    All the World's a Passive Aggressive Zoom Call (Boob Tube #3.13)

    Amanda continues her quest to watch every British panel show ever created, while Sarah ventures over to the (QUITE) dark side of the internet to take in all of HBO Max's Into the Storm. We come together to offer thoughts on the British import Staged, a very funny capsule of quarantine life (well...for celebrities)that tries, for better or worse, to depict our collective existential crisis. Shows Discussed: The Nanny, Into the Storm, Staged, Taskmaster

    The Long-Awaited Search Party Episode

    Yes, that's right, Amanda finally took Sarah's advice and watched Search Party. And now she's wondering what took her so long, because it really is as great as Sarah said. Why doesn't anyone ever *listen* to us?! If you haven't watched it yet, do yourself a favor and plow through all four seasons on HBO Max, then come back and join us for this episode. We're also talking about some more-serious shows (It's a Sin and Allen v. Farrow) and, briefly, the weirdness that was this year's Golden Globes. Shows discussed: Search Party, It's a Sin, Allen v. Farrow, the Golden Globes

    A Proper Bridgerton Showdown (Boob Tube #3.12)

    Once again we disappeared for a few weeks, but really isn't it more fun this way? To never know *quite* when to expect us, dropping a few months worth of frantic viewing habits in your laps? Maybe things will get more consistent in 2021 - don't get your hopes up. This week, a shocking turn of events where SARAH likes the British (...ish) melodrama-comedy and Amanda explains why having fun is bad (KIDDING). In other hot news, Amanda touts Lupin, Sarah devours the new dark-as-night season of Search Party, and we come back together to agree that WandaVision looks dumb. Ah, some things never change. Shows Discussed: Bridgerton, The Flight Attendant, Fargo, Lupin, Search Party, WandaVision, Mr. Mayor

    Queen for a Day, B*tch Eating Crackers for Life (Boob Tube #3.11)

    You are cordially invited to a very royal (or alternatively, British) podcast episode, in which we talk at length about how to wish someone a nice holiday during a pandemic, why Amanda has held onto a certain birthday card for years, and what American mothers liked about Princess Di. Oh! And TV. Lots of TV. We have a range of queen-....adjacent? shows that will a) get you riled up about royals AND Maggie Thatcher, b) make you think you understand chess (you don't), or c) get you riled up about imperialism. Plus a few gems are thrown in that will get you excited about soccer-football and scaffolding. Tuck in — we're covering a lot. Shows discussed: How To with John Wilson, I Hate Suzie, Ted Lasso, Great British Bake-Off, Would I Lie to You, The Queen's Gambit, The Crown, Queen Sono

    A November 1st Surprise (Boob Tube #3.10)

    Halloween, a full moon, the election, the Supreme Court....the Scaries Per Minute (SPM) (patent pending) rating for this week is off the charts. Luckily, Sarah and Amanda are back to distract you with a WEALTH of television they've been watching over the past month. From British comedy found only on YouTube to the new season of Fargo, plus wait - can you believe we haven't done an episode since the fresh episodes of PEN15?? Whoops. Please, close the FiveThirtyEight tab and watch an engrossing limited series instead, we beg you. Shows Discussed: The Haunting of Bly Manor, 8 out of 10 Cats, Lovecraft Country, Great British Bakeoff, The Repair Shop, Fargo, PEN15

    A Match Made in Heaven (Boob Tube #3.09)

    No, not Sarah + Amanda (although that's also a heavenly match), but Netflix + yet another massively entertaining dating show. The streamer's Indian Matchmaking is certainly elevated from the likes of Love is Blind - it's a look at the work of Sima from Mumbai, a powerhouse matchmaker. The show has some dynamite personalities and is a fascinating look at a cultural tradition, the arranged marriage, that most Americans are probably unfamiliar with, but misses an opportunity to interrogate the biases of Sima and her clients. The Emmy nominations also came out last week and while God only knows what the show will actually look like this year, at least it's still fun to talk through the highs and lows. Shows Discussed: The Brokenwood Mysteries, Hannibal, Indian Matchmaking

    Reminding Ourselves of the Bigger Television Picture (Boob Tube #3.08)

    We've got a monster episode for you, so chances are you've seen at least one of the shows we're talking about. If not, well, there's a real range of recommendations to choose from, though you'll probably need HBO. Or is it HBO Go? Wait — HBO Max, that's the one. But, uh, not Peacock. Teenage girl skateboarders. Unsolved mysteries (some of which seem pretty solvable). Moose-meat preservation. Michaela Coel and Matthew Rhys. This episode has a lot going on, unlike Sarah and Amanda. Shows discussed: I May Destroy You, Perry Mason, Betty, Unsolved Mysteries, Alone, 30 Rock

    So We Meet Again (Boob Tube #3.07)

    We're back, and better than ever! Or at least the same as ever! Sarah has emerged from the experience of giving birth with strong opinions about the last two seasons of The Sopranos, and Amanda found Hulu's The Great to be, well, pretty great. HBO's Run and Netflix's Never Have I Ever get mixed reactions, and then we talk about a whole bunch of other shows we watched in our hiatus, including the surprisingly awesome second season of Netflix's Dead to Me. Warning: things get a little spoilery! Shows Discussed: The Sopranos, Run, Never Have I Ever, The Great, Normal People, Insecure, Mrs. America, The Wine Show, Dead to Me, What We Do in the Shadows
