Holiday Fever

A smorgasbord of outtakes, bloopers and conversations that otherwise didn't fit with our topical approach delivered at a feverish pace.

In this bonus episode, we review the original finale of "Bunheads" and discuss if it actually did make the show that much better. Joining Brandon is recurring guest Mike (Everything Sucks, Darkplace).

This is like when Adam Sandler pays for his vacation with his friends by making a film. Except they forgot to hire writers. Where good shows have character building, instead more are added here. It's nice to see a bunch of familiar faces but it would be nicer to see them contributing to a story. As one reviewer put it, "if Gary Busey looking in the mirror was a TV show". My explanation for this episode is about as constructive as an explanation for this show. A far cry from Milch's previous "Deadwood".Guest: Nate from The (Un)American Football Show

This was when Michelle Wolf was red hot fresh-off her hosting of The President's Ball. Netflix, desperate for fun new content, jumped at the opportunity to give Michelle her own show. Not surprisingly, she shit the bed.There's certainly an audience for these types of shows. I'm not sure Michelle is entirely to blame. But, Netflix inadvertently gave her enough rope to hang herself with. Seriously, who writes as bizarre concept as feeding Amazon's Alexa a lunch meat roll? Especially on a show like this. That's like if Bill Maher filmed himself pooping on Johnny Depp's iPhone while Siri screams "Yummy!"Guest: Novelist Ian Trutt

This features ABC Family going back to the well for a Johnny Sameface move. In what may be reminiscent of shows such as Lizzie McGuire, comes this series based on the hit movie of the same name. It also features one of the most awkward, abrupt and absurdly hilarious ending to any series that we cover. Possibly among all of television history. And it all seemed so unintentional.

They really hate this in Australia! Or maybe that's just our mate, Tom, who has a real problem with the way Jason Ritter runs - he should run back to his dad's balls. This is another mystery/action-drama that seemed to come and go in that post-Lost craze bubble. Not much of an event if you ask us. Guest: Tom Croucher of Zesty Life Hacks

This tv spin-off of the popular novel-turned-film "Out of Sight" casts Carla Gugino in the J-Lo role. While Gugino is undoubtedly beautiful, she isn't given too much to do beyond random, clichè storylines that leave much to be desired. Marshall Sisco (Robert Forster), her private eye father, is given the more interesting stories, and by the final episode has more-or-less been given the main storyline, leaving Karen Sisco a side-character in her own show.Guest: Brion Salazar of Around Comics!

Peter Serafinowicz is an absolute scene-stealer and the best part of this show. Series creator Mitch Hurowitz basically copied his own Arrested Development, right down to Keri Russel looking similar to Portia De Rossi. However it ultimately falls short as Will Arnett simply doesn't have the charm of Jason Bateman. Will Arnett also seems to be the only person upset it was cancelled. Guest: Tony Crumb from God Chat

On the surface, this appears to have nothing to do with the beer or A Streetcar Named Desire. But, Edward Norton makes a cameo only a few years removed from working with Marlon Brando. So, maybe that's an Easter egg or a serious stretch on our part.This niche sketch comedy series aired on Comedy Central in 2005. Giving TV time to former cast members of MTV'S The State and long-time sketch troupe Stella consisting of Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain. Buffoonery in Suit-ery.Guest: Sharaell Hormos

A White House parody during the initial tenure of George Dubya created by Trey Parker & Matt Stone. It's friggin' hilarious and we're disappointed to know the spin-off never happened due to 9/11. The pilot includes a hilarious meeting between President George and a failed abortion fetus. The finale is no letdown either, as we get several vignettes of George in popular sitcom parodies after being fired from The White House. What a Dick!Guest: Dave McDonald
