Episode 34 - The Returning Situation

Look who's back! It's been three and a half weeks and we've missed talking Televigion a heck of a lot. We finally kick off our discussion of sitcoms and what they mean to us, creating definitions and committing to a book deal along the way. But we need your thoughts on the matter too!
