678: Fall TV Pre-Superlatives

In this episode, we’re handing out superlatives for the upcoming fall TV lineup. Join us as we award the Emmy Master Baiters, The Clear Pepsis, and the Low Key MVPs of fall TV. From buzzy premieres guaranteed an award-show appearance to shows already inspiring irrational optimism, we’re breaking down what actually deserves a spot on your watchlist. Plus, Knox and Jamie share a rare mutual green light.
