  • The Larry Sanders Show 📺 The fake show that launched HBO into the stratosphere

    The Larry Sanders Show 📺 The fake show that launched HBO into the stratosphere
    Feb 13 2023

    It’s the ultimate behind-the-scenes comedy and it’s the show that launched HBO into the stratosphere. What is it we love about shows that pull back the curtain on show business? The Larry Sanders Show with creator Garry Shandling along with the incredible cast that  included Jeffrey Tambor, Rip Torn, Wallace Langham, and others did it better than everyone else, seamlessly mixing cutting jokes with effortless charm. Every famous star lined up to be a guest on the fictional talk show, from Robin Williams to Drew Barrymore to Jeff Goldblum. Check out hosts Emily and James chatting all things Sanders. No flipping!

    Married… With Children 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Popular and problematic
    Nov 22 2022

    It was naughty… and hugely popular! It also featured early performances from stars like Ed O'Neill, Christina Applegate, and Matt LeBlanc. The Bundys were one of America’s favorite TV families of the 80s and 90s. But as hosts Emily and James look back on the classic sitcom, they cannot help but notice how terribly some of the shows' premises and jokes have aged. 

    Is Ed O'Neill's portrayal of Jay Pritchett on Modern Family his apology for those problematic bits? Was Married... with Children actually the debut of Joey from Friends? And how obsessed was James with Kelly Bundy during his teenage years?
