Onesies

Emily and Andrew tag along when an Ocean's 11-esque crew hits Central City to relieve the museum of its latest exquisite exhibition. Little do these thieves know the Flash has taken an interest (Emily and Andrew, of course, know because they're watching the show). Tune in to hear our intrepid hosts discuss the continued "complementary" sexism, the shocking lack of inappropriate u...

Episode guest stars Dick Miller and Helen Martin make their ONESIES first apperances, and our intrepid hosts, Emily and Andrew, find out they each have been making the exact same assumptions about the opposite guest stars. Very confusing. Our hosts also get to discuss women supporting each other (or not) tropes, special effects, acting choices (or the lack thereof), and much more!

Intrepid hosts Emily and Andrew head back to late 20th century mainstream (as presented on primetime television) social mores regarding unhoused people and discover... things haven't gotten much better. They also get to discuss (single) women as men's property, practical special effects, power sets, and much more!

Emily and Andrew head off to Central City to catch up with THE FLASH, with Emily not realizing how long a 94 minute pilot movie with a bunch of superpowered fisticuffs in the third act goes on. And on. And on. Listen as our hosts discuss... aged (or not aged) actors, inappropriately aged girlfriends, the post-9PM broadcast "intimacy" scenes, special effects, and much more! Much of the di...

Emily and Andrew reach the end of MAXIMUM BOB, which goes back to the pilot continuity where Beau Bridges is a sexual predator. After a whole season trying to get away from it. Presumably the shows creatives wanted to make sure our intrepid hosts wouldn't be getting out of the series without some additional chatter. Tune in and hear what's coming up next season on ONESIES, too! NOT ABC THI...

With one episode of MAXIMUM BOB to go, Andrew accuses Emily of only selecting the show because she--like all the female characters on the show this episode attest--think it's hot when gross men wax on about taking away their rights. Sadly, Emily doesn't take the accusation seriously (and Andrew forgets to compare those characterizations to the film of Early 1940s Germany, which also had th...

Another week, another episode where Emily and Andrew determine this MAXIMUM BOB is technically the best one of the series. Even as character relationships change to fit the situation and there's a lot of "yikes," they don't hurt the dog and there's at least some positive character development for the guest stars. Join our intrepid hosts for their continued unenthuastic but te...

As they pass the halfway point in MAXIMUM BOB, one might think our intrepid hosts, Emily and Andrew, would be prepared for this episode. Certainly there can only be so far BOB can take it, only so many barrel bottoms for it to scrap. However, this episode (of BOB) may technically be the best yet! Tune in and hear why!

Thanks to some creative changes, Emily and Andrew get to enjoy a "better" episode of MAXIMUM BOB, with guest stars (on BOB not ONESIES) Miguel Sandoval and Lee Garlington bringing some much needed better acting to the program. But there's still lots to talk about as the show tries to retcon out the grossier elements from... two episodes (and one episode) ago. Join our intrepid hosts...

Emily and Andrew head back to Deep Water, Florida (along with some Miami interlude) for episode 2 of MAXIMUM BOB, which does indeed involve a (living) white woman trying to force a dead Black girl's ghost into her body so that actual child can lose her virginity to a gentleman of the living white woman's choosing. They don't actually have the scenes talking about it because the girl&#3...

From the producers of WILD WILD WEST comes MAXIMUM BOB, Emily and Andrew's latest trek into ABC dreck, this time after they were bought out by the Mouse House. So the racism, sexism, and classism are all Mickey-approved. Beau (Jeff's agent didn't even respond) Bridges stars as an average Republican judge who wants to execute his way into the governor's mansion. Other people are in...

Andrew and Emily complete the arduous task of watching THREE'S A CROWD, discovering the series's last ditch attempt at renewal--which involves giving Mary Cadorette material again (sort of)--almost makes for a tolerable sitcom. Of course, there's also some terrible material to talk about, but it's offset by the show realizing Vicki can do things! On screen even! Plus, Jessica Walte...

Emily and Andrew have reached the penultimate ONESIES of the season and "Three's a Crowd" does not disappoint. Between Jack and Mr. Bradford's bonding episode and then Jack getting addicted to culinary fame, there's plenty for our hosts to discuss as Vicki (Mary Cadorette) "returns" to series promenance but only with bad material, and--of course--Jessica Walter has...

