Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV

EEHG 104: Spreading Around The Holiday Cheer Eric A writes: lots of shows have done Christmas episodes. Friends did some great Thanksgiving episodes, and Roseanne was known for its Halloween episodes. Pitch an episode for a lesser-known or covered holiday. What show should do the episode, and how does it teach (or subvert) the message of the day?EEHG 112: Making Your Theme Park Mark Jim challenged us to turn a TV show into a theme park. The result is a real...roller coaster.EEHG 132: You Can't Spell "Travel" Without "TV" As The White Lotus transports us all to a luxury resort, we're thinking about vacations! We each share the TV location we'd most like to visit on holiday, and picking one or several TV characters to bring along for the trip.EEHG 170: Hallmarketing Irritation at a Hallmark Channel event called Loveuary led directly to this challenge, in which each of us creates one full year's worth of programming events for the venerated Hallmark Channel.

Nadia Chaudhury is back to beef up our panel's discussion of The Bear, Hulu's tense, swear-packed story of a young chef's return to Chicago to run his family's sandwich shop -- and how his fine-dining past collides with a blue-collar present. Is Jeremy Allen White giving us William Fichtner vibes as Carmy? Can Sarah get enough of Richie's profanity? Is the show really about Carmy's journey, or Sydney's? And did watching make us hungry, or worn out? Then we went Around The Dial with Loot, Ms. Marvel, and The Janes before Helen tried to trap us in the web of her New Girl Canon presentation. Werner Herzog won, Nathan Fillion lost, and we whipped off our sunglasses and dad-joked into the opening credits with a CSI-based Game Time.

Fill a dish with hard candies for Dave Chen, who's back after a long absence to talk about the somewhat mysterious appeal of FX's aging-spy-vs.-spy drama, The Old Man. Does Sarah think it needs more process-y bits? Does the excellent acting by Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, and their younger versions make up for long nobody-talks-like-that passages of abstraction? And are Dave and Carol the real heroes? Later, we went Around The Dial with Rutherford Falls, RHONJ, and Players before Tara tried to convert us to her team with a sixth-season Seinfeld. DB Cooper won, Canada lost, and then we all wedged ourselves into a snowglobe for a Game Time from Dan Cassino.

We're joined on the bridge this week by ATV Podcast's Andrew Cunningham, to talk about the latest addition to the Star Trek family, Paramount+'s Strange New Worlds: the benefits of procedural narrative, the Shatnerian properties of Anson Mount, and horny Spock. Then we transported ourselves Around The Dial with I Love That For You, Our Flag Means Death, and B-B-B-B-Bosch: Legacy, and listener Keira hoped to transport the lazily crappish series finale of The Good Wife into the EHG Nonac.

Our longtime Better Call Saul correspondent Will Leitch returns along with BCS to discuss the first episodes of the show's final season. Which moments made us think, "Ah yes, our show is back"? How have we revised our predictions on what happens to Kim Wexler? When and where will we see Walter White and Jesse Pinkman as the story comes to a close? And can we please get Lalo Babies to happen? After a quick gold-potty break, we went Around The Dial with Russian Doll, The First Lady, Just One Kiss, Severance, Winning Time, The Tournament (ACK!), and When Calls The Heart, before Mike S. asked us to assign aughts TV characters their own podcasts for Extra Credit. Will got real meta with his Canon presentation of the third-season Mr. Show finale, celebrity real estate won and Tyra lost, and we all had to reverse course for a Twin Peaks-ian Game Time.

Panel show aficionado Dan Cassino returns to discuss it. Around The Dial takes us through Minx, The Ultimatum, Beforeigners, Julia, and Atlanta.

Roxana Hadadi is back to talk about the latest minor Marvel superhero, Moon Knight, and whether an inconsistent premiere outweighs the charisma of Oscar Isaac in the lead role. Will TV's usual difficulty portraying gods apply to this series? Should Ethan Hawke's cult-leader subplot have gotten cut entirely? And is Dave a crackpot for thinking it's enough already with animated tattoos? After we went Around The Dial with Julia, How We Roll, Eye Candy, Tokyo Vice, 30 Rock, and The Andy Warhol Diaries, listener Laura prayed that we'd vote a second-season episode of The Righteous Gemstones into the Canon.

Hulu apparently felt that the Michelle Carter "texting suicide" case hadn't been sufficiently covered by a Lifetime movie and a multi-hour documentary, so now its latest scripted true crime series, The Girl From Plainville, is taking its turn; Stephanie Early Green returns to discuss it.

