73: First Kiss

PEN15 vs. The Society

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, TV Winner selects our favorite “First Kiss” episodes. We’ve got quite a combination of shows today. Listen here.

This week we look at that awkward time when people who aren’t straight have to announce to everyone what their sexuality is. Fun! (Or..not). It’s the coming-out episode! This episode has a brief look at the history of gay characters coming out on TV, and a discussion of two recent episodes that give us some much-needed bi representation as well as a very adorable “wee lesbian.”Listen and download here.

Episode 62: Birthday Party

High Maintenance vs. Friends From College

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, let’s dish on some drama, and watch an episode or two! That’s right today TV Winner looks at two birthday parties on two under-seen but pretty good shows. We talk about aging, mom issues, complicated affairs, and bad gifts! Listen here.

Episode 52: Real Time

Seinfeld vs. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

This week TV Winner looks at episodes that take place in “real time.” These also may be the most tonally different episodes we’ve ever paired together! Listen here.

Episode 48: Romantic

Skins vs. Schitt’s Creek

This week we get a little bit “in our feels.” It’s all about episodes that make us think of romance! Listen to our thoughts here.

Episode 37: Homage

Dear White People vs. Psych

Yeah, homage is different from parody and we talk about why again here. Or, we try to. Either way, we have a kind of Twin Peaks redemption in this episode and that makes it worth it. Listen here.

Episode 31: Valentine’s Day

Happy Endings vs. 30 Rock

Valentine’s Day: is it a holiday, or is it all made-up? We get into it! Listen here.

Episode 24: Christmas

Pose vs. Community

Yes, the most wonderful time of the year–the Month of Holidays on TV Winner–is still happening! We tackle the Big Boy Christmas today, and it’s very seasonal indeed. Listen here!

Episode 21: Thanksgiving

Gilmore Girls vs. Master of None

Holidays give us PUH-LENTY of TV episodes to talk about, so you can bet we’re going to dive into our favorite Thanksgiving episodes. And, yeah, we judge the food. Listen here!
