[music] Hello there, and welcome to TV guidance counselor with your host, Sean Sullivan. That's right, it's me, I'm back. I'm the TV guidance counselor this week on the special one-year anniversary episode. If you're not familiar with the show, it's a thing that I created by myself. And I gave the idea to Ken, and he launched it into a career that's let him meet so many famous people, and will continue to let him meet kind of famous people, and people that he thinks are famous, and that I've never heard of. And then I just politely say, "Yeah, that's great!" We decided to do this special episode where I will host the show, and we will look at the current week of television. What's that time traveler's? Put down your time machine, because we're staying in the present. Ken and myself tracked down an issue of the current week's TV guide, and Ken went through and picked out what he would watch, and then we discussed it in a conversation that I hope you'll find amusing. So here it is, ladies and gentlemen, my first ever episode of TV guidance counselor with my guest, Ken Reed. Mr. Ken Reed, Ken Reed, how are you? How are you? Welcome to your house. Thanks for having me at my house. Do you want to point out any of the things that you own? No, I'm my dog who just came in. Pete's here. Pete's here. Special guests. Yeah. I thank you for risking life in London. Yeah. It's always a pleasure to come up here in the middle of the 18th Blizzard of the season. This is a brutal, brutal winter. Yeah. Which I mean, we'd make good for if we were watching television, but... Yeah, I actually don't mind it that much as long as we have power, and we've been lucky thus far. Yeah. It's kind of nice if you have power. Yeah. Trapped inside. Yeah. It's just like, yeah. I don't mind it. It's like leveling. Because I have Bluetooth headphones, and they're like earmuffs, and I go out. And I'm just like, yeah, I'll go out and shovel. Well, you have two kids, and it's probably a good way to get away from them. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, eventually I'll just send them out. Yeah. I think that's why. I feel like less of a man, because I'm not very handy around the house, and like my neighbor was on the roof today, shoveling snow off his roof. But I realized that it's probably because I don't have children and that guys who have children learn how to do things around their house so they can go in the roof and be alone. Yeah. I mean, that guy also was going like, he's goddamn kids. I don't have the disposable income right now to fix my roof. Yeah. So I have to do it myself? Yeah. Yeah, that's probably true. And then, and also, if you don't have kids, you lose roof leaks. Who cares? Yeah. Who's going to drown? Yeah. Relax. Relax about the roof. But I know that you would have kids so that they could get on the roof. That's a bet. Yeah. But right now my kids are a little small to send up on the roof. Get more chimney sweeps. Size. Yeah, we send them in the flu. Yeah. We go up there. Yeah. I have five feet of snow around my house. So the thing that I fall off the roof, it's going to be fine. Yeah. They're not going to go anywhere. So we are looking today at an issue where actually this is-- Today's issue of Monday, February 16th is the start of this week. 2015, we should mention it. Yes. Yeah. We're going when we're breaking format in more ways than just me hosting. Yes. We're looking at the current week of television, Ken, has gone through the TV guide. I have. Much like, I believe-- I think the only episode I've listened to was someone could have known less about what they were looking at is Alex Edelman looking at the TV guide from the 70s. Oh, he had no idea what was going on. Yeah. Yeah. So I feel like you also probably didn't have a whole lot of ideas in terms of looking at lineups. You know, I didn't think I would. I had more than I thought I would. So I do watch some modern shows, but I realize that it's mostly reality shows. Yeah. Well, that's all that's on, really. The weird thing is that the way I watch new TV now is so different because I use the DVR. So I only DVR stuff that I want to-- like, I want to not actively watch. Yeah. Like, background stuff while I'm eating shows. So it's like, pond stars and stuff like that. Yeah. But there are very few like, like, serialized or like sitting in the wall. Well, that's the other big difference now between this issue of TV guide and all the other episodes that you've done is, I think, most shows are serialized now. I feel like they're swinging back the other way, though, a bit. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. I can't think of a show that I just drop in on. I mean, other than like, anything that's on CBS, I feel like if it's on CBS, I wouldn't watch it anyway. And that's all like the CSI type shows and that's what it is. Yeah. NCIS, anything that you could watch a marathon on. Right. It's totally interchangeable. Yeah. Once it hits you syndication on USA, you can just sit and watch 7 in a row. You have no idea what's out. Your day is gone. You don't know where your family is. I only like doing that on a plane. Like there are shows that I only watch on a plane, like American Pickers. I will watch 12 episodes of that in a row. On a plane? On a plane. I feel like no watching. Well, he shows that I've ever seen on a plane. I mean, unless you're flying JetBlue. Which I do. I mean, if you fly like Delta, everything, it's always those garbage CBS shows. Oh, yeah. And because they have contracts with them. Yeah. But it's like, no other network is like, yeah, we really need to pitch these shows that hard to people. Yeah. So that like you can just watch an episode of Two Broke Girls and you could figure out what's going on just from the title sequence. That's on my list here. Two Broke Girls. Two Broke Girls. Is that what you're picking up at number eight? No. So on Monday, the first Monday, so this is two weeks we should say. Yeah. Let's talk about the differences first between the TV guide of today and the TV guide of every other episode. So a couple of things that happened to TV Guide in the early 2000s is that one, it's split into three companies. So it's split into TV Guide, the magazine, TV Guide.com, and the TV Guide channel, which are actually three independent companies. Okay. So the TV Guide magazine now is sort of a weird entertainment weekly ripoff and it has listings in it, but they seem kind of just like, like an afterthought. It's literally what's on, I mean, you get more information about what's on TV reading entertainment weekly. Oh, yeah. There's no synopsis really. No. Like one or two shows and also it's one of the things that I love about old TV Guide is this very specific local nature of the editions. Yeah. No, this is just flat out. This is flat out. There's no local channels because one of the things I walked frequently, if I'm watching like current over the air TV, is me TV, which shows all old shows or antenna TV or retro. And those aren't on here because those are actually all local stations. Yeah. No, this is just, this is, this is, this is, it doesn't even go deep cable either. No. No, it's not all channels. No. It's basic cable. That's basically what the extent of it is. But I was unaware because I did, I went, as I was getting ready for this, I went to TV Guide.com to try and find information about the magazine. It's not there. And it's not there at all. Yeah. And then TV Guide channel is just relaunched as pop. Yeah. And I only know that because I recorded Shit's Creek. Which is also on my list. Is that, yeah. Okay, we'll talk about that. Yeah. I watched that. All right. So we're going. TV Guide channel used to have weird reality shows like that one with Wilson Phillips. But it also used to just scroll, it just scrolled what was on. It just scrolled what was on. And then the show would be on. And then it still would be on. Yeah. And then it now it's just the shows. Yeah. Because nobody needs it. Like I was looking through this. This is the most irrelevant magazine. Who needs this? Nobody. Nobody needs this. Nobody needs this. Nobody needs this. And the TV Guide would not care what they were watching enough to know what they were watching. Like they're the kind of people just sit down and whatever's on there just sitting there. No, they're the people that they have the little box that you had to get when the government switched over how yes TV goes and they have the five channels. And then they go they have the five channels and then they have the point ones on each of those channels. Right. Would she get some interesting stuff on? Yeah. But I don't think. Shut up. Petey's got his toy. You mother. It's fine. Pete is also humongous. Everybody says that they show over and they're like I thought he was a little dog and he's the big guy. Yeah. Hi. He's going to kill me. He's just humping Sean. Can you say hi Pete? Down. Pete. Say hi. I'm not. I know he's really pretty quiet. This guy. Yeah, he sheds like a mother. That's all right. Yeah. Okay. Go away. Okay. So we're looking. We're starting. And the other thing is the TV Guide now goes Monday to Sunday. Right. Which really bothered me. Yeah. You lose some of the magic. I don't. Well, yeah. Wow. Explain that. Well, because I feel like when it started on a Saturday, you have a whole day of television. Okay. You could, you could say this is Saturday. This day is dedicated to television. So you could look for the entire day. You could start dawn to dusk. We should also mention that it's only each night, except for Sunday, each night starts at 8 p.m. Yeah. It's an endless prime time. So it's basically 8 to 11. And it's, again, showing how irrelevant it is because you don't, who's like, I just want to know what's on for these three hours on some channels. Yeah. No. It doesn't make any sense. It used to be all the time. They don't listen to movies and what's on. Nothing. They don't review the movies. It does not have the depth that it once had. But I also think that it doesn't, there's no need for that now. No. Because of the internet. Yeah. Because of the guide on your cable lock. It's almost like an old person who has an email address, but has their grandson print out all the letters and then put them in envelopes and physically bring them to them. That's who this is for. Print out the internet for me and then I'll know what's on. It was awesome. I had it. I had a tough time finding an actual issue of TV guide. Yeah. Not as ubiquitous, like it's not at the supermarket checkout. No. It used to be. I remember it used to be up at the counter. It was the most printed magazine in the world. Yeah. No, I can't. I would love to hear the numbers of who subscribes. It's got to be low. I was getting a free subscription forever and I don't even know how I got that. It would just show up in my house. Yeah. I have no idea. They just mail it to people. I had to go to Barnes and Noble to get it. Yeah. Well, you can buy every single magazine ever. So they have to have it. They have to have it and also an outdated place. For people who don't have the internet, they would go to Barnes and Noble. So that was interesting. And then did you, when you looked at supermarket checkouts, did you notice what has replaced TV guide? Well, I mean, the farmer's almanac is always there. That's always there. I want to say, I want to say readers digest. Readers digest. Archie. That's it. That's it for digest size. Archie. Archie. Archie's. I see those Archie digests at every single supermarket. Really? Sometimes that'll be the only thing at the counter. And that's just a collection of Archie comics. Yeah. I'm like, who's buying this? Because kids don't read Archie. No. Like, what adult has an impulse buy for a digest of Archie to read on the toilet? Yeah. Anything that wants that much Archie has all of that Archie already. I feel like that's some sort of weird sting, when someone grabs that, that's like a tracker in there. Yeah. And they'll just go on some watch list. Yeah. Yeah. It's not an impressive magazine. And you look at some of the stories in here and some of the articles. They have the depth of an entertainment weekly in that they basically are just, they might as well be press releases. They are just press releases. Do I come and paste Wikipedia articles? Whatever they want to talk about, the cover of this episode is how comic books have taken over television. And it's one of the guys from Walking Dead, I think, which is a show that people will be surprised to hear. I've never seen. Oh, yeah. No, I wouldn't be surprised. I would be surprised if you've seen anything that was on this list. Yeah. Some of the stuff I have, some of it I haven't. A lot of shows I'll check out like one episode and then not go back. Yeah. But Walking Dead, I love the comics and I read them and then I was just not interested in the show. Yeah. Walking Dead, I come and go. I mean, we can talk about it on when we get to Sunday, but yeah, it is what it is. All right. Let's jump into it so we can stop fun. I'm not as good a host at this. Sean's very good. All right. And I like that Firestorm is mentioned in the issue, which is fantastic. Yes. Drunk. Pete is out of his mind. He's red on bottles. So Monday at eight o'clock. What did you go with? I went with Drunk History. Okay. On Comedy Central. On Comedy Central. It's an hour of Drunk History. I think I've seen one or two episodes. I've found them amusing. Yeah. Yeah. It's a fun show. No, no, here's the interesting thing. No. Now, am I you? Because I feel like you know about Drunk History. I do know about Drunk History, but although I didn't, I didn't see any of the web versions or anything like that. Oh, see, I've known about it since. Well, I've known about these two guys. The main guy, Derek, I can't remember his last name because you follow current comedy. Yeah. Derek. I want to say Sheen. He and Simon Helberg, who's on the Big Bang Theory. Okay, which I also have only seen one episode. The two of them were a comedy team that got picked up by Bob Odenkirk and his wife. Okay. All right. So that's how I kind of got to know. Tim and Eric style. Tim and Eric style, but they used to do these like very, almost mumblecore shorts. Okay. Very like realistic and I don't want to, I don't want to say funny because I never laughed at them. Just like odd and interesting. No. No, it was like a realistic, it wasn't around to me of like, if Entourage didn't have like the levity and fun, but it was about young Hollywood types and their god damn fucking boring life. Fiction. I'll not like a documentary. No, no, no, no. But drunk history and when they started doing the shorts with Jen Kirkman and and they had Will Ferrell and Don Cheadle, I think, and the first one. Okay. Yeah. It's a good show. I watch it all the time. I've seen like two episodes and I enjoy them. I enjoy the one with Jen Kirkman and Winona Ryder about the Salem, which yeah, yeah, that was a great, that was a great episode. The boss. I mean, it was a great episode. The Boston episode. Yes. Yes. Mainly. I love that they talked to the two townies about the Isabella Gardener. Yes. Yes. That was pretty fun. And what's her name from Connie Britton was in the third one and the third one about the guy's actual real life story. