Pilot House

It's a Very Special bonus episode of Pilot House! Sarah and Strangely have a long winter's chat about Christmas specials, Hanukkah specials, and what you should and should not put babies in.

Join us as we recap the past season, discuss how the theme affected our viewing experience, drop an F-bomb, and announce big plans for the future!

After a season full of classic shows, it's only fitting to wrap things up with one of our "scuttlebutt" chats about all our favorite theme songs! We discuss the good and the bad, the expository and the instrumental, the sublime and the ridiculous.

Hey hey, it's a podcast! Sarah gushes and Strangely equivocates about those four long-haired lads -- no, the other ones.

Come join us as we fall in love with America's Sweetheart and America's Tall Drink of Water in the Dick Van Dyke Show! Listen as we gush, giggle, and try to restrain ourselves from rehashing every single one of our favorite bits.

Sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a truly bananas sitcom premise that somehow became an enduring television classic. With Sarah! And Strangely too! (No millionaires were present at the recording of this podcast.)

Due to *gestures broadly* we got off schedule with our editing, but worry not! Nick at Night will be back in two weeks, and today you get a special bonus we recorded as a custom episode for a fan last winter, about the confusingly wholesome Ted Lasso!

The podcast you are about to hear is true, and sadly lacking in math. Sarah and Strangely accidentally watch the 1967 revival of Dragnet, and discuss diegetic sound, drug slang, and verisimilitude.

It's time for more supernatural subversion of sixties suburban stereotypes! Sarah and Strangely watch the first of the two "magical blonde making a hapless dude do reaction faces" sitcoms second, and question whether the original is always best.

What's a scree-um? Who's petite? Is Lurch a Frankenstein? We set out to solve these mysteries and more in this episode, about the ookiest family on television.

When you're sitting on the sofa with a TV in the corner, there's only one thing to watch: I Dream of Jeannie! Join us as Sarah and Strangely reminisce about TV promos, and try to decide where Jeannie falls on the chaos spectrum.

The ultimate camp nostalgia bonanza is here: the live-action 1960s Batman series! Will Strangely and Sarah be able to succinctly summarize the Riddler's circuitous scheme? And who made Strangely say “Daddy”? Find out right now, on this bat-podcast!

Starting our Nick At Nite season off right with the godmother of all sitcoms, I Love Lucy! Listen as Strangely and Sarah muse on laugh tracks, wigs, assholes, and the nature of memory.

Welcome to a totally normal day on the calendar, which brings you a totally normal episode of this podcast, which is obviously about pilots who fly planes. What else would it be about?

Your hosts dive into the strange and murky world of pseudo-educational Hanna-Barbera cartoons with the original SEALAB 2020.
