About this episode

Thanks to premium patron Duckmeat, this week we're looking at a recent Disney Channel hit that's equal parts heartwarming and hilarious. Based on the real-life story of its creators, The Houghton Brothers, Big City Greens tells the tale of a family of transplants pulled out of the country and plopped down in the big city—specifically, the Big City. And for our podcast discussion, we're highlighting one of the funniest episodes to date, in which a Billy the Big Mouth Bass clone drives most of the Green family into a state of murderous insanity! So sit back and listen in as we talk about a different bug-eyed, yellow-skinned family that's worth watching.
