We can’t exactly say we’re surprised, but after finding the positives in both Jury Duty and Bio-Dome, we’d held out hope for Pauly, the exceptionally short-lived 1997 Fox sitcom that officially sank Pauly Shore’s career, to have at least some redeeming qualities. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t, but we still watched four of the five existing episodes so you don’t have to! We’ll be back next week to wash the taste of our mouths with some Thanksgiving-themed Totally Pauly.

00:00:00 Original TV ad for Pauly

00:01:41 Our Halloween minisode

00:03:08 We liked Bio-Dome, so if we say Pauly is bad, we mean it

00:03:21 It’s also worse than Jury Duty

00:03:27 The episode where we talked about Future of America

00:03:41 Possibly also worse than In the Army Now?

00:06:18 “Behind the Weasic” by Greg Beato, SPIN, October 1999

00:07:59 Would Pauly in Bram Stoker’s Dracula (Francis Ford Coppola, 1992) really be that much weirder than Keanu?

00:08:13 Pink Diggily Diggily (1994), the title of which… doesn’t inspire confidence

00:11:06 Pauly Episode 1: “Pilot” (Robert Berlinger, 1997)

00:16:52 (It was Oakland, actually)

00:27:38 Pauly Episode 5: “Through the Ringers” (Amanda Bearse, 1997)

00:30:16 Pauly Episode 2: “Spies Like Us” (Amanda Bearse, 1997)

00:33:26 Pauly Episode 4: “Foreplay” (Terri McCoy, 1997)

00:35:55 Fox’s nonsensical print ad for Pauly

00:36:55 Amy Hill’s previous appearance in the Dystopian Dance Party Cinematic Universe

00:37:10 “Amy Hill on being Hollywood’s ‘go-to Asian’ and why working with Mike Myers was hell” by Marah Eakin, The A.V. Club, October 25, 2016

00:40:04 We talked about Chillin’ with the Wiez in our May minisode

00:42:49 Whoops, we should have come up with the idea of a voice acting minisode before we recorded a whole episode on the Goofy Movie franchise
