Hello, welcome back to the Prestige TV podcast feed.

I'm Jonah Robinson.

I'm Rob Mahoney.

And we're here with a very special mini-series that we have cooked up just out of the fondness

of our heart for TV shows that we want to talk about.

We're calling it hooked, as you might have seen on the podcast art for this episode.

Rob Mahoney, do you care to explain to the fine folks at home what this mini-series is that we're doing?

I would love to, Joe.

The premise is very simple.

If you were trying to get a friend, a partner, anyone in your life to watch a show that you care about, what is the single episode of that show that you would show them?

To get them hooked, TM.

I would also say, I would add to that. I would yes and that. That is the basic premise of the show. I would add to that, you know, if you yourself have, if there's like a big show that you missed out on and you tried to watch the pilot, you're like, this really isn't for me. I don't really get it. We're here with some suggestions over the next few weeks of what another episode to try might be to really get you hooked into a show.

So you might be listening at home and saying, hey, man, isn't it best to watch the first episode of a new show to get hooked into the show?

And some of the shows that we've picked here

are kind of infamously not all put together when they drop their first episode. So that has been

on our mind. And just sort of anecdotally, also, I personally have tried to get people that I know and

love into certain shows and

have, and they've bumped up against some of these pilots. So we are going to talk about the pilot

episodes of some of these shows as, as we go through and talk about them, but also we want to

highlight another episode that we really think is like, is the hook for, for why the show is what it is um anything else you want to say

about the premise of this of this mini series rob mahoney what a wonderful really just

false mechanism we have created to talk about some of the greatest shows to ever exist
