It's episode three of season one! Meryl & Liz gab about whether or not Grandma Saracen is a witch, what problematic things are said in this episode (even by 2006 standards), and who we're siding with in this episode's love triangles.

Liz & Meryl chat about "Git'er Done," episode five of Friday Night Lights, season one! We finally see who starts in the Big Game against Arnett Mead and what dramatic end this episode brings for Coach. We also meet Connor Hayes, a developer from L.A., who never again returns to this television show. We hate him all the same.

Liz & Meryl are ill-equipped to discuss the problematic elements of this week's season one episode, "El Accidente," in which one character makes a false accusation against another. Tim and Lyla bust Street out of his rehabilitation facility but a great day ends with Street getting stabbed in the back.

Liz & Meryl compare Landry's dating advice to Smash's and praise Tami for not just her hair but also her sage guidance counselor wisdom in this ep full of good advice. We're a third of the way into season one!
NOTE: There were some technical difficulties in recording this ep, in case some of our edits sound a lil' abrupt. Thanks for your patience!

Liz & Meryl break down episode nine of season one! We talk about people showing different sides of themselves: We've got Gatling Smash versus Dillon Smash; We've got Liar Tim/versus Game Hero Tim; we've got QB1 Matt versus actual, dorky Matt. Plus, we've got a ~Date Night Look~ for Julie and a LOT of thoughts.

In the last episode, we saw what happened to Riggins when his affair came out, but what about Lyla? Turns out it's different for girls. Liz & Meryl break it down in this ep!

We're halfway through season one! Jason and Lyla don't know where they stand with each other. Matt's dad waltzes in and f**ks up everything he possibly can. WAVERLY IS HERE, praise Jesus.

Oh man, Mama Smash is SUPER upset when she finds out Smash's secret and confronts Coach. Matt's dad peaces out of his parent duties because Iraq sounds preferable. Buddy tries to show Lyla there are other dudes in the world other than Jason Street. Tyra continues to be awesome. Meryl and Liz fantasize about a Collette Women spinoff.
Omg it's the powderpuff game episode, y'all! Also the one with all the racism. Mac's comments to a reporter draws backlash and Tyra takes out some aggression on Lyla.

"Hey, Guidance Counselor-Tami, should Coach fire Mac?"
"Yes."
"Hey, Wife-Tami, should Coach fire Mac?"
"Yes."
"Hey, Friend-Tami, should Coach fire Mac?"
"Yes."
Guess, what, Coach doesn't fire Mac, but Mac rallies with a deus ex move, protecting Smash from some racist cops, and now somehow everything's OK. Also, Matt and Julie are officially BF/GF.

Julie wants to have sex, and Matt, Coach, and Tami freak out about that. Also, Tim's dad makes Matt's dad look like father of the year. What an episode to release on Father's Day weekend. Grandma loses her tapioca pudding; Liz and Meryl lose their minds.

Buddy turns into a psychopath with the help of pork chops and Magnum, PI. Lyla almost gets free of this dead-end relationship with Jason. Angela breaks her butt, so Tyra upgrades to a new mom: Tami! Waverly skinny-dips, but sadly this is mental illness and not just wild teen stuff. Meryl's cat meows, and we left it in as an easter egg.

...Are the Taylors moving to Austin? Will Julie dance with all the other ballet-ers? Does Jason make the quad ruby team? What's going on with Tim and that single mom next door and will the answer give Meryl & Liz a joint brain aneurysm? All this, and more!

Tim's Beyoncé, Jason loves Oprah, Buddy makes a chemical spill all about himself, a cow makes Connie Britton laugh, and Meryl and Liz write FNL/Bring It On fan fiction. Oh, and the Panthers are going to state for realsies this time.
