The One with Pie
11/25/21 • 73 min
It’s Thanksgiving Time, and as with any holiday, here at the TV Sect, we have time-honored traditions of watching our favorite Thanksgiving themed episodes!
Sierra and Moni wax nostalgic about all their favorite Thanksgiving episodes and discuss how comedy and drama shows approach the holiday differently. They also talk about the problematic history of Thanksgiving, how television is changing how it represents the holiday, as well as the importance of having Native voices telling the stories we see both on screen and in the writers room.
In place of the devotional, Sierra and Moni say what they are thankful for this year. Be sure to check out our Search Party section on our website www.thetvsectpodcast.com for lists and links of the shows mentioned in this episode.

The TV Sect Podcast: Pumpkin Spice Edition
We’re back from our hiatus, and back to talking TV! Fall is here. It’s time for football, sweater weather, and Halloween nights. It’s also time for The TV Sect Podcast: Pumpkin Spice Edition.
This week were talking all about the shows that feel like fall, shows that just have that Pumpkin Spice aesthetic of a crisp autumn day, no matter what time of year the show takes place. We ponder on what makes a show feel Pumpkin Spice, what doesn’t, and why a show might choose to feel like a season. We also discuss Halloween episodes and specials.
In the devotional this week, Moni confesses to never finishing a quintessential Pumpkin Spice show, and Sierra has a desperate plea aimed at all Halloween marketing and commercial executives.

TV Weddings, Part 1
Bells are ringing here at the TV Sect, Wedding Bells! In this two-parter episode we talk all about TV Weddings!
As our listeners know, Sierra recently got married, and, due to a series of unexpected twists and turns, ended up having a quintessential sitcom wedding. We break down what that is, and why it works so well.
Writer, podcaster, video maker Matt Baume stops by to chat with Moni about television’s first gay wedding which he spotlighted on an episode of his YouTube show Culture Cruise (spoiler alert, it’s probably not the episode you're thinking of), and how the representation of same-sex weddings and of LGBTQ characters on TV as progressed over the years. (35:33)
At the end of the hour, we realize we have so much more to say (we have yet to get to drama weddings at this point), so we decide to make it a two-part episode, like most TV weddings.
