Thu, 01 Oct 2026 09:00:00 -0500

This week TVPL packs up their RV and heads to Albuquerque for the pilot of Breaking Bad and our 200th episode! Fresh off of being named the Best TV Show of the 21st Century by the New York Times, we revisited its iconic pilot and discuss the long road from page to screen, the joys of watching someone be really good at their job even when it’s making meth and answer some bonus inflight questions in honor of 200 episodes of TVPL! Does this pilot live up to the lofty expectations set up by the New York Times? Well as Walter White himself once said, “someone cooked here.”

In the pirate studios Geoff, Mike, and Rich sat to discuss their thoughts on the 2003 sitcom Arrested Development.

What a treat for the start of the year! We held Carl Tart’s eyes open Clockwork Orange style and forced him to watch Clipped! The dramatized retelling of the Donald and Shelly Sterling scandal that resulted in him being forced to sell the LA Clippers. Is Carl arguably the most notable Clippers fan in the world? Yes. Did we make him watch potentially the worst thing to happen in his entire fandom of the franchise… welp now that I’m writing it… also yes. But was he a good sport about it? Absolutely!

We chat Clippers history, his Carl’s personal fandom story, sports scandals and how they are depicted in general, if V. Stiviano is a sports folk hero, the performances, Lavar Burton and of course… the casting of the Clippers players.

Catch Carl as a writer on Saturday Night Live (am I spelling that right? We haven’t heard of it) and also as a cohost of Hollywood Handbook, XoXo Bada Bings Sopranos Podcast and of course on stage at UCB in NYC and LA!

What can we say about Mad Men that you don’t already know? The dozens of awards, the 8 years of critical acclaim, it’s appointment viewing TV status that reigned almost since episode one.

Join our deep dive on the birth of this show, the emergence of cocktail culture, and so much more.

It’s REBA! Starring SNL vet Kenan Thompson (aka Reba McEntire), this show originally started under a different name and premise all together, but became the southern living sitcom to end all southern living sitcoms.

With a pilot cast boosted heavily by an appearance from Nell Carter, Reba became a syndication darling and it’s easy to see why. So come grab some ersters on a half shell and get the camera ready for a shotgun wedding, It’s Reba!

What do three guys who went to college in the midwest know about Dairy? An awful lot. Derry? Well that’s a new one.

This week the guys do Derry Girls! The BBC4 coming-of-age comedy taking place in embattled Northern Ireland. From show runner Lisa McGee comes a smattering of her own high school stories and memories with sharp, hilarious writing. We follow a 16 year old Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), her cousin Orla (Louisa Harland), and best friends Clare and Michelle (Nicola Coughlan and Jamie-Lee O’Donnell) in the 1990’s as the Troubles raged but neared their end.

The show found a global audience after Netflix grabbed the rights and the rest is history. Join us this week for a truly terrific high school comedy.

Give us some more, time in a dream, give us a pod, that we can stream. It’s time to go back to school! It’s NBC’s weirdo tentpole comedy, Community!

While you can probably take a wild guess that Max, Geoff, and Rich are all big fans and that they will just gush over this show. There are a lot of things to unpack. With tremendous cast and writing comes a complicated legacy and bizarre network choices that make this show rise to peak fandom on uncertain ground. While it’s easy to look back on this truly A++ cast and say “duh of course this is a hit” this show took a lot of chances and was the launching pad of some massive careers. Donald Glover, Gillian Jacobs, Alison Brie, Joel McHale, John Oliver, Yvette Nicole Brown, Danny Audi, Jim Rash, Dan Harmon, and Chevy Chase… hard to imagine all those big names together at once now.

The guys talk exposition excellence, casting choices, bottle episodes, and more, so make sure to find la biblioteca and join our study group on Community.

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 06:10:00 -0500

Vampires? Teens? History Homework? It must be 2009 babyyyyy! This week is the CW's best performing pilot of all time. It's the Vampire Diaries!

