What happens if you take one of the most popular comedians in the world and set him loose on primetime?! Well, in 1996 what happened was a short-lived experiment in melding SNL and Kids in the Hall into ABC's new, definitely-not-family-friendly sketch-and-impression-fest, The Dana Carvey Show! Hey, wait a minute, is that Stephen Colbert?

Do you love Weird Al? Do you love awkwardly random kid's programming? Do you like meddling studio execs? Then you'll LOVE CBS's ill-fated 1997 attempt to turn Weird Al into a kid-TV star! Of course, if you love humor, you might not...come listen and find out!

This week on My Mother the Podcast, we're tackling the Teletoon/MTV Phil Lord/Chris Miller animated sitcom Clone High! Do any of these characters need to be historical figures?

This week, Dave and Colin celebrate MMtP's 40th episode from their social isolation situations with Fox's 2001 conspiracy-comedy-X-Files-spinoff The Lone Gunmen's pilot episode, er, "The Pilot." Yep.

It's a quarantine special as Dave and Colin relaunch MMtP with a new format to discuss Dreamworks/NBC's 2004–2005 Siegfried-and-Roy steaming-pile-of-garbage sitcom, Father of the Pride! How did they get a cast this good? How is the animation this bad? Will we make it through this?

That's right, we're heading back to reality TV to talk about the failed American version of GBBO, CBS's 2013 flop The American Baking Competition! Here on MMtP, we've got some...soggy bottoms.

Another fall season of television rolls in, and we're here to talk about it! This time around, Colin suffers through network trash while Dave finds solace in mainly watching new streaming options. But we can both agree on one thing: "Stumptown" is a *terrible* name for a show.

Hey, did you know that millennials are SOFT and WHINE A LOT and need SAFE SPACES and get TRIGGERED? CBS sure thought pointing this out was going to be comedy gold when they inexplicably launched The Great Indoors in fall 2016, the intergenerational sitcom about how these damned kids with their damned phones just aren't tough guys like...Joel McHale? And Stephen Fry? I'm not sure they thought this one through...

Within the FBI, there is a podcasting duo not bound to the bureaucracy. When they need to talk about uneven CBS procedural spinoffs, like 2011's Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, they operate outside the bureaucracy. They are...My Mother the Podcast.

CUZ AFTER ALLLL....wait a minute, that's not right! But this week's show, in which we discuss Fox's 2004 magical realism sitcom Wonderfalls, feels like a bit of an oasis for Dave. Will Colin feel the same way? Tune into MMtP to find out!

This week on My Mother the Podcast, we're addicted to you--don't you know that you're toxic? At least you're not as toxic as Britney and Kevin: Chaotic, the short-lived 2005 UPN reality series Britney and Kevin: Chaotic. And no, we do NOT like the way she rocks it.

This week on MMtP, it's the show that almost broke us: ABC's 1985–1986 paranormal buddy comedy Shadow Chasers. There's a reason we've had a long hiatus, and it's not because this show is any good!

Haven't you heard? We're My Mother the Podcast and we don't know anything about Japan! MMtP takes its first dip into the wide, wide world of anime with an absolutely perfect show about the perfect man: Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto!
