Thanks to the generous patronage of Andrew, we're taking another look at American Dad! Back in 2018, we covered an episode from one of the earlier seasons, but this time around, our subject matter hails from season 19 of this enduring animated sitcom. If you haven't checked in on American Dad since it moved to TBS nearly a decade ago, you might be surprised by just how strange and experimental it's gotten—or maybe not, since it was always pretty weird. In any case, get ready to sit back and enjoy a podcast only the vile Tiffany's boyfriend would dislike!

April has arrived, spring has sprung, and it's once again time to cover a live-action subject on the What A Cartoon podcast. And this time around, we're digging into the oft-referenced but never-fully-discussed sketch series, Mr. Show with Bob and David. Bob Odenkirk and David Cross might be renowned comic (and at times, dramatic) superstars in our current era, but back in 1995, they were scrappy upstarts, looking to bring their brand of revolutionary alt-comedy to the small screen. The result? A 30-episode sketch show that went mostly unwatched yet still ended up being extremely influential ..read more

We're up, up, and away with this pair of Superman classics chosen by premium patron Devin!
