    Season 2 - We're Back! A Teacher, The Flight Attendant, and Freezing Cold Takes

    Oh wow, you know what they say about riding a bike? Podcasting after an eight month hiatus is not like that. But Lucas and I got back on the mic to talk about some shows that frankly, just didn't do it for us, and shared what's been on our TV minds since April. It's not perfect, but when is Basic Cable ever the pinnacle of fine audio production? Bear with us as we get out podcast legs back. Special thanks to J, for being my expert of the week on all things FA!

    57 - Amy Schumer's Delightful Cooking show and Carlie's Mom returns!

    Who knew Amy Schumer would have such a delightful cooking show? WE DID. Because her schtick is LITERALLY just Basic Cable in the kitchen. We cover a ton of trash TV that's in no way good for us, and then Carlie's excellent mom returns for a quick segment about the return of Detective Elliot Stabler to a TV near you. Carlie and Katie also talk about the most recent developments to the Varsity Blues scandal -- there's really something for everyone!

    54 - Basic Cable Gives Thanks

    Happy Turkey (Boi) Day, Basic Nation! Our main man Matt Ski reviews The Mandolorian. (2:00) Carlie and Lucas' relationship barely survives Thanksgiving Dinner as we break down the pop culture we're most thankful for this year. Spoiler alert: It's mostly pizza and Baby Yoda-related material. Apologies in advance for my (Lucas') awful burp -- it was really unintentional. Happy Holidays! We hope your sharing your time (and this podcast) with all of your friends and family.
