    X: Giving The Gift Of 1980 Commercials

    Haaaaappy holidays! Return with us now to December 3, 1980 -- and all the utterly of-their-time commercials (and by "their time," we kind of mean the '70s) from a rerun of an After School Special, including Barbie food, fights over fluoride, and the worst baby-doll ever. We're also answering your Ask EHG questions about real-life tropes and memorable magazines, and Tara is muttering "Rosebud" in the direction of the Tiny Canon; our Not Quite Top 11 Lists explore roadside attractions and board games. Then we're unwrapping the most important boxes of television. Hop on the Starburst-coaster and join us! EPISODE NOTES https://extrahotgreat.com/eehg-388/

  2. Gone Fishing With John

    Gone Fishing With John

    We are off this week for EHG Prime but present you with this EHG Club unlock of EEHG 330: Gone Fishing With John We aren't sure about J M Buffy's reasons for forcening us to watch early-nineties cult show Fishing With John, but we mostly liked the surrealist slow-TV vibes we got from musician/actor John Lurie's rando travelogue. Ask EHG went deep on Ken Marino's Emmy reel, snacking cereals, and a Sean Bean reboot of Mr. Bean before Dave pitched a CSI cold open for the Tiny Canon. We made Not Quite Top 11 Lists about TV fish, cartoons, and holiday title puns, and wrapped (geddit??) things up with an Extra Credit Game Time from Sarah Claus. Dry off your mittens and have a listen! TOPICS 15s Of Fame: 😮 Do Doo Do Doo Do Forcening Pool: 🎣 Fishing With John S01.E04: Willem Dafoe Ask EHG: 💉 TV Tattoos Tiny Canon: 🐀 C.S.I.

    X: Polygoing Places With The Rapsittie Street Kids

    David Dickerson wanted us to watch a legendarily terrible Christmas special called Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe In Santa. One Forcening Pool submission later, here we are, changed on a fundamental level by computer animation of a sub-"Money For Nothing" video calibre that was somehow produced and aired in 2002. From that brain-numbing experience, we move on to your Ask EHG questions about the first TV shows we watched on Netflix DVDs, and the shows we'd have liked to cast. Dave pitches some naval hacking countermeasures from NCIS for induction into the Technology Tiny Nonac. We bring you a trio of Not Quite 11 Lists. Then, we wrap things up with our submissions for TV's worst accents. Finish your letter to Santa, drop it on what is either a snow-covered lawn or a frozen pond, and join us!

    Soft Rye, Snorkel Parkas, And The Most Important Person Ever To Hail From Toledo

    For this special episode, we ponder three Canon pitches from listeners like you. Did we give The West Wing's "Evidence Of Things Not Seen" a standing ovation like a trip of eggs on the vernal equinox? Were we forced to tell Would I Lie To You?'s S06.E06 some hard truths? Will we all soon be putting out our shoes to receive blueberry muffins thanks to A.P. Bio's "Katie Holmes Day"? Listen to find out.

    X: Discussing The Abandons With Abandon

    After dramatizing the political thrills of motorcycle gangs, creator Kurt Sutter has gone back to the mid-19th century for The Abandons, in which steely matriarchs played by Gillian Anderson and Lena Headey face off against each other; we tell you if it's a ride worth taking. Ask EHG yaws from our longest-standing Gonna Watch It Someday TV shows to the ideal tortilla format for dips. Sarah pitches "Sweet Rolls" from The Electric Company for induction into the Tiny Sketch Canon. We each present a Not Quite Top 11 List. Finally, we borrow an Ask EHG question about holiday crafts for this week's Extra Credit.
