    X: A Bedtime Story About Dear Killer Nannies

    While Pablo Escobar was forming his drug empire, what was his son up to? Being looked after by a small detachment of psychopathic gangsters, that's what! Juan Pablo Escobar co-created Hulu's new Spanish-language scripted true crime series Dear Killer Nannies; we're here to tell you whether it's worth sneaking out after bedtime to watch. Ask EHG asks the newly returned Sarah what criminal case should get the documentary treatment and what cookies she prefers; all of us are invited to weigh in on (among others) the TV character we'd have organize our wellness retreat and which Kid In The Hall will die first. Dave submits "A Thing Of Candy Beans" from Arrested Development for induction into the Unit Of Measurement Tiny Canon. We each name our picks for the Not Quite Winners and Losers of the Week. Kim tells us about her latest dip into The Love Boat. Finally, at Never Not Mike's request, we pick from the world of TV procedurals to make our own action team from a group of disparate characters. Brush your teeth, wash behind your ears, then listen! EPISODE NOTES https://extrahotgreat.com/eehg-403/

  2. Is For All Mankind Getting Old?

    Is For All Mankind Getting Old?

    For All Mankind, aka "Space Show," may be laboring under 15 tons of old-age makeup -- but the panel, and guest David J. Roth, are here for it. Maybe in space, the makeup is weightless? Or maybe it's a handful of good performances amid the non-credible writing, or the show's occasional foray into lunatic interstellar action (and Martian pizza franchising) -- but if you're not already watching, you're excused to go Around The Dial with us for SNL UK, Color Theories By Julio Torres, DTF St. Louis, The Lowdown's first-season finale, and Last One Laughing UK. Dave celebrated a Netflix-programming Tiny Triumph, and Tara made an arresting case for a fifth-season Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Laura Dern won, Star Trek's modern franchises lost, and clear eyes and full hearts couldn't lose in a sports-centric Game Time. Start your sol off right with an all-new Extra Hot Great!

    X: Waking Up With The David Letterman Show

    In 1980, before Late Night and The Late Show, David Letterman had a morning show -- and Aron made this show watch the second episode and discuss it: Edie McClurg bits, awkward news reading, and more anti-constipation advertising than seems healthy. You Asked EHG about game shows turned Britbox mysteries and little-known tracks from well-known bands. Our esteemed colleague Adam Grosswirth pitched a snappy comeback for the Tiny Canon, and we listed Not Quite 11 March holiday-episode ideas and near-miss rhymes. Last but not least, we bent over at the waist to power-rank the top cast of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Put down that highly toxic rug shampoo and join us!

    Giving The Gift Of 1980 Commercials

    This is an un-vaulting of EEHG 388. 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/ehg-607/

    MAR 13 • SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

    X: The Scarpetta Post-Mortem

    Prime Video's Scarpetta, based on the book series, is about a Chief Medical Examiner who might prefer dead bodies to her troubled family members; we discuss whether it had to do so much so fast, and so exhaustingly. Ask EHG invites us to consider (among other things) the fashion trends we'd like to come back and what show we'd pick for a Kraft Macaroni & Cheese TV tie-in. Sean pitches SNL's Kristen Stewart-driven Totino's Pizza Rolls commercial parody for, naturally, the Tiny Commercial Parody Canon. We name the week's Not Quite Winners and Losers; Stephanie puts the latest season of Love Is Blind on the Green Screen; and we wrap up with an Extra Credit on the items we would pack for Survivor. Put down your bone saw and listen! EPISODE NOTES https://extrahotgreat.com/eehg-400/

    Is Rooster A C**k-A-Doodle Doo Or A C**k-A-Doodle Don't?

    The third Bill Lawrence show to début or return in 2026 Q1 is Rooster, loosely "What if Carl Hiaasen had a daughter he needed to help through her divorce from a fellow prof at a New England liberal arts college by taking a job there?" College English instructor Robert Krut returns to discuss whether it's worth auditing. Around The Dial lands on Vladimir, The Fall And Rise Of Reggie Dinkins, Chris Fleming: Live At The Palace, The Lowdown, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, and Young Sherlock. Bobby pitches the 9-1-1 episode "Karma's A Bitch" for induction into The Canon. Then, after identifying the week's Winner and Loser (promulgating a conspiracy theory along the way), we go to the head of the class for Non-Regulation Game Time. Get yourself some warm nuts and join us!

  8. X: Welcome To You're "Doomwatch!"

    MAR 10 • SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

    X: Welcome To You're "Doomwatch!"

    For the supporter perk series “Three Of These” for 2026 we're looking at three different British Sci-fi series of the 1970s starting with the early rat-infested episode of the weird science shit watchdog organization program Doomwatch. Join us as we find out why London children, pets and good sense are all being eaten by a colony of giant genetically engineered cannibal super rats and just how The Department for the Observation and Measurement of Scientific Work is going keep Britain safe from the terror of stuffed rodents glued to actor's pants. Why does it say "Welcome to you-apostrophe-R-E Doomwatch?" And why is Doomwatch in quotes? EPISODE NOTES https://extrahotgreat.com/eehg-399/
