Episode Description

The Golden Globes honor both film and television, but network TV shows have largely been excluded from major awards in recent years.

"Abbott Elementary" remains a rare network contender versus streaming giants like HBO, Netflix and Apple TV. Although ultimately overlooked, it was the only network nominee for Best Television Series in the drama, musical or comedy, or limited series categories.

On this week's episode, hear from Chris Perfetti, one of the stars of the ABC comedy "Abbott Elementary."

Co-host Bruce Miller, who recently retired as editor of the Sioux City Journal, has been going through decades of film negatives of photographs he took of Hollywood's biggest stars and shares his thoughts on what he's uncovered.
