Spring TV continues to roll on, with finales and premieres giving us plenty to discuss this episode of the podcast. We kick things off as ever with Our Week in TV, starting with another emotional Queen Sugar. Then we talk the finales of The Unicorn and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, followed by a check in with RuPaul’s Drag Race. Next, it’s over to genre, with the premiere of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the midseason finale of Superman & Lois, an overdue The Flash, and a big twist over at Batwoman. Then we head to the season spotlight and dive in with the first season (well, first half season?) of the German neo-noir Babylon Berlin, available to stream on Netflix. Flappers, PTSD, and so many Russians. Tune in for our thoughts, then reach out with your take on the week’s TV.

We continue our journey through the TV of decades past this week on the podcast, heading down to Atlanta to spend some time with Designing Women. The hair, the shoulder pads, and of course, those Julia Sugarbaker rants! Before the DVD Shelf, though, we have a full week in TV to discuss. First we look at the comedies, including the worst called it ever on The Amber Ruffin Show, a relatable Last Week Tonight, and a surprising The Unicorn. Then Kate teases RuPaul’s Drag Race UK and we go long on season 13’s Snatch Game. Over in drama and genre, Kate catches up with Queen Sugar and Wynonna Earp before we talk The Flash and Barry’s new speed-thinking, Kate spoils Noel on the latest developments on Black Lightning, and we round out the week with the finale of WandaVision. Take a listen, then reach out with your thoughts on Designing Women, WandaVision, and the rest of the week’s TV!

There’s plenty to be stressed about in the real world, so this week on the podcast, Noel and Kate present the best de-stresser they’ve found yet: The Muppet Show! That’s right, we play the music, light the lights, and in Kate’s case at least, meet the Muppets as we dive in with The Muppet Show, now streaming on Disney+, for our DVD Shelf. Before that, though, there’s plenty to discuss for Our Week in TV. We kick things off with the return of The Flash and the penultimate WandaVision, then move to comedy for Superstore and DuckTales. Kate checks in with RuPaul’s Drag Race, and then we round out the week with Queen Sugar. Listen for our takes, then reach out with your thoughts on the Muppets and The Muppet Show as well as the rest of the TV you’ve been watching this week.
