The BBC4 coming-of-age comedy taking place in embattled Northern Ireland. From show runner Lisa McGee comes a smattering of her own high school stories and memories with sharp, hilarious writing. We follow a 16 year old Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), her cousin Orla (Louisa Harland), and best friends Clare and Michelle (Nicola Coughlan and Jamie-Lee O’Donnell) in the 1990’s as the Troubles raged but neared their end. The show found a global audience after Netflix grabbed the rights and the rest is history. Join us this week for a truly terrific high school comedy. | |||
| Donald Glover, Dan Harmon, College Classes, and Community | 09 May 2024 | 01:01:18 | |
Give us some more, time in a dream, give us a pod, that we can stream. It’s time to go back to school! It’s NBC’s weirdo tentpole comedy, Community! While you can probably take a wild guess that Max, Geoff, and Rich are all big fans and that they will just gush over this show. There are a lot of things to unpack. With tremendous cast and writing comes a complicated legacy and bizarre network choices that make this show rise to peak fandom on uncertain ground. While it’s easy to look back on this truly A++ cast and say “duh of course this is a hit” this show took a lot of chances and was the launching pad of some massive careers. Donald Glover, Gillian Jacobs, Alison Brie, Joel McHale, John Oliver, Yvette Nicole Brown, Danny Audi, Jim Rash, Dan Harmon, and Chevy Chase… hard to imagine all those big names together at once now. The guys talk exposition excellence, casting choices, bottle episodes, and more, so make sure to find la biblioteca and join our study group on Community.

| You - Flight 71 | 01 Feb 2024 | 01:07:24 | |
This week on TVPL the Pilots discuss the TV show 'You'. Not “you” per se, but maybe all of “us?” Like categorically “you” could be “me?” No, not “you” specifically, “you” in the sense of really anyone, the royal “you?” No, that’s not the right “you.” Actually maybe it’s not “you” like “us” maybe it’s just “you” as the seasonal hyperfixation of “you”. Third base. Anywho, they cover everything from the show's origin and creators Sara Gamble and Greg Berlanti, the portrayal of the main character Joe Goldberg by Penn Badgley, the stylistic choice of internal dialogue, and the unsettling and charming nature of the show. Joe's manipulation tactics, some outdoor activities and the expert camera work in the show. Stay tuned for a wild in-flight question and a thank you to all of our frequent flyers. Hosts: Geoff Kerbis Richard Inman Max Singer | |||
| Xena Warrior Princess - Flight 70 | 25 Jan 2024 | 01:05:29 | |
Xena?? We xeen the whole damn episode! Apparently the ancient Greeks invented the Spin-Off. The guys tackle this beloved Hercules character that got her very own action thriller series. Lucy Lawless stars as a warrior, hero of the commonfolk, and gay icon! Look, is it Breaking Bad? No. Is it a campy nerdy property with goofy sound effects, you betcha. Come see what's left the guys shaking their head and riding along with Xena, the second most popular syndicated show of it's time! Bonkers! Hosts: Geoff Kerbis Max Singer Rich Inman | |||

What can bring Gen Z TikTok'ers, lawyers-to-be, and fans of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle together? The love of SUITS damnit! The guys pin their pilot wings to their bespoke $10,000 suits and head over to the inexplicably long USA pilot about a top New York City law firm. Tonight is gonna be a movie, because this pilot is as long as one. The show captures the life and career of super lawyer Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) and his new wunderkind protege Michael Ross (Patrick J Adams). Also turning in exceptional performances are Gina Torres, Sarah Rafferty, Rick Hoffman and the Duchess of Sussex herself, Meghan Markle.

Jake (Andy Samberg), Amy (Melissa Fumero), Terry (Terry Crews), Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio), Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz), Gina (Chelsea Peretti) and of course Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher). | |||
| 2023 Year in Review - Flight #67 | 28 Dec 2023 | 01:07:39 | |
It's the End of Year Spectacular! Thank you all for staying with us as we watched more TV than we did during lockdown. While we objectively LOVED every show we covered this year, unfortunately there were some shows that came out in 2023 that weren't up to snuff! Can you believe it?? BAD television?? Well it's true, and the guys watched three shows that sadly will not see the bright lights of 2024! Geoff and Max got bit by the IP bug choosing to do the TV show versions of National Treasure and Grease, with Disney+'s 'The Edge of History' and 'Rise of the Pink Ladies' respectively. Rich went the route of the frenzied social media critic and chose a chaotic pick of HBO's 'The Idol' starring The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp. Will the guys find anything nice to say about these three short-lived shows? Will Max even be able to find his show since it was fully scrubbed from streaming? Start putting all your favorite shows on DVD's again and find out! Since you already know who is hosting, here's a list of animals that also don't live for a full year: Mosquito Worker Bee Labords Chameleon Ruby Throated Hummingbird Giant Sunda Rat American Copper Butterfly | |||
| Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip (Ft. Lana Schwartz!) - Flight #65 | 27 Dec 2023 | 01:09:00 | |
What happens when you take the seriousness and rhetoric of the West Wing and make it about sketch comedy? A record-breaking successful pitch to TV networks! So why can't we find the show anywhere? What went wrong? We invite friend of the pod, author and comedian Lana Schwartz (New Yorker, Build Your Own Romantic-Comedy) to dissect the biggest swings and misses of a show that really everyone was banking on. We talk about the ubiquitous Sorkin writing style, the amazing cast, and the oodles of cash thrown around for what was sure to be the next hit. Hosts: Geoff Kerbis Rich Inman Lana Schwartz (find Lana's book here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/build-your-own-romantic-comedy-pick-your-plot-meet-your-man-and-direct-your-happily-ever-after-lana-schwartz/14300034?ean=9781646040056) Max Singer (unfortunately absent this week) | |||

What’s worse than driving at the intersection of Wilshire and Fairfax? FALLING THROUGH THE FRIGGEN EARTH AT WILSHIRE AND FAIRFAX MOST LIKELY.

Come join us for La Brea, a big ticket NBC drama involving time travel, green underworld lights, parallel dimensions and a BIG FREAKIN HOLE! Listen to us talk about how big this hole is! Hosts Geoff Kerbis “pretty big hole” Max Singer “one of the biggest holes I’ve ever seen” Rich Inman “top 5 holes in my book” | |||

Scandal is our next foray into the Shonda Rhimes universe and who better to lead us there than our Ambassador to Shondaland Korama Danquah (check her out on our Grey's Anatomy and Glee Episodes!)

We talk about turning Sunday morning cartoons into gritty TV shows, the legitimate theater, and why the entire town of Riverdale is so horny!! We also tackle the subjects you’ve been curious about like if implied twincest is ever okay in TV, psychotically-timed lesbian kisses and high schoolers with 2% body fat.
