This time Jason Alexander goes from lovably enraged loser George Costanza to a third rate Tony Robbins named Bob Patterson. The ep we watched, "Naked Bob," deals with his serious confidence issues regarding his downtown region. That's right, there's lots of boner talk in this one! (more so even than usual!) With the biggest comedy hit of all time only a few years behind him, how did J-Xan's followup sitcom fold faster than Kramer in The...

We celebrate by finally having our hilarious and talented friend, comedian/actor/podcaster Nick Aragon (F*ck This Place podcast, @instaragon) on the show!! And what a treat of a show we had for him! (shout-out to Josh Hollis of Predict-o-Cast for the recommendation!!) In a world full of shows based on popular, well-established, interesting and iconic superhero characters, one show dared to be different. One show had the balls to reach into the depths of obscurity and pull out a mediocre character that literally not one person was asking for. And...

But that means there's definitely at least three... Right?? Truthfully we don't know anything about the Highlander series, and watching this brief side quest didn't help us out at all. I think it involves swords, kicking stuff, and maybe stealing diamonds? On the plus side, Morgan found The Raven so exciting that she literally lost consciousness during most of the show! There's no shortage of amusing anecdotes and tangents on this one as we try desperately to find anything interesting to say about a...

That's right, after 14 episodes, this lady-werewolf show was moved to Los Angeles, retooled and even given a new name! ...And then was cancelled after 6 episodes. Our friend, and talented actor, Lucia Towers joins us for one of the most genuinely enjoyable shows we've watched yet! This is one werewolf (show) that doesn't bite! We were over the moon for it! A real silver lining! We were howling with laughter... okay, I'm done.

Well somebody must have thought so, because the 1994 semi-hit film, turned beloved series, Stargate, got the animated treatment in 2002! But make sure your kids are all caught up with the SG universe because this baby ain't gonna hold your hand with exposition. And character back stories? Who needs em! It's got bureaucracy. It's got villains without motives. It's got people with blue hair and face tattoos! What I'm saying is, this is not a good show for children... or anyone else. Stargate: Infinity?

Anyway it’s 3:00am on Thanksgiving morning so I’m not going to worry too much about this description since I’m pretty sure no one even reads them anyway.

I bet you still couldn't finish all seven episodes! We watched the critical bashing post The I-Land beginning our coverage of the worst TV of 2019! Seriously, this one nearly broke Morgan. I wasn't sure she would make it through the whole thing. If not for the competence of the adorable (and chin en-dimpled) Kate Bosworth, this might have been literally unwatchable.

This time she's taking her lovable quirks all the way to White House in the politically inept 2012 NBC comedy, 1600 Penn! Now the Elfster is playing second fiddle to America's favorite singing snowman, Josh Gad! The votes are in, and viewers elected... to change the channel.

We Have The Power!!! The power to watch really bad 90s cartoon reboots that is! It's everyone's favorite muscle bound sword-swinger, He-Man! But not quite like you remember him. That's right, just a few years after Masters of the Universe, in 1990, He-Man was rebooted, lamer, and tamer than ever! Remember Skeletor, the awesome, ripped skeleton-man menace? He's here too! Except, now he sucks! What a great idea!! Just take everything that was cool about the original and make it terrible! Can you sense the sarcasm!?!!?

We talk about Mike's two true loves: Carly Rae Jepsen and WWE wrestling, Morgan's many new soda-based jobs, our favorite TGIF shows, magic powers, visits to TV sets, and some stories about funny kids. Mostly we just shoot the shucks and read random questions from the internet. Is that anything? I really don't know. Hope you enjoy it!!

Nothing can prepare you for this unbelievably silly premise that concerns grumpy cop Peter Boyle, a lovable bulldog, brutal murder and... magic?? It only took a single episode for the network to realize this was one bone that was better off buried!

We're back with another installment of "Friends Before Friends" and it turns out that way before she was Monica Gellar, Courtney Cox was getting her telekinesis on in the super 80s (and surprisingly meta) action comedy, Misfits of Science!! This show is absolutely chock full of cheesy jokes, awesome tunez, stunnin' shades, lasers, mini-cassette tapes, Ferraris, big hair, and white high top sneakers!! Oh and it's seriously got one of the best theme songs ever! Why was this cancelled after 16 episodes?? It's totally bitchin'!

In a desperate attempt to find anything relevant to currently popular TV show, Stranger Things, we watched the 2014 David Harbour star vehicle (just kidding he's only a supporting character) State of Affairs!

