For episode seven we reach our first sitcom! Yes, it’s time for us to laugh out loud at thetrials and tribulations of the Connor Family as we watch Roseanne!
We also discuss some rather famous Roseanne alumni, the ever changingface of Becky, how Mom could be one of the best sitcoms on TV right now and ourfavourite Jackie moments.
Imagine Bob Hoskins doing jazz hands to music from the 1930s. Yes, we made that face too whilst watching this week’s show: Pennies From Heaven.
We also discuss the U.S. adaptation, an interesting use of lipstick, how to stage a lip-synced dance sequence and our casting choices for a possible reboot.
Jeroen manages to pull out some impressive knowledge as, in
this week’s episode, the Muppet Show is front and centre!
We also talk about Dutch Sesame Street (or Sesamstraat),
famous Muppet cameos, manatees and somehow Peter once again finds a way to talk
about his love of Paul F. Tompkins.
Lateral thinking is the topic of the day as we dissect
British game show Only Connect presented by one of Peter’s intellectual
crushes: Victoria Coren-Mitchell.
We also discuss our desire to amass our own Only Connect
team (third person apply within), University Challenge, Hollywood Game Night
and the peculiar smell of shame.
To open the podcast we ask the age old question: what colouris your Breaking Bad? The answer may (or may not) surprise you as we start our1001 TV Shows podcast with the show on the book cover!
We also talk about Clint Eastwood, the work of Alan Moore,syndication friendliness and Peter’s comedy crush <3
