If last episode didn't leave you on the edge of your seat, desperate for some slow-paced, boring action then you're simply too cool for the Waltons, bro.

Imagine it's the 90s.

In the spirit of the holidays we at the Boob Tube Boys have chosen to say something nice about King of Queens rather than the mean things we would like to say, so here goes:The fat jokes aren't as common this time aroundAnd there we go!

2022/11/26

Ah yes, we all remember our very own transition from a Bart into a man, and like many shows before it the Simpsons decided to take a crack at giving their take on the age old story. Spencer decided Van and Brian were being too safe in picking "good" episodes of the show to cover so he rectifies that by forcing season 27s Barthood into the recording studioThe guys analyze this one as a standalone episode and as a modern piece of a once glorious television program of years past. Does it stand up to
