Picture it: you've been in prison for 25 years. You finally get out and you find out you're being relocated from New York City to Tulsa! Would you be excited? I think we would be! We're definitely excited for today's episode where we watched and discuss a pilot neither one of us had ever seen, Tulsa King. Dwight Manfredi, played by the legendary Sylvester Stallone, is a fish out of water as he tries to set up a new life in the American Midwest. Along with the pilot we discuss our favorite gangster/mafia movies and TV shows as well as sharing stories about meeting/dating people who weren't what they seemed. Come take a listen!…

We're starting March off with a show that we both love and a show that stresses us both out. When Ozark premiered on Netflix, it was unlike any other show that was on at the time and that's what kept us watching. As one of the most watched series on Netflix, Ozark has remained in the zeitgeist as one of the best TV dramas of the 21st century. Along with the pilot, we talk about family vacations, places we'd relocate to, and of course, Jeff tells another story where he got in trouble on a family trip. Come take a listen!…

Can you believe February is already over? We had this a blast this month. We're closing out Short Lived TV Show Month with one of the most popular and beloved one season shows of all time... Firefly. A show neither one of us had ever seen and only one of us had ever heard of it. Set 500 years in the future, we follow a rag tag group of rebels traveling through space trying to make money and dodge the law. Along with the pilot, we talk about some of our other favorite short-lived shows that didn't make the cut, our dream jobs, and what you can expect in March! Come take a listen!…

Ep. 74 - Higher Ground 1:03:16

1:03:16

Continuing our month of short-lived shows, we have another gem from Jeff's youth that he couldn't wait to share with everyone. Jeff first watched this show when he was 15 and full of teen angst which made him a perfect fit for this millennial teen drama, Higher Ground. Originally airing back in 2000, the show delves into the troubled lives of a group of teens at a "rehab high school". Perhaps best known for starring a pre-Anakin Hayden Christensen and a pre-FBI agent A.J. Cook, Higher Ground tackled subjects that other high school schools were too afraid of and showed the dark side of being a teenager. Along with the pilot, Jeff talks about his history with this show and we both tell stories of times we got lost.…

Ep. 73 - Rags to Riches 1:05:38

Definitely one of our lesser known shows, Rags to Riches was a short-lived series that introduced many of us to the "jukebox musical". Launching the careers of future TV stars such as Tisha Campbell and Heather McAdam, Rags to Riches is an underrated gem chock-full of charm and feel good vibes. We discuss the pilot but Jeff dives in on his history with this show, how it followed him around throughout his youth, we also continue our discussion of our favorite musicals, overrated musicals, and ones we haven't seen but want to. Come take a listen!…

Ep. 72 - The Get Down 1:00:54

منذ 22 يومًا1:00:54

1:00:54

We are celebrating love and music today with a short-lived show that made a big impact on both of us! The Get Down has become a modern-day cult classic and we understand why. Set in the South Bronx in the late 70's, the show's set design, costumes, great cast, great writing, and of course, great music had us hooked! We kept things pretty light this episode but we had a blast talking about our love of disco, hip hop, and punk rock. We talk about our favorite soundtracks of all time and Jeff tells a little story about how he went out of his way to impress a girl. Come take a listen!…

Ep. 71 - Togetherness 1:02:49

We're continuing this month's theme of "Short-Lived TV Shows" with another hidden gem. Togetherness aired on HBO during the height of other popular shows like Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, Veep, and Girls and simply fell through the cracks. Created by The Duplass Brothers (also New Orleans natives), this show is all about relationships, family, and friendship. Along with the pilot, we discuss our "red flags", times we had unexpected roommates, and we tell stories of going to the beach. And of course, Jeff tells a story of a family trip to the beach where he got in trouble with "the law". This is a fun one so you don't want to miss it. Come take a listen!…

Ep. 70 - Watchmen 1:03:44

Graphic novel. Feature film. Now, a series. Watchmen is regarded as one of the most unique superhero stories remembered most for its dark tones and one of a kind characters. Along with the pilot, we discuss our favorite comic books/movies/tv shows as well as stories where we had run-in's with the law. Come take a listen!…

Angst. Hair dye. Plaid. Jared Leto. These are some of the things we think of when we think about our first show this month: My So-Called Life. To refer to this show as a cult classic feels like an understatement. This show is more like THE cult classic when it comes to 90s TV and it fits our theme of "Short-Lived TV Shows" to a tee. Regardless of what decade you were a teenager, My So-Called Life brings us all back to that era of our lives where we were full of self-doubt, angst, and all we wanted was to stand out. Along with the pilot, we talk about what we were like as teens and much more. Come take a listen!…

It's never too late to start over and find your own happiness. Do you agree with that? Well, I'm not sure the titular characters of Grace and Frankie would agree, at least not in the pilot episode. We watched the pilot for a show neither one of us have ever seen but we certainly knew the cast because it's full of legends! Iconic comedic duo Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin star in this charming comedy series about finding yourself in your 70s. Along with the pilot, we talk about times we witnessed public breakups, our favorite comedic duos, and much more! Come take a listen!…

How far would you go to protect your loved ones? That's a question you may find asking yourself while watching Ginny and Georgia. We're continuing Fresh Start January with this Netflix original that centers around a young mother and her teenage daughter, a premise we've heard before but this one's a little different. A long with the pilot, we discuss times we stood up for ourselves, times our parents stood up for us, and where we got our names. This is a fun one so you don't want to miss it!…

Ep. 66 - Happy Endings 1:09:29

1:09:29

This is a show that is very special to us because it's the first show that became "our show". Jeff introduced this series to Anna when they first met and we both fell in love with it. Happy Endings may seem like just another "friend group series" but for us, it's so much more. Along with the pilot, we discuss our love for this show but mostly we share our most embarrassing breakup stories. You don't want to miss this because it's a good one! Come take a listen!…

Ep. 65 - Emily in Paris 1:01:49

If you were moving to a foreign country, wouldn't you at least try to learn the native language? This is a question that often comes up with the show we are judging today which is the Netflix hit series, Emily in Paris. Emily Cooper is your average quirky protagonist that has been offered a last minute job working in Paris forcing her to leave behind her old life and boyfriend. As the show progresses, many fans began to dislike Emily, something we weren't aware of, so this inspired Jeff to make a list of the most frequently ranked "Most Unlikable TV Protagonists" and we give our opinion on the matter. We also tell our own stories of being a fish out of water in a foreign country and how we dealt with it. This is a fun episode so stop reading this summary and take a listen!…

Easily one of the most iconic sitcoms of the 90s, possibly the most recognizable theme song ever, and also known for launching the career of one of the highest paid actors of all time... of course, we're talking about The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air! Jeff talks about why this is one of his all-time favorite shows, we discuss why we think this show had such a huge impact on pop culture as well as time we experienced culture shock, and much more!

Would you work in a remote town for 4 years if it meant your entire schooling would be paid for? That's the obstacle Joel faces in a show we'd never seen before, Northern Exposure. This charming and somewhat eccentric 90's gem left us thinking about our trip to Alaska, some more crazy work stories, and much more! Come take a listen!…