We celebrate America by taking a look at what it does best: taking something from dumb old England and making it way better!! ::guitar solo:: In 1992 NBC took a crack at remaking the cult BBC sci-fi comedy hit Red Dwarf, hoping to find the next big American sitcom. Even though it never aired, and never even got a second episode, it's pretty obvious which one is better. I say that as someone who has never seen the British version, but blindly assume it is true.

That’s right, everyone’s favorite superhero punchline, the whale whisperer himself, Aquaman, was star of his very own TV show… For one episode anyway. Also this show has A LOT to do with the Bermuda triangle. Not really sure what that's all about. Josh subs in for Morgan this week to help find out if this floundering failure belongs on the bottom of the sea.
We also discuss Beach Boys geography, octopus drummers, and James Wan's obsession with spino...

This is the first time we’ve done a show that’s still currently airing, but with all the controversy surrounding it’s ludicrously quick termination, we had to find out what all the hubbub was about! Was this tale of the classic horror hero pruned too early, or was it bogged down with a muddy production?

2019-06-111h 11Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP62 - Point PleasantI've heard of daddy issues, but this is ridiculous! This week we watched as the lady anti-Christ turned against her old man (aka, Satan!), in 2005's super soapy, Good vs Evil drama, Point Pleasant! It may have only lasted 8 episodes but Mike is still pining over the loss of this obscure Fox failure, co-created by former Buffy showrunner Marti Noxon. Speaking of Buffy, Chevy returns to fill in for Morgan, and The Slayer is definitely on her brain, but don't worry she still discusses Point Pleasant (and Point Break?), even if she'd rather be talking about Xander and Willow...
2019-06-041h 17Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP61 - Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the RealmHold on to your joysticks (and internal organs!), this week we watched the television adaptation of the most notorious video game of the 90s, Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm! Brent from Home Video Hustle is back to fill in for Morgan, and he brings his ridiculously detailed knowledge of all things Kombat! No character is too obscure, no back story too insignificant, Brent knows these violent ninjas, robots, demons, and more, better than most people know their loved ones! But how can a kids Saturday morning cartoon capture the graphically gratuitous nature of this fatality-filled fighting favorite?
2019-05-291h 05Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP60 - Samurai Pizza CatsHoly Cats! What do you get when you mix feline cyborgs, ancient Japanese warriors, and the most delicious food on the planet?? The 1990 animated import, Samurai Pizza Cats! It’s a veritable fancy feast of puns, guns, parody, and hilarity, and almost certainly the only show to feature robot cats being launched out of a gun-shaped pizzeria! Morgan is absent again, but we’ve got a More Gooder substitute, “Crushin’ It” Chris Braaten! Plus an all new robotronic Morgan replacement, Cy-Morg!
Mike (aka "Pizza Mike") makes some shocking accusations about the notable lack of a certain titular cheese pie...
2019-05-211h 00Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP59 - Mann & MachineCrime is a computer virus… She’s the cure! We watched the absolutely ridiculous, ultra-90s cyber-police procedural, Mann & Machine! From the creator of Law and Order comes the classic story of a grumpy butthole police detective who hates robots but is forced to team up with a beautiful and acrobatic android who has a pre-school education and a love of chocolate donuts! What a mismatched pair! Zany robo-antics most definitely ensue.
This week Mike is joined by guest host Tiffany since Morgan is on the other side of the country (but don’t worry, she still makes...

