Week 2 of Music Month 🎤

Week 2 of Music Month is here!

This week on The S1E1 Podcast, we're watching Girls5eva. The group had a successful album and multiple hit songs before fading from the spotlight. Now they're getting another shot at stardom.

We watched the first episode and decided whether the comeback deserves a Green Light or Cancel.

What did you think of the pilot?

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!

Hi everyone!
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, we took a trip back to 1982 to review the pilot of Newhart (yes, the one with the inn... not The Bob Newhart Show 😄).

On The S1E1 Podcast, we watch the first episode of a TV show and decide whether we'd Green Light it or Cancel it based on the pilot alone.

Bob Newhart already had one legendary sitcom under his belt, but did Newhart get off to a strong enough start to earn another Green Light?

We'd love to hear what you thought of the pilot, or if you're just a fan of the series in general.

Hi everyone!

We just released Episode 274 of The S1E1 Podcast.

Our format is simple: every week we watch the first episode of a TV show and decide whether we'd Green Light it or Cancel it based on the pilot alone. Along the way, we talk about the cast, behind-the-scenes trivia, first impressions, and whether the show delivers on its premise.

This week we're discussing Son of a Critch, the coming-of-age comedy inspired by Mark Critch's childhood.

If you enjoy sitcoms, TV history, or hearing different perspectives on classic and modern television, we'd love for you to check us out.

We'd also love to hear about your own podcasts—always looking for fellow creators to support!

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!

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

It opens with one of the most unhinged on-air meltdowns in TV history… and somehow still finds ways to escalate from there. It’s one of those pilots that immediately tells you: this show is not going to behave itself.

We spent the episode debating whether that chaos is what makes it brilliant… or if it’s just shock value that doesn’t fully land once the novelty wears off.

That led us to our usual question:
Does this pilot earn a Green Light… or should it have been canceled after episode one?

Curious how others feel about pilots like this:
Do you prefer a show that goes “all in” immediately, or one that takes a few episodes to find its footing?

This week on The S1E1 Podcast, we revisit the pilot episode of My Two Dads, the 1987 sitcom that somehow starts with one of the strangest premises in television history: two former rivals are ordered to raise a teenage girl together.

Does the pilot successfully balance comedy and heart? How well do Paul Reiser and Greg Evigan work together from the start? And does the show hold up nearly 40 years later?

We break down the characters, the story, our favorite moments, and ultimately decide whether we'd green-light or cancel the series based solely on Episode 1.