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's a fun show. I mean, there's not a ton. It seemed pretty light. I can tell you just from my own existence. I mean, we go through our DVR each week and I like to look ahead to see what I'm going to record. Right. Monday night is barren every week. Do you watch anything live? Only like special, like we, the last thing we watched live, we watched the last episode of Parenthood. Okay. Yeah. You'll watch events live. Yeah. Like a show that like we really like, we don't want to have it spoiled or it's going to end. Usually it's the last episode. I mean, I watch the last episode of Breaking Bad Live. Okay. I watched the last episode of Parenthood Live. And do you and your wife watch it together like after the kids go to sleep or something? Like if it's a show that we both like. Okay. Yeah. But I mean, usually we'll just go to sleep and then we'll watch it later. Like, independently. Yeah. Everything's DVR'd. So we'll just watch it later. Like I've never watched The Walking Dead during its time slot. It's always the next day, two days later, the weekend, we bank everything up. What we'll do though is we'll pick like one show, like right now it's Shark Tank. Okay. And I'll just hit record all episodes because when I was in New York, I was in my hotel and I watched 10 minutes of it. Right. And I was like, this is fascinating. Yeah. And I got home and I just, we record. I recorded like 65 of them in a week. Yeah. Because it airs on CNBC. Oh yeah. Because CNBC shows, the hotel room, there's two hotel room shows that I only watched CNBC on and I would be fascinated by them. One used to be a catch predator. Yeah. That was like the hotel room CNBC show and they just show like 40 episodes of it. Yeah. Then it was that, what would you do show? Yeah. Which grew. I think one of them grew out of the other. Yeah. Yeah. They both came out of Dateline, I think. So now it's Shark Tank. They didn't show the other two. I don't think they show those. They show Shark Tank. The new thing is I think they picked up the syndication rights for Shark Tank. And then with that, because that show is kind of blown up in the like the last year. Weird. I've seen the British, the original one. The Dragon's Den. Dragon's Den. Yeah. Which, the title makes so much more sense because like if you're going to a Dragon's Den, it's usually to like get something from the Dragon. Yeah. And you're like, you've made it through in the, you know, it's like kind of mythical. Yeah. But a Shark Tank is just like, we're just going to eat you. Yeah. If you get into the Shark Tank and then you get out, I guess if you get out alive. Yeah. Very different connotation. But enjoyable nonetheless. It's made me appreciate just how shitty you can be if you're rich and still be likable. See, I watched one segment of Shark Tank. Was it? And it was because of the almond water? It was because the almond water, which I've supplied showing with the yesterday, which he was interested in drinking because he started on Shark Tank. And it's this almond water Victoria's kitchen that I've been talking about for like two years that I just haven't a stumble upon in LA like basically right when they started. And it's the best thing I've ever drank. And I, so I watched it for that. And I was like, these people are assholes. Yeah. Well, I mean, they're so focused on money. And that's it. And I mean, occasionally they do good things, but it's just, it's a show that I can just, we can just put on and watch. But doesn't it sort of spotlight everything wrong with America to you? I mean, in so much is that there's five super wealthy people in control of the destinies of all these people. Yeah. And who are being rewarded for being dickheads? Wow. I mean, they're not all dickheads. Yeah. And I mean, and then occasionally they do do nice things. Right. Do you think they do that because there's a show or do you think they would do that anyway? Generally nice people. They're just, it's, it's like a, it's a, it's a level of rich that I can't even fathom. Yeah. Oh, you're totally different. It's like the kind of thing like I always look at my wife and I go, could you just invent something so that we could sell it to somebody? Yeah. Do anything. Could you imagine going through life not having to worry about money? No. Because I'm probably, and you're probably the same way, like maybe two paychecks away from it. I drove up to your house in a snowstorm so that I can go do a show after this. Yeah. Yeah. Because I, that check is going to make a difference. Yeah. I can't imagine just being able to hand out 75,000 dollars. And not even no. It went like that. Yeah. No, I don't understand. I, I get that you would watch that. That seems like a background show. Like you're, do you watch it doing other things or do you watch it like in games? It's, it's a, it's a show that when the babies go to bed, or they go down for a nap, yeah, it's a, we could put this on while they settle and we watch on the monitor to see if they're you can check in and out of it. Yeah. Because it takes them a little bit to settle down and fall asleep. So we'll put that on and then we'll decide, are we going to bed now also? Do you rub their gums with a little bit of, of whiskey? Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the last thing I saw it. I mean, we give them a shot of whiskey too. Right. It's not in it, but in a syringe. Yeah. Right in the eye. Yeah. Is this the first product you've tried that you've seen on shut up? Nope. We have, we both have subscriptions to groove book. What's groove book? Groove book is a, it's an app that you can get on your phone. And for $3 a month, they will send you can pick a hundred pictures off your phone. Yep. They'll print them out and mail them to you. For $3 a month? Yep. A hundred. And how are they, is it cheap and crappy looking? Oh yeah. Absolutely. They're horrible. They're absolutely. I mean, the, we're taking the pictures off of your phone. So they're not going to look good anyway. Well, phones are pretty high resolution. That means not when I did. Maybe they look good for other people, but mine always come back like blurry. But it's also like, oh, this is nice that I can like look at these, I give them the babies they play around with them. Like I don't, it's $3 hundred pictures of my kids off my phone. I'm fine with that. Oh, what size are they? Like five by seven little, like you would have got a photo on that. Yeah. Yeah. And they've, the, what the thing is, they've, they've cut a groove out in the thing. So that the book is flexible. Oh, it's a book. It's an actual book. Yeah. And then you tear out your photos out of. Okay. But we've done that. We're getting our kids these balance bikes that we saw on Shark Tank for their birthday. A balance bike? Yeah. It's like a little, it's like a, it's like a two wheel bike that doesn't have pedals that you kind of sit on. You straddle it. You sit on it and then you kind of balance and wobble. What is the, so it's a broken, it's a broken bike. Yeah. I'm just told that's what we're getting. My wife is, my wife's all on that one. That one I didn't quite understand. So some guy went, you know what the problem with bikes are? Yeah. The pedal and the ease. And the ease. So let me just remove them and now it's going to be a big product. Yeah. It's a skateboard that's like three feet off the ground with two wheels. And you, and your wife deemed that good for your children. She, she is her master's in early education and child development. So if she, if she thinks that it's going to be good for them, we're going for it. All right. Fair enough. But yeah, no, there hasn't been too many things, but I, I just watched it. It's one of those shows that can't explain to you why. There shows, I mean, I, I do, as I said before, for new stuff, I do get a little cut up in the reality show. So I would watch like hell's kit, not house kitchen, I would watch kitchen nightmares. Yeah. Kitchen nightmares was that show. Bar Rescue. Bar Rescue. Yeah. Any of those shows where it's literally mindless. Yeah. I, there's a formula to it. I can see it. Um, 15 minutes of recap after every commercial, American, uh, not American pickers, pond stars was like that. Pawn stars. I love, uh, counting cars, American restoration, top gear on BBC is like that for me sometimes. I hate, uh, the main guy from, from top gear, which main guy, the, the, um, the main main guy, the big, the big fat bullfrog neck. Yeah. The old, I can't think of the names. He, Jeremy Clarkson. Yeah. He's a prick. Okay. I can't watch him. Fair enough. Yeah. And I did see, I did occasionally watch that show in England when I lived there. Yeah. And I just was like, this guy's a fucking asshole. All right. Yeah. He's one of those people who was like, I live in an island, so don't have to pay taxes. Like he's one of those people. He lives in the aisle of white. So he doesn't have to pay taxes. So if you live on the aisle of white with a who played their legendary contest, you don't have to pay taxes. There's, there's a tax loophole. That's right. Yeah. There's a bunch of British people who are tax exiles. Jimmy Carr is one of them. He didn't pay something like a million pounds worth of taxes one year. So he just gets to live there. All right. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm watching that at eight. And then I'm not watching the episode at eight thirty because I don't know if I could have taken an hour. Um, yeah. What, what are you going with at eight thirty with the last half hour of Antiques Roadshow? Yeah. That's fine. That's a show you can just dip in and out of. That's another show that I watch frequently. It's just like a, like a background show. Um, yeah. I think I might have gone, uh, yeah, Monday night, Monday night is typically Antiques Roadshow Night in my house. Yeah. And that's not how you want to kick your week off. Well, to me, it's like, see, it's not, I don't think of Monday night as a depressing night. I think of that as my like, all right, this is your night to go to bed early. Right. You set the clock off. Yeah. Yeah. Just reset. Get your sleep. Okay. Yeah. I don't want to be challenged. I don't want to watch anything heavy. True. True. You don't want to watch two girls and really be upset about their plight. And I don't want to watch anything heavy, so I'm not going to watch Mike and Molly. Mike and Molly. Cool. Nice. I wish I had, I wish I had phrased that a little tighter. That's a show that I've, that show's been on for like 10 seasons or something crazy hasn't it? No. It's, it's been on for like four or five years. Who is that guy? Who's the guy? That's Billy Gardell. He's a stand up. He's a stand up? Yeah. I've never heard of that guy in my life. I think he came on, he probably came on right after that. I will say this, this morning, this very morning, I didn't want to get out of bed and I watched the first and only episode of King and Queens of, King of Queens. I don't mind the King of Queens. It was okay. It was fine. It was the only one I'd ever seen. Yeah. But that's another show where it's like, I don't, I never watched it, but if it was like, if it was 6.30 and I had to put something on and that was on like, I'll be run. Right. Right. That's the King of Queens. Yeah. I like, I don't mind Kevin James. He's okay. He's surprised to see that Nick Buckeye was a producer. I don't know that it is. He was on the show almost live, which was like a Seattle sketch show institution. And then he was the, he's a stand up and then he was the announcer for Alan Haevy's night after night. And then he was the voice of the cat on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Okay. All right. Yeah. Awesome. So the nine o'clock I'm going with Sleepy Hollow. All right. Well, let's, can we talk about Gotham for a second? Yeah. I was not interested. You skipped over Gotham and you're a big Batman guy. I'm a huge Batman guy. Have you seen any episodes of Gotham? I have not. It looks okay. Yeah. But I don't, I'm basically looking at it like a mediocre else worlds comic and I don't, I'm not interested in the, the teenage story of it. It seemed, and have you seen it? I have not watched any of it. It seems like it's less about, if it was more about like the Gotham police department, like that's what it is though, isn't it? But it's, I thought that's what it was supposed to be. And then when I've seen previews and stuff, it seems more CW than that. It definitely seems like a CW show, which I found very off putting. That's interesting because I, I, I don't, it's got Donald Loge. That's the only thing that keeps me trying to go back. Yeah. Um, I, he was responsible for one night where I could not sleep because one of the Jimmy the cab driver spots. Yeah. He, the line was, I was just about to fall asleep when I was a teenager and I have actually had a big test the next day and I would have the sleep timer on my TV. And as I'm drifting off with MTV on heels, it makes urine shoot out of my peepee every time I see it. It was like the fade out line in the head. And Rachel and I were in a cab with the real Jimmy the cab driver who's a real summer vocabulary that he based him on. Is Donald Loge local? Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know he was just very excited for that. So yeah, I, I skipped Gotham. Okay. That's one of those shows that I might, if I can pick up the DVDs or something really cheap at some point. Yeah, that'll be on my, that'll be, and that'll be on Netflix. Yeah. Oh, I'm sure. Um, okay. All right. So then you're going to sleepy hollow. No. Now that is the modern, uh, telling of a Bob Crane, it could Bob Crane where it, it could Bob Crane is like a, this is what I get from it. Yeah. He's a Knight or something and traveled through time. Sort of. Yeah. It's, it's basically like a reverse Connecticut Yankee and King Arthur's court. Okay. So the show came out of Fringe. So it's Fringe, which is one of my favorite shows on Fringe. Not a spinoff, but when Fringe got canceled, basically half the people went and made sleepy hollow and half the people went and made almost human. Okay. And so almost human was like a future tech show. It's funny. It was okay. John Larricut was a good villain. Sleepy Hollow is like dumb Fringe. Yeah. Like it's like, uh, it's like, if you mix Fringe with the show, supernatural, like it's not very deep, it's kind of stupid, but it's like a fun show. I haven't been watching this season and all I kind of took, I kind of dropped off the end of last season, but I liked it. It looks cool. Clancy Brown is on it and it has a lot of people from Fringe. So I watched it. So I would probably go with that. I think I'm going to go with nine o'clock. I'm going to watch, I'm going to start the Lego movie. Again, I have no interest. Everyone goes on. I don't know how great that is. How could that be? How could that be good? It's funny. It's just, but is it funny in the, and there's jokes for the parents too, like, does anyone be like, oh no, you did it or any of that kind of thing? No, I think it was, it was much more sincere than that. Okay. Which I think is why, I think it's why it did so well. That's what ruins modern animation movies for me. Yeah. No, it was not, it was not the typical DreamWorks, like, like I'm going to do a hip hop pose and like there's no fart. Yeah. It was just like a silly. Fun classic. And the other thing is the jokes for the, the way the movie's structured is that it's all being told through the imagination of an actual autistic child. You said it and so it's seen elsewhere in the movie. I think that's the first time that's ever been on. I mean, hardcore pawn is on true TV. I do enjoy that show. Hardcore pawn. Now what's the difference between hardcore pawn and pawn stars? Well, first of all, I want to mention I was out for lunch with people that I work with one day and this guy was going on about how much he loves hardcore pawn better than pawn stars. And everyone thought he was talking about pawn. Of course. But hardcore pawn is a little more realistic dare I say. It takes place in Detroit and it's a real scumbag family and it's not Antiques Roadshow at all. Like someone will come in and be like, I want to sell this fur coat and it's all mothy. I actually, I think I would prefer that so much more. It's so, it's more like a real pawn shop. Yeah. And the guy will be like, I'll give you 10 bucks. And then the guy's like, I really want to get 12 and he's like, no, and then they get in a fight. It's like Jerry Springer pawn stars. The other thing on a nine o'clock is Jane the Virgin. I've heard that's good, but I have no interest in seeing it. No, she won the Golden Globe. I mean, whatever that's for fucking worth. Does that make you want to watch things when they win an award? It makes me curious to see it. Okay. Sometimes I think things get awarded too soon. Yep. I mean, this show is still in its first season. But does that? It's only aired half of that season. So you're telling me that girl's the best actress? Is that because everything else is so bad? That might be. But I mean, I don't, I haven't followed the awards the last couple of years, just because it's only such, except yeah, I'm very passionate about the Tony Awards. That is not a joke, everybody. But I mean, when Brooklyn nine nine one for the first half of its seat, I was like, yeah, that's a, that's a fine show. See, I hate what's the main guy? Andy Sam. I hate Andy Sam. We'll get to that. That's on Sunday. So nine 30, are you sticking with? Slippy Holland for the whole hour. All right. So let's move on to Tuesday night, Tuesday, February 17th looks like we got the first half of the premiere of what's my line. Not interested with the lady from Reno nine one one not interested not never seen Reno nine one one. You never saw Reno nine one one never saw Reno nine one one interesting. Okay. I never saw any of the state follow up shows, Wendy MacLenden Covey the hot one, like the like, yes, yeah, the bloody launch on choosing bridesmaids as well. Yeah, which I didn't like that much. Um, yeah, it's, it's okay. It's not going to hold up over time. Yeah. It doesn't work. Yes. Yeah. But I liked her from Joe, the Joe Shmo show. That was a great show. That was great. I, I went to Nebraska with a comedian named Ross Bennett who looks just like one of the guys that was on the Joe Shmo show. Okay. So when I was looking at the head shots of the people at this festival, I saw his head shot and I was like, oh shit, it's the guy from the Joe Shmo show and you're excited. And I got excited. And then when I got there and everywhere talking about the different things people have done and I was like, I was like, yeah, I mean, he's done so many things. He's on that, that reality show and they were like, what are you talking about? He's not done. He's never done any TV or anything. I was like, it wasn't on Joe, the Joe Shmo show and they were like, no. And then I went back to my hotel room and I looked up and I was like, did you have to pretend like you were just kidding? No, they didn't care. Yeah. So I, this was the easiest night I think out of the whole two weeks, this Tuesday night. Okay. Tuesday night, eight p.m. Flash. You're going with the Flash. Yeah. The new, is it good? It's really good. I haven't seen it. It's really good. I, I kind of dipped in and out of Arrow and didn't like it that much, but then when it started getting crazy and they started really introducing like bizarre characters from DC, but Arrow on Arrow Flash. So Flash to spin off of Arrow, it's in the same universe and Flash is really good. Okay. Even though it's Barry Allen and not Lolly West, like it should be, it's, it's still pretty good and they've done, it's not like, what was the Smallville, which I hated and I could. Is it part of that same universe? No. Did they introduce Green Arrow on Smallville? I think they did, but I think it's a different Green Arrow. It might be. I'm not exactly sure, but Smallville was really boring. The last season of Smallville, they started introducing all these characters and it got interesting. Well, Smallville is the same as Gotham. It's like, there's that old, the Pan Osmalt joke of, don't show me the Death Star being built. Right. Just show me the Death Star. Yeah. It was, I didn't like the mopiness of it. Like I don't need a mopey Superman, but I, I, the Flash is really good. Okay. Flash is something I'm, I'm getting more curious to check out. I think I would probably. And they just introduced the nuclear man himself, which there was a picture in, in the article in the beginning. Of the new, um, Firestore. Firestore. Yeah. See, I can't get, I'm, I'm not a DC guy, so I can't get super excited about anything on DC. What agents of, of shields was awful. Yeah. It's gotten better. Okay. I watched like three episodes of that and I could not have told. Yeah. I'm dying it into the movies. I'm intrigued by Agent Carter, but I think I just like the period setting. Yeah. I haven't watched a lot of agents of shield either. That's one I am actually going to catch up on. There's a couple other things I probably, Parks and Rec is in its last season. I've also never seen that. That's a show I really enjoy. I'm a season behind on it though. So I wouldn't watch the current season. Um, let's see, uh, BT showing the book of Negroes. I did write that down. The book of Negroes is on all month because it's February since black history. Yeah. And the book of Negroes, is that like a mini, it looks like it's like roots. I don't know anything about it. Uh, it's not highlighted. So they, the book has not given us any coverage of it. It sounds like just some racist thing that someone keeps on their own like a, like a slam book. Yeah. Like some guy in his town goes, I got to add this to the book of Negroes. There's more now names and addresses, just names and addresses. Um, I think I would go with MasterChef Junior, uh, only because I'm currently watching it. I don't want to see kids do things. You know what's, you know, what's frustrating about it is that they do things way better than you can do them. That's part of the reason I don't want to watch them do things. Um, but I, I, I've always liked Gordon Ramsay. I like Gordon Ramsay. Uh, it's for kitchen nightmares, in particular. I never watched any of his, I never watched, what are the other two? There's MasterChef. I hate health kitchen. I hate health kitchen. A guy I grew up with was the runner up in health kitchen. Was he? Yeah. Jay Santos. That shows, it always seems so white trash to me. It is. And it's so, it's so ridiculously written and not real at all. But MasterChef Junior, it takes the three judges from MasterChef, Gordon Ramsay, one. And Gordon Ramsay is probably the sweetest, nicest guy. Oh yeah. I mean, he's a poor guy from Scotland. He grew up in a council estate. Yeah. But he's so, he's so good to these kids and nice that it's, uh, he had a bunch of really good shows in the UK. So the original version of kitchen nightmares is so much better than the US one. Oh yeah. It's not like a game show. No. Like in the US one, they're like, we redid your whole bar and here's this money. The one in the UK, he would go in and try to fix it. But then you'd be like, well, you kind of fucked, you know, which is, I can't replace your stove. I can't get you new stuff. Yeah, I'll just leave you to it. I'll leave you to it. I'll give you advice. And then he had this great show called the F word in, uh, in the profile show, right? Sort of. It was like a weird, almost talk show kind of thing. And there was, uh, each season he would raise some kind of animal at his house to kill for the final meal. So like they raised pigs, they raised turkeys, but he would do with his kids and he, you were like, oh, he likes his kids. I'm thinking of something else. Yeah. It was really good. The F word. The F word. So it mainly ramsy at home with his family. Some of it. So it was different segments. So it was like in this restaurant, celebrities would go. He would have like, you know, cooking challenges with celebrities. And then it would be, you know, stuff about like, it was like a news magazine show. It was interesting. So you're in for a flash for the whole hour. Yeah. And then supernatural for the second hour, which is a show that I continue to watch every week. That's the show I've never seen in mainly because you tell me to watch it every goddamn time we speak. That's why you won't watch it. I think so. I can't, I can't, I can't come up with another reason for why I just won't even give it a shot. It was, it was hitting me as it got very good at times and then Ben Edlund wrote for it. Who did the tick and. Yeah. I mean, the thing about it. It's from Robert. The thing about supernatural to me is that it seems like it's for little girls. It is. Okay. Yeah. All right. That's a barrier to you. It's enormous. This season's been like, and I still watch it, but that is the one show that I watch every week because I've been