We’re back for the fall TV season with the perfect cozy comedy that probably flew under your radar when it premiered last month on Netflix: Each episode of Long Story Short jumps back and forth through time to tell the many stories (both big and small) of one hilarious and relatable Jewish American family. We’ll share some favorite jokes and why we can’t get enough of this fresh adult animation from the creator of another modern animated classic, Bojack Horseman.

Plus we’re taking inspiration from the show and diving into our own streaming history with updates on news stories spanning the Streamageddon archives (because everything old is new again in streaming):

• Is the new season of South Park piloting an anti-binge model for Paramount+?


• Sesame Street finds a new address (or two) after being kicked to the curb by HBO Max.


• Speaking of HBO: They’re rebranding their cable channels and Chris would like some credit for predicting these names, okay?


• Remember Netflix House? No? That’s okay, neither did we.


• RIP Hulu but also LONG LIVE HULU (don’t worry, we’ll explain).


• Plus the latest Jimmy Fallon project you’ve never heard of, casting news in one the longest-gestating streaming projects we’ve been following, and a peek behind the Marvel curtain with Kumail Nanjiani.

Note: This episode was recorded before Disney suspended (and then re-instated) Jimmy Kimmel.
