SS111 - Fat Pizza

Episode 111

Sunday, July 28, 2024 • Duration 01:29:13

Aussie sitcom Fat Pizza (aka Pizza) is brought to the table by Jeffers, serving up something Steve doesn't want to consume! Partying, fights, drugs, sexy time, fake IDs, tabloid photos, burnouts and more.

We cover 'Road Trip' from Pizza's third season in 2003, discussing the Paulyverse and creator Paul Fenech's legacy in the history of Australian sitcoms. We also issue the first ever Sitcom Showdown trigger warning.

Buckle up and settle in!

SS109 - Absolutely Fabulous

Episode 109

Friday, May 10, 2024 • Duration 01:19:04

The Absolutely Fabulous classic episode 'Poor' (s02e05) gets put under the microscope by Jeffers & Steve, who are impressed by AbFab's amazing cast, but will it win them around to the series as a whole?

The show has a top-shelf group of regulars including Joanna Lumley, Jennifer Saunders, Julia Sawahla and the great June Whitfield, so what's not to like?

Thursday, March 28, 2024 • Duration 49:27

This episode is a visit the Hall of Shame as we check out the infamous British sitcom 'Heil Honey I'm Home' (1990) which was cancelled after only one episode!

A big shout out to the Talking Bottom podcast, from whom we borrowed a clip of their amazing interview(s) with Paul Jackson.

SS105 - ALF

Episode 105

Monday, October 30, 2023 • Duration 52:47

ALF is selected by Jeffers for an almost Halloweenish peek into an alien-on-Earth sitcom.

'Working My Way Back To You' is the opener to ALF season 2, broadcast in late 1987, where Alf tries to avoid exile to the garage by becoming the Tanner family's butler for a week!

Steve & Jeffers also chat about Earth-based alien sitcoms in general, and this sitcom's challenges of filming around a puppet, which reportedly drove the cast to distraction.

SS104 - Barbara

Episode 104

Tuesday, September 12, 2023 • Duration 49:12

Steve brings 'Barbara' to the showdown (a listener suggestion) so that he and Jeff can check out the turn-of-the-century UK sitcom starring Gwen Taylor and Sam Kelly.

The ep in question is Series 3 episode 2, titled FLOOD, and it turns out to be packed with plenty of quality jokes.

Thanks to Jono for the suggestion!

SS103 - A Grand Tour of Edmund: A Butler's Tale & Boswell's Life of Johnson

Episode 103

Sunday, August 27, 2023 • Duration 43:33

Steve uses Blackadder's 'Ink & Incapability' as a springboard to go on a Grand Tour of Edmund: A Butler's Tale & Boswell's Life of Johnson.

What were the links between Dr Johnson & Boswell, and the Prince Regent and Gertude Perkins and the great romantic poets (if any)? Or did Ben Elton and Richard Curtis simply fabricate them with hilarious results?

We find out in this ep of Sitcom Showdown.

SS102 - We Are Men

Episode 102

Friday, July 21, 2023 • Duration 01:16:41

We Are Men was a swiftly-cancelled 2013 sitcom on CBS (only 2 episodes!) starring some great actors such as Tony Shalhoub, Jerry O'Connell and Kal Penn. The show looked great, plenty of well-shot location work, with experienced hands at the helm. So what went wrong? Jeffers and Steve review both eps of We Are Men and give you the low-down.