watching it for 10 years. And I still watch it even though I'm, and there used to be a lot more shows like that. But the older I get, the fewer and fewer of those shows there are. Yeah. Well, I think it's the fewer and fewer of those shows exist. Everything seems to be now has an end game. They had an end game, but it ended in season five. And then the guy who created the show quit because he's like, I'm done now. And they're like, let's go on for another seven seasons. Yeah. I think lost when they finally gave them like a clear end date. I feel like all these shows now do the same thing. They want to go out on their own terms. Yeah. That was what I loved so much about parenthood. I watched that with my wife and they ended the season. The guy that gave them, they said, we'll give you this amount of time to wrap it up. Right. But you can write to that number as opposed to trying to stretch out your whole thing. Yeah. I mean, that's what happened with the show Chuck, which I really liked. But they thought every season was the last season. So they'd have this big ending and then they'd come back and have nothing and have to do another. It was annoying. Yeah. And it really ruined that show. So yeah, that's my whole night. Supernatural. Yeah. So yeah, I think I'm going to give, I'm definitely going to watch agent Carter, Marvel's agent Carter. Because she's hot and is wearing vintage clothing. And because I loved that Captain America movie so much. Really? I didn't like it. I did. Have you seen the new one? The Winter Soldier? Yeah. I love that too. I didn't like that storyline in the comics. Yeah. I'm so in on all these Marvel movies. It's really, really ridiculous. It's too modern Marvel. And the, see, I was a huge Marvel kid growing up, but I love Bronze Age Marvel, which is like 70s, 60s, early 80s Marvel. And this is like 2000s Marvel. Yeah. And I had no interest in it. I'm all in everyone. I get more excited. Seacoot. Invasion. Civil war. All that. And I also hate Iron Man as a character. Okay. And so a whole universe based around Iron Man is not what I want to enjoy. Iron? Yeah. Yeah. That's, he could be on Shark Tank. Yeah. Absolutely. It's basically Mark Cuban with a metal suit. Yeah. He's a rich drunk alcoholic that everyone's like, yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I'm going to go with that. I mean, on PBS, I don't know how you could pass up the Italian Americans. The Italian American experience is chronicled beginning with why many Italians came to America. That seems right up your alley. Because Sean, I don't want to go to sleep filled with hate. Here's why many Italians came to America. Nobody wanted them in Italy. That's why they're like, if you, if you go to actual Italy and you'll be like, I'm going to tell you in America and they'll be like, no, you're from Sicily. You're a piece of shit. You didn't get the rich, best and brightest immigrants here. Like the Irish that came here, they were like the lowest to the low. I can't. They had no opportunities. Why they all came here? That's what made America. It's always hilarious to when these people are like, my family's the best. It's like, they were eating their shoes where they were from because they were the poorest people there. That's why they moved to America. One year, man, before we got the anti-Italian rant out of you, but we got it. We got it. We got it, man. I haven't gotten an anti-Italian. It's anti-Italian Americans. Yeah. Muzzarella. So Wednesday, I stuck with the comic theme. Okay. We went with Arrow. Arrow. So this one is Deathstroke is encountered really cool character. Yes, encountered by Oliver and Thea when they land on Lee and You. Yeah. That's not a, not, not one word in that sentence made any sense to me other than Deathstroke and Oliver. Arrow is the hippie Batman and he was trapped on this island for many years, which is where he learned his arrow skills and Deathstroke is the, is basically if Arrow was a sociopath. Actually, Deathstroke's more like if Batman had all the skills he has and used them as a soldier of fortune instead of to help people. He's completely a moral. Now, I thought, I just thought he was a Batman villain. Deathstroke? Yeah, he was because he was basically like a, like a hitman for hire. Deathstroke's a cool character. Boy, a boy, eight o'clock, it's, it's a, I might have to go with you on this. It was a tough night because there's not a whole lot, uh, book and egros is on again. The book and egros is on again, uh, eminata, eminata, yeah, eminata, seizes her chance when Revolution breaks out in New York, uh, South Park, the, uh, repeat the boys get a porno is on. I went with South Park later Wednesday night, so I went with South Park at nine thirty. Okay. Uh, South Park's a show that I don't watch frequently and I will watch in a hotel room or for on vacation or something, but it's consistently good. Yeah, it really has not dropped in, uh, quality. It's been on for like twenty years. Yeah, that's a show that literally just won't ever end and, uh, they, did you see the documentary they did? It was only, it was just shitty documentaries, only half hour. No, about Sarah Parker and Matt Stone. But it was basically they, they were like six days to air. I think it was called. Yeah. But they basically, uh, show how they make an episode. And like real time. Yeah. They can, they, which is why they're so timely and topical and stuff. Yeah, it was really, uh, it's really pretty, uh, impressive. Um, yeah, man, there's a whole lot of nothing on at, uh, eight o'clock. It's a rough night. Uh, little women L.A. on life time. Which do you think is about little people? Yeah. Yeah, I know that's not, that is not the lorrying. You know what a writer is not in that. I saw the movie in the theater because one on a writer was in it. Uh, I, I think I saw that, that, that also has, uh, my so-called life in it. Claire Danes? Yeah. That's what I call her. Yeah, my so-called life. It's got my so-called life in it. Like Danes. Yeah. Uh, yikes. Not a lot on, uh, my 600 pound life is on TLC. And that's just a 600 pound woman? I don't know. They don't tell us. That's the, that's the problem. It's Claire Danes now? Yeah. She's 600 pounds now? No, Claire Danes is still, uh. She's, she's not home-line. Disgustingly. Yeah. Yeah, which she's, uh, matured into a fine young woman. She's a, uh, okay actress. I will say that. Romeo and Juliet. Yeah. Mod squad. Keep going, buddy. That's the only ones I can think of. Uh, all right. So you're in, uh, the whole time, uh, for an hour on, uh, yeah. And then at nine, I'm going with Modern Family, which I've never seen, but everybody claims is good. Uh, you know what, I, this is the year that I stopped with Modern Family. Okay. And that's been on for like eight years or something, right? I, I think it's like six or seven now that I don't care about it anymore. You know what I find off-putting about it the most is the pseudo-documentary format. That is really, um, dumb. I can't watch show like that anymore. Yeah. I never watched American office for the same reason. Pakistan records like that too. I just don't like it. In the American office, they at least eventually, just like the British office, they did address it. And in the final season, the documentary actually aired. Okay. And they dealt with it in story, but it just seems like a lazy way to make a comedy show. It doesn't make any sense on Modern Family other than that they can get some, some jokes based off of. Yeah, it seems like it seems like a lazy way to write. Yeah. It's not. It's just- I looked at it the same way as the family guy cutaways. Yes. It's that sort of, um, you know, like lazy crutch, whatever it likes Modern Family. So I figure I should watch at some point. Pete does not like Modern Family. It's not. It's, uh, yeah. It's fine. It's not like Ty Barell is growing on it. There's nothing wrong with it. I just, this year I just didn't care about it. That's how I can tell. I go eventually if a show gets up to like 10 on my DVR or even less than that. Too many you just gone. It's like five where it's like, I'm not going to watch these. Right now in that with Top Chef Boston, where it's like I was watching, watching, watching, and then I fell in love with Master Chef Junior and I stopped watching. That's fair. It's not even related to Boston. So now I have five and it's like, yeah, I'm not going to watch it. I read who won and I'm never going to watch those ever. How would you compare Master Chef Junior to Master Chef in terms of James Bond Junior to James Bond? Well, in both cases, Master Chef Junior and James Bond Junior are much better than the original. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That was my thing. Why you had to ask? My dad loves Sophia Varga. Yeah. And her son goes to BU and so she's in Boston frequently and more or less every other time I talk to my dad, he asks me if I've been in town lately and if I've seen Sophia Varga. That's interesting. I wouldn't, she doesn't seem old enough to have a kid in college. Oh, she's like almost 50 or something. Oh. Yeah. Ooh. Looking good. Yeah. I don't have anything to add Wednesday. I mean, Duck Dynasty will he visit Scotland. I have no interest in it. Okay. You got into that because you were at hormonal when your kids were born. I got into that thing, right? Yeah. That was like another show. If I had discovered Shark Tank earlier, I would have just recorded 100 Shark Tank. So shows with water based animals in the title. Yeah. They got these sharks and ducks. Yeah. So. Fish police. The fish police was really good. That was a really good show. Not as good as the dog police music video. So yeah. And then 930 and we're in South Park because there was nothing. Yeah. No. You're not going to watch the Cleveland show. No. I've never really seen any of those shows, the Seth McCrallen shows Thursday. No longer must see TV. I've noticed. No. Not at all. But this whole old house hour at eight o'clock. It used to be Thursday, NBC, specifically, it used to, I mean, up until this year, maybe. It's all dramas now, right? It's all dramas now. But it was, I mean, the last couple of years, it was Parks and Rec and Community in the office. Oh, yeah. Community wasn't Thursday. And here's the word thing about community. I always felt like community was a show that was very much like a good to say by the bell. Yeah. It's like a DVR community and watch it Saturday mornings. Interesting. And it seems like a Saturday morning show to me. Yep. Yeah, that makes sense. It would be like. Excuse me. I decided that it's still on. Yeah. I'll watch it on Saturday mornings. Yeah. But I, but none of the cast is really, I mean, they've lost a lot of them are. I got some insider information from a mutual friend of Sean and ours. He was on the show. Wow. That sounded pretty good from when it starts, but I can't share it because of non-disclosure. All right. But yeah, that would be like, if you try to watch it. You just violated that non-disclosure just by saying that you have that information that I have that information. Yeah. He's just going to get sued. Yeah. He'll be destitute. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. Now it's a, is a Grey's Anatomy on? Grey's Anatomy. That's on ABC. That's just been on for like 28 years now. Yeah. But if ABC, just looking at it quick, they're dominating Thursday nights because Grey's Anatomy scandal and how to get away with murder is there three in a row and those are, they're all, I think, they might all be by the same lady. I think they are. And they're super popular with like my mom type people. The only moms love those three shows. I haven't watched Conan really in years. Yeah. And I think this was a Conan bit, but they have like truthful, uh, synopses of current shows or what the title really should be. And they referred to Grey's Anatomy as something to watch before you masturbate. Yeah. That makes sense. Okay. That's all I know. Thanks to watch it. We don't anymore. But yeah, NBC, NBC has gotten away from comedy on Thursdays and also they were getting spanked by CBS moved all there. Their comedies? Yeah, there's comedies to Thursday up against the American office and those. This is what will shock you then at my nine o'clock. Well, let's what it, what did you pick for eight o'clock? The this old old house hour. Oh, yeah. Let's talk about that. Yeah. Which is a current episode of this old house, which I watch every season of and I have since I was probably two and that's the first half hour and the second half hour has asked this old house where you can write in and then they go and show people how to fix things. Now you've watched every episode of a home, like a legit helpful, yeah, home improvement show. Yeah. And you could not fix one thing in this room. Nope. I could not fix anything. Fair enough. Although I fix my toilet and I, I love how Bostony that show is. This old house. Yeah. I was actually, we were watching it before you got here and I was saying to Rachel that I don't think anyone's ever done a take like this on, you know, the whole like fantasy and magic and all that stuff's very popular these days? Yeah. I feel like wizards or magic users would not be like cool rock stars. They would be like Tommy from this old house. It would be like a carpenter guy who'd be like, Oh, yeah. Okay. What you need is to get a like these spells here and mix it up that'll fix the pro. Like they would be more like that guy, not like some, you know, David Bowie. Yeah. I think is that in a world where there's lots of wizards, I guess, aren't there things like that? