It's a new year for EHG, and a new journey for The Bachelor. Jeff Drake returns to talk about the special madness of Corinne, plus we pick our winners and wonder whether watching UnREAL has enhanced our experience of the original. The Blotter Presents caught us up with the Menendezes and OJ, and we debated whether Dave would hate Canadian outlaw period drama Frontier before going around the dial with One Day At A Time's reboot, The Young Pope, Sleepy Hollow, and games we play with Siri on Apple TV. Caroline tried to Psych us out in the Canon; the CW lost and NBC News won; and Game Time put us all to work on the chain gang. Can we steal you for a second -- for an all-new Extra Hot Great?

Chris Huff returns for a discussion of The Man In The High Castle -- what works (set design; Smith); what doesn't (Juliana; Joe); and whether we'll finish out the season. The Blotter Presents tipped us to Unsolved Mysteries streaming online, plus the '16 crime shows to marathon over the holidays, before we went around the dial with Rectify, The OA, Fuller House, and Intervention. Chris hoped we'd Just Say Yes to a drugs-are-bad ep of Family Ties for the Canon, and we declared a winner (TV queens) and loser (the County of Kings) before getting on a first-name basis with another Rob Hartmann Game Time. It's the last all-new full-size Extra Hot Great of the year, so dig in!

TV's most famous cooking competition returns for a new season set in Charleston, South Carolina, so we've brought back our official Top Chef correspondent to talk about the rookies vs. veterans format; the problematic setting; and also, oh right, the food. Dave explains why he is not a crackpot for thinking that TV home buying shows should always end with people actually buying homes. Around The Dial takes us to Divorce, Fleabag, and Pitch, before we consider the submission of the Sopranos episode "Funhouse" to the Canon. After naming the week's Winner and Loser, we kick off a new Game Time season with a game that may prove...popular. Choose the right wine pairing and listen!

Allison Lowe Huff is back to talk about This Is Us, the lovably imperfect tearjerker that's occupying the Friday Night Lights lane in our hearts. We bid farewell to The Killing Season, wondered how Noel Crane fit into a true-crime classic, and celebrated a Tiny Twitter Triumph involving poo before going around the dial with Gilmore Girls, Below Deck, Search Party, and Westworld. Listener Matthew submitted a rageful Nonac candidate, the HIMYM finale, and we declared satire a winner and sex a loser (for Showtime) before juggling a hilarious Hot Potato Game Time. This is EHG -- an all-new one. Listen now!
