Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV

With Dave still in the field, we've invited Monty Ashley back for a very special episode. Will the "Michael's Gambit" episode of The Good Place and "Parker Gail's Location Is Everything" from Documentary Now! make it into The Canon? And will My So-Called Life's "The Substitute" be inducted into The Nonac, The Canon's evil twin? Listen in and find out!

In our first-ever EHG without David T. Cole, Tara and Sarah recruited Fug Girls Heather and Jessica to help them dissect the Dynasty reboot. Do the kids today care about these iconic characters? Should the show have gone to a streaming or premium-cable network? And should any show be trying to make big business interesting? We went Around The Dial with Law & Order: SVU, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team, Undercover High, and Grey's Anatomy before settling in for the snark of an MST3K Canon submission. We declared a winner and a loser...and everybody and nobody won in a non-regulation Game Time that forced the panel to make some tough choices. Before you bite the head off a cake-topper, take a listen to an all-new Extra Hot Great.

As The Good Place's second season jumps off from its game-changing freshman finale, Kristen Bell expert John Ramos of the Go Pirates podcast on Veronica Mars returns to talk about how Good it actually is! Around The Dial stops at Broad City, Broad City, Halt And Catch Fire, American Beauty Star, and Star Trek Discovery. John pitches Veep's 'Mother' for induction into The Canon, and then it's on to a very organized Game Time. Load up your frozen yogurt and join us!

We're glad Omar Gallaga returned to Extra Hot Great; we just wish we hadn't inflicted Seth MacFarlane's limp and self-indulgent The Orville on him (and ourselves). Fortunately, things perked up a bit when we went around the dial with Outlander, The Good Place, Ken Burns's latest opus on PBS, and vintage ads by Star Trek. Tara was Insecure about her Canon submission, The Bachelor and Zelda Fitzgerald were our Winners and Losers, and Game Time has a lot more mass appeal than we predict our main topic is going to. Set phasers to kill for an all-new EHG!

Narcos reboots for a third season (minus Murphy, not that anyone's complaining), and first-time guest Melissa Locker joins us to discuss all the addictive action! We ask Will Dave Hate This? about ITV's new gladiator-cosplay competition Bromans. Around The Dial stops at American Horror Story, Will Vs. The Future, The Tick, Project Runway, Leah Remini: Scientology And The Aftermath, and the imminent fourth season of BoJack Horseman. Melissa pitches the Designing Women episode 'Killing All The Right People' for The Canon, and then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that really stinks.

Monty returns during the deadest week on the TV schedule, and Tara proposed a TV forcening that had us all pick episodes from the week's deadest night -- Friday -- for each other to watch. We caught up with House Hunters, searched for Bering Sea Gold, survived A Murder In The Family, and tasted Epic Sweets. Then we assessed whether the Animal Kingdom theme is worse than jazz before going around the dial with Ripper Street, Scientology, and the Face Off spin-off. Will Dave hate an upcoming Orlando Bloom project about faerie expats? Did Monty's MASH submission enter the Nonac? And what the helle is going on with the theme songs in Game Time? Stop searching the guide and settle in for an all-new Extra Hot Great.

Netflix's long-awaited Marvel team-up The Defenders arrives...but given how long it was awaited, why isn't it better? Our Two Spotted Dicks pal Adam Grosswirth joins us to discuss. Around The Dial stops at the Claws finale, Episodes, So You Think You Can Dance, and Project Runway, ahead of Dave's musical question: are Netflix's trailer preview screens Worse Than Jazz? Adam boldly makes the case for inducting Smash's pilot into the Canon, and after we name the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time to die for.

Tara and Dave returned from a brief vacay to the carnage of a Fuck/Marry/Kill round of Wagnerian length and scope. Robot cars, starship captains, streaming (ew) services, Debra Messing characters, Golden Girls, Dean Norris, Briscoe vs. Frisco...people, it was terrifying. And exhilarating! And we can't unknow any of it, and if you listen, neither will you. How many times did Crying Dawson get killed? Only one way to find out, in an all-new, extra-large Extra Hot great.

Netflix drops a sequel to its Wet Hot American Summer TV series, and Adam Sternbergh makes his long-awaited return to discuss whether it's as refreshing as an Otter Pop or disappointing as a melted S'More. Around The Dial brings us to USA's new limited whydunit The Sinner, Ozark, and Intervention. Adam boldly proposes the Three's Company episode 'Up In The Air' for induction into The Canon, and after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to another sequel in Game Time.
