In doing so we’ll be challenging ourselves to erase any knowledge of future episodes so we can deliver an unbiased opinion. At the end of each show we’ll tell you if this is a show we would green light or cancel. Tune in to find out which mega shows wouldn’t make the cut, what forgettable mistakes we give a pass, and who started exactly where they should be.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-25T18:18:49.691888+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-s1e1-podcast-3715607"},"episode":{"title":"S1E1: Significant Mother","slug":"s1e1-significant-mother","published_at":"2026-05-07T08:11:01+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-s1e1-podcast-3715607/s1e1-significant-mother","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-s1e1-podcast-3715607","url":"https://TheS1E1pod.podbean.com/e/s1e1-significant-mother/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/3irh42phdrw36hny/S1E1SignificantMother.mp3","summary":"\"Significant Mother\" is a comedy that premiered on The CW in 2015. Starring Josh Zuckerman as Portland restaurateur Nate Marlowe, the series kicks off when Nate returns home from a trip to discover that his recently divorced mother Lydia is now dating his longtime best friend and roommate Jimmy. Now Nate has to come to terms with the horrifying realization that his best friend may become his stepfather. Critical reception to Significant Mother was mixed, with many feeling the series relied too heavily on its uncomfortable central premise without developing the characters much beyond the initial shock value. Does this unconventional romance belong in the family photo album or should be grounded indefinitely? Listen as the S1E1 boys deep dive the show's pilot episode, \"Welcome To Bonetown\" and find out.
