198. Watching Old Shows in the Age of Peak TV

Inspired by some recent stories about people rediscovering ER, Frasier and Friends on streaming services, Matt and Ed spend this week's episode talking about the joy of eschewing the glut of new TV shows in order to dig into the classics, as well as what those older shows can teach us about how television, and culture more generally, have changed. They also discuss the great GQ profile of Brendan Fraser, what their great-grandparents would make of their current jobs, and the pitch for the Friends finale that Ed wrote when he was 16. 00:00:00 - 00:05:17 - Intro 00:05:18 - 00:21:11 - News 00:21:12 - 01:14:16 - Matt & Ed discuss discovering older TV shows 01:14:17 - 01:21:25 - SRS Recommends & Outro
