Plus, it's 'Arrested Development'!

TV Is Good Podcast, episode 25: Can we agree on 'The Gilded Age'?

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. This week, it's two different stories about the unbearably cloistered rich, in different periods: the steel barons and blue bloods of The Gilded Age, and the George W. Bush-era dummies of Arrested Development.

Television criticism from Alan Sepinwall and Kathryn VanArendonk

Because it's the first Monday of the month, that means there's also a new episode on our Patreon feed, where we talk about "Dr. Chaudhary," the ninth episode of the great HBO Max miniseries Station Eleven. Watch a preview on YouTube:

For next week's episode, it's a double dose of Tracy Morgan, as we discuss the new season of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, then look back to a pair of classic 30 Rock episodes: "Tracy Does Conan" (Season One, Episode Seven) and "Apollo Apollo" (Season Three, Episode 16).

The podcast also has its own social media accounts on Instagram, BlueSky, Threads, and TikTok.
