In honor of 'Riverdale's return this week, enjoy our re-release of TV. Watch. Repeat.'s unlocked 'Riverdale' episode!Imagine, if you will, a 'Riverdale' in an alternate universe, where the comics were played for comedy, time travel was a central plotline, and Archie was played by none other than... Louis C.K. Believe it or not, it almost happened.Thankfully, though, we instead got the 2017 release of 'Riverdale' as we know it, a dark take on an old classic starring Cole Sprouse, Lili Reinhart, and

The Simple Life (w/ Claire Downs)

2021/08/02

Before 'The Simple Life,' life was really not all that simple for Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie. The two famous friends were tabloid fodder during an era that wasn't too kind to starlets — and a sex tape and drug possession didn't really help matters. But it did help ratings, so they were given a series, which turned into a massive reality success for Fox. How has the series aged — or increased relevance in a new era? That's what Allison and Kate look to find out, when they're joined by special

Living Single

2021/07/26

It's hard to believe — with the bevy of young-singles comedies on television today — that young working professionals were once ignored by the small screen. Then, in 1993, 'Living Single' came along and changed all that — and so much more. The series, created by Yvette Lee Bowser and starring an ensemble cast of comedy legends, not only broke barriers for women of color on TV, but also went on to inspire an entire genre of television. The series is the focus of this week's episode of TV. Watch

Big Brother

If CBS found success with a perverse version of 'The Swiss Family Robinson' in 2000, it's no wonder the network looked to Orwellian literature for its next big reality series. And 'Big Brother' — originally a hit series in the Netherlands, named for the omnipresent eye in 1984 — proved to be wise investment for the network... even if the first season fell as flat as a bowl of slop. How did that series look back in 2000, and how has it evolved into what it is today? That's exactly the topic of our

Friday Night Lights

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. Even though 'Friday Night Lights' almost did — many times. Despite the beloved NBC-turned-DirecTV series being a fan and reviewer favorite, the series fumbled in the ratings, threatening its existence year after year. But credit sheer tenacity (or the power of Connie Britton's hair) for 'Friday Night Lights' continuing for five seasons, and delivering some of the best television a network has ever delivered. And the pilot? Well, it's nothing less than a

This week, Allison and Kate explore the history of 'Hart Of Dixie,' the CW comedy and Rachel Bilson vehicle that left hearts pounding — and not just because of Wade Kinsella's shirtlessness. In this episode, Allison and Kate chat Wilson Bethel's history with 'The O.C.,' where you might have seen the 'Hart of Dixie' set before, and the evolution of George. Plus, the impossible-to-ignore problems about the celebration of the Old South, and the 'Friday Night Lights' reunion that led Scott Porter to the

There's no such thing as bad press. At least, that's how the saying goes. So perhaps MTV's 'Siesta Key' knew exactly what it was doing when it kicked off with a controversy that led to a mass boycott — and even death threats. But — cue the record scratch — how did we get here? So is the topic of conversation during the latest episode of 'TV. Watch.

The Mindy Project

She's Sandra Bullock! But, mostly, she's Mindy Kaling, the brain behind the 2012 beloved comedy, 'The Mindy Project.' It was a landmark series, and not just because Kaling was one of the few Indian-American showrunners in the industry (not to mention, one of the few women showrunners in the industry). The Mindy Project also fully embraced the romantic-comedy genre — a genre, at that point, that was still largely seen as silly and trite. But if there was anyone who could achieve critical success in

Not 'Gossip Girl' here, to talk about the 2009 premiere of 'NYC Prep,' the short-lived Bravo reality TV series that still lives in our Blackberries. Tune in while co-hosts Allison and Kate cover the history of the series, why it was significant to air on TV in the late 2000s, how difficult it was to find the cast, and exactly where they are now.

The Power of Three might set you free — but it will also set free plenty of dramah. Because, in their latest episode of TV. Watch. Repeat., Kate and Allison found that not only were behind-the-scenes tension high for nearly the entire run of the WB's 'Charmed,' but those tensions still exist to this day. But how did Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, and Alyssa Milano go from good friends living a semi-charmed life, to needing to be forcibly removed from one another in order to continue production

Enjoy our latest episode, a bit of a pet project for co-hosts Allison and Kate. Not just because there's a literal pet involved — the newspaper-delivering cat — but also because it was the series that allowed Kyle Chandler to truly break out in the industry, leading to roles on 'Grey's Anatomy' and, of course, 'Friday Night Lights.' While 'Early Edition' might have paved the way for Chandler, it remains a beloved favorite for fans, making a lasting impression despite only lasting three seasons

In 2007, Vh1 promised us nothin' but a good time when they premiered their latest Celeb-reality series, 'Rock of Love,' chronicling Poison's Bret Michael's search for love. And that's precisely what we got: alcohol-fueled ridiculousness, wrapped up with a chunky belt. In our latest episode, Allison and Kate chronicle the history of 'Rock Of Love,' how real it actually was, and... the highlights. Oh god, the highlights.

It's almost too on-the-nose that 'Happy Endings' did not, in fact, have a happy ending, getting canceled far too soon into its run, just three seasons in. But the comedy starring Casey Wilson, Adam Pally, Damon Wayans Jr., and more, had quite the happy beginning, with a story that involved one of the closest casts in TV history, and a confrontation with Chris Evans.
