In this first episode, Eric and Lainee Hersey jump headfirst into the Step by Step pilot—a wild mix of whirlwind romance, ketchup fights, and classic '90s sitcom charm. From Frank and Carol’s impulsive Jamaican “I dos” to the hilarious chaos of blending their two families, this episode is the perfect reintroduction to your favorite TGIF show. Whether you’re here for nostalgia or just to relive the Lambert-Foster drama, we’ve got you covered.
- What’s in a Pilot?: Ever wonder why they’re called pilots? We break it down while questioning Frank’s decision-making skills.
- 1991 TV Throwback: Did Step by Step truly outshine Home Improvement and Ren & Stimpy? Let the debate begin.
- On-Set Secrets: Midwest charm meets California reality—find out where Frank and Carol’s homes really are.
- Character Deep Dive: Get to know Dana the snark queen, JT the prankster, and, well, Brendan… who’s just kind of there.
- Food Fights and Ketchup Chaos: Nothing says family bonding like squirting ketchup during a backyard picnic.
If you love Step by Step, TGIF nostalgia, or just hearing two people passionately overanalyze sitcoms, this podcast is your new jam. Eric and Lainee mix humor, trivia, and a bit of sass to make this rewatch as fun as the first time around.
