A podcast about the high-concept, experimental, structure-breaking gimmick episodes of TV! From musicals, to noirs, to bottle episodes and more -- we look at any television episode that breaks from its own formula in some way. Derek B. Gayle and David Arnold (and occasionally guests!) dig into a different episode of a different show across the entire TV landscape every other Monday!

Reairing: MOONLIGHTING does Shakespeare (with Kevin Cafferty)

Moonlighting: "Atomic Shakespeare"

We're revisiting this early episode of Gimmicks from 2023 with new commentary! First, David talks about remembering -- and forgetting -- Moonlighting, while Derek rightfully credits this Gimmicks episode as finally delivering this groundbreaking series onto a streaming platform.

Then, we present the original episode where Kevin Cafferty (Best Stuff in the World, Gleaming the Tube) cometh to discuss the most famous (and expensive) episode of the classic 80s fourth-wall-breaking romcom starring Cybill Shepard and Bruce Willis -- their ambitious, cartoonish Elizabethan parody of The Taming of the Shrew done fully in iambic pentameter!