We watched the 2009 single-season murder mystery, Harper’s Island! Who wouldn’t want to set their wedding in the isolated location where a violent serial killer had chopped up their friends and family only a few short years prior?! It’s show that tests the limit of how many characters can be crammed into a single plot! It’s a horror show that takes music cues right out of teen dramas. It’s a show that… we actually liked?? Dun dun dunnnnn!!
2019-04-301h 07Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP57 - Marvel's InhumansEveryone (except Morgan) is crazy for the MCU! And with Avengers: Endgame coming out this week the hype has never been more substantial! So we figured the time was right to take a look at the one thing nobody likes from Marvel’s cinematic universe, the 2017 super-flop, Inhumans! It’s that one with the giant CGI bulldog and a lady with magic hair. Remember? Fanboys be warned, we don’t actually know a whole lot about the MCU (and NOTHING about the Inhumans comics) and we spend a lot of time in this episode getting pretty much everything wrong! But it...
2019-04-231h 06Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP56 - Lancelot Link: Secret ChimpWe can’t monkey unsee this monkey doo doo! This week Morgan forced Mike to watch an absurdly dumb show with an entirely chimpanzee cast! Apparently the bizarro 1970 spy comedy, “Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp” was actually a real thing that existed and was on TV, and it is every bit as strange as it sounds.
From Breakfast Spaghetti, to pretending to know about British TV shows, to "Stunt Munks" and Pizza flavored Mad Libs, this episode is more fun than a double barrel of monkeys straight to the funny bone! You could say this show was a real b...
2019-04-1658 minBad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP55 - The Powers of Matthew StarFrom out of this world and onto our television, we get invaded by 1982’s alien superhero drama with an identity crisis, The Powers of Matthew Star!! Or is it David Star? This is definitely the first show we’ve watched that can’t even get it’s main character’s name right. Louis Gossett Jr. shows up (with hair!) as does everyone’s favorite Friday the 13th Part II star, Amy Steel. Sparks fly, busses crash, and projectors burst into flame as we watch another pick from TV Guide’s 50 Worst TV Shows of All Time, so you know we’ve got a re...
2019-04-101h 10Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP54 - Good Reception: Grey's AnatomyCode Lavender! Get us 100cc’s of soapy medical drama stat!! We’re back with another episode of Good Reception, but this time neither of us has ever seen the show. Somehow we’ve missed the biggest TV phenomenon of the past decade and a half, the much beloved, and oft referenced Grey’s Anatomy. We jump into the middle of season two with the show’s most ever watched episode, “It’s the End of the World.” Will we become the newest Anatom-aniacs (I think I just made that up?) or will it die on the operating table? Either way it’s...
2019-04-021h 03Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP53 - Accidentally on PurposeWe're back with another episode of the ever-popular "Elfman on the Shelf!" This time J-Elf finds herself in a more traditional sitcom, about an unconventional relationship! Sound familiar?? It's Knocked Up meets Dharma & Greg... meets an awful moldy old garbage biscuit covered in sewage juice! Josh and Tiffany join us for one of the most painful viewing experiences in the history of the show!
Along the way Tiff confuses Jenna Elfman, Jen Kirkman, James Dean, John Wayne, Kate Moss, Kate Upton, 30 Rock and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Josh helps solve a juicy Hollywood murder mystery, Mike...
2019-03-261h 23Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP52 - V.I.P.
We’ve got our sights set and hot pants on for on the campy 1998 Pamela Anderson action comedy V.I.P!! Prepare yourself for explosions, inappropriate hot dog stands, Breaking Bad stars, pixie cuts, erotic daydreams, hidden arsenals, movie stars, tax evasion, and more silicone than any dress can contain!!
Hollywood Power Couple Josh and Tiff join us as we argue over celebrity sex tapes, basketball terminology, hot dog toppings, and the relevance of Bee Movie’s on-set experts. Plus sexy Brawny stories, pondering where the stars of Lizzie McGuire are today, and a brand new catchphrase for...
2019-03-191h 30Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP51 - Sonic Underground
We’ve got the need for speed, and only the furry blue spiked one can get the job done! It’s our first video game adaptation and we went for the weirdest, goofiest, most gosh dark rock-n-roll-est show we could get our hands on, 1999’s Sonic Underground! Hope you’re ready for sick guitar riffs, laser blasting drum beats and, of course, fog spewing organ solos…(?) because this ain’t your daddy’s Sonic!
Morgan is somehow even sicker this week, hacking her lungs out (apologies misophoniacs!), but she’s a flippin' pro and showed up for the recording any...
2019-03-121h 10Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP50 - Ghost Whisperer Revisited
Happy Podiversary!! That’s right we’re celebrating one year of putting ourselves through awful TV shows for your entertainment! We also brought back our original guest host, Josh, and are revisiting one of the very first series we covered, Ghost Whisperer!! The fans just can’t get enough of JLH’s spooky spirit sleuthing. We chose to watch the season four episode “Stage Fright” (or as we prefer to call it “The Soap Opera is Coming to Town) for some very good, super mature reasons. As a bonus Morgan is super sick (and feeling “plunky”) so get ready for sniffles, coug...
2019-03-061h 25Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP49 - 666 Park Avenue
It's spooky satanic shenanigans meets high-priced Manhattan real estate, in the first show ever made for horror geeks and architecture nerds! If you're looking for thrills, chills and soul damning deals, tell the cabbie to take you to 666 Park Avenue! After concluding that the show is neither Lucifer nor Ugly Betty (but not ruling out that it may secretly be Castle Rock Season 2) Mike and Morgan dig into this slick horror drama that was sent to an early grave. Plus Morgan cries, cries, cries while calling Ms. Britney a "B," recounts the traumatizing time she watched Legion at the gym, a...
2019-02-261h 24Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP48 - Tremors: The SeriesFrom the depths of television obscurity, we unearth the 2003 Syfy TV spinoff of the immensely entertaining Tremors film franchise! Is this "underground" series worthy of the good Graboid™️ name, or should we have left it buried? Lot’s of talk about Wild Things and “Kevin Bacon’s Front Jimmy” in this one, and we seem to be on constant lookout for a connection between Graboids and hemorrhoids that never really comes to fruition. Meanwhile Morgan has some tingly feelings for Michael Gross and can’t stand people who pronounce Nevada “NeVAHda,” and Mike reveals his frosted tip past and insists that everyone know...
2019-02-121h 15Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP47 - Sabrina: The Animated Series
It's the animated prequel to the original live-action adaptation of the classic comic series that is a spinoff of a larger universe!! Before she was a teenage witch, beloved character Sabrina was a tween-age spell-caster-in-training. And also a cartoon! Will Morgan's nostalgia for TGIF color her judgement of this single season cartoon curiosity? Will Mike be charmed by a bastardized version of a character he knows pretty much nothing about? Jason Diego Mederos (Things I Hate) returns to help us bring back classic 90s slam "You Got Moded!" as well as tell the story of his very special family...
2019-02-051h 12Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP46 - Imaginary Mary
We kick off our new series, Elfman on the Shelf (aka Bottom Shelfman, aka The Dharma Initiative) with the 2017 Jenna Elfman sitcom bomb, Imaginary Mary! In a career chock full of duds, could this ABC family dramedy with an adorably annoying CG co-star be a diamond in the rough? …I can only imagine! Meanwhile Morgan is full of serenades this episode including her funky parody of “Angel of the Morning,” plus she throws shade at mini-golf, Jenna Elfman’s charisma, and Scientology! Mike gets really deep into some beard banter, teases some Full House fan theories, and overshares his fear of c...
2019-01-291h 04Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP45 - The CapeHoly generic superheroes! It's not a bird. It's not a plane (although it certainly is PLAIN). No it's NBC's laughably lame, costumed, crime-fighting crusader, The Cape! We finally take on the most popular genre in the world, by watching a series that almost no one even remembers! However, the real hero is Keith David, because he's always awesome. Also, Morgan educates everyone on Walrus reproductive anatomy, Mike tries to figure out what the hell a Milkshake Cake is, and everyone is calling everyone a mofo. So, here we come to save the day, mutha f****s!

