Welcome back! This week we are stepping outside of our normal format to talk favorite Halloween/Horror movies!

Welcome to October! We are kicking off spooky month with one of the most iconic television shows of all-time: The Twilight Zone! This week we are diving into The Night of the Meek from the show’s second season.

In this episode, Matt dives into his history with the show, taps into this week’s Christmas connection and explains how this episode did not exactly go as planned. As usual, please remember to leave us a review on Apple podcasts and to find us on Facebook and Instagram by searching for TGI Podcast!

We are closing out our Classic Christmas in July with The Mary Tyler Moore Show! In this episode, titled Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid II, Mary has to face the holiday alone at the office.

Matt goes into this episode with fresh eyes having never watched a full episode of the show before. He explains (as much as he can) what the episode title means and, as always, determines whether or not this iconic episode should be deemed a holiday classic. Be sure to stick around until the end the find out what is coming up later this year when we kick off the third season of the podcast!

Christmas in July continues to roll right along as we dive into another classic television show. This week we are discussing Happy Days and the episode titled, “Guess Who’s Coming to Christmas”

In this recording, Matt makes another Christmas connection, explains how weird one particular scene is and, as always, tries to determine if this should be deemed a holiday classic. Get your poodle skirts on and slick back your hair as we travel to the 1950s (in the 1970s) on this week’s episode!

Happy Days: Guess Who’s Coming to Christmas

Welcome back and Happy Leon Day!! It has been a few months since we dropped a new episode but are very happy to bring a Leon Day gift! This week we are covering “Christmas Party” from Season 2 of The Office.

In addition to gushing over his favorite show, Matt debuts two brand new segments for the show. The first one up is called “Christmas Connection” while the second is still in need of a name! Don’t be afraid to offer up a suggestion! As always, we will determine if this episode should be deemed a holiday classic! Matt also discusses why there was such a lull between recordings (including two major life milestones) and he talks about what is ahead the rest of the year.

As always, be sure to leave us a review on Apple podcasts and we will send you a free sticker!

Merry Christmas Week! It is crazy to think this is our last Christmas episode of the year. This week we are covering ‘Jolly Old St. Dick’ from the second season of Third Rock from the Sun.

This episode has A LOT going for it in a very short period of time. Matt waxes poetic over John Lithgow’s masterful performance, he once again expounds on his love of Christmas blow mold decorations and, as always, determines whether or not this episode should be deemed a holiday classic.

We are here with a very special BONUS episode of the podcast! We asked our listeners for some help on this one, asking what is the one gift they always wanted but never received for Christmas.

TGI Podcast is thankful for the submissions we received and had a lot of fun going over some of these toys and playing some iconic commercials for them! We also want to thank Mike and Rusty from Snow in Southtown, Charlyn from the Fashion Speaks podcast and Sean from the Christmas Podcasts Podcast for their audio submissions! We hope you enjoy this episode and would love to hear more of the gifts that you always wanted but never received!
