For the flatulent robot child, I would have gone with Small Winder.

Great game, but how on earth was The Regal Beagle left out??

Seems like there were a lot of important conversations in the bathrooms in Girls.

Oops, sorry, replied to the wrong thread. But yeah, teens going straight to sex is weird. Adults, less so.

Did anyone watch Marvel's Runaways? I really liked the first season, but when Gert and Chase hook up (granted, in a moment when they thought the world was about to end), I was shocked when they maybe had sex immediately? I mean, this is a semi-nerdy high school kid making first contact with her long-time crush, and what, they fuck? Still shaking my head at that one.

Is Ellen Madison from unREAL? I know that would mean she hadn’t aged in 20 years, but wow is it close.

You need to watch "A Face in the Crowd." A uncomfortably prescient take on how TV would enable grossly unqualified demagogues to become political forces. Griffith is really good at being really bad. LOVE that movie! Haven't thought about it in years, but you're right on about the uncomfortable modern echoes.

Pretty sure the past award for a Grossworth Equalizer Challenge sweep was double points.

So, clearly late to the party, but: Am I the only one who sees a startling resemblance between Parker Lewis and Jared Kushner? Just me. Okey dokey.

Not sure if I commented here or only in my head, but back when Kelly chose herself, I could have sworn she was walking on the beach, and was confused why I was so off on the visual. But here she is, choosing herself again, on the beach. And since I had stopped watching this train wreck long before this point, I hereby forgive myself for conflating the two episodes.

FWIW, I sobbed through the Better Things clips, just like I did the first time I watched it. Tara, I think you were victim to a poorly-timed gender imbalance on your panel.

Not a surprise that Alan was good at that game, but damn Alan was good at that game.

Yaaaaay!

Fearless leaders, I am also enjoying the podcast, but I wonder if you could add a brief episode summary near the top of each podcast for those of us who are not watching along, and who maybe only watched the whole series through once? Thanks for considering.

Did you guys read that letter? It's the same six sentences repeated over and over to fill space!
