Episode 01-06: Watch Me Do This
Posted On December 25, 2019
Today we’re talking about Regular TV!
Jhen watches too much reality tv and Sham doesn’t watch it at all really so this is a good fit.
- Kamala Devi – one of the leads on Polyamory: Married & Dating also has a book! “Polyamory Pearls”
Apparently she’s a big sex educator or something despite her shitty show. - List of TV shows we discuss:
- Siren is the main one on TV right now and Jhen thinks it is done right.
- Interracial throuple: Black/Native American woman, hite man, white mermaid lady
- The mermaids are NOT cute
- Ben + Maddie are love according to Ryn
- Sham has never seen the show
- You Me Her is on Audience and Netflix and it portrays one of the worst ways to have a poly relationship in our opinion. This is a pick of both of ours!
- Premise: Married couple ends up dating a psych grad student who used to double as an escort for money. Fuckery ensues
- We think there are SO many red flags
- Jhen has been to Portland but never seen Portlandia
- On Audience TV which is like AT&T’s network and also on Netflix
- House of Cards is a Netflix series which we obvi don’t watch anymore because Kevin Spacey is a predator
- Frank & Claire seem to have a threesome with their secret service bodyguard (Meechum), Season 2 Episode 11 (it has Spanish subtitles)
- Here is an article recaping the episode
- Frank also had a side ooman that Claire was aware of, and she had a side man that he was aware of
- Frank seems to be a man who has sex with men (msm) or bi or something
- Steven Universe is on Cartoon Network and is 100% a Sham pick!
- Masters of Sex was on Showtime and was really a scripted series about a Thomas Maier Biography detailing the work of Masters & Johnson’s studies of human sexuality
- There was Non-monogamy in the show for sure but also a lot of cheating.
- Jhen stopped watching this show way before it ended
- Here’s the Wiki link about the show
- Big Love was the first big show Jhen remembers about non-monogamy on mainstream tv and she is TOTALLY breaking up with Sham because he has never seen it
- Mormon. 3 wives. Kids. stuff
- Jhen Loved and hated this show in equal measure
- She was not into Mormon stuff but it was still an interesting show about relationships. She STILL can’t believe sham never watched it
- Here’s the Wiki
- Swingtown was on CBS back in the day and was set in the 19070’s.
- This is a fan trailer about the show
- Honestly, we don’t know much about it aside from what we’ve been able to Google
- Here’s the Wiki
- Sense8 was on Netflix and while Jhen don’t really consider it a polyam show, she loved it!
- They have spiritual orgies
- Kala/Rajan/Wolfgang throuple endgame
- The show was cancelled but obvi they need to bring back Sense8 and psychic orgies.
- MTV Undressed
- We went down the rabbit hole on this one
- Actually came out in 1999 and ran until 2002 so we were WAY too young to be watching it
- There was supposed to be a reboot but honestly I think it wouldn’t be the same now.
- Here’s a link to Season 2 Episode 2 which is not great but is for free on YouTube.
- Here is an article on the oral history of Undressed
- Siren is the main one on TV right now and Jhen thinks it is done right.