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. That wizards and fan goblins and dragons turn me off. Yeah. Yeah. Because of the DVR, I don't have to watch commercials. Right. I don't know what other shows are on, other than the shows I watch. Right. And two, I don't know what movies. Oh, I don't know either. I have no idea when movies come out or what they are. But I feel like the people who like movies know way more than we ever knew. Like I used to get entertainment weekly. Yeah. And I would, if they would do their like fall, spring, whatever preview of movies, and I would sit with a calendar and write down when the movies came out that I wanted to see. But I feel like now people know everything about a movie before it even comes out because they're getting like on set, spoiler tweets and all this stuff. But I looked, they announced the Academy Awards and they announced there's eight movies. I've seen none of them. Yeah. And I had only heard of three or four of them. Yeah. I completely checked out. I didn't know. It was, it was, and I only heard about them, the gimmick. I mean, I heard about the Wes Anderson movie. Which I liked. That was the only one I had seen. Boyhood, which sounds so boring. Yeah. And the rest of them all sound super boring too. Yeah. Or less. So much so that I'm, I'm putting the curtain. This is my show today. We're no longer allowed to talk about this. Fair enough. Moving on to movies too. Let's move on to, so you get that you're in there for the whole hour. Whole hour. I'm going to go with the slap only I looked it up. It's got a good cast of people. Yeah. Yeah. It's a movie series too, which is cool. Yeah. NBC and I mean, they all seem to be doing these kinds of things. The return of event television is an interesting thing. I watched on Fox did Grace Point, which was the remake of, well, I mean, this is also a remake of Grace Underfire. This is a remake of Grace Underfire. Grace Point was about an academy you could go to where a military was based around Grace Underfire. David Tennant was played the Brett Butler character. Yes. Yes. Oh, that was, that was the remake of the UK. A broad church. Yeah. That's what you got. Yeah. Which I had never seen broad church. So watching this was fine. Right. It didn't make me want to go back and watch broad church. Right. It's the exact exact same thing. It's exact script. Yeah. But that's this, the slap is a remake of some Australian show thing like that. Of course it is. So we're moving towards like adopting this BBC model of like doing these short series board so much so that we're just literally nothing original seeing copies. What other English speaking countries can we just use this? Grace Point. Grace Point was stupid because it had David Tennant who was the original star. Yeah. They had the original, they brought the writer and director. Yeah. Why even do it? Why would that guy take it? It's money. Well, he's getting money. Well, the one thing I noticed when I lived in England was there were people there who I would do like comedy shows with who were very successful in England. Not Alex Edelman's successful. We'll say that. But they would, they would be on TV and have their own shows but felt like they were failures because they had not done anything here. Yeah. And I'm like, no, stay where you, you're. Yeah. No matter here or like, yes. No one cares, yeah. Yeah. So the slap, I might, I might try and convince my wife to go back and watch that because we don't have, we're searching for that thing to fill the parenthood hole. Fair enough. Fair enough. You're looking for slapping to fill your parenthood hole? I mean that we're two parents of two young babies. It's not fixable. Jesus. We need something to. It's not fixable. As you say. Parenthood is done. All right. Nine o'clock. I'm with the series finale of two and a half men and I'll tell you why. So in 2003, when I moved back here, I got a terrible job at the local CBS affiliate and we had this thing called up fronts where they show all the pilots for that season to the advertisers to buy money, not buy money to buy ads. And so the worst show in that lineup was two and a half men. So I saw the pilot and thought it was one of the worst things I have ever seen. The best thing they showed was Veronica Mars and I was like, this will be on forever. Wrong in both accounts. So I've only seen the first episode of two and a half men. I've never seen another episode. So I feel obligated to watch this series finale. All right. I'm in. I didn't know that the show was even ending. I assumed it would just always be on. And I'd like John Cryer. Yeah. He really got tied into that forever, huh? Yeah. But he's rich forever from that now. Was he not rich forever already? Oh, no. From what? I don't know. Pretty in pink. I definitely would. Stewart's coming home. Yeah. I definitely would not watch that. I understand. I knew it would be a controversial pick. There's not a whole lot I would watch though. That's the thing that's the most disheartening about this whole issue is that there's not anything is nothing is jumping out. No, this is this was hard because two and a half men is taking a cousin to the prom. It's like, well, I got to go and there's nothing else I could do. I guess I would go. I would. My dad keeps telling me the black list is great. Okay. With James Spader. With another pretty in pink alum. Yeah. I probably would go with backstrom, which is another it's the another event on Fox. Okay. With rain Wilson from the office. I don't know him. He's I guess a detective or something. Oh, I've seen a trailer for that. Yeah. He's like he's like autistic. I don't know. I don't know anything about it. I feel like he has a trench coat and it looks like it rained. How many shows on television now are just about autistic detectives? Boy, any I mean, well, if you could go back in time, how many detective shows were actually about autistic detectives? True. But they were more they used to call that gender the defective detective. So it'd be like he's blind or it would be more of a more of like an overt gimmick. Yeah. But I feel like every single one of these where it's like, I can't interact with people, but I remember everything a show time is also showing earthquake. These ain't jokes. I assume that's comedian earthquakes, not the wrestler. No, or not. You know, it'd be funny is it was just footage of people being injured in earthquakes. And it was called earthquake. These ain't jokes. And it's just this is funny. Just horrific sinkholes, horrible and just a voice over you should not be laughing at this. 19 people were murdered. This man was murdered by the earth. Murdered by the earth. He was holding Jello when it happened, but you shouldn't laugh. Dr. Strange Love is on TCM. So you know what, I might change all my things and I might just watch that again. I think that's fair. I think that's fair. European vacations on as well, which yeah, a lot of Chevy Chase movies on this weekend noticed that we should picked later. Chevy Chase is on all the time. He really is you could you could find Chevy Chase on television at any point of the day on some channel, though, which leads me into my Friday. Well, let's slow down here on we TV. We have back to back at eight o'clock. We have David to terrors. Now David to terror is a show. My wife watches. He's a it's called David to terror. I'm not sure. It says David to terrors apostrophe S. David to terror is a super gay rich person wedding designer. Okay. Like plan wedding planner. Okay. So like the Martin short character in father of the bride, yes, but not that that like not that entertaining. Yeah. So he basically the show that I've seen that my wife watches, which I don't know why she watches all these shows. But we're already married. She still watches wedding dress shows all the time. She's going to want a 10th anniversary wedding for the next wedding. Okay. Pete. I'm talking about David to Tara Pete just pulled out one of the most disgusting bones from an animal I've ever seen yet. He's got some huge bones over there. Yeah. So anyway, he takes poor people who can't afford a good wedding and he just gives them a giant, the wedding of their dreams. Here's my question. Are they already engaged it? Does he make them get married against their will? They are already engaged. They already know each other, but I feel like some of the engagements are against of people's will. Okay. I see. But this must be a different show because back to back, the first one at eight, Dennis Rodman hired David and then at nine, Ray J contacts David. He's the one that had the sex video with Kim Kardashian. Yeah. And that's, uh, Moishe's brother. I believe so. Okay. So I just, back to back, Dennis Rodman and Ray J. Two of the worst human beings ever. And we can get them all on one channel in one show. On one channel called the women's entertainment. Women's entertainment television. Wouldn't women hate both of them? I would imagine. Yeah. Though I don't know if women have any cause to hate Dennis Rodman so much as all of humanity has caused to hate Dennis. Well, since he's had his head injuries, he's become just a horrible human being. I think so. I mean, he's not a great guy. I enjoyed him when he was playing basketball. I enjoyed him and Simon says the best thing game cook ever did. Let's go. Let's go to, uh, Friday, easy one. All night I'm watching the SNL 40th anniversary special. All right. Well, that, uh, that was on, yeah, that's on as we record this tomorrow. Yeah. So I'm going to watch that tomorrow. Is that the rearing at them? Yeah. Next week. They're rearing it on this Friday. It's not a two part thing. They're rearing it. I don't think so. Okay. But no, no, this is already, this was cause I have last week's and it's in there to be. Yeah. That's on tomorrow night cause I have my DVR set. Well, I don't think we need to get too in depth in it cause I love SNL, but I have not paid attention for 20 years. Yeah. So I would kind of just fade. I really, really liked when they did those, uh, decades specific specials like the 80s the 90s. Yeah. 80s one is great. I love that one. Yeah. I liked the 70s one, the 80s. I liked them. Yeah. I like them all. I got up to like current day. I was like, why are we even doing this? Why is this a thing? Yeah. That it's like that I love the 2000s, like instant like, instant like replay of like the last 10 years. Yeah. All right. So that makes that easy. And I'm almost tempted to just jump on there so we can, we have time to go into the second of these weeks. Yeah. Yeah. No problem. So then Saturday night. Well, oh, you might not go in there. I didn't say. Next man standing is on, and that's the new Tim Allen show. That's awful. I've seen that. Now, I've read a lot of think pieces about how crazy that show is. It's not crazy. Okay. I mean, I haven't seen a whole episode, but I've seen probably two hours of it and like two or three minute chunks. Nancy Travis is in it, who I really like and is from Boston. And she was, she was in a bunch of really good 90s sitcoms and was a pretty good movie actress in the 90s, and she's totally not utilized well on that show. And I just hate Tim Allen. That show seems like if someone let my dad make a show, yeah, that's what would happen. All right. Well, that's that's that's anger and down. That's a show that has survived that's that's that's and it's fourth or fifth year as well. Which is so weird. The show right after it. This is their TGIF, I guess, I guess because we've talked so much about TGIF right in the past. She has last man standing at eight, Christella, which is kind of an anomaly, I guess. Hispanic family show, but but but it's a sitcom that was handed out to a stand of comedian. Right. In like the traditional stand of those model that existed in the 90s. And Dana Gould works on it. I don't I listen to some of her stuff. She's a pretty good comedian. It's just it's not a show I have any interest in. I don't hear, but I've intrigued by it just for the pedigree. She's coming to town soon. She's doing the Women at Comedy Festival. And then at nine Shark Tank and I probably would watch Shark Tank, but I would watch that any other day. Insane pools is on. I did see that, which sounds pretty interesting. It's on like the nature channel animal planet. Yeah. Yeah. Insane. I will watch those like world's craziest water parks. Oh, I love those. A thousand and one places to pig out. I don't love the water parks when I get claustrophobic, even watching tubes. Yeah, even watching them just with the GoPro, whatever camera they have. