About this episode
Sometimes American remakes of British comedies are big hits, like The Office ! And sometimes they're not, like Taskmaster . Where does The CW's take on Would I Lie To You? land? Panel show aficionado Dan Cassino returns to discuss it. Around The Dial takes us through Minx , The Ultimatum , Beforeigners , Julia , and Atlanta . Dave S. uses his Extra Credit to challenge us to reinvent the dating show à la The Courtship (except...good). Listener Françoise pitches the Top Chef All-Stars episode "Restaurant Wars: One Night Only" to The Canon. Then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, tag! It's on to a Game Time full of taglines. You won't want to miss this one, and that's the truth!
