There's even better options for hearing the same hosts riffing (Time for my stories, twitch events, Cushvlogs, upcoming new Presidents pod, guests on other pods, etc.)
Well they are talking about their identified "prestige TV phenomenon" which they posit is an artefact of the time that reflects the percieved societal decline of that time period, and not even all shows of that time period fit that bill.
That being said, some of the shows they covered I don't think fits the mold they've set, and I don't know how much of their analysis will hold up to scrutiny in the future. I think it's an interesting hypothesis and there's at least some surface-level value to the analysis; it seems to me they're broadly correct that TV is basically the only measurable culture being produced, and I do think it can be representative of broader societal themes of the time.

Ah okay, somehow I completely missed this; I thought it was going to be more of a general survey of popular American TV.

I haven't missed a regular episode since I started listening. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
TIL somebody made a podcast based on a popular subreddit

Big let down. It's almost all TV from the late 90s and 00s. Write what you know, I guess.
That said, if they finish that series and there's not a Roseanne episode, the entire thing will have been a joke.

Literally just worked my way through the FRQNCY release an hour ago and it was good.
