Think of a 90s sitcom. Any one. Now think of the stereotypes of a 90s sitcom. That’s right, you’re thinking of The King of Queens. Featuring the legendary Jerry Stiller, a baby faced Patton Oswalt and a shorts wearing Kevin James, it was the last comedy to premiere in the 90s to finish its run on network tv. We’re talking NY sports, old school big screen TVs and the most wait a minute moments we’ve had in a while.

Aye, it’s a fine day for a new TVPL! We’re traveling to the Scottish Highlands to look back on the pilot of Outlander, the fantasy romance series that will have you asking yourself “could I pull off a kilt?” This smash hit from Starz comes to us from the creator of Battlestar Galactica and the director of Rounders, the pairing we never knew we needed. It’s an episode full of magic, mystery and way more Sex and the City references than we expected to make.

Ron Howard wrote this is episode description! Thanks Ron!In the pirate studios Geoff, Mike, and Rich sat to discuss their thoughts on the 2003 sitcom Arrested Development. The story of the Bluth Family, Michel, GOB, Lindsey, and Buster, their parents Lucille and George, and their kids George Michael and Maeby. A tale of wealth and loss, trust and mistrust, about land and sea. But don’t take my, Ron Howard’s, word on it listen to the boys. It’ll be fun. So grab some 3d Doritos, some Mountain Dew Livewire and fire up The Pirate Bay. Let’s watching some Arrested Development how it was meant to be seen. On a tiny buffering screen. Hugs and Kisses, Ron Howard. The director. Arrested Development stars Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Portia Di Rossi, Jessica Walter, David Cross, Alia Shawkat, Michael Cera, Tony Hale, and Jeffrey Tambor. Hosts:Geoff KerbisMax SingerRich Inman