The hit show that's not taking advantage of the momentum of Twilight at all. The show is based on the eponymous book series by L.J. Smith and ran for 171 episodes. (That's a lotta blood suckin') The boys cover the banging soundtrack that's straight from your iPod mini and a teenage swoon-worthy cast. Vampire Diaries centers around Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), an orphaned teenager living in Mystic Falls Virginia as she slowly discovers her own powers while falling in love with a vampire 140 year older than her (problematic much??). Whether you're a massive fan of the show, or if you're brand new to the Diaries, follow along, we want to hear what you think of the pilot!

Cue up ‘Come Fly With Me’ and pour yourself a big ol martini, it’s time for a drama set in the golden age of flight!

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 07:30:00 -0600

Look, you’re going to have to level with us here. We didn’t do the original Swedish one, we chose the one with three massive actors in it. Cowardice? Maybe. Is it more popular? Ja, Ja, a million times Ja. Strap on your giggle suit, this show is a barrel of monkeys! If the monkeys set themselves on fire, were sex trafficked by corrupt politicians, and were doing vicious revenge killings all around Sweden. But this show isn’t all shenanigans and japes, there’s also some real drama here! You also get killer performances by Sir Kenneth Branagh (Oppenheimer, MacBeth, Murder on the Orient Express) Tom Hiddleston (Thor, Midnight in Paris, Avengers) and Nicholas Hoult (Renfield, The Menu, Mad Max Fury Road) So grab a big bag of Ahlgrens Bilar and sit on your IKEA Linanäs and enjoy a super fucked up crime drama!

In all seriousness, this show is just straight fun and whimsical with great sincere moments sprinkled through.

We get a terrific performance from Jill Scott, Anika Noni Rose, Lucian Msamati and a massively welcome appearance from Daniel Oyelowo and freaking Idris Elba??

Welcome to International Month! Every episode in February will be about show not made in the US, so come along with us for a real no brainer of a pick. We take to South Korea for the brain child of Hwang Dong-Hyuk and follow the story of Seong Gi-hun, a deadbeat dad with a gambling problem seriously in-debt. He gets the opportunity of his dreams to win billions of won and keep partial custody of his daughter, and soon realizes he’s playing with his own life.

You - Flight 71

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 10:30:12 -0600

This week on TVPL the Pilots discuss the TV show 'You'. Not “you” per se, but maybe all of “us?” Like categorically “you” could be “me?” No, not “you” specifically, “you” in the sense of really anyone, the royal “you?” No, that’s not the right “you.” Actually maybe it’s not “you” like “us” maybe it’s just “you” as the seasonal hyperfixation of “you”. Third base.

Anywho, they cover everything from the show's origin and creators Sara Gamble and Greg Berlanti, the portrayal of the main character Joe Goldberg by Penn Badgley, the stylistic choice of internal dialogue, and the unsettling and charming nature of the show. Joe's manipulation tactics, some outdoor activities and the expert camera work in the show. Stay tuned for a wild in-flight question and a thank you to all of our frequent flyers.

Xena Warrior Princess - Flight 70

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 07:23:00 -0600

Xena?? We xeen the whole damn episode!

Apparently the ancient Greeks invented the Spin-Off. The guys tackle this beloved Hercules character that got her very own action thriller series. Lucy Lawless stars as a warrior, hero of the commonfolk, and gay icon! Look, is it Breaking Bad? No. Is it a campy nerdy property with goofy sound effects, you betcha.

Come see what's left the guys shaking their head and riding along with Xena, the second most popular syndicated show of it's time! Bonkers!

The guys pin their pilot wings to their bespoke $10,000 suits and head over to the inexplicably long USA pilot about a top New York City law firm. Tonight is gonna be a movie, because this pilot is as long as one.

The show captures the life and career of super lawyer Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) and his new wunderkind protege Michael Ross (Patrick J Adams). Also turning in exceptional performances are Gina Torres, Sarah Rafferty, Rick Hoffman and the Duchess of Sussex herself, Meghan Markle.

