21: Thanksgiving
November 22, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 35.4 MBGOBBLE GOBBLE, TV BBS. This week we're talking turkeys, colleges, family drama, nipples, and toes. Gather round our television table to listen to us talk about our favorite Thanksgiving episodes in television history. Grab some cider, a bowl of stuffing, and join us as we provide answers to burning questions like how is Lorelei so dumb, does anyone even want the Thanksgiving turkey, does "cancel culture" need some nuance, and whether it's "Nipples-the-letter-N-Toes23" or "Nipples&Toes23." Ha...
20: Gendered Ensemble
November 15, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 89.7 MBGrab ur gender-non-specific-friends, and let's do this. On this week's TV Winner we're talking Gendered Ensembles a.k.a. what happens when TV shows buy into the gender binary and split their characters accordingly. It turns out -- at least in our episodes -- that the trope isn't always as toxic as you might think. Is a smackdown to Katy Perry's "Roar" the most iconic moment of TV history to date? Are gender roles real? CAN YOU FORCE FRIENDSHIPS? We answer these questions and more. Thi...
19: Proposal
November 08, 2018 05:15 - 1 hour - 30.9 MBMarriage proposals: when done right they're surprising, romantic and never in public. You probably have a lot of favorite TV proposals, and so do we! But we could only choose two to rate, so we went with the heartwarming-est proposals from the Schur-niverse (which coincidentally happen in Halloween episodes): Brooklyn Nine-Nine 5x04: "HalloVeen" [Hulu] vs. Parks & Recreation 5x05: "Halloween Surprise" [Netflix] Get social with us @tvwinnerpod on all the stuff.

13: Cliffhanger
September 20, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 42.5 MBWelcome back, TV Fans! Class is in session as we discuss a slightly more technical trope: cliffhangers. Grab a notebook and get ready to dissect the narrative arcs of two series that had us on the edges of our seats... like... decades ago, though. Is Nancy Botwin the feminist icon we don't deserve? Do only pretentious film dudes like Twin Peaks? How's Annie?! We'll talk about all these questions and so much more! You won't want to miss it. Episodes: Twin Peaks 2x22 "Beyond Life and Dea...

07: Birth
August 09, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 18.1 MBThis week Hannah and Beth wade into the murky waters of TV births. How accurate can they really be? Why is that "newborn" so huge? Are there any episodes that don't follow the same childbirth tropes? And will these be the lowest scores we ever give episodes?? We're about to bear down and chomp some ice chips because we are fully dilated and ready to birth this week's winner, ya'll.

It's two very different musical performances from two very different dramas going head-to-head in Episode Six. Will the sexy French Canadian chanteuse win out over the brooding New York cop who is temporarily dead? Yeah, you can probably guess the answer to that. Episodes: Mad Men 5x01: "A Little Kiss" [Netflix] vs. The Leftovers 2x10: "I Live Here Now" [HBO Now/Go] We spend some time recap...
