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.

-
The fish are getting bigger! Samantha Powell joins us for a wild night in Vermont in episode 1.18, “Caroline and the Ex-Wife”!

-
Oh no, it’s El Diablo! Jessie Weinberg joins us for some misadventures in babysitting in episode 1.17, “Caroline and the Kid”! We discuss epic tales told through face acting, surprising parallels between Caroline in the City and Hemingway, “Bulge Hackman”, mullets on youths, and the uniquely ‘90s humiliation of being bullied into a trip to Kinko’s. I believe that’s going to cost a famous director/choreographer his lunch money!
-
Ding! After the first delightful appearance of Elevator Lady in episode 1.16, “Caroline and the Proposal”, we were so excited to get a chance to chat with the hilarious Cathy Ladman! We talk about Cathy’s adventures on screen and in the writers room on Caroline in the City, what life is like as a stand-up comedian in the Zoom era, and the time she brilliantly turned the tables on the legendary Johnny Carson. Let Caroline wear sweatpants to brunch, you cowards!

Is it "break up or get married” time in The City? Jasmine Guillory joins us as we weigh Caroline’s biggest decision yet in episode 1.16, “Caroline and the Proposal”! Wax your comfiest chair and slap on a nicotine patch as we discuss satisfying rainy rom-com moments, the potentially sinister origin story of the Elevator Lady, and the single most unhinged guest star performance in the history of television. Del-issimo! Bouncy eggplants! Cerulean blue! It’s all metric now!
-
It’s the ‘90s, just go with it! Margaret H. Willison drops by our tower made of Sweet’n’Lows to debate just how “bad” a date can get in episode 1.15, “Caroline and the Bad Date”! Grab your neighborhood mimbo and cozy up for a lively discussion of terrible middle names for children, the evolution of conspiracy theory bros, whether or not there’s such a thing as “good” mansplaining, and several real-life dates of ours that make this one look quaint. We’re just inertia’s pawns!
-
Sincere amore? We know! Elise Laplante joins us this week at the partners’ desk for episode 1.14, “Caroline and the Watch”! Put on your best subway map tie and your dressiest rollerblades and glide along with us as we discuss such scintillating topics as hangry Richard, comedy in a pre-“That’s What She Said” world, the need for an HR person in The City, emailing “Jimmy” Burrows, and Skimbleshanks: the Railway Cat. Caroline in the City: it’s The Sopranos of three-camera sitcoms!
-
The heat is on in Saigon! Meghan Deans joins us this week as we journey to the frozen tundra of Peshtigo, Wisconsin in episode 1.13, “Caroline and the 28 Lb. Walleye”! Pull the bubbly out of the crisper and put on your best rage jeans as we ponder the dark origin story of Caroline’s art, biffed rom-com tropes, the water cooler conversations at Cassidy Greetings, “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Heart and Soul”, and the porch scene that melted our icicle hearts. Aw, Puddin’…
-
It’s like Shakespeare! Josh A. Cagan joins us this week as we see all of our heroes on their worst behavior in episode 1.12, “Caroline and the Married Man”!

-
More Monkeys and Bears, oh my! This week Adam Grosswirth helps us ring in 1996 in style in episode 1.11, “Caroline and the Gift”! The rabbit holes are deeper and wilder than ever as we discuss the reality of backstage at the Winter Garden, Richard’s enormous pants, Remo’s in Denny’s Mode, Alotta Fagina at the Life Cafe, and Del’s inadvertent invention of the Apple Watch. Toothpaste is good stuff!
-
Deck the halls with fresh cilantro! This week Chelsea Jupin joins us as Christmas comes early with episode 1.10, “Caroline and the Christmas Break”! We dive into a box of Snackwells and chat about Salty the Creepy Reindeer, Annie Spadaro vs. SantaCon, our erstwhile national obsession with Starbucks jokes, and the downright swoony moment that warmed our Caroline/Richard ‘shipping hearts. Who’s the fool?
-
Run, baby, it's a trap! This week Aysha Wax joins us as we peer into the cozy, inviting abyss of episode 1.09, “Caroline and the Convict”! Grab a cow pencil sharpener and make yourself at home as we investigate such mysteries as proper date attire, Caroline’s inner Karen, reformed felons vs. cartoon villains, size mattering in comedy, and whether cats should be allowed on the kitchen counter. What exactly is Del’s deal, anyway?
-
Here's the story of a lovely lady... Give thanks as David Levy joins us this week for episode 1.08, “Caroline and the Balloon”! Before the parade passes by, we pre-heat the oven and stuff the proverbial unseasoned bird with our various theories of Richard’s sexuality, tales of the early morning thrills of balloon chasing, and the answer to the burning question, “who the heck are Mike and Maty?” Hey Hollywood, your pants are ringing…
