136 episodes

It's June 6, 1998. The number one movie in the United States is 'The Truman Show.' NBC ruled television, with 'Friends,' 'E.R.', and 'Seinfeld' dominating the ratings. Brandy and Monica were on top of the music charts, and, oh, and 'Sex and the City' aired its first episode.

Welcome to 'Shortcomings,' a new 'Sex and the City' podcast from Sam Bush (aka @bravohistorian) and Chris Lewis. They're going all-in on our problematic fave — the memories, the men, the fashion, and, of course, Aidan's obsession with KFC. Sam and Chris will recap all 92 episodes of the series, two movies, and whatever the revival is. So grab a cosmo and join Sam and Chris in taking a critical eye to a show that changed television.

    Girls - Leave Me Alone

    Girls - Leave Me Alone

    It's a very non-classic episode of Girls, but a classic episode of Shortcomings - we breakdown Powell Goldman, Tally, and ask the simple - yet profound - questions, "What's going on with Katherine?" Take a listen!

    Girls - Weirdos Need Girlfriends Too

    It's Adam's world and we're just living in it - at least for this week! But before that, we take a strange turn into the world of bazinga, old timey jargon, and some dark sided takes about the world. And then it's time to discuss it all - Thomas John, Adam's play, and shower antics.

Fan of Period Drama ,

So fun!

These two are hilarious and insightful - such a fun listen and great escape from the horror of world events and from the news and politics podcast I normally listen to.

Perfection

A perfect podcast especially when it’s over 2 hrs (the podcast content is better than the Girls’ show content)

My new favorite!!!

These guys are so cute and hilarious. Chris you have totally turned me around on Steve. I found this pod bc I decided to rewatch the original series after AJLT started. I have had some much fun rewatching and then listening to Chris and Sam’s insights. Shortcomings helped me get through the yuckiest part of a Texas summer. Thank you.