2019-01-231h 05Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP44 - Life with Lucy
Lucy's definitely got some s'plaining to do! After three smash hit television series, the comedic legend sadly ended her illustrious career with this universally panned 80s sitcom, Life with Lucy. It's the classic story of a widow, her son-in-law's father, a hardware store, pineapple boxes, Jenny Lewis, and a bunch of bland randos living in a house! Also it may or may not feature a cameo by Desi Arnez, Jr. and Automan (spoiler: it doesn't). There's also some tips about farm living, Morgan gives some very NSFW nicknames to Huey Dewey and Louie, and Mike pitches a the hip-hop supergroup Ja...
2019-01-1652 minBad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP43 - Baby Bob
Oh Baby! Mike and Morgan are crying for their mommies after watching this dirty diaper of a show! It's the sitcom everyone in 2002 was clamoring for, based on a dumb Quiznos commercial, and starring a freaking talking baby: Baby Bob. They also rattle on about Baby Bob Balaban, speculate that the Chicago Fire franchise is just an elaborate ruse, and briefly remember that Tila Tequila was a thing! Strap into your booster seats kids, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

2019-01-0855 minBad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP42 - Good Reception: Tru CallingHappy New Year! We start 2019 off on a positive note with our long awaited return to Good Reception! Mike makes Morgan watch one of his favorite short-lived series, the terrific time-looper, Tru Calling! With the likes of Eliza Dushku and Zach Galifianakis, a killer premise, and epically 2003 soundtrack, how did this high-concept thriller not last? And more importantly will Morgan agree that it’s a winner, or will she stab Mike through the heart like some kind of evil vampire slayer?
This episode also features plenty of musical numbers, countless interruptions, a discussion of 2003 hunks, an attempt to name any youn...

