Television with Marc Hershon

It’s possible more television shows get discussed in this episode of Television with Marc Hershon than in any installment yet! As has become their fashion, Marc and host Phil Leirness categorize shows by defining which ones are worthy of “binge-watching”, which ones might be “guilty pleasures” and which ones, no matter how good or how popular, are “nope” they aren’t going to be watching. Now, they have even added “re-starts” (i.e. shows they stopped watching only to, you guessed it, “re-start” quite a while later) and “vouches” to the mix. These last are shows that you have been aware of, but you aren’t going to take the time to invest in them until people you trust have vouched for their quality, or at least their entertainment value. Just some of the series that get discussed are “Hacks”, “Spider-Noir”, “Widow’s Bay”, “Outlander”, “Not Suitable for Work”, “His and Hers”, “Ponies”, “Russian Doll”, “The Sympathizer”, “Pachinko”, “Mobland”, “Ballard”, “For All Mankind”, “Dracula”, “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” and “Battlestar Galactica”.After our most recent episode, Marc invited listeners to share their “Guilty Pleasures, Binge-worthy, and Nope (as in ‘Nope, I’m never going to watch that show!’)” and one listener, Amber, did just that. As Marc had promised, he and Phil cover them in this episode. All Amber’s selections are interesting, and the story she shared about Taylor Sheridan’s “Yellowstone” is absolutely hilarious! Marc and Phil would love to hear from you about your selections. So, just drop ‘em in the comments.Marc Hershon is a branding expert who has dreamt up names for countless hit products.
