TFGIF: A 90s TV Podcast

Thank F****** God It's Friday! A podcast recapping episodes of everyone's favorite 90s TV shows. Join friends Drew and Katie as they discuss everything from SNICK to Must-See TV and, of course, TGIF.

45: Ally McBeal (with Laura-Jane from Bygones) 09/25/2020

45: Ally McBeal (with Laura-Jane from Bygones) Which 90s show tried to completely normalize hallucinations and rampant misogyny? You guessed it: Ally McBeal! And this week Katie is back with another guest who just happens to be an expert on the subject: Laura-Jane from Bygones, the one and only Ally McBeal rewatch podcast. Listen as they have a long discussion about the show as a whole before getting into season 1's "Cro-Magnon" and the season 3 tear-jerker "Boy Next Door." /episode/index/show/tfgif/id/16152119

44: The X-Files (with Vanessa from Not Another X-Files Podcast Podcast) 09/04/2020

44: The X-Files (with Vanessa from Not Another X-Files Podcast Podcast) While Drew's away, Katie is covering shows she knows she could never get him to watch. This week: The X-Files, which he says is too scary. So Vanessa from Not Another X-Files Podcast Podcast is filling in and sharing her perspective on the show, which she's been covering for five years! Listen as they discuss the early 90s animation featured in season 1's "Darkness Falls" and the extremely well-written (and hilarious) season 5 classic "Bad Blood." (And a Scrubs connection. Obviously.) /episode/index/show/tfgif/id/15892748

43: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (with Ashley from Washed Away) 08/21/2020

43: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (with Ashley from Washed Away) Drew is away this week, so instead Katie is joined by Ashley from the Washed Away podcast to talk about the fantasy drama Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Listen as they discuss the show's critical turning point in season two's "Innocence" and get re-traumatized by the quarantine-centric storyline in the season four classic "Hush." (And, yes, there is still a Scrubs connection, even without Drew's presence. Maybe even the best one yet?) /episode/index/show/tfgif/id/15700472

42: Step By Step 08/07/2020

42: Step By Step Join Katie and Drew this week on a show that definitely didn't make it better the second time around, Step By Step! They talk about the terrible characters (both on and off the show), ridiculous theme song and opening credits, and how much fun it can be to hate-watch a show. Plus, Suzanne Somers wants to live to 125!? /episode/index/show/tfgif/id/15522974

41: The Sandlot [90s Movie Break] 07/24/2020

41: The Sandlot [90s Movie Break] Another baseball movie!? Join Drew and Katie this week for the classic coming-of-age movie, The Sandlot.

40: All That 07/10/2020

40: All That Finally, Drew and Katie tackle the show with arguably the coolest theme song of all time: All That! Join in this week as they talk about episodes from season three that featured Chris Farley as a ketchup-loving chef, Ed from Good Burger trying to pawn off a hamburger milkshake, and Ask Ashley going nuclear on her adoring fans. All that (ha!) and more from the coolest show to grace the Snick lineup. /episode/index/show/tfgif/id/15148493

39: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 06/26/2020

39: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Go Go Power Rangers! You already know it's morphin' time, so join Katie and Drew this week and the classic kid's show, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. From actors being paid like peasants to murder from an extra, there was a lot going on behind the scenes on this strange, but entertaining (to Drew anyways) show. Learn about poorly planned stunts, Lord Zedd and his stan, Goldar, and much more! /episode/index/show/tfgif/id/14972702

38: Clueless 06/12/2020

38: Clueless You thought Katie and Drew wouldn't talk about Clueless? As if! Listen in this week as they talk about season 1 episodes "I Got You Babe" and "All Teed Off." They talk Paul Rudd (obviously), the ridiculous fashion of Cher and company, the horrific golf swings of everyone on the show, and some very 90s activities and items. If you miss this one, you're totally buggin! /episode/index/show/tfgif/id/14788163

37: A League of Their Own [90s Movie Break] 05/29/2020

37: A League of Their Own [90s Movie Break] It's movie time for Katie and Drew! This week, they are diving into a classic with A League of Their Own, one of the best baseball movies ever made. Listen in as they discuss whether or not there is crying in baseball, if Dottie threw the game at the end, and the hilarity of Jon Lovitz! And, of course, Madonna. /episode/index/show/tfgif/id/14611112

36: Doug 05/15/2020

36: Doug Katie and Drew are back to talk about one of the earliest and most memorable Nicktoons of all time, Doug, including his many alter egos, the world-famous Beets, and the terror of liver and onions. Drew gets into conspiracy theories, including another Scrubs connection (of course) and a debate on whether or not Roger had the hots for Doug! /episode/index/show/tfgif/id/14428133

35: 3rd Rock From The Sun 05/01/2020

Listen in as we talk about Sam's surf punk gear in "No TV" from season 1 and Clarissa - sorry, Jade - hitting it off with James Van Der Beek in "Alter Ego" from season 5. And naturally, we go into the incredible layout of Clarissa's room. Oh, the 90s. A different time. /episode/index/show/tfgif/id/14119778

33: Hocus Pocus [Halloween Movie Break] 10/25/2019

33: Hocus Pocus [Halloween Movie Break] What's a Halloween without a bit of Hocus Pocus? Katie and Drew couldn't let the spooky season go by without talking about this childhood favorite with their first remote guest, Grace! Listen as they discuss how strange it is for a Disney movie to be so hung up on the word "virgin," a horrifying fact about Doug Jones as Billy and, of course, a lot of their own Halloween memories. /episode/index/show/tfgif/id/11778035

32: Dinosaurs 10/11/2019

32: Dinosaurs "I'm the baby! Gotta love me!" Katie and Drew are back with an episode 60 million years in the making with a discussion about the TGIF hit, Dinosaurs. Listen as we talk about the show through its season two episodes "Endangered Species" and "A New Leaf," and maybe learn some very important lessons along the way. And, of course, we'd be remiss not to also cover the traumatizing and depressing series finale, "Changing Nature," because how could a show about Dinosaurs not end in tragedy? /episode/index/show/tfgif/id/11600102

31: Friends 09/20/2019

31: Friends It's time, at long last, to cover Katie's all-time favorite show—90s or otherwise—Friends. And just in time for its 25th anniversary!

Listen as Drew and Katie discuss one of three Jim Carrey movies released in 1994, Dumb and Dumber, and everything that helped it earn its very apt title. /episode/index/show/tfgif/id/11234285

29: Nickelodeon Guts 09/06/2019

29: Nickelodeon Guts "Do, do, do, do you have it?"