Bad Reception All-Stars Josh and Tiffany return, just in time for some mighty morphin’ ...alien fighting? We watched the 1994 Power Ranger’s knock-off (and lengthily titled) Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills! You’re in store for lots of singing, uncontrollable giggling, sexual innuendo, dirty words, vowel confusion and porn stores galore! Plus Josh unravels a conspiracy, Tiff nearly goes into labor, Mike invites Gillian Jacobs to be on the show and Morgan has a hard time remembering what clouds are. And don't forget kids, ITS POWER IS FINITE!!

Josh Hollis (of the fantastic Predict-O-Cast) joins us to talk about Woops!, a high-concept FOX sitcom that deals with some VERY heavy themes with the with all the delicacy of an atomic blast. TV Guide named it one of the 50 worst TV shows ever made, but is there anything to like about this ratings bomb? Join us for discussions on the durability of Volvos, Santa Claus cameos, and lacking laugh tracks. Plus we join a biker gang!

Unfortunately Zack Morris and Kelly Kapowski are nowhere to be found, instead we get Weasel, Tommy D., and a whole slew of third-rate knock-offs (AKA "The New Class"). In other news, we're super excited to announce that we are now part of the fantastic PodFix Network!! But are we worthy of joining this elite group? If our knowledge of the original Saved by the Bell is any measure, then it's a resounding NO. However, I think we more than make up for it...
2018-12-041h 18Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TVEP38 - Sons of ThunderHowdy Pardners! We took a trip to the Lone Star state to visit everyone’s favorite bearded butt-kicker, Chuck Norris! Did you know that Walker, Texas Ranger had a very short-lived spinoff, inexplicably titled Sons of Thunder? Apparently neither did anyone else! This gritty, murder-filled, Southern-fried, karate/detective noir has something for everyone. Especially if you’re looking for ridiculous music cues! Plus, Morgan can’t contain her potty mouth, Mike explains the super real details of what a Texas Ranger is, and we out Chuck Norris as a robot! It’s a roundhouse kick to your funny bone!

We celebrate the thankful season with America’s most beloved actor, and patron saint of yell-talk comedy, Tom Hanks! We watched the 80s sitcom Bosom Buddies co-starring Peter Scolari, and other familiar faces we couldn’t place, but are pretty sure we know from other stuff. Morgan apparently had no idea what the show was about, so lets hope it’s not too much of a drag for her! We spend a lot of time talking about other shows (Spaced, The Greatest Event in Television History) and naming as many Tom Hanks movies as we can off the to...

From Saban (the guys that brought you Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers), it’s the low budget, live-action TMNT show that absolutely no one was asking for! Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. There’s plenty to talk about including Mike’s creepy nickname for Morgan, Chris and Alyse being tormented by a phantom tapper at their house, and Morgan definitely knows who the “red one” is and how to pronounce his name! This was...

Well I hope our delirious laughter and fart jokes will cheer you up because this small screen spinoff never got off the ground. However, thanks to the magic of YouTube we were able to watch the "unaired pilot" for Adventures in Babysitting (it obviously was aired, just never picked up to series). We also talk about our favorite celebrity couple, Blenifer, set up the immensely important trash compactor poll, spend way too long talking about Boz Scaggs (an artists we seemingly know nothing about), Morgan declares her love for Vincent D'Onofrio and we get...

And just in time for the holiday, it’s a Halloween episode featuring Mariska Margitay! Fellow Elm Street fan, Brent from Home Video Hustle, joins us to talk about Kruger’s small screen slashings!

Not exactly... I mean, not at all, even a little bit. But it IS going to have a crystal ball, a ghost uncle, and an old man wearing a Merlin costume! And that's just as good! Right? Along the way we debate the definition of "co-ed," and whether or not the series invented Halloween, but we can all agree that Steve Zahn makes everything better. Also Mike teaches everyone the fascinating history of the origins of Friday the 13th, and...

Sarah Jessica Parker (queen of the three-namers) and the lovely Jaimie Gertz (why don't you just marry her, Mike!?) star in this short lived, but fondly remembered show.
Morgan sets the tone with a reading of one of her favorite poems, and drops some mad knowledge about screen legend Alan Ruck. Mike counts films in the Halloween series, wonders what Peggy is short for, and declares...

Tiffany and Josh return to podcast and eat pizza… and we’re all out of pizza (but some does get delivered to us while recording!)

