Episode 330: Good One Bad One Rings of Dragons Sep 29, 2022

Show notes

Have you heard? People love giant fantasy series! They really do. Or at least, they definitely WATCH giant fantasy series, and whether or not they love them is maybe beside the point? In any event, we're doing a free space Good One / Bad One episode to discuss both House of the Dragon and The Rings of Power, which are your two choices for overstuffed fantasy extravaganzas this fall. No one gets mad about anything.

Episode 329: Good One/Bad One Fall '22 Edition: The Pickening Sep 22, 2022

Show notes

Ah, the promise of a new TV season. Maybe one of the premieres will be one of your new favorites! Maybe you'll watch something so bad that you can make yourself mad years later just by thinking about it. The world is alight with possibilities! We're back for a FIVE-episode fall engagement! This week we'll announce our picks, and next week we're going to do an obligatory Oops! All Fantasy episode about the House of the Dragon and Lord of the Rings shows.

Episode 328: GOBO '22 Pt 4 - Lovestruck High and Strange New Worlds May 26, 2022

Show notes

We wrap up this season's round of Good One/Bad One with one entirely predictable bad one (Amazon's Lovestruck High) and one pleasantly surprising good one (Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds). See you in the fall!

Episode 327: GOBO '22 Pt 3 Candy and The Time Traveler's Wife May 19, 2022

Show notes

This is, fundamentally, an episode about life's most existential questions. Some of those questions are fairly simple: what is good TV? How many shows about the same true crime murder is too many shows?

Some of those questions are much more complicated, like "if a time traveler poops in the woods and Steven Moffat is the showrunner and he changes the rules of how the story works so that detached parts of the time traveler's body follow him around through time and space ... what are the implications for Thanksgiving?"

Episode 326: GOBO '22, Pt. 2 -- Our Flag Means Death and The Courtship May 12, 2022

Show notes

This week, Margaret reopens her Queer TV Quorner to discuss OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH and then inflicts THE COURTSHIP upon Andrew and Kathryn. Its vastly superior predecessor Regency House Party is also discussed.

Episode 323: FATHER CHRISTMAS IS BACK, BABY Dec 23, 2021

Show notes

This week we watched the unredeemable mess that is Netflix's Father Christmas Is Back, starring Frasier from the show Frasier. You'll miss us when we're gone.

Episode 322: Final Q&A Dec 16, 2021

Show notes

In this week's episode, we take our final dive into the Ask Box while it's still Appointment Television's ask box. Himbos, endings, and what we would do with nigh unlimited funds are all discussed, among other things. And Margaret barely even cries, it's really impressive how brave she is.

Episode 321: THE FINAL LOST SYMBOL Dec 09, 2021

Show notes

It's the final SYMBOL [final countdown riff goes here].

It's got everything - it's got death! It's got pyramids! It's got degrees, but not celsius or fahrenheit degrees, some OTHER degrees! It's got resonance, and kissing (terrible kissing), and oh yes - it's got symbols.
