    Ok my bad NOW it's over

  2. 19 - This Is Us

    Here it is. The most evil fucking TV show of all time. The thing that started it all over a year ago, when in the haze of humiliation and sadness over Bernie, I decided I wanted to finally watch This Is Us and figure out what it was actually about. What I found was the most malicious thing I've...

  3. 18 - Gossip Girl

  5. 14 - Dallas

    Larry Hagman was the hottest man ever on TV

  6. 13 - 24

    This was a dreadful show. I am locked into the fight of my life in LA. various dark forces conspire against me, and most of them are AirBnB super hosts. many of them, in fact, probably watched this boring, stupid ass show. suck my dick 24 times

  7. 12 - The Wire

    Matt and Felix take on their most controversial opinions yet but you can't get mad at Felix because he is getting his second shot tomorrow. Shot of Fireball maybe! just kidding. Direct all complaints to Dr Matt Christman

  8. 11 - X Files

    Bet you thought I was going to forget today...well, I almost did until literally this moment. In my defense I was moving today. What did I do in the 7 hours after I moved? Had two lunches or 1.5 dinners depending on how you look at it. Well, as they say "the truth...is out there." -Lieutenant...

  9. 10 - The OC

    Duh nuh nah nuh nah, duh nuh nuh Nah nuh, DUH NUH NUH NUH NAH NAH, DUH NUH NUH NUH NAH NAH

  10. 9 - Game of Thrones

    George RR Martin, if you are reading this, I do not doubt your ability to finish anything. I know you will complete Elden Ring. I know I will not just play it on my deathbed in 2080. Please sir.

  11. 8 - Law and Order

    Matt and Felix explore possibly the most successful and continually well made propaganda of all time, the Law and Order series. As far as actual evil accomplished, this is probably the single most evil TV show, dwarfing even Ken Olin's dark ambitions to kill a Great One and become a god (parody....

  12. 7 - Girlmore Girls

    Matt and Felix return with a show that is better in every single way than Lost.

  13. 6 - Lost

    Oh brother THIS STINKS. Not our episode, don't tell people I said the episode is bad. Lost dares you not to vaporize your TV with a SAN 511 anti material rifle. This is a TV show that asks the question, "what if we had 5 hours of stuff and went on for like 2 decades." I singlehandedly blame this...

  14. 5 - Sopranos

    Damn there's some funny ass fucking shit about this show on Twitter!

  15. 4 - The Shield

    They say that you miss the point by idolizing them. This may be true of Fight Club, Breaking Bad, Thomas the Tank Engine, and most fables, but it's not true of The Shield. This is a show about a guy who looks and acts great. Matt and Felix explore the life and times of Vic Mackey, a man who…

  16. 3 - Deadwood

    Howdy cowpoke. I reckon if you're coming around these parts, you're wearing a chambray shirt that cost $225 to a Zoom meeting about scheduling a company wide meeting in August, and you're fixin' to water your Citibike and toss a few back listening to a podcast. Well, if you're a hooplehead (?)...

  17. 2 - Gunsmoke

    Matt and Felix destroy their algorithmic profile by subscribing to shit called CBS Classic Family and Lonely Old Man Unlimited so they can watch this show. Later, they uncover how it's about the greatest generation processing PTSD while also foreseeing the collapse of empire. Leo Strauss also...

  18. 1 - Sons of Anarchy

    The first episode. The most important show ever made. The most prestige prestige show of all time. The most times a creator of a show has ever appeared in said show and given himself AIDS as part of the story. American destiny.