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like this. I'll turn to my wife. Could you go down? She'll be like, yeah, go down that fine. I was like, what if you got stuck or rivet, like ripped your leg open? So the thing I like about the water parks is they're the closest thing to an amusement park consisting entirely of forts. Like forts designed by children. Uh, yeah, I guess. I guess that's one way to look at them. Yeah, that's how I look at life. All right. Let's move on to Saturday, the traditionally a nothing. Well, no, not traditionally. No, this is a big night for you. That is always a big TV night for me and always has been. Okay. Well, let's, this one starts 8 p.m. What did you go with? Cops. New episode on Spike. All right. No, it's cops on Spike now. It's not on Fox anymore. It's not on Fox anymore, but new episodes are being produced for Spike. Okay. I still watch it. All right. That's interesting. I wouldn't. I didn't know it was still. I mean, I just assumed it was on. I didn't know it was not on Fox. Yeah. Fox dumped it two years ago. It was the longest running show on Fox. Yeah. I really have nothing of interest. It was a tough night. If not for cops, I will say that. I remember my youth had always Saturday night is when HBO premieres their new movies. They did. World premiere movies. But how many movies can Stephen Seagal make? It was always a Van Dam or a Seagal movie, the Saturday night. No, they would show. That was when they would show good movies Independence Day Men in Black. Yeah. It was that kind of. Yeah. This is the fault in our stars. Yeah. Do people watch HBO for movies anymore? No. You know, well, I mean, you can watch the movies on demand. Yeah, I feel like it's- I always check because they do get, they are like after the on demand like pay to rent it. Yeah. If it's on HBO, eventually that's a grand bed of Budapest hotel is on HBO right now. Right. So I can watch that on demand whenever I want, which usually means I'm never going to watch it. So I'm just like, yeah. It's on whenever I want. You have no meetings. You'd be like, watch. I mean, I would plan my physical movie. I really wanted to see. I couldn't get my dad's rented for me or I didn't get to see it in the theater. Right. I would plan. I would go. I'm going to watch them movie. The World premiere on Showtime. Yeah. I would get excited about it. Fair enough. So yeah. Cops at 8. 830. It's not a new episode of Cops. So I'm going to flip to the last half hour of the new Hawaii 5.0 show, which I thought had already been canceled. And that's an excellent point. I thought I would. I never didn't know it got out of its first season. I've not seen it at all. I like Jimmy Khan. So I think maybe I'm like his son. I like Hawaii. Could you not call him Jimmy Khan? Jimmy Khan. Speaking of Alex Edelman for the third time. Yeah. Remember when we were at the Great and the Secret Show and we put him on the first time he did a set that I remember going, this kid's actually pretty good. Yeah. He's probably 15 or 16. Yeah. He kept talking about, he goes, and you guys know that scene of the godfather with Jimmy Khan. Yeah. And he kept calling him Jimmy Khan. Which is very weird. Which I was just like, you know, I don't know him. He might know him. I don't know. He probably does. He probably does. He's low hand. So yeah, kind of like his son. And also, frankly, it would be an excuse to watch probably women in bikinis. Hawaii 5.0. Okay. And my grandfather loved that show. The social network is on ABC, which is not seen it. I mean, the movie is, they're showing a movie on ABC. Yeah. They've been doing that a lot lately. That's very traditional. Yeah. On Saturday nights, I think they showed the Hunger Games recently. That's weird. Wreck-it Ralph is on. Yeah. That's on at nine o'clock. Am I watched that? I've not seen that, but I was in somewhere. I haven't either. And I don't know why. That looked interesting to me. So at nine o'clock, I had a man-hunter/Wreck-it Ralph. Man-hunter is one of my all-time favorite movies. Yeah. With William Peterson, Branker. Yeah. The first. The first. The good version of Red Dragon. Yeah. It's Michael Mann. I've seen it a million times, but I'll always watch it if it's on. But Wreck-it Ralph is on, so I was kind of intrigued to watch either. Yeah, I think either of those are fine, because it's Saturday night, there's not a ton of stuff. No, you get a pizza, you watch Man-hunter, you know, fair enough. I mean, what I would do if I didn't have work, as I would, I mean, we would probably would watch Shark Tank, or we would just any other show, if I'm home, then we'll, that's when we would kind of unload and pick something from the week to put in there. So that's fine. Sunday, now the new busiest night of television. And I probably picked something that's not on anyone's must-see Sunday night show, but I love this. Okay. The Great British Baking Show. The guy would have picked that as well. It's great. It really is very relaxing. Well, and Superkins is the co-host, too, who I absolutely love. You see the one from Super Eaters? Yeah, the Super Eaters. Yeah. Is that what it's called? The Super Eaters Go. Yes. Where they recreate, they go back on a- Yes, the diet's historical, that's the guy or her partner in that Giles Corrin, he is on the F-word with Corin Ramsay doing similar stuff. That show kind of spun out of the F-word. But Superkins is probably the only lesbian I have a crush on. Yeah, now who was the other lady on that? That's Mel. She's a common partner. So they were a comedy team in the '90s, and then they kind of split apart and suited all this stuff on our own, and now they're back together for the Great British Baking Show. Yeah. Now I can tell you, this is the February 22nd, the Academy Awards they're on. I'm not interested. I hate award shows, they're not entertaining, they're the worst humor ever, even if they have good people. You're right. This is true. Yeah, I don't care about any of the movies. Alright. I can't argue with that. The only reason is to go on Twitter, I guess, and play along, but even that, I don't have interest in any more. Do people really care about- I literally- You don't know. The only thing that I enjoy live tweeting is the Macy's Parade, and that's very fun. We do make that. That's harder, it's getting easier now that the babies stay awake, but that was a tough one this year to try and get involved with. Because that's crazy. The award show, it's the same thing over and over and over again. I can tell you my Sunday night, if you look at my DVR, it's the busiest night on there. I'm going to go with the jinx, the life and death of Robert Durst. What is that? It's on HBO, it's a true crime documentary series that they're doing. It's like six episodes about this guy, Robert Durst. And is that because the serial was popular? Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Well, as so much as you can make a documentary that quickly, it's from the guy who did- Then blue line, is it a real horse? No, no. Capturing the Freedman's. Okay. Okay. So this guy, Robert Durst, his first wife disappeared mysteriously. Yeah, the last person to see her alive was murdered or something. You know what? I said this, why would anyone- why do you have to say mysteriously when someone disappeared? Yeah, it's disappearing. I mean, if they disappeared, there's no one like, "Yeah, we all knew about it." Yeah. Even if it's a notification. It's a magic trick. It's still mysterious. It's mysteriously. Yeah. And then he murdered his neighbor and like, dismembered the guy. Okay. But he's never been convicted for any of the crimes he got off on all of them, even though he admitted- Check the calities? I don't know. I've only watched the first episode because as we sit here, that's the only one that's aired. Right. So I'm in on that, watching that- Okay. Do you have the British baking show you're watching that the whole hour? The whole hour. Okay. Then what do you got at nine o'clock? Diners, drive-ins, and dives, the triple D. Really? I hate Guy Fieri so much. He is a human ever-clear. He is the- he is the human embodiment of the band ever-clear. Yep. But that show I love, if that was hosted by anyone else, it would be fantastic. Yes. It's such a good concept, and I love seeing local restaurants so much that I can overlook his Hagarian awfulness. I'm fascinated by that choice. Okay. That- I can tell you on my DVR that we record now, now me at this time, the Walking Dead is on, and Girls, which I would watch the Walking Dead out of those- I put Girls on week two on Saturday night, I went with Girls, which I've not seen. Can't stand that show. I've not seen it. Cops reloaded is on CMT. That's okay. It's Cops two Metallica songs. Okay. I don't know. That wasn't funny, but I laughed like I was. Yeah, you did. You did. And I don't feel good about it anymore. So nine-thirty, are you- A whole hour of Diners, drive-ins, drive-ins, and dives. Really? It's a special. There's a rerun of Mythbusters on. You're gonna watch the Diners, Drive-ins. You know why I'm not watching Mythbusters, and I put this on my second week, is the only reason I realized the only reason I watched that show was for Carrie Byron, and they fired all of the B-team. Which would make the show so much better to me. It would be a better show, but I kind of only was watching it for that. I don't see. I never- The Carrie never did it for me. And they ran out of- But they ran out of myths like ten years ago. Oh, yeah. So I was like, "If I'm gonna watch it." If you were gonna check out- You should have checked out when Scotty got canned. Scotty was good. She was the best. All right, so this is another unprecedented move, but because the TV Guide is telling us to do so, let's go to Monday, February 23. It's two weeks, this issue, because no one cares enough about TV Guide that they just do two weeks at a time. So we're gonna- I'm gonna forego my correcting your choices just- It's an interest of time. Yeah, just so we're gonna just- We'll talk about what you got at eight o'clock. Yeah. What are we going with? I'm going with two broke girls. I like Kat Denings. I like- Oh my God, I'm liking- Garrett Morris, and I like people who write for it. But I recognize it's probably a terrible show. Yeah, I'm gonna go with the World Dog Awards. Fair enough. That's our On The Sea. It's hosted by George Lopez, so you know it's gonna be fun. You know what's good? Two broke girls. It doesn't do a fucking thing for me. It looks terrible. It looks like really badly Vernon Shirley with sex jokes. I say Gotham, Gordon and Bullock investigate the Red Hood gang. Which is interesting, but I don't like the way that they've turned the Red Hood into a real thing, and then, you know, it was like kind of a, could this be the origin of the Joker when it was good, and now I don't give a shit about it. Oh, now that it's Jason Todd. Yeah. And mostly 'cause Judd Winick did that, and I'm like, "Hey, real world boy, don't ruin my comics." Yikes. E3A1 with Schitt's Creek, there seems to be nothing that could potentially be even remotely bad about that. I watched the first episode today. Good. It is, I think so. Okay, you got Chris Elliott, you got Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, his son has pretty funny on it. It's made in Canada. It's, yeah, it definitely has its own rhythm, but basically a rich family gets all their money stolen by their business manager. Sure. It's arrested development? Well, but the only thing that they have left is that in some time in the '90s, Eugene Levy bought the town of Schitt's Creek for his son as a joke, as a gift for the birthday present. I like it. And so that they, in the first episode, at least, they are only able to live in a motel run by Chris Elliott. This sounds like an amazing SCTP already. It was pretty entertaining. It was enough so that I'm going to continue to watch. Fair enough. I'm on board with that. Better call Saul is on also. Never saw Breaking Bad had no interest. I just wanted to, because Bobo and Kirk is so great. Yeah. I saw him arguing with his daughter at the Grove. That's, I imagine that's most of that little girl's life. It was Rachel, me, and Rob Turbowski. Definitely. Does he argue? Like he does. Like he would. Yeah. He was, he was yelling. That's how we recognized him. Grove Turbowski went, oh, there's Bobo and Kirk arguing with this. He's filming something. With this daughter. That's what we saw. So yeah, I'm going with that. And Schitt's Creek, 9 o'clock. Sleepy. Hollow again. Okay. Tuesday night, I went-- I really hope Schitt's Creek, uh, it's on the TV guide relaunched pop channel. Yeah, but it's, but that's just who picked it up here. It's a Canadian producer. Yeah, but it's not even on demand. I have to record it in regular. That makes it special. Uh, but it looks like shit. Uh, I'm going with a Disney made for TV Disney Channel movie. Bad hair day? Bad hair day about a girl having a bad hair day going to the prom. Yeah, girl. I prom day goes from bad to worse. I will watch anything set at a prom, like a sleepover. I just love that era of TV. No, I do. Are you have any awareness of this show before you saw it? No, it's a movie. I've never heard of it before. I first saw it in the TV guide. All right. And just looking at the description, I went, "Ah, watch that." I loved, um, what was the movie, Fun Size? Did you see that a couple of years ago? No. It was about a teenage girl, uh, and she heard it. I think we actually-- I think we actually talked about this on the, uh, on-aired episode that we did. Okay, it's good. I will watch this. I think we talked about Fun Size. Uh, Fun Size is good. So, yeah. I'm watching-- Wait, does a little person come in to it at any-- Ah, maybe? Maybe I'm thinking of something else. Oh, no. But yeah, I would watch that. And then if it's bad, then I might watch Counting Cars at 9. Uh, I don't know what Counting Cars is. That is a spin-off of Pawn Stars. It's this guy, Danny, who goes by the name Count, who has a place called Count's Customs in Las Vegas that takes old vintage cars and, like, makes them