Emily finally gets the Richard (LARRY) Kline guest spot she was waiting for and it's a loathsome affair. Our intrepid hosts sort their way through it all, including first getting to talk about another Jack sucking up to Mr. Bradford episode, but, hey, at least Jessica Walter shows up (to give awful advice while looking fabulous) and there are sets to talk about.

Well, Andrew forgot what the episodes he and Emily discussed were about until he was gathering cover art and then it all came back. Buckle up for another fun episode where our hosts discuss sororities, surfer girls, lying to your girlfriend, more lying to your girlfriend, getting mad at your girlfriend for being smarter than you, even more lying to your girlfriend, and hijinks. It's a slog, wi...

Officially passed the halfway point (the point of no return?), intrepid hosts Emily and Andrew discover THREE'S A CROWD still has some surprises in store--like how little the show can give second-billed Mary Cadorette. They also get to discuss some undeniably amusing physical comedy, how nice it is when Robert Mandan isn't in an episode, how much they miss Jessica Walter, and so much more!

Well, dear listeners, a very unexpected day has arrived. Our intrepid hosts, Emily and Andrew, have been very obviously kidnapped and replaced by pod people who report laughing at least once. "Andrew" even says nice things about John Ritter's acting. "Emily" thinks Robert Mandan has a good physical comedy beat. What other fantastic statements do these "hosts" make...

Andrew and Emily would like to welcome you to their comedy podcast, in which they discuss mostly bad television shows. However, for this very special episode--thanks to Emmy award winner David Mirkin and the cast and crew of THREE'S A CROWD--they get to start with a trigger warning and get into a sociological examination of popular television as it represents and instructs its conextual cultur...

Well, Andrew successfully remembered to title the episode one of the yuck factor moments he and Emily actually didn't talk about. Because there are limits to what kind of Azathothian demon gods talking about it would conjure. Instead, they talk about the show being bad, predictable, sometimes almost funny (do they this week?--Andrew does not remember this important detail), and the show enteri...

Well, Emily and Andrew get to talk about Jack and Vicky's sex life for an hour, which lacks pleasentness. In the first half of the bewildering in-sequence two-parter, everyone thinks Jack's cheating; he's really [spoiler]. At least Jessica Walter shows up for a scene. The second episode's about Jack and Vicky relying on their lusty attraction to get through relationship problems. J...

Thanks to how THREE'S A CROWD handles guest star Jessica Walter, Emily and Andrew get to talk about some of their favorite subjects--ageism in relation to female actors in Hollywood, women not talking to women in media--amidst their discussion of subplotless plotting, actually laughing, good physical comedy, and Emily refusing to wait for a slip in the boxers.

Emily and Andrew find themselves in sunny (presumably) California where they find John Ritter, recently promoted from one in a trio on THREE'S COMPANY to... one in a trio on THREE'S A CROWD. But don't worry, instead of his platonic female roommates coddling his ego, it's now his suffering girlfriend. Our intrepid hosts find much to discuss and a fair amount to... compliment? Not to...

For your listening pleasure, our intrepid hosts have paired the final two episodes of HIGH SOCIETY for review. Listen as they discuss the one where there's a bad pregnancy thing, and the one where there's a bad episode about being horny for Tom Arnold. Yikes on bikes. Though you do get to listen to Emily and Andrew disagree about who it's grosser being horny for, Tom Arnold or Barry Bo...

The delightful Doris Roberts and Paul Dooley guest star as terrible human beings from the flyover states. Listen as hosts Emily and Andrew try to negotiate the various levels of grossness--who want to watch Mama Barone rank the races--before getting the absurdist, misogynist body-shaming of the nineties. Joy.

You'd think the low point of the episode--of HIGH SOCIETY, not ONESIES, as our intrepid hosts earn their "pay" this outing--would be special guest star Erik Estrada debasing himself but no, it somehow continues to get worse as it goes along. Discovering SOCIETY has still further paucities to discover, so close to the finish, leaves hosts Emily and Andrew beside themselves. Makes for...
