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, we're all-in on Adults, the Gen Z hangout comedy whose second season debuted last week on Hulu and FXX.

First, Kathryn and I talk about how the series has leveled up in its second season, the oddness of them not only making a new pilot episode, but placing it at the front of the order for newcomers to watch on Hulu or On Demand.
Then, we have our first proper guests on the podcast (depending on how you count Tatiana Maslany's audio-only cameo), as Adults creators Rebecca Shaw and Ben Kronengold discuss the second season. More importantly, we get them to talk about a few things that they think are good about TV.

For Labor Day next Monday, we'll have not one but two episodes. For our Patreon, we'll be talking about "Sin Say Shun Awards After Party," the fifth episode of Season One from Party Down, where the cater waiters have to work an adult film industry event. You can subscribe at Patreon.com/tvisgoodpod. All three seasons of Party Down are streaming on Prime and Plex.
Meanwhile, on the main feed, we're going to the dogs. First, we'll look at the third and final season of the wonderful Australian comedy Colin from Accounts (whose first two seasons are on Paramount+), about a couple who meet when they accidentally injure (and then inherit) a dog. We'll follow that up with a look back at classic Nineties educational kids' show Wishbone, focusing on two specific episodes. It's not streaming anywhere, so you'll have to watch on YouTube. First, we've got "Frankenbone," inspired by Frankenstein:
And "Homer Sweet Homer," Wishbone's own take on The Odyssey:
The podcast also has its own social media accounts on Instagram, BlueSky, Threads, and TikTok.
