Summary

The panel is contemplating three user submissions for the Canon this week, starting with the extremely highly rated, extreeeeemely looooong series finale of MASH. Lindy makes a fascinating parallel between [waves hands vaguely] All This and the world MASH portrayed, but is the episode's status as a historical reference enough to earn it a medal of honor? Next, we're sampling a first-season Strangers With Candy episode submitted by Tim (and the second in which a chicken figures heavily). Does Amy Sedaris's satirical take on The Best Little Girl In The World -- and a solid comedic turn from one Ellen Pompeo -- have what we'd call a debater's body? Finally, Mlle. Caroline files a support ticket for The IT Crowd, which pits Matt Berry and a great PSA parody against suboptimal pacing and an intrusive laugh track. Try turning it off and then back on again: it's an all-Canon Extra Hot Great!

0:37.3	Probably the first thing.
0:39.7	Yeah, this deeply unwell idea comes to us from David T. Cole, as you may know from the podcast, if you've listened for a while.
0:47.7	Dave does not drink, and neither do I.
0:50.1	But many years ago, we were gifted a bottle of champagne and we recorded a drunk episode.
0:58.1	What was it, 200 headless snowmen in review?
1:01.9	It was for 2008.
1:03.6	And while I was drunk, I made the observation that 2008 was 200.
1:07.1	And then next to it was a headless snowman.
1:09.4	That's right.
1:10.2	Snowman.
1:10.5	It only has two circles instead of three.
1:13.4	Yes.
1:14.0	So Dave thought this would be a good idea, drunk extra hot great.
1:18.6	I didn't say good.
1:20.0	I said, you know, novel.
1:21.3	It would be an idea.
1:22.3	Return to Miniforna.
