Raised by TV

Language: eng
Episodes: 11
Last: 10 Jan 2018

When Jon Gabrus and Lauren Lapkus were growing up, they watched a lot of TV. Like, a LOT of TV. Now adults with minds hopelessly warped by television, they’ve come together to indulge their shared obsession. On Raised By TV, Jon and Lauren revisit the best and worst TV of the late 80s and early 90s - everything from game shows and TGIF to Oprah and cereal commercials.
