I don't know if you know this, but something is happening
right now on television.
There was an article that said that last year there
were 495 scripted TV shows.
It's something they're calling peak TV.
I think it's called peak TV because there
are so many shows you have time to just take a peek at them.
There's so many new shows on TV you
have to pretend you've seen some just so your friends won't
judge you and it gave me an idea for a game.
You're going to have to tell me what a TV show is about
whether you've seen it or not.
It's something I'm calling TV show and tell.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
All right.
If you see your name on the screen, come on down here.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hi.
Hi, nice to see you.
Head over there.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
Hello you two.
Hello.
Please introduce yourselves.
Who are you?
Emma Batiste.
Hi Emma.
Where do you live?
What do you do?
I live in Gardena and I work for the Department of Justice,
retired from the Department of Justice.
Wonder-- Retired, that must feel good.
Yes, yes.
Yeah.
All right.
And you are?
Phyllis Mosher.
Hi Phyllis.
Where do you live?
What do you do?
Boca Raton, Florida.
Retired interior designer, but I'm still working.
Oh, wonderful.
Never get tired of that.
All right.
And what is your favorite TV show?
Big-- CSI.
Big CSI?
That's, uh, the new one.
CSI.
CSCI and then big CSI.
Uh huh.
Yes.
And Phyllis, what's your favorite show?
Big Bang Theory.
Big Bang Theory?
Oh wow, well that's no longer on the air.
I know.
But you're watching the reruns probably.
Yeah.
Yes.
You had to think about that and you said yes I am, Ellen.
Do you have Netflix and Amazon and HBO and all those things?
No, I don't.
You don't have those things?
No.
Do you have them?
I have two of them.
We have Netflix and Amazon Prime.
All right.
But I don't watch them.
Oh darn.
Well, Netflix is there.
There's a lot of shows on Netflix,
including my stand up special.
You might want to check that out.
It's that's what we're [INAUDIBLE]..
All right.
You may not be interested in it and maybe that's
why you didn't get it.
No.
Here's how the game works, I'm going
to tell you the name of a TV show,
and then you're going to have to tell me
what you think it's about.
If you get it right, you get a point.
If you don't, I'm going to take a point away or give you
a point.
I'm not sure yet.
OK.
All right.
Here we go.
And if it's a good idea but it's not the show,
I'm going to sell it to Warner Brothers.
Emma, you'll go first.
The show is Peaky Blinders.
It's on Netflix.
You don't have Netflix, but just take a guess.
What do you think Peaky Blinders is about?
Peeking around, look and see who and what they doing and doing
this and doing that.
Yeah, right.
I'm going to give you a chance to steal Phyllis.
Do you think you--
Is that what Peaky Blinders is about?
No, Peaky Blinders is about people peeking in on Windows.
OK.
I think that's what she was saying, Phyllis.
That's what you meant right?
Yes.
Looking around, see what's going on.
Both of you are wrong.
It's minus 10 points for both of you.
OK.
Aw.
A family of gangsters in 1920s England who sew razor blades
into the peaks of their caps.
So sorry.
Phyllis, your show is Claws with a C. Claws.
It's on TNT.
What do you think Claws is about?
Teaching people how to use commas
and semicolons and periods.
C-L-A-W-S Claws.
Oh, maybe it's about Santa.
No.
It's all right.
I thought the spelling would clear things up,
but it did not.
Emma, what do you think Claws is about?
C-L-A-W-S.
Maybe jumping rope.
Jumping rope?
Claws.
Yes, Claws.
Jumping rope and turn around.
And doing all kind of things.
All your shows involve all kind of things like this.
All kinds of things and looking.
All right.
Looking around.
All right.
Phyllis and Emma, I've just deducted more points.
Five manicurists enter the world of organized crime
when they began laundering money for a neighborhood pain clinic.
Claws, like you know, like your nails.
Claws, not Santa.
All right.
Here's the next one.
We'll randomly start with you, Emma.
The next show is American Vandal and it's on Netflix.
What do you think American Vandal is about?
American Vandal might--
Maybe looking around again.
Uh oh.
You know, looking around to see what's
going on around the world again, just out there.
Just hanging out.
You've been watching too much Big CSI.
Something always going on.
Just trying to see.
All right Phyllis, what do you think American Vandal is about?
Bad vandalism and checking out what's going on.
OK.
All right.
So you add a little tiny bit of Emma's with yours.
Right.
Yes, all right.
It's all right.
It's an investigation into the aftermath
of a costly high school prank where cars were vandalized
with phallic images.
Oh.
Yeah.
All right.
You're both below minus 20.
Oh no.
All right.
Now you've heard of this one, Fleabag.
It's on Amazon.
Have you heard of that show, Fleabag?
No.
No?
All right.
What do you think it's about?
I'll start with Phyllis.
A lot of ants in bags.
Fleabag is about aunts in bags.
So--
Performing.
Oh, performing.
The answer, performing in bags.
OK.
Is marijuana legal in Florida?
CBD.
CBD is.
All right.
Whoo.
Ants in bags performing.
What do you think Fleabag is about Emma?
Well, I think Fleabags are--
They tried riding horses.
You know riding horses.
This is just seeing, just riding around everywhere.
They're around the horses.
Yeah, going around the horses.
Yeah.
Doing all kind of things.
Well?
All right.
Well, listen.
So neither of you win anything.
Oh.
No, no.
You're both winning 65 inch TCL Roku TVs
so you can watch whatever you want to watch.
