TGI Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Happy Easter! To celebrate the spring holiday, Matt sat down to watch "The First Easter Rabbit" from Rankin/Bass for the first time!

Tune in to hear him talk about the ups and downs of this very *interesting* special and, as usual, he determines whether or not it should be deemed a holiday classic. Come listen!

Happy March! To celebrate this month nearly coming to a close, we are going with a little March Madness from The King of Queens!

Month has notoriously been hard to find relevant content and you'll have to listen to this one to see if it gets a "You Got it Dude!" or a No Way Jose!"

Happy Tuesday! And more importantly, Happy December! We've *officially* hit our favorite time of the year. To celebrate, we are covering a TGIF staple on the podcast with Family Matters!

This episode has great 90s decorations, some funny quips and we get a great lesson from Steve Urkel on the true meaning of Christmas!

Tune in now!

Merry Christmas Week! It is crazy to think this is our last Christmas episode of the year. This week we are covering 'Jolly Old St. Dick' from the second season of Third Rock from the Sun.

This episode has A LOT going for it in a very short period of time. Matt waxes poetic over John Lithgow's masterful performance, he once again expounds on his love of Christmas blow mold decorations and, as always, determines whether or not this episode should be deemed a holiday classic. 

Welcome back to the TGI Podcast! We are that much closer to Christmas and are excited to talk about one of the most nostalgia-driven shows of all time with The Wonder Years!

This week Matt talks about how Wayne may be the worst brother in the history of TV, how this shows makes him long for an era he never lived in and finds some connections between this episode and 'A Christmas Story.' As always, Matt determines whether or not this episode should be deemed a holiday classic! 

We are here with a very special BONUS episode of the podcast! We asked our listeners for some help on this one, asking what is the one gift they always wanted but never received for Christmas.

TGI Podcast is thankful for the submissions we received and had a lot of fun going over some of these toys and playing some iconic commercials for them! We also want to thank Mike and Rusty from Snow in Southtown, Charlyn from the Fashion Speaks podcast and Sean from the Christmas Podcasts Podcast for their audio submissions! We hope you enjoy this episode and would love to hear more of the gifts that you always wanted but never received!

Welcome back to a very special episode as we bring on Thom Crowe from Tis the Podcast to discuss "Net Prophets" from Season 2 of King of Queens! Christmas is now in full swing and we are feeling the feels discussing our history with this show. 

Matt and Thom go off the rails quite often in this episode discussing Christmas blow molds, why Matt will end up like Charlie Brown and his rock, how Thom could have been a multi-millionaire because of bitcoin and so much more. This one was a blast to record and, as always, Matt and Thom determine whether or not this episode should be deemed a holiday classic. 

Thanksgiving has now come and gone and we are full-steam ahead when it comes to Christmas here on TGI Podcast! This week, Matt jumps headfirst into his first official Christmas episode of the year by covering 'A Very Tanner Christmas' from Full House.

Matt discusses how amazing the set decorations are in this episode, how this episode has one of the most disturbing screenshots he has ever seen and why the sappy sad music in Full House is amazing. As always, he then determines whether or not this episode should be deemed a holiday classic! Be sure to stick around to the end to hear a promo from our friend Art over on the Cozy Christmas Podcast.

Happy Thanksgiving Week! It is hard to believe we are already so close to the big November holiday and that means Christmas is right around the corner! But before we turn the page to Santa Claus and reindeer, we are closing out our Thanksgiving episodes by going back to the land of Boy Meets World.

In this episode, Matt discusses how strange it is for students to win a turkey, how the whole class differences vibe threw him off and how he really struggled to determine whether or not this would be deemed a classic Thanksgiving episode. Get your stretchy pants on, make sure to baste that turkey in the oven and listen in to our final Thanksgiving episode of the year!

Welcome back! We are another week closer to Thanksgiving and we are back covering another episode of Everybody Loves Raymond! This week we turn to Season 1 to cover "Turkey or Fish" from the show. 

In this episode, Matt discusses the pure vitriol he has for Marie, why he understands the difficult spot Ray and Debra are in and why some of these jokes didn't really hit - including a strange joke about Pearl Harbor.
