Ep 148: The West Wing, S1 E21-22 & S2 E1-2
We're deep in the chaos of Rosslyn and we have THOUGHTS. In this episode of Only Show Fans, your favorite TV recap comedy podcast, we're breaking down The West Wing Season 1 Episodes 21 and 22 and Season 2 Episodes 1 and 2, aka the episodes that had the entire nation asking "who got shot?" Here's what we're getting into: Aaron Sorkin literally did not know who was going to get assassinated when he wrote it. We're not kidding. The man was making it up as he went and somehow it's one of the greatest cliffhangers in television history. A cast member actually got run over filming the Rosslyn scene. Yes, really. We have feelings about this. The eternal debate: Sam Seaborn vs Josh Lyman. Pick a side. We did. Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford are simply built different. We break down why every single scene they're in becomes instantly iconic regardless of who they're talking to. Whether you're a die hard West Wing fan doing a rewatch, discovering the show for the first time, or just here because you love a good TV recap with your favorite sisters-in-law, this episode is for you. Listen to Only Show Fans on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you get your podcasts. And don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a review. It genuinely helps more than you know. 🎙️

Ep 147: The West Wing, S1 E17-20
What's better on a hot summer day than listening to a West Wing Recap podcast and dreaming of some tasty Josh Lymanciello? Not much, that's for sure. The girls talk more about Sam and Josh-will Maggie ever come aroud to Sam? I guess you'll have to keep listening to find out. They also talk about some juicy behind the scenes gossip. And Maggie makes a case for more live performance opportunities amongst friends. And Amanda takes her up on it with her one live version of a beloved rap from the 90s.

Ep 146: The West Wing, S1 E13-16
The girls are more than halfway thru season 1 and Maggie is still all in on the best political procedural that ever was.

They're creeping up on the end of Season 1 (IYKYK) so it's not too late to rewatch with them and join in on the fun.

Ep 145: The West Wing, S1 E9-12
Four more episodes! Or four more years? Episodes 9-12 really packed a punch (and almost got Josh Lyman punching people) in the first season of The West Wing. Amanda and Maggie talk about how they'd decorate The White House if they were in charge, whether or not they'd follow their boss's orders, and the difference between a real easter egg and a hypothetical easter egg. And Amanda's temporary foster dog has A LOT to say about this episode. He's only visiting for a week, so this is the first and last you'll hear of his hot takes...this dog needs it's on PupCast!

Ep 144: The West Wing, S1 E5-8
Laced up and stompin' in their Air Force Ones, Amanda and Maggie are cruisin' at an altitude where they can take in the sights and sounds of the Bartlett Administration. They discuss problematic characters and problematic actors, who they would leave behind when given a nuclear "get out of jail free" card, and the best places for people to visit when it's their first time coming to America. And who knew that both the girls are GreaseHeads™? When they both found out, they got chills...and they were multiplying! Maggie takes the mic when they land at prediction town and serves up some beefy plot twists that would make even Leo McGary rearrange his already chaotic schedule. If you're a West Winger, jump back in and rewatch the only administration worth acknoledging right now. And if you're enjoying this podcast, don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a review!

Ep 141: Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat
Court is in session for this next round of TV pranks when the girls review the newest Jury Duty: Company Retreat. It's so wild, it's so well done, and it's such a great watch/binge. They talk about when they would have discoverd it was a prank, when (or if) they'll ever cast a woman as the hero to be pranked, and what cast could they be thrown into and have zero idea who any of the key players are. It's a must watch from both of them. And just like the twist at the end of Jury Duty, Maggie and Amanda reveal a twist of their own at the very end.

Ep 139: The Pitt-Season 2
The Pitt is a lot of things, and an ABSOLUTE HIT is one of them. Maggie and Amand are more obsessed after Season 2 than they were with season one. And thinking ahead to Season 3? Well that's hardly a tough pill to swallow because they are hydrated, mediacated, and ready for more Pitt action. They talk about their favorite doctors and who they would want to treat them in real life, how well the Pitt doctors treat all of their patients, what they'd do if a baby landed on their doorstep, and who they'd like to see make a guest appearance in Season 3. They'll be patiently hanging out in the tv world of waiting rooms waiting for Season 3 to drop next year. Until then, they're paging each every doctor from the Pitt to join them for a guest episode. Dr. Santos? Dr. Robby? Dr. King? Dr. McKay? Dr. Langdon? Nurse Dana? They girls are ready to scrub in when you are!

Ep 132: The Studio-Season 1
Reviewing Season 1 of The Studio. Isn't it great when two Sisters-in-law both absolutely love a show they are reviewing that is a tv show about peope who make moview who think they are really good about movies and it's reviewed on a podcast about tv shows (and sometimes movies?) Yeah, we think so, too. Two thumbs up for the cast, the writing, the art direction, and of course Brian Cranston in season one of The Studio. The girls talk about how they were both pacing during The Oner episode, how unbelievably chaotic and real this show is, and of course, Brian Cranston. They're so thankful the studio picked up The Studio for Season 2.

Ep 131: Plurabis-Season 1
Recapping Season 1 of Plurabis Amanda and Maggie were so excited to watch this show because apparenty everyone "couldn't stop thinking about it." The girls? Well, they had a hard time thinking about how they could make it all the way through, until they did. And one of them even ended up really liking the show. The girls talk about what they would do if they were in this situation, are they team Carol or team The Others, how put together Carol is when seemingly the entire world has fallen apart, and of course, another plea to anyone who is considering not leaning into the architure of their home to please consider otherwise.

EP 129: All's Fair, Season 1-Part 2
Reapping Season 1, Part 2 of All's Fair There's nothing fair about the fact this show is actually on TV but it's 2026 and here we are. Amanda and Maggie discuss this show in detail, much to Amanda's dismay. Maggie tries to convince her of all the redeemding qualities of this show while the only thing Amanda can get on board with is a nice, monochromatic dress code that really pulls an outfit together. Amanda is still floored there will be a season 2, but she's committed to this podcast, and more importantly, her wonderful sister-in-law, so she will through. Turns out, All is not Fair when recapping tv shows for a famous podcast.
