    X: Is Lucky A Great Escape?

    Should you put your trust in Lucky, Apple's new limited (...maybe) series about a con woman on the run? Some of us bought in, but one of us smelled a rat; we'll explain. You asked EHG about comedy teams in horror pics and '70s TV theme songs, and Tara hoped Conan's old-timey-baseball remote would score for the Tiny Canon. We named some Not Quite Winners And Losers for the week, and Sarah celebrated (?) her dad's birthday by inflicting a Donald Sutherland episode of The Avengers on the group. Grab a box of drugstore hair dye and join us! EPISODE NOTES https://extrahotgreat.com/eehg-420/

    Are We Ready To Homestead At The New Little House On The Prairie?

    Little House On The Prairie has been one in a series of historical memoirs and a TV series that premiered in 1974, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for more adaptations: Kim Reed, possibly the world’s biggest franchise fan (or at least the biggest in our acquaintance) returns to talk about Netflix’s new version, which has already been renewed for a second season. Around The Dial takes us through The Other Bennet Sister, Big Brother S28, House Of The Dragon, Squatters, and Human Vapor. Tara pitches the Mad About You episode “Bedfellows” for induction into the Canon. Then, after naming the week’s Winner and Loser, it’s on to a Game Time with an extensive bibliography. Grab a peppermint stick and listen!

    X: The Skinny On The Girl With Something Extra

    The July 2026 Forcening takes us back to the Nixon era with The Girl With Something Extra, a sitcom about a married couple (Sally Field and John Davidson) -- and the wife has ESP. What did we think of an episode that sees Davidson's character recruited for copyright-compliant Playgirl? You Asked EHG about fantasy-casting flight attendants and defining geographic terms; Tara pitched a crappy diaper commercial for the Tiny Nonac; and Stephanie Green took a trip to Temptation Island before Sarah tackled your summer-reading list with the panel's recs for TV books. Can you guess what we're going to say? ...That's right: it's an all-new EEHG! EPISODE NOTES https://extrahotgreat.com/eehg-419/

    Is Deep Space Nine's Baseball Episode A Home Run?

    Larra submitted a late-season DS9 about baseball — in which bunting figures heavily! — for this month’s Forcening, so we stepped up to the plate for Worf homers, MLB nepo casting, and practicing strike-three calls. Ask EHG invited us to write our own Drunk History eps and set Emily Gilmore up on dates, and Tara hung a funny hat a Simpsons Tiny Canon pitch; then we named Not Quite 11 tennis episodes and show-title dog names, just in time to go back to school with TV’s most important academic administrators. Raise the roof; raise it — for an all-new episode of EEHG!

    X: Bending The Mind With UFO

    For the supporter perk series “Three Of These” for 2026, we're looking at three different British Sci-fi TV shows of the 1970s. Our series continues with UFO, a show about the brave men and purple-haired women of SHADO, an organization dedicated to defending Earth against aliens who would totally steal our livers if we let them. Join us as we find out just how Conroy, Beaver, and Straker are having the worst mental health day of the year in which they live: 1980. EPISODE NOTES https://extrahotgreat.com/eehg-417/

    X: Closing The Kitchen At The Bear

    With The Bear serving its last extremely fussy and overpriced meal, we discuss how Season 5 stacks up against the rest of the series. Ask EHG has us naming our picks for best ice cream flavor and pondering what the addition of vertical dramas to Peacock means for the TV industry. Dave pitches Mike Wozniak's S11 fart task to the Tiny Flatulence Canon. We choose a passel of new Not Quite Winners And Losers. Kim tells us why the Little House On The Prairie episode "The Inheritance" was the Most Awesome Thing she watched on TV this month. Finally, we're looking back with a discussion on most and least rewatchable shows. Order up a nice wine pairing and join us! EPISODE NOTES https://extrahotgreat.com/eehg-416/

    X: Putting On Rose-Colored Glasses For Elle

    Legally Blonde extends its franchise with Elle, a Prime Video series kicking off in the titular character's junior year of high school; we tell you whether it left us in the pink, or if we're preparing to sue. Ask EHG has us answering, among other things, what our favorite Billy Joel songs are and which piece of media would be most hilariously improved by adding a Furby. Sarah pitches Ben Stone's "Oh my gyahd" from Law & Order for the Tiny Line Delivery Canon. We present three all-new Not Quite Top 11 Lists. Finally, Dave dares us to get psychological by identifying five shows that respectively meet each of the five goals in Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs. Turn off that Nirvana vinyl -- just for now -- and listen to us! EPISODE NOTES https://extrahotgreat.com/eehg-418/
