Get ready for a whole lotta cookies!  Before we launch into season 2 of Caroline in the City, we take a flying leap into the dusty wilderness of the interwebs to explore the Caroline fandom, past and present!  Warm up the flux capacitor and journey back to the future with us to a world of cease and desist letters, arbitrary femslash, Weep Cutes, undercover strippers, and an expensive eBay item that besmirches the good names of all our heroes.  Yer a wizard, Richard!

Could it be… Satan?  We officially bid farewell to Season One with the infamous “hot dog show”, episode 1.24, “Caroline and the Condom”!  Flash back with us and hear our theories about the baffling clip show of highlights that never were: the relative jankiness of the Rum Tum Tugger, businessmen through pandemic goggles, correct amounts of muffin, pierced hats, and the magnificent glutes of Lutes.  Save room for “dessert”!

It’s an omen!  It’s cliffhanger time in The City as wedding bells of doom start to ring in episode 1.23, “Caroline and the Wedding”!  Don your best ren faire garb and crack open a bottle of Chianti as we attempt to answer the important questions:  Will “sincere amore” win the day?  Will Father Damian get a spin-off?  Will Del’s cousins arrive from San Francisco?  Is a hot dog dessert?  Did Richard pay for his breadsticks?  Are we making it all up?  Awooooo!!! 

Lock up your grownup lady blouses, Angela Lansbury!  We’re counting down to the worst-planned wedding of ’96 as Jessica Morgan joins us for episode 1.22, “Caroline and the Bridesmaid(s)”!  Ladle yourself a bowl of soup and join the party as we attempt to untangle the pretzel-like timeline of Caroline’s wedding festivities, examine the preponderance of leather pants in the late ‘90s, and lament the lack of Jordan Almonds in our everyday lives.  Cool it, Garfield!

Magnify!  Things get “raisin nipple nuts” as Kent Carney and Loren Cline join us for episode 1.21, “Caroline and Richard’s Mom”!  Dab on some guacamole and kick off your shoes as we go in for the works — Aaron Sorkin doppelgängers, poodle toenails, romantic moments at a Chili’s Too, rollerblade wheel hygiene, Emmy-worthy moments for Malcolm Gets, and some upsetting news for anyone who didn’t collect Beanie Babies as a child.  If a stripper can do it, you can too!

It’s so passé, it’s hip!  Ben Siemon joins us for a complete balanced breakfast in episode 1.20, “Caroline and the Cereal”!  Pour yourself a bowl and dig in with us as we ponder such imponderables as Remo’s new piercings, Caroline Duffy’s 2020 Twitter presence, strange films we watched in health class, who’s been clothes shopping at outdoor art fairs, and why April 1996 was a banner month for TV’s redheads.  Mambo!

Lights, camera… New Jersey!  Margaret Lyons joins us as the gang gets ready for their close-ups in episode 1.19, “Caroline and the Movie”!  We get into the finer details of joke-shaped packages, maddening sitcom shenanigans, the eternal battle of “sunniness vs. grouchiness”, close encounters with the Law & Order craft services table, and whether or not you should flash your celebrity crush.  Don’t forget the "good", good buddy! 

The fish are getting bigger!  Samantha Powell joins us for a wild night in Vermont in episode 1.18, “Caroline and the Ex-Wife”!  Grab a frosty Snapple (or Fruitopia, we don’t judge) and your best flammable windbreaker as we discuss Dollar Store Tony Danza, the dubious origins of Jamba Juice, Six Feet Under: Passaic, and acceptable lengths to go for a really good cheesesteak.  We’re all friends of Mariska here!
