Emily and Andrew find themselves in sunny (presumably) California where they find John Ritter, recently promoted from one in a trio on THREE'S COMPANY to... one in a trio on THREE'S A CROWD. But don't worry, instead of his platonic female roommates coddling his ego, it's now his suffering girlfriend. Our intrepid hosts find much to discuss and a fair amount to... compliment? Not to mention disagree about the comedy stylings of Mr. Ritter.

For your listening pleasure, our intrepid hosts have paired the final two episodes of HIGH SOCIETY for review. Listen as they discuss the one where there's a bad pregnancy thing, and the one where there's a bad episode about being horny for Tom Arnold. Yikes on bikes. Though you do get to listen to Emily and Andrew disagree about who it's grosser being horny for, Tom Arnold or Barry Bostwick. And our hosts do seem more excited about next season, but they may just be relieved to have

20.11 Bleeping Gross (You Should Be Ashamed), or:...

2025/12/09

The delightful Doris Roberts and Paul Dooley guest star as terrible human beings from the flyover states. Listen as hosts Emily and Andrew try to negotiate the various levels of grossness--who want to watch Mama Barone rank the races--before getting the absurdist, misogynist body-shaming of the nineties. Joy.

00:32:51

20.10 Into the Abyss (Stop Staring), or: High Society...

Onesies ·

2025/11/30

You'd think the low point of the episode--of HIGH SOCIETY, not ONESIES, as our intrepid hosts earn their "pay" this outing--would be special guest star Erik Estrada debasing himself but no, it somehow continues to get worse as it goes along. Discovering SOCIETY has still further paucities to discover, so close to the finish, leaves hosts Emily and Andrew beside themselves. Makes for a great listen!

00:34:07

20.9 Bad Cameo, Good Cameo (Sally Kellerman FTW), or:...

Onesies ·

2025/11/22

Intrepid hosts Emily and Andrew find themselves impressed with a performance on HIGH SOCIETY and feel the techtonic plates of reality shift. Except it's Sally Kellerman, who maybe just is so good at the job even this show can't bring her down. Bronson Pinchot, however. Wow. But not how you'd think. Also... best HIGH ever?

00:43:13

20.8 Technically Speaking (Calm Down, Quentin), or:...

Onesies ·

2025/11/15

It is, both our hosts agree, probably the finest episode in the series so far and still painfully unfunny and bad. Somehow our intrepid hosts perserve through the tale of Hollywood (and its one sound stage), and what happens when the show decides it hasn't been mean enough to Mary McDonnell yet and she had to suck face with the Bost last episode. Yuck.

00:32:04

20.7 Libidinous Ipecac (And Nausea), or: High Society...

Onesies ·

2025/11/08

Barry Bostwick guest stars on this week's subject episode, playing a self-help guru who makes Mary McDonnell so horny she could die. Listen as hosts Emily and Andrew maintain their sanity discussing the idea of Barry Bostwick as a sex god. Do they actually gag? Mayhaps. Do they shiver? Definitely.

00:41:18

20.6 Outpouring Enthusiasm (Sing on), or: High...

Onesies ·

2025/11/01

Ellie can't write her latest book and Emily and Andrew get to watch Dott try to bribe her into writing it. At least Dott doesn't offer up her underage son as tribute. (MIght've worked, though). Lots of not laughs, meanness, badness, and a truly sad finale. Our intrepid hosts have a swell time.

00:33:20

20.5 A Collection of Bad Ideas (And Specific Cameos),...

Onesies ·

2025/10/27

Can HIGH SOCIETY disappoint? Technically, yes, because Dott's mom doesn't come back to grace in this episode. And, so, intrepid hosts Emily and Andrew get to watch the already awful show resume its free fall in search of its own personal hades. But there's a cute dog, at least.

00:42:54

20.4 Could It Be Worse (Thirty-two percent), or: High...

Onesies ·

2025/10/17

Emily and Andrew discover HIGH SOCIETY can get worse, even as it gets to a plot point Emily's been waiting for since the pilot. Listen as our hosts can't help but give good notes, and discover they don't agree about bad fashion and its place on American television.

