  Speaker 3: law enforcement and they have family dinners where they can't
• 1:20

• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Of course they will.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So, uh, that's on tonight. Uh, it's not an

  Speaker 3: auspicious start to the fall TV broadcast.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Let's all not be there.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Uh, and on NBC tomorrow, uh, doc with Molly Parker
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: is back tomorrow on Fox. It's we're now on season
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: three of a show that apparently somebody watches because, um.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I like Molly Parker.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I know. She's good in this. She's pretty much the
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: only reason to watch. It's one of those kind of
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Fox dramas that just kind of slides by for years.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: That's still on?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: But it's one of the few things on Fox that
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: isn't a game show or a reality show this season.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: There's an actual script involved. Help Molly out with her
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: show there. And also Best Medicine premiered yesterday. for its
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: second season, moves into its regular Tuesday night time slot
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: tomorrow on Fox, right after. So two medical dramas back-to-back
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: on Fox.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Who's in the best medicine?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: That is....
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Zachary Kinto, is it?
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. Is that Josh Charles? Josh Charles, yes.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Josh Charles.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Josh Charles is a big city doctor in a small
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: quirky town.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And isn't he afraid of blood?
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, he is. He's afraid of blood. It's actually a
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: pretty funny show. Okay. Mrs. Frost has been watching it,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: and I'm just like, oh, maybe I should have given
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: that show a second chance.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: It's not bad. On Wednesday, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: are brothers. Boy, bros.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: They're not brothers. They're bros.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: They're bros.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: This is sort of like it's them. It's them playing themselves,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: a version of themselves, and this comes from a story
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: like years ago that came up on a talk show,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: I think, where they might be be related somehow. So
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: they decided, oh, we're brothers. We're going to run with
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: this thing and make it a TV show.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, no, Woody Harrelson knows who his dad is
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: because wasn't his dad in prison?
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: He murdered somebody. Which sounds on brand for Woody Harrelson, really.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: For murder.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And yeah, so there's that. That's on Apple TV
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: starting on Wednesday. And also season 51 of Survivor.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, it starts this week?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Are you going to be there?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I usually am.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Are you going to Fiji?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I guess so.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: We're back in Fiji again. I think that's just where
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: we go.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Now, Fiji. I think they bought a series of islands.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: That's what I heard, yeah. And then they found it
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: was cheaper to do it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Cheaper than renting, for sure. On Thursday, American Horror Story
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Season 13.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Now, ordinarily I wouldn't be interested, but they're bringing everybody back.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Almost everybody, yeah.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: So Zachary Quinto.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I didn't see his name amongst them.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I didn't see his name, but the clown is there. Yeah, yeah. Twisty. Twisty, yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I like Twitchy better.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: What's his name? What's the guy's name? He's got three names.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Damn it. I don't remember.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: John Carroll Lynch. Would that be him? That's him. That's him. Okay. Yeah.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Returning this season is kind of sort of like a
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: greatest hits package. It looks like they're referencing all of
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: the seasons.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Coming back are Jessica Lange. Mm-hmm. Sarah Paulson, of course,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Emma Roberts, Leslie Grossman,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Billy Lord, Gabourey Sibadé, the aforementioned John Carroll Lynch, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Mina Suvari, joined by newcomers Tig Notaro. Oh, really? And
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: John Waters.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'll watch this just because it sounds like a
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: train wreck.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Like I said, ordinarily I wouldn't have even cared, but
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: when I saw the lineup and.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Everything, I went, okay, all right, maybe.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the season's just called Thirteens, premieres Thursday on FX
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: and next day on Hulu. And yeah, also A Different
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: World is back from the 90s.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: That was a spinoff from the Cosby show, right?
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was, yeah. We're trying to forget about that
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: part of it, but yeah. It's on Netflix, it's a reboot,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: it's a no-laugh track dramedy.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Dramedy.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Dramedy, yeah.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Any of the old.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Jasmine Guy. That's what I was wondering, yeah. And Kadeem Hardison. Yeah.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Have a kid now going to Hillman College. Okay. That's
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: kind of the natural progression there.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: But the show started with, what's her name?
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Lisa Bonet.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Lisa Bonet.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: But she's not in there.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: She's not here now. She didn't go the whole run
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: of the show.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: No, one season, I think.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so if you've been missing a different world.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: There are some people that will be nostalgic for that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I read something about it over the weekend. I don't
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: know why I started reading it, but it said that
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the first season almost didn't make it through, and then
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Debbie Allen came on board and took over the show,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and it got really good and popular, apparently.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Lasted a few years, yeah. Coming up on Friday on Tubi.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: It's free, so don't judge this too harshly. Movie called Buzzkill.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: There's a masked killer terrorizing a group of sorority girls.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: And we don't know who it is, but one girl, Nora,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: saw a murder happen drunk, so therefore she has to
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: stay drunk through the entire night to identify the killer.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, I get it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That's... That's a solid concept. Yeah, I like it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: And again, you're going to get every penny's worth of
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: your Tubi subscription from this.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Also co-starring this are Brick Messenger from Stargirl. She finally
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: got a job. Good. Yeah, she's been doing other stuff.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Also on the shows you probably didn't know was gone
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: and maybe you want back, SWAT, Shamar Moore, good-looking Shamar Moore.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's good-looking.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Now it's SWAT Exiles. They're pulling him out
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: of retirement to manage a group of misfit agents.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Of course they are.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: I'm not doing anything.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: They're pulling me back in.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: You're all weirdos and losers, and I'm going to whip
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: you into shape. But this is on Starz. So I
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: don't know how well your CBS procedural drama is going
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: to do on Starz when you've got to pay for it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Don't know.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
