Welcome to episode 30 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose, the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! Forget fantasy football—join us for fantasy TV. We recently broke down the top 10 kisses, which got us thinking of the top 10 couples on TV. We thought those lists would be too similar, but it sparked another idea. This week, Brooke, Joey, and I discuss our top 10 duos on TV. The only rules were that you could only choose one duo per show, and they couldn’t be romantically involved at any point. There were some truly great picks, many of which were some of the most epic bromances of all time. Sit back with your best friend and try to get an accurate count of the ridiculous amount of times we say “bro” in this episode. Let us know what your favorite duos are! https://ia801501.us.archive.org/21/items/Episode28Parenthood_201506/Episode%2030%20-%20Top%2010%20Duos.mp3

Welcome to episode 29 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose, the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! Forget fantasy football—join us for fantasy TV. On several prior episodes, Brooke had begun noticing how many of our favorite television shows hit their stride during their fourth seasons. This week, Brooke, Joey, and I discussed shows that had their best seasons in their fourth year, then attempted to break down why that was. There were, of course, some arguments, mostly over which season of Game of Thrones is actually the best one. However, for the most part, we were in agreement on when shows were at their best. Listen below, and let us know if you agree that the fourth was the best season for each show. Also, enjoy this non-fourth-season GIF of Peggy Olson being Peggy Olson. https://ia601501.us.archive.org/21/items/Episode28Parenthood_201506/Episode%2029%20-%204th%20Seasons.mp3

Welcome to episode 28 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose, the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! Forget fantasy football—join us for fantasy TV. Our last show centric episode revolved around Parks and Recreation. This time around we decided to look at another show that ended this year and also starts with the letter P. This week, Brooke, Joey, and I are talking about Parenthood. Parenthood has long been a source of contention here on the podcast, and this time around was no different. Though we all agree on Parenthood’s best moments, there’s much discussion to be had on where and how (and even if) the later seasons went sour. Joey stands his ground as a fierce defender of most of the Bravermans as we talk about our top five episodes and attempt the exasperating task of ranking all eighteen members of the family from best to worst. Move to Berkeley, raise selfish children, and listen as we argue heatedly about the best and worst of the show. Where do you fall? Was the show always great or did it lose its steam? And who’s your favorite Braverman? https://ia801501.us.archive.org/21/items/Episode28Parenthood_201506/Episode%2028%20-%20Parenthood.mp3

Welcome to episode 27 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose, the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! Forget fantasy football—join us for fantasy TV. We are headed into spoiler town this week at the podcast. Brooke, Joey, and I broke down our top-10 TV-character deaths. Some deaths chosen were tragic, resulting in visceral, emotional reactions; others were simpler—gateways to great episodes and character moments. Most importantly, though, each one we discussed was impactful, leaving a space in its show that was hard to fill. In the past few years, main-character deaths have become much more commonplace and almost expected. It used to feel safe to be a series regular on a TV show, but programs like Game of Thrones and Grey’s Anatomy have thrown that line of thinking out the window. So, let us know if these were the deaths that came to mind for you. If not, what are some better ones? https://ia801501.us.archive.org/21/items/Episode28Parenthood_201506/Episode%2027%20-%20Top%2010%20Deaths.mp3

Welcome to episode 26 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose, the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! Forget fantasy football—join us for fantasy TV. This week, we are back to our regular rotation of episodes, starting with a new draft. In our most general draft yet, Brooke, Joey, and I assembled teams of four heroes and four villains. We allowed some leeway, as long as an argument could be made (like arguing that Taylor Doose is an evil, evil man). As a reminder, here are the rules for drafting: Your team can only have one character from any given show. Once a character is drafted, they cannot be drafted again. If challenged, you must be able to make an argument that your character falls into that category. Strap in, take a listen, and let us know your favorite TV heroes and villains. Did we end up picking the best ones? Whose team was truly the strongest? https://ia601507.us.archive.org/27/items/Episode26HeroesAndVillains/Episode%2026%20-%20Heroes%20and%20Villains.mp3

Welcome to episode 24 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose, the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! Forget fantasy football—join us for fantasy TV. If you’ve ever considered yourself a citizen of Pawnee, Indiana, this is going to be your new favorite episode. We are back this week to discuss our dearly departed Parks and Recreation. Parks and Recreation had the best comedy ensemble on television for seven years and a cult following that was able to keep the show alive by the skin of its teeth year after year. Last month, the show finally finished its legendary run, and we are already feeling the fallout from knowing there will never be any more time spent with Leslie Knope, Ron Swanson, and crew. This week, Brooke, Joey, and I break down our top five episodes, Andy Dwyer quotes, and manliest Ron Swanson moments. Get a Paunch burger, tune into Nightline with Leslie Monster, and listen in as we discuss Parks and Recreation, about half of which ends up being us quoting Andy Dwyer at each other. Let us know your favorite Parks episodes! https://ia801505.us.archive.org/5/items/Episode24Parks/Episode%2024%20-%20Parks.mp3

Welcome to episode 23 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose, the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! Forget fantasy football—join us for fantasy TV. This week, we are getting a little romantic at the podcast. Brooke, Joey, and I break down our top 10 best TV kisses. There are plenty of classic TV couples to pick from here, and we covered a lot of them—but a few of our choices go even deeper. Some of the best kisses were by two characters who weren’t actually together. Light some candles and pour yourself a glass of wine, because it’s about to get very lovey-dovey in here. Listen below, and let us know what your favorite TV kisses are. Did we miss any big ones? https://ia601503.us.archive.org/18/items/Episode23TopTenKisses/Episode%2023%20-%20Top%20Ten%20Kisses.mp3

Welcome to episode 22 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose, the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! Forget fantasy football—join us for fantasy TV. This week, we break format to have a roundtable discussion. That’s right—no lists, no drafts, just lots of talking. Brooke, Joey, and I are joined by Community Contributor Tamar Barbash to discuss shows that ended too soon—and others that went on too long. Some of the shows we touch on are Freaks and Geeks, Veronica Mars, United States of Tara, Men of a Certain Age, Sports Night, Friends, Parenthood, and Grey’s Anatomy. We talk a lot about how long some of these shows should have been, and Joey reveals his master plan to improve How I Met Your Mother. Listen in as we talk which season of Friends is the best and Joey gets mortally offended multiple times. Let us know what shows you think should have gone either longer or shorter. https://ia801509.us.archive.org/33/items/Episode22Roundtable/Episode%2022%20-%20Roundtable.mp3

Welcome to episode 21 of Clear Lists, Full Drafts, Can’t Lose, the only podcast for fantasy television drafts! Forget fantasy football—join us for fantasy TV. We are back with another draft, possibly our most experimental and interesting one yet. This time, Brooke, Joey, and I are drafting our very own cop show. As a reminder, here are the rules: Your team can only have one character from any given show. Once a character is drafted, they cannot be drafted again. If challenged, you must be able to make an argument that your character falls into that category. We tried to cover as many stereotypical police station archetypes as we could by drafting in the following categories: Captain, New Hotshot, Veteran Detective, By-the-Book Officer, Dirty Cop, and Goofy Sidekick. Listen in as Joey works tirelessly to defend every poor choice he makes, and one of the hosts wins for the very first time. Let us know your picks and which of our fictitious cop shows you’d like to see the most. https://ia801503.us.archive.org/1/items/Episode21CopShowDraft/Episode%2021%20-%20Cop%20Show%20Draft.mp3