awesome. Okay. Really cool. Um, yeah, that doesn't sound horrible to me. It's better than Pawn Stars because it's people with a skill making things, which I always like. Um, yeah. At my house, at this time, the recording switched at birth, which is-- Okay. Holy shit. I'm not a huge fan of the ABC Family Channel original dramas. No. Um, because they are, uh, for children. It's lifetime for children. And if my wife listens to this, they're for children. Yeah. Yeah. Well, she's a teacher. She needs to watch those. She teaches kindergarten. The last-- Would you say she's watching the television equivalent of a balance bike? You've stripped this television shelf, everything that made it good, now it's just dangerous. Switch to birth does have, um, Lea Thompson. Oh, Lea Thompson? Yeah. I don't anymore after watching the Switch to birth. Uh, Wednesday night was my toughest night in the whole two weeks. Okay. This was the hardest one. All right. What do we got at eight o'clock? I went with a half hour of aero. Um, Merlin is captured by Razagul and taken to Nanda Parvaj. Yeah. I'm not really that into a rogu, rogu, rogu, rogu. Yeah. And then at 8.30, I went with the Goldbergs, which I have not seen, but everyone said it was good. Yeah, I don't have any interest in that show. I don't have the nostalgia for the '80s, and I will give that this show seems to be sincere in its nostalgia, but it still seems like it's-- isn't this stupid? Just name checking. Yeah. So that's the thing that people forget about the Wonder Years. Although it was set in the '60s, every episode wasn't like, hey, remember the twist? No, but it could be-- Look, it's a pet rock. It could have been set in the-- any time. Yeah. And I feel like all the trailers I've seen for the Goldbergs, it's like, this episode, it's all about new characters. It's cute. Yeah, which seems-- and I don't know, you know, that might just be the way they're promoting it, and it may not be that way, but I haven't checked it out for that reason, but I'd watch it that night, 9 o'clock. I probably-- I'm just going to jump in. I probably will watch-- there's a new season of Survivor premiering, and I'm thinking of a show that I've watched more of the first episode. And then checked out. And then never watched it again, then Survivor. I only watched-- I only watched the first season of Survivor. Season 2 was when I was working at Channel 4, and we had the auditions at the station, and we had to build an obstacle course in the parking lot, and that's the one that Elizabeth Hasselbeck came in. Yeah, I had such a-- I read her. I had-- when that aired, I had such a-- I was like, oh, she's the cutest girl in the world, and then she turned out to be a horrid monster. Do you remember Colleen from the first season who was super cute, she had all the bug bites on her legs, and then she was in that Adam-- not Adam Sandler, the animal, the Rob Schneider movie, the Animal, as the female lead, and they were like, she's going to-- then she just disappeared. Yeah. What happened to her? I don't know. I liked her. All right. 15 years ago. I mean, what? I mean, they put a lot of faith in order to anchor down that Rob Schneider. Yeah. To be the talented one on Rob Schneider movie. So we got the first half of Arrow, and then we are watching the Goldbergs. Goldbergs. And then I was going to do like a half hour of Mythbusters, and then at 930 I went with Black-ish, which looks terrible. So you skipped Modern Family this night because you-- I skipped it. I watched it last weekend. And you had enough. Yeah. Black-ish is Anthony Anderson. Is he a stand-up? He-- I don't know if he's a stand-up. I think he is. He was on a lawn order, the regular lawn order in its last couple years. And they went, "Let's give him a comedy show?" Well, he's a comedian. He's also a comedy-- Oh, OK. I can't think of anything else that he's been in. You would know him if you saw him. Ah, check it out. Wahlbergers, a new episode, is on at 10, and we are big. No, thank you. And then it's followed by Donnie Love's "Jenny" or Jenny Love's "Donnie." Oh, dear. I was at the post office a couple weeks ago. I was actually a New Year's Eve. I was at the post office. And I overheard one of the male ladies say to the other one. She goes, "Wow. That's when Jenny McCartney met Donnie Wahlberg. So New Year's Eve can't be that bad." And I've noticed that for some reason. You would think people in the Boston area could pronounce McCarthy. Every single woman like that calls him her cartney. You know, Jenny McCartney-- Paul McCartney's daughter. Wahlberg. She got no legs. I will say, Broad City is on at 10.30. I know it's been on earlier in the week. That's always-- I hadn't seen that until I was on the plane, actually, a couple weeks ago. That's the good girls. Yeah. They marathon it, and I really liked it. It's the same thing as Lena Dunham's show, except I don't hate them. It reminded me of Flight of the Concords. Yeah. I enjoyed it. So we're going to Thursday. Thursday night, BBC America, QI, Q8 show. QI. I don't know what that is. It's a panel game show, which is again a thing that we don't do here in America, that they do amazingly well in the UK. The only time we tried to do it was with Nevermind the Buzzcocks remake that had Mark Marin as the host, and it was terrible. And this is a panel. It's just comedians and Stephen Fry talking about stuff as a game show, and it's fantastic. It's on All Night. I'd probably watch most of it, Pawn Star's new episodes is on it nine, and I might switch over there. You got a real Sophie's choice between ABC Family and AMC, where they're showing Forrest Gump and Titanic. I have no interest in either one of those. I saw both those in the theater. I saw Titanic on a date, and I was laughing at the end when the people were falling and bouncing off the ship, and the girl just left. I can't think of two movies that would cut into each other's own audience more than paying those suits. Yeah. They're cannibalizing with those two films. Not to get away with Murder as Season Finale is on, which seems really for Season Finale, but everybody seems to like that show. I've heard good things about it, and I was disappointed that it's not a this old house-type show for Murder Us. I like the actress. I can't remember what her name is, because I'm a disgusting racist, but I like the woman that's on that more than I like the one. Would you flip that on and go, "This book of Negroes is not everything now!" BT Honors, Kanye West and Felicia Rastada are among the honorees of this annual celebration. Ooh, that's a movie. Yeah. Now, let's talk about this. I mean, you brought it up on the Billie West episode, but how can you fucking monster go back to a year of almost every episode? Is this how great the Cosby show is? Talking about how great the Cosby show is. Because it's still a good show. All right. And the guy might be a monster, but the show itself is a sweet, good show. Fair enough. But there's probably a lot of people who do quality things that are monsters on the scenes. Yeah, but not to that level. Maybe. All right. Allegedly. We don't want to get used to it. Yeah. I wouldn't watch anything he did knowing that now. Just like, that's why I wouldn't watch that awful Mike Tyson show, and that guy should rot in a fucking hole. Because if you're a convicted rapist, no one should give you a television show. I agree. Yeah. I agree. And there are some crimes that are forgivable. Like, I could forgive murder. You could accidentally murder somebody. You can't accidentally rape somebody. Yeah. You can't rape somebody to defend yourself. You can't. Yeah. And I'm talking about the Mike Tyson mysteries. Yeah. Yeah. Specific. Yeah. See, I don't know enough about it other than he was convicted of rape and went to jail. Yes. But it's got Norm McDonald and Jim Rash. That's what's weird to me. It's a good cast of people. And I like the people involved. And I'm like, no, do not give a rapist a show. Yeah. That one is, I don't watch it. I watched like five minutes of it, just to see what it was. So yeah. It's Friday night. Friday night. Our King of the Hill. A show that I never really watched that much when it was on. But now if I flip it on, I always enjoy it. That was a show that was so under the radar. King of the Hill. Yep. That's on Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network. That's a staple of that show. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Great show. And then at nine o'clock, Fletch lives. The sequel to Fletch. Chevy Chase. Fletch lives. In the movie, I've not seen either of them. I tried to watch Fletch. I have this thing, and you know this, so I'm just being afraid. I can't watch things that look old to you. I eat, but like so specific to its time. It's two eighties for you? Yeah. I don't know why. That might be generational. It might be. But no, because other people of my generation love Fletch, and just, I have to do it someday. It's funny. The first Fletch is very, very funny. The second one is underrated. It was written off as being really terrible. But it's pretty decent. It's all about one of those movies, too, like "Plains, Trends, and Automobiles." I talked to you about that earlier, but I finally watched it, and I was like, "Yeah, this is okay." Yeah, I mean, I don't have the effect, because I didn't watch it when it came out. You don't have the context. Because in context, the thing I love about "Plains, Trends, and Automobiles" is it's not the funniest movie I've ever seen. I love the heart of it. Well, that's the other thing. I was expecting real fucking balls to the wall comedy, and it is not. Well, and that's to me is the saddest thing about John Hughes is that he was on a track to make these really great, sad movies. Yeah. You had even career opportunities, or which could have been a great indie movie, or stuff like "She's Having a Baby," and all that stuff, and instead he went the other direction, did "Babies Day Out" and a bunch of garbage. Well, yeah, "Plains, Trends, and Automobiles" is great until the last literal fucking minute of the movie. With the reveal? No. No. No, no, no. That's what I mean. If it ends with John Candy going, "Mrs. Vendetta with all these years," and then... Did you see that coming or resprised? It means it's been spoiled for me fucking years, and so I knew it, but I was like, "All right, but I could still see it coming along through the movie," and I watched it, and I'm like, "All right, this is all going to work out nicely. I can hear the ending of a movie and still enjoy it," but they go and they walk down, so they walk from the train station to Steve Martin's house, and then they go up and they knock on the door. And his wife... And his kids should open the door, and they go in, and it should just go to voiceover, fade to black there, but instead, they do this fucking glamour shot of his wife coming down the stairs. Yeah, that's a little... And it goes soft. I was just like, "Gahhh." When I saw that in the theatre, my dad went, "Bet his wife's in that trunk." Because he's carrying the trunk around the whole room, but that said that to me. Two more nights, I got girls Saturday night. All right, so let's go... Let's just... Speed around it? No, no. We got time. Okay. I don't want to rush through them. But yeah, Friday night is... And you have anything for you. Girls eyes on it, eight on HBO2. Yeah, I'd figure I'd check it out. I've heard about it. I don't know anything about Lena Dunham. I don't care. One fuck about that show. My wife watches it out of obligation at this point. So it's just like sex in the city with ugly young people? Um... Yes. Yeah. Uh... But... Yeah. But... Then Rosanna at 8.30. I know people hate Lena Dunham for some reason. I don't know anything. I don't... I don't think... I don't know if I hate her. I just... I don't like the characters on the show. It's one of those shows where it's just like... I mean, it's like one of those things where it's like I don't like anybody that lives like that. Like... Yeah. You watch that and you go, "This is not for me." Yeah, just... I'm an adult now, so I can't appreciate this. Yeah. Um... And which... It also makes me glad that I'm not that age now. I think that I would be concerned. Uh... Sit down, shut up was on... What's that? At 8? That was a cartoon from years ago that was on... It was like a fox that... One of the ones that tried to pair up with Family Guy in the Simpsons. Uh... Mitch Hurwitz's cartoon about teachers... Um... Teachers in a school. And is it good? Uh... It was okay. It's got a great voice cast. Amy Sedaris and... Will Arnett and... Okay. So... Arrested development. Um... Divorce Wars? Divorce Wars? That's... I'm just reading what's in the book. Little Nicky. I probably would have gone with Little Nicky that Adam Sandler, Satan's son, comes to Earth. That's really bad. Um... Yeah, so at 8.30 we... What did you say you went with? Rosanne. What channel is Rosanne on? It's on... TV land. TV land, yeah. Okay. I mean, it wouldn't be an episode of the TV Guys Council without us talking about Rosanne. You've got to talk about Rosanne. Rosanne's on every night on TV land and I could go with that every night if, you know, that's a good standby. I might go with Owns. Owns? I mean Own, the Oprah Winfrey Network is showing Sweetie Pies, colon, extra slice. What is... I don't know. I don't know. It's just... No narration, no music. Just an hour of shots of pieces of pie. I don't... That would be great, wouldn't it? Just watch shots of pies. Sweetie Pies. Sweetie Pies. And then at 9 I'm going with Jaws 2. Uh... On EMC Jaws 2. Yep, Jaws 2. Okay, yeah, I don't know if Jaws is another one that it's... I mean, Jaws is better. I'm not even... The first one is a good movie. It's good. I never saw any of the sequels. The sequels are amusing. Jaws 4 is one of the worst movies ever made. Uh, let's see what's on HBO. The movie premiere was Endless Love. A privileged girl falls in love with a handsome valet, but a disapproving parents conspire to keep them apart. That's a new movie? