Two ex-contestants from RuPaul's Drag Race see their web series graduate to a half-hour weekly comedy show on Viceland, so Mark Blankenship is here to help us spill the tea on The Trixie & Katya Show! Around The Dial spins to the series finale of The Mindy Project, Season 2 of The Girlfriend Experience, ABC's new high school musical special Encore, and Rolling Stones: Stories From The Edge, before Tara gets another chance to master the Pickle And Peanut theme song. Mark presents Insecure's "Hella LA" for The Canon, and then after calling out the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that'll have you whipping off your bra and/or breathing fire.

Frankie Shaw's new Showtime sitcom about a single mom in South Boston shows some promise, but did it make most of the panel -- including guest Stephanie Early Green -- too uncomfortable too continue? We discussed that, cute TV toddlers, and protagonists who don't learn before going around the dial with Rosehaven, 90 Day Fiance, a Netflix doc on Joan Didion, and The Pickle & Peanut Challenge. Tara took us to Detroiters with her Canon presentation, and Jordan Peele was this week's Winner, while our banned-men Loser list got rull long. Who was the odd man out in this week's Game Time?

As yet another Margaret Atwood novel gets a TV adaptation, Allison Lowe Huff and Extra Hot Game Time impresario Rob Hartmann join us to talk about Alias Grace, Netflix/CBC's period prison drama. Tara and Allison discuss whether Mike Rinder has become The Pierce of Leah Remini: Scientology And The Aftermath, or if Remini and her nails are already an unstoppable team without him. Around The Dial takes us to At Home With Amy Sedaris, Shetland, Stranger Things, and Pickle And Peanut(and to a mea culpa regarding recent episodes of Little House On The Podcast). We ponder whether "Missing Time" is a Nonac-worthy episode of Miami Vice, and then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that knows its worth.

Our esteemed colleague Jeff Drake is back -- and so is our esteemedest producer, David T. Cole -- to discuss Too Funny To Fail, Hulu's documentary on the much-anticipated The Dana Carvey Show and its ignominious end. After a Robin Williams-ectomy was proposed, Dave got the blues in his I Am Not A Crackpot segment, and then we went around the dial with Mom, American Vandal, Chance, and The Deuce. Tara hoped an episode of Better Things would be better enough for the Canon, Kardashians and Benson fans were winners and losers, and there was once a man from Nantucket...who wrote Game Time. Sort of. Alphabetize those network notes: it's time for an all-new Extra Hot Great.GUESTS👤 Jeff DrakeTOPICSLead Topic: 🤣 Too Funny To Fail Lead Topic: 🍼 The Dana Carvey Show I Am Not A Crackpot: 🤪 Don't let all your lighting look blueAround The Dial: 🍻 Mom Around The Dial: 🎨 American Vandal Around The Dial: 🌉 Chance Around The Dial: 🫦 The Deuce The Canon: 🌴 Better Things Winner & Loser: 👍 The KardashiansWinner & Loser: 👎 Showbiz men getting outed for sexual misconductGame Time: 🧠 TV LimericksNOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on the episode 175 page on ExtraHotGreat.com🐦 Jeff Drake on Twitter

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?

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.GUESTS👤 Heather Cocks👤 Jessica MorganTOPICSLead Topic: 🕶 Dynasty (2017) Around The Dial: ✏️ Undercover High Around The Dial: 🩺 Grey's Anatomy Around The Dial: 📣 Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team Around The Dial: 🚨 Law & Order: Special Victims Unit The Canon: 🎞 Mystery Science Theatre 3000 Winner & Loser: 👍 Debra MessingWinner & Loser: 👎 Project Runway All Stars Georgina ChapmanGame Time: 🧠 King Of Iconic TV Fashion MountainNOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on the episode 173 page on ExtraHotGreat.com🐦 The Fug Girls on Twitter

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.

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.
