The Incomparable Podcast, number 94, June 2012.

Welcome back to the incomparable podcast. I'm your host, Jason Snell. And in this edition,

we are going to talk about a little, it's a little bit of a departure, I guess, from us.

We like all things geeky here, but there's a genre that is not traditionally thought of as a place

for geeky stuff, and that's the sitcom, the television, situation, comedy. And yet, there are many sitcoms that are either, let's run through it,

they're either, they are sort of genre-like science fictional, they feature geeky type people,

or they feature storylines and concepts that appeal to geeky type people.

And we are going to talk about that tonight.

This is a topic suggested by our very own Lex Friedman.

I'd like to introduce Lex Friedman to you now.

Wouldn't you?

But he couldn't make it.

So thanks, Lex, for the idea.

And then joining me to talk about this, instead of Lex joining me, I have fine guests.

I have Dan Moran.

Hi, Dan.

I just like it to be known that I'm better than Lex in every way.

We already knew that, but thank you for saying it.

Thanks.

So we're clear.

You're on the record.
