TV Makes Sense & Comedy Night Podcasted Right

The once-were-Geeks-in-High-School-but-now-proudly-identify-as-Freaks are back with another episode breakdown: this time of the seminal (hey, we used that word right!) series Freaks and Geeks. We went right to the start with the first episode, creatively titled "Pilot".

What were you in school? A nerdy geek? A burnout freak? A bully jock? A... Hufflepuff? Well, regardless that the title breaks kids down into only...

Matt, Sam, and Gus are back with a heart-wrenching and hilarious episode of Scrubs - Season 1, Episode 4, My Old Lady.  Get ready to feel all your feelings and a touch of emotional damage.

This was Matt's first experience with Scrubs in probably 20 years, so if you're also unfamiliar with the show, Sam and Gus deliver a great breakdown of the series as a whole before we get into this episode.  Sam delivers her TE...

The Gang Discusses the Best Episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  Well, according to IMDb, anyways.  Anyone not familiar with the series may think the title is strange, but just remember that "Charlie" in the title is an adjective.

This week is Matt's pick, and along with Gus and Sam, we head over to Paddy's Pub where Charlie is forced to frantically dupe the new health inspector into thin...

TV Makes Sense returns, this time with Sam's first pick: Broad City, Season 4, Episode 4, "Mushrooms".  

Abbi and Ilana go on a psilocybin induced adventure, which starts out magical and fun and in animation - animation that in fact won an Emmy. But, a call from Abbi's boss Dara sends the ladies on a mission to drop off some macrons. Abbi finds herself trying to hide the fact that she's high and tr...

Comedy Night Podcasted Right is taking a summer hiatus and we are proud to present to you our special summer spin-off: TV Makes Sense.

Every other week, Gus, Sam, or Matt will pick a great episode of television and the three will break it down.  The plot, the cast, the behind the scenes info, or even how the episode has affected their real lives.  Because life is messy and unstructured, but TV Makes Sense.

Gus got...

On this very special episode of Comedy Night Podcasted Right, Matt, Gus, and Sam are talking about four Valentine's Day episodes of television.  Well, a couple are pretending to celebrate other holidays, but that's a lie. 

We go back to February 11, 2010, and discuss NBC's Comedy Night Done Right line-up for that night: Community's "Communication Studies", Parks and Recreation's "Gal...

Gus, Sam, and Matt are back at it again, and this time the episode is shorter than the feature length film, "Avatar".

We go back to February 4, 2010, and discuss the latest episodes from NBC's Comedy Night Done Right; Community's "Romantic Expressionism", Park and Recreation's "Sweetums", The Office's "Sabre", and 30 Rock's "Verna".

We also...

Recorded in the depths of winter, today's episode is full Winter Madness on display.  Gus, Sam, and Matt go back to January 21, 2010 to discuss the new episodes of Community, Parks and Recreation, The Office, and 30 Rock that aired that night.  

Matt concludes the tale of Conan O'Brien quitting NBC by releasing his two weeks' notice just as a major natural disaster occurred, and some lessons learned are: Kan...

It's a new year, and we officially begin our new format.  Matt, Gus, and Sam go deep on discussing a night full of NBC Comedy Night Done Right goodness.

Even though there was no new Office, there were plenty of great guest stars to make this a great night of television.

While we may go off on some tangents about wanting to either join the Tune Squad or become pet detectives, disagreeing on How I Met Your Moth...

Comedy Night Podcasted Right is coming back in 2022! 

So sorry about the delay, but after much deliberation, Matt has gone out and found two new co-hosts to help get us all through the wild and wonderful time the Community, Parks and Recreation, The Office, and 30 Rock all aired at the same time.

Much like Dunder Mifflin accounting, we're calling this episode number Keleven so we can squeeze it in.  Listen a...

No new episode this week.  In fact, no new episodes for several weeks, as I'm taking a break - or as they say in the business - a hiatus.

Sorry folks!



I've also used the following site as a jumping off point on learning how to be an ally to Canada's Indigenous people: https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/how-to-support-indigenous-communities-canada/

Please take some time today...

We have arrived at the end of 2009, and we've got four delightful Christmas specials to look back upon today!

The run-times are getting leaner and meaner.  Not that much meaner.  I'm still making fun of Jay Leno; but tonight, Oprah Winfrey gets some criticism too.

On the schedule tonight are the following Community S1E09 - "Debate 109", Parks and Recreation S2E09 - "The Camel", The Office S6E10 - "Murder", and 30...

I also get lost on some other subjects; like how often kid...
