions still exist to this day. But how did Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, and Alyssa Milano go from good friends living a semi-charmed life, to needing to be forcibly removed from one another in order to continue production? We'll fill in the gaps. In the new episode, we chat about everything 'Charmed,' from the real-life people who inspired each of the three sisters, to the originally cast Phoebe you didn't see, to a final season so reduced in budget, they had to slap poor Leo in ice for several episodes to save cash. Orb your way to that play button!

  • Early Edition
    Enjoy our latest episode, a bit of a pet project for co-hosts Allison and Kate. Not just because there's a literal pet involved — the newspaper-delivering cat — but also because it was the series that allowed Kyle Chandler to truly break out in the industry, leading to roles on 'Grey's Anatomy' and, of course, 'Friday Night Lights.' While 'Early Edition' might have paved the way for Chandler, it remains a beloved favorite for fans, making a lasting impression despite only lasting three seasons. Listen as we unpack the pilot episode and explore the history of what made 'Early Edition' possible. (Hint: We have O.J. Simpson to thank for the series.) Also: Is Kyle Chandler a Kyle? We discuss.

  • Rock Of Love
    In 2007, Vh1 promised us nothin' but a good time when they premiered their latest Celeb-reality series, 'Rock of Love,' chronicling Poison's Bret Michael's search for love. And that's precisely what we got: alcohol-fueled ridiculousness, wrapped up with a chunky belt. In our latest episode, Allison and Kate chronicle the history of 'Rock Of Love,' how real it actually was, and... the highlights. Oh god, the highlights. Plus, the murder that ended Vh1's Celeb-reality streak, and more about the network's golden era of reality TV.

  • Happy Endings
    It's almost too on-the-nose that 'Happy Endings' did not, in fact, have a happy ending, getting canceled far too soon into its run, just three seasons in. But the comedy starring Casey Wilson, Adam Pally, Damon Wayans Jr., and more, had quite the happy beginning, with a story that involved one of the closest casts in TV history, and a confrontation with Chris Evans. (Seriously.) Learn about how 'Happy Endings' came to be, how it ended, and plenty of fun facts about the series we all didn't appreciate enough.

    It's the voice of a generation... or the voice of a generation. It's 'Girls,' Lena Dunham's tour de force that premiered in 2012 to both critical acclaim and endless controversies.

Repeat.', Kate and Allison dissect why the TV environment was ripe for a raunchy show about millennials, the one-page pitch that got Dunham the series, the nudity conversation surrounding the series, and Allison Williams' Peter Pan.
