It's Monday, which means it's time for another episode of the TV Is Good podcast, where Kathryn VanArendonk and I look at notable television shows from the present and the past. In this week's episode, it's a double dose of writer Elizabeth Meriwether, who first got on the TV map as the creator New Girl, and more recently has written more serious shows for FX and/or Hulu like The Dropout, Dying for Sex, and the new Emmy Rossum crime thriller Furious.

For next week's episode, it's all about feel-good sports dramedies. Ted Lasso has returned, and we'll be pairing that discussion with a look back at Aaron Sorkin's very first TV show, Sports Night. It's not currently on a streamer, but episodes are available for purchase or rental (and some are on YouTube). This is more of a wide-ranging discussion than a focus on any one particular episode. You could also refresh your memory by looking at the retro recaps that I did (with help from Linda Holmes) back in the summer of 2009:
