IT'S GARRY SHANDLING'S SHOW SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 and IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA SEASON 17 EPISODE 1: Reviewed!


Hello hello podcast people! This is another edition of your favourite podcast, The Cultural Content Consumption Appraisal Hour. This week we’ll be reviewing all sorts of shit. But mainly sitcoms. American sitcoms. One super old one in its first flush of life and one super new one in it’s seventeenth bloody season. So it’s all kinds of contrasts on the show this week. 


More contrasts include one tall host and one short host. Not that you can hear this on this (currently!) audio-only programme. One of us wants to have sidebars and tangents and do bits. The other one means business and wants to do the show we have promised the people we will do. One of us wants to believe the scores that are true. The other one wants to also believe those, after he learns that these scores put him slightly ahead lol. But really, only one of us wants to win the show. The other is happy just to have a show. Who is who? Actually I don’t even know anymore. But I’m sure that at this point we’re both actually kinda n’aww [insert a Zach Braff monologue regarding something life affirming over some indie rock here]. 


Now for one final time (PLEASE???) let's see the continuity of the UNOFFICIAL AND VERY WRONG SCORES:

Jeffrey: 11

Christopher: 12


Right? Every one see those. Well ... refer to Jonny's IMPARTIAL WEBSITE cccappraisalhour.show for some scores that have not been corrupted by dark money and podcasting polititcs!

Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: Jeffrey was innocently asking if the It’s Always Sunny crew had ever been cancelled before and … let’s just say … he tried to respond to my question lol.
