About this episode
The latest high school-based '80s sitcom to get a revival is HBO Max's 2021 take on Head Of The Class , so Daniel MacEachern -- a fan of the original in its day -- has joined us to talk about whether it's a pass or fail! Around The Dial takes us through Season 2 of Frayed , an update on Married At First Sight , Deutschland 89 , Yellowstone , The Great British Bake Off (or Baking Show , depending on where you are), Project Runway , and the findings of the TV Holiday Corridor Committee. Tara explains why she is NOT a crackpot to think Rick was funnier before his lines got subtitled on Big Mouth . Danny presents the Ted Lasso episode "Trent Crimm: The Independent" for the Canon. Then we name the week's Winner and Loser and close out with a Game Time that has us contemplating celebrity mortality. Get out your notebook -- do kids still take those to class?! -- and listen!