Morgan tries her hand at ASMR and sings us a very special version of “My Favorite Things” (I don’t think Julie Andrews says t***ies in her version).

We also get into some of our favorite 90s garbage like Gushers, Crossfire and Squeezits! Mike confirms the validity of the science behind the show. Jason speculates that the show is a thinly veiled allegory for gang warfare, and possibly written by rapper Kurupt. Morgan apologizes to David Wain for nearly killin...

Just kidding, they just watched a weird religious based supernatural mystery thriller TV show from 2003 called Miracles, featuring Skeet playing a hoax hunting priest. Was it one of the titular miracles that it lasted 7 episodes? Was it an act of God it was taken off the air? Or maybe Satan is to blame for it's unfortunate demise? One thing's for sure, Skeet can seduce the hell out of a blind lady! It's raining blood, Hallelujah! Other inside jokes from the episode! Plus Morgan announces her newly won cha...

The Henson company brings us Aliens in the Family, a muppet/human sitcom abomination starring some of weirdest characters doing insufferably mundane things! We also spend time referencing Hey Dude!, speculate alien sex noises, argue over the color of Hayden Panettiere's hair and Kristanna Loken's relevancy, Men in Black, Alf, types of pudding, and plenty of weiner talk!

That's right, the very first R-Rated film to be turned into an animated children's show was the ultra-violent bullet frenzy that is the First Blood series. Why not? That seems perfectly appropriate for children!(?) Morgan is living it up in the Big Apple this week, so Josh returns as substitute co-host. We talk about the potential for a kid-centric Rambo cartoon set in the suburbs, Josh spreads roumors about Captain Planet, plus we discuss the various incarnations of Rambo and the superiority of Hot S...

Mike is joined by guest co-host Josh for the second installment of “Buffy Buddies,” as Morgan continues her sabbatical (j/k she’s super busy with real work). In addition to spending over a half hour on the intricate plot of an 18 minute teenage soap opera pilot, they find time to compare the show to California Dreams, marvel over the fact that the main dude is the guy from 90s-kid-staple Airborne, Mike talks about his favorite character on One Tr...

We'll probably have a lot of fallout over this one, but it's actually not the new movie we're talking about. It's not the old TV show either. It's the NEW old TV show: the quasi reboot of Mission: Impossible from 1988! Did you even know this existed? We sure didn't! Josh and Tiff are filling in for Morgan this week, and things get real silly, real quick. But all you Morg-heads out there are in for a special treat about halfway through the Ep!

In preparation for Hulu’s Castle Rock series we thought we’d check out one of the prolific writer’s least loved television conversions. Is there enough material to make an entire series? Will we get to the mist in the first episode? Is it actually fog? Does anyone watch SpikeTV?

A critical success and audience favorite, how has he never seen it?? Will Mike be turned into an instant Nanny fan, or will the nasally New Yorkah drive him nuts?

It’s yet another installment of “Friends before Friends!” This week we unearth the TV spinoff “Ferris Bueller," starring a pre-Rachel Jennifer Aniston. It's kind of like if everything you love about Ferris Bueller's Day Off got flushed down a toilet, lit on fire, and smashed into pieces! It's that good! We spend an absurd amount of time avoiding talking about this one, with topics ranging from Mike's infatuation with there being a Jumaji TV show, to audience thoughts on Jennifer Aniston vs a tuna sandwich, heaping praise for Lisa Kudrow despite having nothing to do with this show, ponderin...

It's like Star Wars but with bunnies, cats, toads, and baboons! Plus robots, dimensional travel, and busty animated kitties! Plus Josh joins us to educate Morgan on the NES classic Battletoads (although it remains unclear exactly what that game was about), we get into some deep fan theories on why Bucky might be green, and ponder Neil Degrasse Tyson's thoughts on the accuracy of the show.

It may be incoherent, and we may be insufferable, but one thing is for sure: it meets the minimum requirements to be considered a podcast. It may not be pretty, but we did it get it posted under the wire. We also find time to discuss the Disney Channel film Under W...

It's ABC's Invasion from 2005! It's often cited as a cancelled-too-soon classic, but will it invade our hearts or get under our skin? Plus we talk about the lengend of duendes, Mike sneakily watching two seasons of The Americans WITHOUT MORGAN, and the necessity of storm beers.

Not to worry, wrestling fanatics Tiffany and Josh are here to show them the error of their ways. It's a super-sized episode that has been dubbed the Wrestlemania of Podcasting!
