The SHOW Show: with Sweets & Slaney

You might say we went off on even more tangents than usual this week. We got a little lost throughout. Perhaps this was done purposefully to subtly reflect the show that consumes most of the discussion. Perhaps that's a stretch. Regardless, we'd be hard-pressed to find two more different shows that have such a common thing as their setting. So, we tried to give them both a fair go. Tweet us your t...

Sure, we could have paired House with another doctor show - there's certainly enough of them. But why not pair it up with its source material, and also take on what's both current and one of the best visual interpretations of Doyle's character ever done? So, this week tackles Sherlock and Dr. Greg. Also, look out for the Cursed Child spoiler 22 minutes in! And as always, we have lots of side-chats...

Comedy teams are something you seem to see less and less of, and even in the case of Tina and Amy, they're not so much a team as they are friends who are funny together, so we like to think of them as a unit. Interestingly, this week's Show Show talks about how funny they both can be when working separately, through 30 Rock and Parks & Recreation. As always, there are lots of side-chats. Tweet us...

Taking the week to chat about a genre of television that somehow both everlasting and ever-changing. From Johnny to Jimmy, and every other late-night host in between, Sweets and Slaney chat about what the late night circuit has meant to them and how it continues to be chief in informing the contemporary social discussion. As always, there are lots of side-chats. Tweet us your thoughts to @showshow...

We made it to ten! Not checking any "classics" off the almighty list this week. Instead, we're taking a look at a couple of shows that the buzz of culture seems to be steering us toward!

With the first theatrical weekend of Star Trek: Beyond behind us, Sweets and Slaney delve into the two shows that made it happen. First, the original '66 Star Trek, and what a lot of Trekkies consider to be even better: The Next Generation. We understand this is sensitive canon to passionate fans, and don't pretend to be experts on the subject! Please feel free to tweet your fact-checks to @showsh...

No single show of focus this week! The nominations came out for televisions biggest honour - the glamorous Emmy Award! Sweets and Slaney go through the major categories and discuss their preferences and predictions.

Full disclosure, we had some technical difficulties with the recording of this episode! But we still got to chat about one of the big current TV crazes (Mr. Robot), and another spy show we missed last time (Alias). As usual, there are lots of side-stories! Plus, Slaney's late... wtf, Slaney...

This week's subjects include a sitcom that's become a yard-stick against which all other television comedies will be measured for the rest of time, and a show that (more than any other) could not have existed if not for the first. As usual, there are lots of side-stories, but with this episode in particular, we veer into a pretty personal chat about some current lifestyle struggles for l'il Sweets...

Spy shows are the theme for this week's episode! We're covering off opposite ends of the spectrum with FX's The Americans, and comedy classic, Get Smart. Naturally, we continue our chat about the 007 casting saga annnnd... as usual, there are lots of side-stories! Enjoy!

Orange is the New Black's fourth season premiered on Netflix last week and folks are already saying it's the best yet. But don't worry about season 4 spoilers! We taped this episode before it was released, and still managed to have a fun chat about how it compares to another (albeit much darker) prison show that was also a trailblazer in its television medium... As usual, there are lots of side-st...

We're back on weekly uploads, this time with a little modification. From now on, each Show Show will feature TWO popular television shows, often with great differences and similarities.

As usual, there are lots of side-sto...
