Brittany Luse took a break from co-hosting FCN and HBO Docs Club to talk about FOX's newest silly-competition reality show, Domino Masters -- and we all found lots of reasons you should probably just watch "topples" on YouTube instead, including weak chemistry, weaker jokes, frustrating lack of camera coverage, and drama that doesn't come from the craft. Oh, and: it's about 38 minutes too long. We did better going Around The Dial with Winning Time, Survivor, select Euphoria episodes, Top Chef: Houston, and Fast Foodies, and then Tara drove us around New Jersey for awhile with her Ramy Canon presentation.

Mark Blankenship slid into the guest chair (not a euphemism) to discuss Far From Heaven, the line between melodrama and tragedy, and how Todd Haynes's 2002 homage to Douglas Sirk and "women's pictures" lets the paintings that are Cathy and Frank Whitaker become real. Sarah revisits a ten-year-old review that wasn't fair to Quaid's performance; Jeb files his ratings from his score-poisoning sickbed (and unearths another DQ-blocking runner); and we all wonder how to rate a performance that won awards, but isn't very Quaidy.

Two Cents Plus Tax co-host Krystal Farmer came by to talk about The Endgame, an overstuffed and underwhelming procedural that tries to do too much and is assembled from the spare parts of too many early-aughts shows. Why do networks still make shows like this? Do we need The Endgame if we still (seriously!) have The Blacklist? And how is Fedorova writing on the sticky side of Post-Its? We fared better going Around The Dial with Severance, a Married At First Sight update, Creamerie, Inventing Anna, Inside The Mind Of A Con Artist, 9-1-1: Lone Star, and Reacher, and gave TV characters (and hosts) some drugs for Extra Credit.

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we checked out two new TV series and enjoyed them both--but will only continue watching one of them: As We See It, which resolves around three neurodivergent characters who live together as roommates. It can be painful to see the cruelty they experience, but it's also funny and warm and very well-acted. Mentioned: A sibling caregiver story on Once and Again, discussed on the Extra Hot Great podcast [https://www.extrahotgreat.com/392]; actor Rick Glassman (who plays Jack on As We See It) on Undateable [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiuWDWbDu_E]; discussion forum about the show on Wrong Planet [https://wrongplanet.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=400783]; the Parks and Recollection podcast [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parks-and-recollection/id1583327243].We also watched the new sitcom Abbott Elementary, which is cute and funny and sweet and not something Catherine can ever watch again, because the handheld camera work gave her a migraine. Instead, we'll check out The Gilded Age, Julian Fellowes' new show on HBO Max, in which people sit quietly in drawing rooms and would never dream of allowing a handheld camera in their midst. So next week: As We See It, episode 2, "I Apologize for My Words and Actions," and The Gilded Age, episode 1, "Never the New."

The talented EHG Assist team tasked the panel -- plus returning guest Jeff Drake! -- with talking about shows and episodes that shouldn't have worked, but somehow did. We began our theme episode with the late-'70s satire Soap. Do the problematic parts justify the hilarity around them? Is some of the bad acting and slow pacing an homage of sorts to daytime dramas? Should you (re-)watch, or just find a supercut of all the previouslies and next-ons? Later, we went Around The Dial with The Circle, Nailed It!, Pop-Up Video, and Battle Of The Network Stars, before a complete 180 in tone brought us to a Canon submission from 2020's Normal People. AppleTV+ both won AND lost, and then we all updated our quiz résumés for Game Time.

We'd email them back "Ha ha ha, good one, Chet" and go about our business. Now we are told this is a real thing that real nice people do. Value for value? In today's topsy turvy world?

Chomp chomp goes Alioth on He Who Remains variants, and chomp chomp goes the Disney Content Machine on the budding themes and philosophy of Loki (the series, not the character). We were all geared up for an ending that would bring some closure to the ideas the season had been building up to, but instead we got a promise of a second season and an implicit reminder to go see Phase 4 MCU movies. Ah well. We hope you Good Listeners are ready for some more yelling about How Timelines Work!!

When schedulers at the Food Network foiled our original plans for this episode, our returning guest Will Ellis rolled with the punches and joined us to talk about Netflix's bizarre new dating show, Sexy Beasts! Around The Dial takes us through the new season of Married At First Sight, The Real Housewives Of Potomac, Married To Medicine, and Search Party. Last week's guest Sean Pflueger returns...via an Extra Credit question about actors whose range we underestimated. Will presents the RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars: Untucked episode "It Takes Two" for submission to The Canon. Then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, we roar and scratch our way through a Non-Regulation Game Time.