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yes. Apparently, I've never... Have we done that? It doesn't say, because this TV guide is a fucking bag of shit. Nick, you know information. This is nothing. Uh, let's look at SNCC real quick. Just see what SNCC is... They still do SNCC? I don't know, but it's Saturday night and we're on Nickelodeon. Okay. Eight o'clock, we got Henry Danger. That sounds like a cartoon. Uh, 830, we have Nicki, comma, Ricky. Okay. Is that about a girl who turns into a boy when she's angry? I'm making only hope. Or when she gets wet, not in the sexual way. Not like, you know, like... Like, like Willy Millie. Or like Turbo Teen. I don't know any of the references you're talking about. Big John Little John. Uh, 9 o'clock, we had Bella. Which, again, I don't know what that is. Do you think we can pitch that show about a girl who turns into a boy when she gets angry? Like a teenager? I think they would do that. Not in these days. 'Cause of the trans, kind of... Uh, no, because, uh... I probably couldn't do it because of the Super Bowl commercials. It throws like a girl, like, do everything like a girl. Oh, so you couldn't get the comedy out of the gender? I don't fish out of water. No, 'cause somebody would go like, well, I mean, why? When she get angry, she... In other ways, she can fight and argue as if she turns into a man. Right, I see. I see. I see. And I wonder if you couldn't do it the other way. The guy turns into a woman when... Oh, so when he gets angry, he turns into a woman. Oh, they're gonna say when he gets calm. Uh, well, how about you have this? When they get angry, they turn black. Is that better? Should we just move on? Answer your show. Okay. Okay. (laughter) Jesse Jackson's bringing the podium around front. Fair enough. Uh, yeah, not a fucking, to not anything interesting. Cart life. Cart life? Yep. Geobramati is disqualified in a suspicious technicality. I assume that's a show about... Go carts? Go carts? No, I think go carts. Go carts that serve food. I have to assume it's go carts because at 10 o'clock, the episode description is JP Southern Jr. sets a site on Jason Wellidge. Is that a TV show? A TV show? Southern Jr. How made up of a southern name is that? That sounds like a bad improv group's southern caricature. I'm JP Southern Jr. Woo. I love a nice car. Um, we can go to Sunday night now. Uh, at seven o'clock, America's Funniest Home Videos. I wish we had done last week's issue because, as I'm sure you know, yes, tomorrow night is the 25th anniversary celebration. I love America's Funniest Home Videos. I watch it every week still. It's such a funny show. It will always be a funny show and Tom Bergeron is an amazing town. Yes. That guy is so good at hosting things and charming and doesn't do cheesy stupid things. Nope. Uh, people don't give him enough credit. It's a skill that's not, it doesn't exist anymore. No. I mean, a lot of people shit on Ryan Seacrest and guys like him. Which is a different kind of thing too. Yeah. But I think if you look at Ryan Seacrest, you'll appreciate how good Tom Bergeron is. Yeah. But I even look at Ryan Seacrest and I go, and then you look at somebody like Mario Lopez, and you go, whoa, fucking Ryan Seacrest, knocking this shit out of the park. Yeah. Yeah. But Tom Bergeron, I mean, yeah, no. Professional host is this Tom Bergeron, Alex Trebek. Say Jack. How many left? Not many. Bergeron came out of radio, which no one will ever come out of now, and had this whole local TV. Yeah. He's got the credentials where he learned along the way, which is part of the reason he's so good at that. Yeah. I know that whole. There's no, did you know how he got that gig? Why would I know that? He was hosting the local Emmys, the New England Emmys. So Tom Bergeron is, is from Haverill Mass. Okay. And he was a local guy. I used to host this local talk show here called People Are Talking, and he was a local radio guy. He was hosting the local version of the Emmys in Vindibana, the producer. His mother watched this local version of the Emmys on like any CN to England cable news. And when they needed a new host for America's 27 videos, told Vindibana, get this guy, I just saw him hosting these local Emmys. So he hired him. And that was his big break. That was his big break. And now he's dancing with the star. Yeah. I would probably go with, from Russia with love is on Encore. At 8 o'clock. I'm going with The Simpsons, a show that I haven't watched in decades. Yeah. I got tuned back into The Simpsons when FXX did that thing where they aired every episode in order. And I was coming in, just checking out like random, I mean, I went through and I recorded all of my favorite episodes ever. And then I would check in on later once just pop in, and it's, I mean, it's always been that way. Yeah. I mean, it's like, it's like Saturday Night Live where everybody goes, it was always great when it was early seasons. Right. So I was like, yeah, that's true. I mean, it probably was better. Yeah. I mean, it's never been 100% great. Well, there's, and I think I said this to you when we were talking earlier in the week about the SNL, that 141 cast members ranked or whatever, that the quote I hear about SNL is the best year of SNL, definitively, is the year that you were 12. And I think kind of The Simpsons is the same thing for a lot of people because I checked out in like the mid 90s, but there are people who do swear by the bad years. And I saw an episode at Bridge Town a couple of years ago. It was like the Portland episode. Yeah. And it was great. And it was the first one I'd seen in a year. So I'd check it out again. Once Upon a Time is on, also on ABC, which is, I want to say the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my entire fucking life. It just seems like an ad for mopey teenage girls who have moved on from Frozen who still want to watch things about Disney princesses. It's a show for girls with your windbreakers. Okay. All right. That's awful. Yeah. The Disney villains band together. It is like the girls growing up that you knew who were into ponies, they would now watch Once Upon a Time. I think we recorded the first, my wife watched the first episode and I kind of like secretly thought it was going to be like that comic fables. Yeah. Which I think is what grim is supposed to be or was grim seems more like supernatural to me. Yeah. But I think that's dead. Yeah. Once Upon a Time seems like someone, someone told someone about a Neil Gaiman story and then the person who heard about it tried to create a show. Yeah. And then they were like, we got ABC. We'll just throw in Peter Pan. No. Yeah. So you got the Simpsons there. I'm going with from Russia with love for at least an hour. It looks like I'm doing the Simpsons and in any 30, I'll check out Brooklyn 99 even though I really don't like Andy Samberg. It's a good show. Um, he's a, he seems like a smurky dink. He is a smurky dink, but that's his character on there. Is he funny? That's a funny show. Because I hated that dick in a box lazy Sunday. I hate that. Probably I'm going to like it then. Okay. I will say. I'll say that it is, it's from the guys that Michael Schur and Dan Gore, Dan Gore was a writer on Conan and Michael Schur created the American office in Parks and Rec. Okay. And it's got that sensibility of, it doesn't have, it doesn't do the. It's not a pseudo documentary, but pseudo documentary. It does do cutaway gags. Okay. I mean, it will reference something and then they'll cut away to it for a quick like site gag, but it doesn't tab them talking link to the camera and do no talking head stuff. Check it out. Everyone seems to like it. I like it. But that's a show right now. I have 11 of them on my DVR. So now you just get rid of them. Yeah. It's, it's going to make the cut soon. And nine o'clock I'm checking out that the new show Last Man on Earth, which I believe is based on the book with Will Forte. Will Forte is it? It's a comedy. But I think so. I thought it was a drama. I wish it would go back a bit. And tell me TV guy. It doesn't tell us TV guy. I've seen like posters for it up. Yeah. I think it's Will Forte from MacGruber and SNL. Okay. So I didn't know it was a comedy. I thought it was more like a like a post-apocalyptic based on the Last Man on Earth. I think, I think it is. Okay. I don't think it's a comedy. I think it's definitely, I mean, Will Forte is a great weirdo. Yeah. So you think it's more like Walking Dead Without the Zombies? I hope so. That's what I'm kind of excited about. I'm excited about it. I've definitely been looking forward to it. I didn't know it was coming up this soon. So I'll check that. There's a couple of new shows out that I want to check out that and I'm really excited for iZombie. It's not. This week. It doesn't start till March. But that. I don't know what that is. It's based on a DC comic that Michael already did and it's the comics very good. So I'm excited about it. And then I do want to mention the last page of the TV guy. They have a new thing in here. This is probably the only good segment in the TV guy. Oh, yes. The red show. Yeah. A few years ago this week is an episode of Law and Order that John Waters guest starred in that I had no idea happened because I wasn't watching Law and Order in 1995 and now I feel like I want to go back and watch that episode. I want to tell you that it doesn't just go back 20 years because the other issue goes back like 50 years. Okay. It's got a picture, a candid picture of Carl Reiner with the Smothers Brothers. Nice. So that's a good segment. No. No. No. Why have you never addressed the horoscope in TV guy? Yeah. I never have addressed the horoscope. Okay. All right. But, you know, who's buying TV guy for the horoscope? I don't know. There's whole magazines of horoscopes at the checkout that people can have. Well, Ken, we've reached the end of the week. The end of the week? Both weeks. But we know that the TV guy does not just inform it. It also has opinions. It's true. And they share them in a section they call Cheers and Cheers, which goes on to this day. It still has. So I'm going to read them to you. You tell me if you agree with them or you don't. Okay. Cheers to Adam Paulie for his primo late, late show stint, stepping in his guest host, the Mindy Project actor delivered a refreshingly offbeat episode that felt more like a hilarious hang with buddy sidekick Ben Schwartz, the new typical safe celebrity suck up talk show. Honestly, when was the last time Jimmy Fallon got a tattoo on camera? I don't know who that guy is. I like that because he's not James Corden. You don't like James Corden? No. No one should. Okay. Interesting. I saw him in person and had to almost tell him that I didn't like him. Let's talk. Let's talk offline. Okay. Thank you. I heard about that episode. I'm going to agree with that. Cheers. Yeah. Cheers. I guess it was very like a cable access feeling. Cheers to real housewives who need to get fired at land is Kenya Moore. Oh great. Yeah. It's about the celebrity apprentice. Yeah. Cheers to Brian Williams for slow jamming the fake news. Agree. Yeah. Cheers to it's always sunny in Philadelphia from never letting us down. So far season 10 has seen TV's best worst people take a this isn't even this is nothing to do with the week. Did they ever do that? They just cheers a show. Yeah. Just because it's still good. Yeah. Just because it's still good. Yeah. And I've never seen it. It's always sunny in Philadelphia. I didn't know it was on for 10 years. I'm indifferent on that one. I like it. Great. It's silly. Cheers to NCIS for its honorable service to gays in the military and I couldn't finish that sentence without laughing. The ratings war victor made a rare trip in a social issue storytelling with a hunt for the killer of an openly gay Navy lieutenant. I will agree with that because hey good message and also it's got Mark Harmon who is in summer school. Yeah. Looks like if my dad got his shit together. Yep. And is the funniest celebrity in a name check with a Boston accent thought it's fucking my common. I saw fucking my common thought fucking came back home and thought if you think I can tell you my how he punched Jenny McCartney in the face. Wait a second. This is a Facebook gear. Can this TV got allowed to do your Facebook? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this is this is a special gear that has a box that says Facebook. So they must have a site that people can vote or something. Yeah, 98% of Facebook fans jeer this jeers to the bachelors Kelsey for using her tragedy to her advantage with Chris Sools. I won't. I don't believe she was ever even married anyone who lost the love of her life wouldn't brag about it being such a good story. Okay. Agree. I guess. I don't know. Well, Ken. We did it. Yeah.
