535: Can The Brady Bunch In The White House Count On Your Vote?

We thought a far-out distraction from current events was the way to go this week -- so we went to a fictional White House with accidental president Mike Brady, via 2002 TV movie The Brady Bunch In The White House. Should you take the tour -- or is this second-generation photocopy of an already-mediocre nostalgia brand not a candidate for your attention? We went Around The Dial with the new season of Abbott Elementary, the Criterion Closet series, and Mad Men before Ari wove together a Canon case for a sixth-season Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Tapestry." Prestige casting won, Amazon lost, and we voted early often for film-adaptation shows in Game Time. It's your patriotic duty to listen now!GUESTS👤 Tim GriersonTOPICSLead Topic: 🏛️ The Brady Bunch In The White HouseAround The Dial: 🏫 Abbott ElementaryAround The Dial: 📀 The Criterion ClosetAround The Dial: 🥃 Mad MenI Am Not A Crackpot: 🤖 AI On TaskmasterThe Canon: 🔪 Star Trek: The Next Generation S06.E15: TapestryWinner & Loser: 🍯 Arlios WinnersWinner & Loser: 🦾 Prime VideoGame Time: 📺 Honey, I Shrunk The ScreenSUPPORT THE SHOW🔥 Join the EHG Club for bonus episodes, no ads, community Discord and more!🛍️ Shop our merch store!NOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our site📀 The Criterion Channel on YouTube🙅‍♂️ Tim Grierson on X🎬 Tim's profile of director Sean Baker for the LA Times🌴 The Again With This Patreon🔥 Get Extra Extra Hot Great in the EHG Club📷 Photo: Paramount Television
