The O.C.

lundi 9 septembre 2024Duration 34:43

Which pilot should we review next? Contact Dando and let him know at [email protected]

We thought we'd take a trip to California this week with the pilot of The O.C. Honestly, this was a LOT of fun. The series is just such a time capsule, with a pretty impressive story amongst a barrage of dated jokes and terrible acting. Sandy Cohen however, in the words of Guy Davis...WHAT A LORD!

Cheers

vendredi 30 août 2024Duration 40:25

It's the podcast where every host knows your name! That's right, this week we're reviewing the pilot episode of "Cheers", which we both absolutely adored. From the opening scene you can't help but smile, a true joy to watch. We discuss the classic parody on "The Simpsons", whether Sam Malone is a good guy, the annoyance od Diane and more.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

samedi 29 juin 2024Duration 01:11:41

This week we visited Sunnydale High School and checked out the pilot episode of Josh Whedon's smash-hit series 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', titled "Welcome to the Hellmouth".

Despite this originally airing as a two-parter, we only review the first episode, which ended on a classic "to be continued". WHAT A HOOK!

We also dive into the original Buffy film from 1992, the casting choices of Buffy's friends Xander and Willow, the music (including an amazing theme song from Nerf Herder), the vampire make-up design, the pros/cons of the dialogue and more.

What are YOUR thoughts on the pilot? Does it do a decent enough job of hooking you in as a viewer? What would you add/change?

Bob's Burgers

mardi 25 juin 2024Duration 01:04:00

It's the pilot episode of our new pilot podcast! What better show to begin with than Bob's Burgers?!

There was so much to love about "Human Flesh" and it absolutely nailed just about every aspect of what a "pilot" should be. 

"Human Flesh", originally aired January 9th, 2011.

Frasier

vendredi 23 août 2024Duration 41:48

Grab some tossed salad and scrambled eggs because this week we're reviewing the pilot episode of Frasier! A fantastic transition for the Frasier character from the wholesome atmosphere of Cheers to his high-strung lifestyle in Seattle.

The Shield

lundi 19 août 2024Duration 51:32

"Good pod and bad pod left for the day. I'm a different kind of pod." That's right, this week we're reviewing the kick-arse pilot episode of "The Shield", one of the greatest television shows of all time!So much to love, the oozing charisma of Michael Chiklis, the cut-throat directing, not to mention THAT ending. We also ask ourselves, is Vic Mackey a bad guy?

Haaaaaavvvveee you met Guy? No? Well suit up, cause it's time you sat down and let he and Dando tell you the story about how they made a podcast about "How I Met Your Mother".

A real mixed bag here; a lot to like, a lot to question and a lot to try and forget. Overall a solid pilot, however would we like to know more? Listen and find out.

The X-Files

vendredi 2 août 2024Duration 43:10

Do you want to believe? Well you should, 'cause the pod...is out there! That's right, our pod where we go back and revisit the incredible pilot episode of 'The X-Files'!

We're not quite sure there's much more that this episode could've delivered. The only thing missing was the classic theme song (don't worry, it's included here).

Other than, a rather flawless first entry into the paranormal world of Mulder and Scully.What were your thoughts on the pilot?

Disenchantment

vendredi 26 juillet 2024Duration 45:26

Safe to say, we were both left rather disenchanted after watching this pilot. As life-long Simpsons and Futurama fans, the hype going into this series was immense, for Dando in particular, which is what made this all the more disappointing. As Dando puts it, "every character is either an idiot, cruel or unhappy".

Granted, the show most likely improves going forward, however as an introductory pilot episode, this didn't exactly leave us wanting more. What are your thoughts on the "Disenchantment" pilot?

The Golden Girls

vendredi 19 juillet 2024Duration 40:32

Thank-you for being a listener! Honestly, this is probably the most excited Dando has been to review an episode in a long time. The Golden Girls just makes you smile the second you think about it. Not to mention it has the greatest theme song of all-time.

Here we discuss the pilot, which sees Rose, Dorothy and Sophia move in with Blanche, setting up one of the most beloved ensembles in television history.
