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, white 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!

    • He talks a lot about the gem fusion stuff

    • Here is the link about the show in general

    • Here’s the 6 gem link up we discussed.

  • 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 didn’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
