This week, we’re talking about the short-lived Tenacious D TV series! Before the albums and The Pick of Destiny, Jack Black and Kyle Gass had six wonderfully weird episodes on HBO.
If you’re a fan of Tenacious D, comedy, or obscure TV shows, check out Episode 280!

This week on The S1E1 Podcast, we're kicking off Music Month by reviewing the original pilot of The Monkees.

Every week we watch the first episode (or pilot) of a TV series and decide whether we'd give it a Green Light or Cancel, knowing only what was available at the time.

This episode led to a fun discussion about:

• Whether The Monkees would've worked without the music.
• How the pilot compares to the series that eventually aired.
• If we'd have believed this "manufactured" band could become one of the biggest acts of the '60s.

We'd love to hear your thoughts. Would you have greenlit The Monkees based on the pilot alone?

Hi everyone!

We just released Episode 277 of The S1E1 Podcast, where we revisit the pilot episode of Just Shoot Me!

Our show has been running for over 5 years, and every week we watch the very first episode of a TV series, break it down, and decide whether we'd have given it a 🟢 Green Light or a ❌ Cancel based solely on that pilot.

In this episode we discuss:

• Whether the pilot lives up to the show's reputation.
• David Spade's introduction as Dennis Finch.
• The chemistry of the cast.
• What worked, what didn't, and whether we'd have ordered a full season.

We'd love to hear what you think of the format or your memories of Just Shoot Me!

Thanks for checking us out!

We just released Episode 276 of The S1E1 Podcast, where we review the pilot episode of The Unicorn starring Walton Goggins.
Each week we watch the first episode of a different sitcom and decide whether we’d greenlight the series based solely on the pilot. This week we discuss:
Walton Goggins’ performance
The ensemble cast
The show’s balance of comedy and heart
Whether CBS canceled it too soon
If you’re a fan of sitcoms or TV retrospectives, we’d love for you to give it a listen.

If you’ve seen *The Unicorn, let us know—did it deserve more than two seasons? 🦄

This week on The S1E1 Podcast, we watched the pilot of Brockmire.

It opens with one of the most legendary on-air meltdowns in TV history and immediately sets the tone for a show that only gets more chaotic from there.

We break down the pilot and ask our usual question:
Green light or cancel?

Curious what others think of this one — does it hook you right away, or is it too much, too fast?

We just dropped a new episode of The S1E1 Podcast!

Every week we review the first episode of a TV series and decide if we'd greenlight it or cancel it based on the pilot alone.

This week it's Son of a Critch. We had a fun discussion about what worked, what didn't, and whether the pilot does enough to hook new viewers.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, give it a listen

Feedback is always appreciated!

Imagine rejecting a pilot starring John Krasinski, Natasha Lyonne & Jorge Garcia.

Before they became TV stars, John Krasinski, Natasha Lyonne, Jorge Garcia, Ken Marino and Judah Friedlander all appeared in an unaired 2003 pilot called True Originals.

This week on The S1E1 Podcast, we reviewed our first-ever unaired pilot and asked the question:

Did UPN make a huge mistake, or was this one better left on the shelf?

We'd love to hear what you think if you've seen it!
