Alan is a television critic for Rolling Stone. I think he was the first person who recapped television. Maybe not the first, but one of the first. We used to just watch TV and that would be, you'd never think about it again. And then Alan was like, no, I'm going to write. We did it for the Sprannos and NYPD Blue.

He's written a great many books, two books on the OC, Breaking Bad, book on the Sprannos. He and Matt Zoller Seitz wrote a great book about the 100 greatest television shows. Alan, thank you for joining us.

I agree with that 100%. Yeah. So you missed, we did say though, what if there were like two other categories? One is additional reading, which is these are important if you were doing a college course on it. And another would be Kim's videos, which is this is not, you know, high art. But if you're sort of like a deep cut fan. Outsider art. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, it's got the two Chrises, the big two. Yes. You know, kids, before it was like Evans and Pratt and Pine. Our Chrises were Dodd and Walken. Alan, is it safe to say that you were a fan, having written two books about the OC, that you were a fan of Dear Sister?

It did not require any knowledge of the OC. And I would argue that while OC fans might have liked that moment of, oh, I recognize this. I don't think OC fans enjoyed it any more than, say, I did not having known the scene. Agreed.
