The 2018 fall TV season is officially underway, bringing more summer finales and fall premieres and plenty to discuss. Noel and Kate kick things off with the week’s TV, including the double-episode premiere of The Good Place, a MeToo-themed It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, a much-needed self-care catchup with The Great British Bake-Off season eight, the season premiere of Lethal Weapon, and the finale of PBS’ The Miniaturist. Then we dive in with a special DVD Shelf/Spotlight section, looking at the premiere of the Murphy Brown revival, as well as the original ten-season run of the show. Take a listen, then reach out with your thoughts on Murphy Brown, music rights, reboots, and super-secret cameos.

I couldn’t buy Michael’s transformation in season 2 of The Good Place. He’s an immortal non-human being, what we saw would have been an infinitesimal fraction of his existence.