A tribute to Captain Raymond Holt, Mr. Andre Braugher.

What more can you say about this show than nearly perfectly written characters and non stop goofy premises? We dive into the FOX darling that should have been NBC darling, Brooklyn 99. We get introduced to almost every member of the full and final cast except for Hitchcock and Sully, so let's get reacquainted with our favorite members of the NYPD. Jake (Andy Samberg), Amy (Melissa Fumero), Terry (Terry Crews), Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio), Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz), Gina (Chelsea Peretti) and of course Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher).

2023 Year in Review - Flight #67

Thu, 28 Dec 2023 07:22:00 -0600

It's the End of Year Spectacular! Thank you all for staying with us as we watched more TV than we did during lockdown.

While we objectively LOVED every show we covered this year, unfortunately there were some shows that came out in 2023 that weren't up to snuff! Can you believe it?? BAD television??

Well it's true, and the guys watched three shows that sadly will not see the bright lights of 2024! Geoff and Max got bit by the IP bug choosing to do the TV show versions of National Treasure and Grease, with Disney+'s 'The Edge of History' and 'Rise of the Pink Ladies' respectively. Rich went the route of the frenzied social media critic and chose a chaotic pick of HBO's 'The Idol' starring The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp.

Will the guys find anything nice to say about these three short-lived shows? Will Max even be able to find his show since it was fully scrubbed from streaming? Start putting all your favorite shows on DVD's again and find out!

Wed, 27 Dec 2023 15:43:33 -0600

What happens when you take the seriousness and rhetoric of the West Wing and make it about sketch comedy? A record-breaking successful pitch to TV networks! So why can't we find the show anywhere? What went wrong?

We invite friend of the pod, author and comedian Lana Schwartz (New Yorker, Build Your Own Romantic-Comedy) to dissect the biggest swings and misses of a show that really everyone was banking on. We talk about the ubiquitous Sorkin writing style, the amazing cast, and the oodles of cash thrown around for what was sure to be the next hit.

Well anywho, here's our episode about the pilot of Scandal. We're talking about the episode that launched 1,000 binges. Scandal is our next foray into the Shonda Rhimes universe and who better to lead us there than our Ambassador to Shondaland Korama Danquah (check her out on our Grey's Anatomy and Glee Episodes!)

We talk about turning Sunday morning cartoons into gritty TV shows, the legitimate theater, and why the entire town of Riverdale is so horny!!

We also tackle the subjects you’ve been curious about like if implied twincest is ever okay in TV, psychotically-timed lesbian kisses and high schoolers with 2% body fat. Come aboard and buckle up it for this slightly uncomfortable, horny, tongue-in-butt-cheek ride from Greg Berlanti.

Thu, 08 Jun 2023 07:00:50 -0500

Carrie voice: You know, in New York is a lot like a packed airplane. It's uncomfortable, full of forced interaction, maybe a bad smell or two, and it requires faith in many forces beyond your control, but at least there's a Cinnabon when you get there. Okay maybe it's not like a plane ride, but you know what is? The entire theme of the podcast!

You're in for a treat, returning champion Rosey Blair (@roseybeeme on Instagram and TikTok) is back and we're waxing poetic on dating, film stylistic choices, the differences between the pilot characters and where the show really goes. It's full of fun facts, goofy jokes, poignant thoughts, and well, just listen to it alright?

...

Oh you know what I could have been clever about landing in Charlotte, that could have been funny. Oh well.

As we celebrate the end of the road for HBO's richest, backstabbin'est, swearin'est show, we invite co-pilot Anthony D'Almeida (Jimmy Kimmel Live!) to the cockpit to break down how we got here. From humble beginnings as a follow to Westworld, Succession has taken on countless lives of its own in social media fandom for its high stakes and satirical stab at nepotism, wealth, and corporate America. It's a dense episode, so strap in, we're gonna get geeky on this one!

I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith – as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again.
