Tread Perilously is a podcast in which hosts Erik Amaya and author Justin Robinson watch the “worst” episodes of popular TV shows, attempting to determine if they would continue to watch the series based on the most off-key moments.

This Week: Our House‘s “Home Again”

Tread Perilously‘s pilot season continues with the pilot of Our House: “Home Again.”

Curmudgeon and widower Gus Witherspoon is in for a change when his daughter-in-law and her three children move from Fort Wayne, Indiana to his Southern California home. Set in his ways, it is a rough transition, but through Gus’s old folksy mannerism and some understanding, they may just pull through. Meanwhile, granddaughter Kris attempts everything in her power to transfer out of Highland Park High to a school with an honors program that will be more advantageous for her ultimate goal: the Air Force Academy. Will Gus be able to help her?

Die-a-beat-us. It’s the watchword as Justin and Erik finally confront Internet legend Wilford Brimley. Erik once again reveals his arcane Days of Our Lives knowledge as Deidre Hall tries to leave daytime soaps for prime time drama. Chad Allen reawakens old enmities as the only male child in the ensemble and Shannen Doherty is, once again, one of the best things in an episode of television. Although, Brimley also establishes himself as a star presence. A second daughter once again proves Justin’s “One Too Many Kids” theory. Old-timey vocal impressions abound. The Thing may be among us and Bruce Davison enters the chat.
