Making Mt. Rushmore #51 - 2000s Sitcoms & 2000s TV Dramas

In the fifty-first episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Steve Bennett and Chad Campbell to discuss which 2000s TV Sitcoms deserve a place on their respective lists. Is the Office a no-brainer? What about 30 Rock? Does Curb Your Enthusiasm grab a spot? Does That 70s Show or Entourage deserve a place?
After that, they discuss which 2000s TV Dramas will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that the Sopranos shouldn’t get a spot? Will Mad Men be included? Is the Wire in the conversation? What about the O.C. or Deadwood?

PTBN's NBA-Team: Wrap It Up, But Who Takes It?

As the regular season comes to a close, and the playoff seedings bounce around more than trades and free agency, Andrew Riche and Adam Murray, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are sorting through the last week of regular season playoff positioning and tanking chaos and try to make sense out of the upcoming 2024 NBA postseason. Which of the top three teams in Western Conference really did scare their lower seeded opponents, and is it possible that we see the end of the Golden State Splash Brothers era? Are there any play-in teams scarier than the Sixers with Joel Embiid back and the Lakers with a fully healthy Anthony Davis & LeBron James? Can ANYONE give the 64-win Boston Celtics a scare in the first round? Why did Adam consider this season... kinda fun after all?!
