Summary

Rebooting a show hosted by original Spock with the new Spock may have seemed...logical, but the summer-weight EHG panel didn't think much of the new In Search Of, which is perhaps a casualty of the internet, and definitely suffers from not committing to its crackpot premises. At least we got to make an American Movie reference about the premiere? Later, we went Around The Dial with Dr. Pimple Popper, an HBO doc on Robin Williams, and Ancient Aliens before Liz presented a fourth-season Frasier farce for the Canon. Jesus won, UnREAL lost (we think?), and Dan Cassino gave new meaning to the term "sibling rivalry" in a family-friendly Game Time.

So loosen up those polygraph straps and get comfy with an all-new Extra Hot Great.