Brittany Luse took a break from co-hosting FCN and HBO Docs Club to talk about FOX's newest silly-competition reality show, Domino Masters -- and we all found lots of reasons you should probably just watch "topples" on YouTube instead, including weak chemistry, weaker jokes, frustrating lack of camera coverage, and drama that doesn't come from the craft. Oh, and: it's about 38 minutes too long. We did better going Around The Dial with Winning Time, Survivor, select Euphoria episodes, Top Chef: Houston, and Fast Foodies, and then Tara drove us around New Jersey for awhile with her Ramy Canon presentation.

Two Cents Plus Tax co-host Krystal Farmer came by to talk about The Endgame, an overstuffed and underwhelming procedural that tries to do too much and is assembled from the spare parts of too many early-aughts shows. Why do networks still make shows like this? Do we need The Endgame if we still (seriously!) have The Blacklist? And how is Fedorova writing on the sticky side of Post-Its? We fared better going Around The Dial with Severance, a Married At First Sight update, Creamerie, Inventing Anna, Inside The Mind Of A Con Artist, 9-1-1: Lone Star, and Reacher, and gave TV characters (and hosts) some drugs for Extra Credit.

With so much TV either taken up by the Olympics or getting out of their way, we took our own stab at counter-programming: for our last episode before Valentine's Day, we're each forcening each other to watch a TV episode with "love" somewhere in its title.

Resident Amazing Race expert Jessica returns to the guest chair to talk about the legendary reality show's unique thirty-third season: how it handled an 18-month interruption, whether we expect more from its production than we do from other shows, the true-crime connection that's somehow charming, and whom we expect to win. We went Around The Dial with the new Joe Millionaire, Married At First Sight, Letterkenny, Yellowjackets, and 9-1-1: Lone Star before celebrating a Tiny Triumph for Tara going back to March of 2021. Greg L. asked us to Pop Culture Veto TV properties before we went Down Under for Jessica's Canon submission from The Letdown's first season. History won, gas lost, and we boarded a rollercoaster of series highs and lows for Game Time.

So...the original plan was to watch the 1979 miniseries Backstairs At The White House -- even though, at nine hours, it's longer than some actual series are these days. Then Dave and Tara got less than half an hour into it and pulled the plug. Dan -- who did watch it -- tells us what we missed, but then we just roll on past that to a trio of Non-Regulation Game Times! Who knows the most about TV actors who share names with U.S. presidents, and about original songs from TV episodes, AND about reunion movies made years after the series that spawned them went off the air?

EEHG 097: Extra Hic Great We challenged our listeners to get us to 1000 Patreon supporters by December 15, and they went above and beyond. Your reward? This drunk episode. Author, screenwriter, and sake enthusiast Pamela Ribon joins us as we discuss Bridgerton, the first Shonda Rhimes show to hit Netflix. Which of us found its 1813 society romances compelling? The answer won't surprise you! Around The Dial takes us through How To With John Wilson, the feature film We Are Little Zombies (available to buy or rent on all the platforms), NBC's revival of The Weakest Link, and Taskmaster NZ. A WILDLY compromised Dave pitches the Peep Show episode "Shrooming" for induction into the Canon; then after Dave crowns the episode's Winner and Loser based on who's most drunk, it's on to the most shambolic Game Time ever.

Being The Ricardos, Aaron Sorkin's latest project as a big-screen writer-director is...also very much a small-screen project, so we are claiming it. Look, it's about TV (specifically, the stars and making of I Love Lucy) and it's kind of on TV (members can stream it for free on Amazon Prime Video), so IT COUNTS. Anyway: joining us for the discussion is actual film critic Tim Grierson! Around The Dial takes us through film-to-TV adaptation Finding Magic Mike; TV-to-film-back-to-TV adaptation MacGruber; Insecure; How To With John Wilson; Dead Asleep; and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. John Potts asks us to choose a TV getaway for our next imaginary holiday. Ilan brings us back to the TV-to-movie pipeline with a Canon presentation on The Simpsons episode "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie."

Novelists and Go Fug Yourself editors Heather and Jessica are back to talk about the Sex & The City...update? reboot? whatever you call it, you can also call it And Just Like That. And you can ALSO call it "tone-deaf," "cringey," and "a clumsy character assassination," as the legendary HBO sit-rom-com returns with a bunch of new characters, and one very notable absence. Is there anything to relate to here? Does the show, as it used to, still do a couple of things extremely well while being exhausting the rest of the time? And couldn't they just have given Samantha COVID? Later, Dan Cassino was NOT a crackpot for suggesting that many Netflix properties would benefit from a faster watch speed, and then we went Around The Dial with Love Life, Live In Front Of A Studio Audience, The Big Leap, The Monkees, and Call My Agent!. Listener Laura hoped there wouldn't be "Bad Blood" between her and the panel when she submitted yet another X-Files ep for the Canon.

