If you’ll be our Michael Chiklis, we’ll be your Tennessee lambs or something like that. It’s the Shield!

Who would have thought the LAPD had so much corruption? Sounds wild and fictional! Well good news for all of us that the brave folks at FX decided to give this super unrealistic depiction of the LAPD a shot!

With a tremendous cast of Michael Chiklis, Walton Goggins, Jay Karnes, Benito Martinez, and CCH Pounder we get a first hand look at the violence, corruption, greed and complexity behind LA’s most notorious crime solvers.

I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith – as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again.

They're playing bas-ket-ball, we love that bas-ket-ball

Yeah, now basketball is my favorite sport
I like the way they dribble up and down the court
I keep it so fresh on the microphone
I like no interruption when the game is on
I like slam dunk, to take me to the hoop
My favorite play is the alley-oop
I like the pick-and-roll
I like the give-and-go
In this basketball, Bow Wow, let's go

The sitcom of the 90's! No, not Seinfeld. No, not Friends. But a secret, third option. This week the guys are talking NewsRadio, the massively underrated sitcom that clearly pissed off the wrong people at the network. Come relive the show that was the comedy golden mushroom that grew in the dark. 

This week we answer the question,  "What did you mean by 'Feel my skills Donkey Donkey Donkey Donkey?'"

We have our first returning co-pilot! Welcome back to your ears, Grey's Anatomy expert and super fan Korama Danquah!

We're covering the show that built the M.A.G.I.C. (you'll get it soon) of ShondaLand! We're touching on an awful lot in this show so just sit back and enjoy and appreciate Korama's expertise of everything Grey's.

ABC Family gonna ABC Family! This episode falls completely off the rails (too soon?), as the guys discuss their most Jesusy show yet. This show has everything from uniquely bad parenting to promise ring culture to an exorbitantly expensive soundtrack to the failures of abstinence-only sex education and ERNIE HUDSON? Honestly this episode is super fun, the guys unleash a new segment called Daddy of the Week, tune in and turn off your brain.

Come hitch a ride on this this christian dumpster fire and try not to throw your remote fully through your TV. Also, stay tuned for a lesson from Rich that no one asked for!

All rise! Once the seatbelt sign is turned off. It's time to get into some hijinks as the guys visit the 1984 pilot of the sitcom 'Night Court.'

Geoff, Max, and Rich will give you the lowdown on how this pilot massively lucked out with a relatively unknown magician lead, a killer director, a terrible pilot season, and getting smashed into the most popular NBC lineup of all time. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and they'll talk about how they almost went to jail. Tune in for a special guest story from our Legal Counsel, Ben [LAST NAME REDACTED].

There is a small town of 5000 people in midwestern Ontario called Letterkenny. These are their problems.

Welcome to Letterkenny, a town that welcomes anyone as long as they like chorin’ or scoring’, druggin’ or sluggin’, and tweakin’ for the weekend. Come see the cult TV hit that began from a small YouTube video series in 2013. A show that encapsulates a language somehow foreign and familiar, just like how we all feel about Canada in general. We’ve got all your favorites, Jared Keeso, Michelle Myles, Nathan Dales, Jacob Tierney, Tyler Johnston, Dylan Playfair, Andrew Herr, K. Trevor Wilson and Lisa Condrington.

If you want to watch along with the TVPL Boys, The Letterkenny pilot dubbed “Ain’t no reason to get excited” is available on Hulu.

What's the deal with premature unnecessary comparisons? This week, the guys dig into a show seemed destined for greatness and fell a couple thousand miles short. We're talking FOXs 'Mulaney.' Created in 2013 by rising star comedian John Mulaney, combined with powerhouse cast members, a G.O.A.T. director, and Lorne Michaels backing, where did it all go wrong? Did NBC sabotage its chances?

It’s time to pop the champagne and look forward to the year ahead, but first, we need to recap the new shows of 2022. There’s no shortage of podcasts telling you how great “Severance,” “Yellowjackets,” and “The Bear” are so we’re not gonna do that! Instead, we break down three pilots that were canceled after one season: “Monarch” (Fox) “Blockbuster” (Netflix) and “How We Roll” (CBS).

The midterm elections are days away, and we've decided to contribute to democracy the only way we know how: by looking back on a sitcom that lasted a mere 13 episodes! Unlike their ballots, the pilots didn't mail this one in.   We'll be discussing fire safety, US trade policy (really), presidents playing sports and more!  What happens when a Broadway star, an Obama administration speechwriter, and one of the hottest directors in tv get together? Will this pod save America? Are people prepared to imagine a world where Bill Pullman plays the president...again?!

This week we dive into the best spy agency with the worst possible name, it’s ARCHER! The guys welcome long time friend and co-pilot, actor/Model/Malort spokesman John Machesky! You can catch him in the new series Cowboy Dreams dropping 12/19 on the Vigloo app!

Archer is the FX animated hit from Adam Reed which started as a character that embodies the sauve lifestyle he wanted. A little bit James Bond and a little bit Arrested Development, we follow the goings on of ISIS, the private spy agency in an ambiguous Cold War year. Starring H. Jon Benjamin, Jessica Walter, Aisha Tyler, Chris Parnell, Amber Nash and Judy Greer, this all star cast brings more laughs per minute than the human body can handle.

Ironic this is on Lifetime because this week’s protagonist is big time DEAD!

It’s Drop Dead Diva! This week we welcome back returning champion J. W. Crump (past episodes Nick Arcade and JEM!) to your ears. He brought us this lovely show with a terrific cast including Brooke Elliott Jackson Hurst, Brooke D’Orsay, Margaret Cho and Ben Feldman. We talk fat politics in TV, legal procedurals, acting choices, bar mitzvahs and more!