00:43:29

20.3 Increasingly Problematic (Love Those Cuffs), or:...

Onesies ·

2025/10/11

The show does not improve and our intrepid hosts, Emily and Andrew, find they have even more things to talk about than they'd like. In addition to talking about the not funny proceedings, they also get to talk about the particular way the show objectifies its female actors. Fun!

00:37:12

20.2 Sophmore Slump (Uh oh), or: High Society (1995)...

Onesies ·

2025/10/03

Through nineteen seasons our intrepid hosts have discovered the difference between pilot episode and regular production--rarely, however, do Emily and Andrew get to talk about what happens when there don't seem to be any lessons learned from the pilot. Join them as they try to figure out why HIGH SOCIETY is such low quality (wokka wokka). Also it's not a mystery, it's godawful writing. But still.

00:40:29

20.1 Please Laugh (Bad, American, Bad), or: High...

Onesies ·

2025/09/27

Emily and Andrew travel back to 1995 and the era of USian adaptations of British (hey, sometimes, French) media with abjectly awful results. Even though our hosts thought they'd be relatively safe since it's Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell, surely they wouldn't be forced to embarrass themselves on CBS every week. Well, dear listener, to that... buckle up and prepare yourself for HIGH SOCIETY.

00:29:00

#19.6 Absolutely Marvellous (No Chance), or: Ms....

Onesies ·

2025/09/09

Emily and Andrew reach the final episode with some callbacks, remembering the breakdown the episode after last week, lots of positivity, and then some negativity. Not about this show but about some plans for our next season, but then Emily reveals an even more amazing selection. Tune in and find out!

00:14:05

#19.5 You Had to Be There (Off Our Game), or: Ms....

Onesies ·

2025/09/02

As they try to catch up with Kamala in 1947 India, Emily and Andrew find themselves in a multiverse where ONESIES episodes are incredibly short. (There's a connected but detached prologue flashback and like two scenes after it... three. It's such a quick episode). Tune in and get ready for next week's season finale and Emily's announcement of the new amazing!

00:38:14

#19.4 Talking About Good Shows Is Fun (Maybe...

Onesies ·

2025/08/25

Emily and Andrew follow the show to modern day (and historical) Pakistan (which, in the MCU, has the street layout of Bangkok), where Kamala and her mother both bond with Grandma, Kamala learns about her power, there's tragedy, joy, and action sequences. And both hosts independently decided to research to talk about the things they like so much in the show! Weird.

00:45:10

#19.3 Sincerely (Sincerity), or: Ms. Marvel (2022) 3...

Onesies ·

2025/08/20

Emily and Andrew find themselves in the middle of another good television program and have to re-orient themselves. They find nice things to talk about--again a re-orientation--such as strong performances and thoughtful integration of culture and history, while also having a very cool action scene!

00:32:10

#19.2 The Mountains of Mansplain (Losing Track), or:...

Onesies ·

2025/08/11

Emily and Andrew head back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe where Andrew starts the mansplain early--they missed the end credits tag from last episode, kicking off a discussion of Marvel watching ettiquette. Or something along those lines. They also lose track when they've got a series with so much intentional character development, though they are able to get on familar footing regarding a pecularily timed late afternoon "snack" and its implications regarding family dinner. Tune in

00:56:52

#19.1 The Stench of Competence (What Are We...

Onesies ·

2025/08/03

Emily and Andrew are off to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, albeit with some confusion about what exactly that setting will entail. Listen as they discuss young adult targeted ficton, competent--and, dare we say it--engaging storytelling, and... good acting? What are they in for?!? (Specifically Emily, who unfortunately finds herself in the fields of mansplaining). Tune in and find out!

00:48:04

18.7 A Double Feature (Bon Voyage Hobthrob), or: The...

Onesies ·

2025/07/28

In this very special double-length season finale (so they could get the show done), Emily and Andrew's adventure through modern streaming series comes to an end (though stay tuned for a not dissimilar announcement for next season), as they no longer have any questions why THE BONDSMAN didn't get a second season. They get to talk about "pointed" characterizations, plot holes, bad acting, bad special effects, bad writing, and egregious ineptitude.