Returning guest Dave Roth got on the couch with us for The Shrink Next Door, the Apple TV adaptation of the Wondery podcast of the same name. We discussed the pacing, whether the show needed more jokes and less attention to production-design details, and the very obviously not New York light on the outdoor sets. Did true-crime "expert" Buntsy feel differently from the rest of the panel? Later, we went Around The Dial with Yellowjackets, SNL, Evil, and The Curse Of Von Dutch before popping on our fezzes for a Lodge 49 Canon submission from Lisa.

We knew Cyd, like Tara and Dave, had just done a rewatch of the original-flavor C.S.I., so we were really glad she could join us to break down CBS's new reboot of its network-changing old favorite (which...only went off the air like six years ago?). We talked about whether we'll keep watching for "The New Class" after l'affaire Hodges gets resolved, when exactly the show thinks it is culturally, and what's going on with the sloppy editing. Then we went Around The Dial with Call The Midwife, Legends Of The Hidden Temple, grief-therapy sitcom recs, and Buried (with another Lauer rant from Buntsy) before Cyd was NOT a crackpot about shows using consultants on "hacker" and other internetty storylines. Chris Billig tried to get all our exercise balls up the hill in support of his Taskmaster Canon submission before Mlle.

We're so grateful Nick Rheinwald-Jones jumped through a green Jurassic vagina with us to watch La Brea, NBC's latest attempt at a sci-fi dystopia -- but this one involves a sinkhole in "Los Angeles," were-dogs, and Jon Seda. Should you watch the pilot just for the dumb crappy fun of it all? Or is it too stuck in that 2006 "we can be the next Lost" mindset to be enjoyable? We definitely enjoyed going Around The Dial with Controlling Britney Spears, The Big Leap, Being James Bond, Tea With The Dames, Teen Mom: Young & Pregnant, and Squid Game, and in related news, Dave was not a crackpot about flashbacks to events in the same episode. David Ellis Dickerson challenged us to pick a show bible a la the Star Trek: TOS episode "A Piece of the Action," and base an entire future society on it, and then Nick challenged our conceptions about second episodes of series when he pitched Episode 02 of Succession for the Canon.

Joe presents the Girls5Eva episode "Cease And Desist" for induction into The Canon. Then we name the week's Winner and Loser, and head straight into a Game Time that gets a little romantic.

Kamille Washington of the Unfriendly Black Hotties podcast is back to discuss Mr. Corman, a (possibly too) slow-building show about a musician turned grade-school teacher/anxiety sufferer and his angst. Did star/producer/crafty coordinator Joseph Gordon-Levitt take on too many jobs -- and not enough fresh story? Why couldn't the show be about Arturo Castro's character? And can we look forward to a Debra Wingeraissance? We went Around The Dial with First Wives Club's second season, FBoy Island, Real Housewives Of Potomac, CNBC crime shows, and UFO; then Courtney and Craig asked us which TV characters are the most likely to vape obnoxiously (and none of us had any trouble answering). We conferred on whether a New Girl episode was adorkable enough for the Canon, then declared a Winner and a Loser of the week before finding out whether a superpowered Game Time was our kryptonite.

The talented EHG Assist team tasked the panel -- plus returning guest Jeff Drake! -- with talking about shows and episodes that shouldn't have worked, but somehow did. We began our theme episode with the late-'70s satire Soap. Do the problematic parts justify the hilarity around them? Is some of the bad acting and slow pacing an homage of sorts to daytime dramas? Should you (re-)watch, or just find a supercut of all the previouslies and next-ons? Later, we went Around The Dial with The Circle, Nailed It!, Pop-Up Video, and Battle Of The Network Stars, before a complete 180 in tone brought us to a Canon submission from 2020's Normal People. AppleTV+ both won AND lost, and then we all updated our quiz résumés for Game Time.

When schedulers at the Food Network foiled our original plans for this episode, our returning guest Will Ellis rolled with the punches and joined us to talk about Netflix's bizarre new dating show, Sexy Beasts! Around The Dial takes us through the new season of Married At First Sight, The Real Housewives Of Potomac, Married To Medicine, and Search Party. Last week's guest Sean Pflueger returns...via an Extra Credit question about actors whose range we underestimated. Will presents the RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars: Untucked episode "It Takes Two" for submission to The Canon. Then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, we roar and scratch our way through a Non-Regulation Game Time.
