    22.3 Familiar Faces (Judicial Misconduct), or: Maximum Bob (1998) 3 of 7

    Thanks to some creative changes, Emily and Andrew get to enjoy a "better" episode of MAXIMUM BOB, with guest stars (on BOB not ONESIES) Miguel Sandoval and Lee Garlington bringing some much needed better acting to the program. But there's still lots to talk about as the show tries to retcon out the grossier elements from... two episodes (and one episode) ago. Join our intrepid hosts as they continue this trek through the depths of network dreck!

    22.2 Please Clap (Big Yucks), or: Maximum Bob (1998) 2 of 7

    Emily and Andrew head back to Deep Water, Florida (along with some Miami interlude) for episode 2 of MAXIMUM BOB, which does indeed involve a (living) white woman trying to force a dead Black girl's ghost into her body so that actual child can lose her virginity to a gentleman of the living white woman's choosing. They don't actually have the scenes talking about it because the girl's consent is never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever considered. Barf. Also R. Lee Ermey guest stars and technically gives the best performance on the show so far. Only five more.

    22.1 Disneyfied Misogyny (Into the Breach), or: Maximum Bob (1998) 1 of 7

    From the producers of WILD WILD WEST comes MAXIMUM BOB, Emily and Andrew's latest trek into ABC dreck, this time after they were bought out by the Mouse House. So the racism, sexism, and classism are all Mickey-approved. Beau (Jeff's agent didn't even respond) Bridges stars as an average Republican judge who wants to execute his way into the governor's mansion. Other people are in it, though they don't put it on their sizzle reels either. It's terrible, our hosts aren't thrilled (Andrew less so because he has to complain about Barry Sonnenfeld's hacky tv direction), but they get through it. And are terrified for what comes next.

  4. 21.11 Maybe This Time (Is This Thing On?), or: Three's a Crowd (1984) 21+22 of 22

    MAR 16

    21.11 Maybe This Time (Is This Thing On?), or: Three's a Crowd (1984) 21+22 of 22

    Andrew and Emily complete the arduous task of watching THREE'S A CROWD, discovering the series's last ditch attempt at renewal--which involves giving Mary Cadorette material again (sort of)--almost makes for a tolerable sitcom. Of course, there's also some terrible material to talk about, but it's offset by the show realizing Vicki can do things! On screen even! Plus, Jessica Walter does show for the finale, which means good outfits that she better have gotten to keep.

  5. 21.10 Uncredited Cameo (Surf's Up), or: Three's a Crowd (1984) 19+20 of 22

    MAR 9

    21.10 Uncredited Cameo (Surf's Up), or: Three's a Crowd (1984) 19+20 of 22

    Emily and Andrew have reached the penultimate ONESIES of the season and "Three's a Crowd" does not disappoint. Between Jack and Mr. Bradford's bonding episode and then Jack getting addicted to culinary fame, there's plenty for our hosts to discuss as Vicki (Mary Cadorette) "returns" to series promenance but only with bad material, and--of course--Jessica Walter has a fantastic wardrobe. We're almost to the finish line, folks, almost there... Join us!

    1h 2m
  6. 21.9 Magic Mulkku (Forget My Name), or: Three's a Crowd (1984) 17+18 of 22

    MAR 5

    21.9 Magic Mulkku (Forget My Name), or: Three's a Crowd (1984) 17+18 of 22

    Emily finally gets the Richard (LARRY) Kline guest spot she was waiting for and it's a loathsome affair. Our intrepid hosts sort their way through it all, including first getting to talk about another Jack sucking up to Mr. Bradford episode, but, hey, at least Jessica Walter shows up (to give awful advice while looking fabulous) and there are sets to talk about.

    1h 10m
  7. 21.8 Sans Creeps (E la nave va), or: Three's a Crowd (1984) 15+16 of 22

    FEB 19

    21.8 Sans Creeps (E la nave va), or: Three's a Crowd (1984) 15+16 of 22

    Well, Andrew forgot what the episodes he and Emily discussed were about until he was gathering cover art and then it all came back. Buckle up for another fun episode where our hosts discuss sororities, surfer girls, lying to your girlfriend, more lying to your girlfriend, getting mad at your girlfriend for being smarter than you, even more lying to your girlfriend, and hijinks. It's a slog, with the first episode about Jack and a co-ed, and the second episode about Jack competing with Vicki (though she doesn't know they're competing, he's just manipulating her). It's so much fun! Join us!

    1h 22m
  8. 21.7 Vicki, Qui? (Comedie Physique), or: Three's a Crowd (1984) 13+14 of 22

    FEB 11

    21.7 Vicki, Qui? (Comedie Physique), or: Three's a Crowd (1984) 13+14 of 22

    Officially passed the halfway point (the point of no return?), intrepid hosts Emily and Andrew discover THREE'S A CROWD still has some surprises in store--like how little the show can give second-billed Mary Cadorette. They also get to discuss some undeniably amusing physical comedy, how nice it is when Robert Mandan isn't in an episode, how much they miss Jessica Walter, and so much more!
