More than just a sitcom podcast
With each episode strategically named after a line, episode, or moment in TV, we explore what these stories reveal about family, friendship, relationships, identity, community, growing up, and the world around us. Sitcoms have always reflected who we are, and each conversation uncovers the lessons, cultural moments, and shared experiences that continue to resonate long after the credits roll.
Pass The Remote
Pass the Remote is a signature segment where our hosts—and special guests—get the chance to pass the remote and share a memorable clip from any television sitcom that best fits the episode's theme, topic, or conversation prompt.
Along the way, viewers may rediscover forgotten favorites, uncover episodes they never had the chance to see, and gain a deeper appreciation for the storytelling behind the laughs.
Because sometimes all it takes is one scene to spark a memory, start a conversation, and remind us why we fell in love with television sitcoms in the first place.
“The only podcast exploring the impact of TV sitcoms through the universal themes that connect us all—where laughter leads to learning and entertainment becomes edutainment.”
When Judy Went Upstairs is a fun, nostalgic, and thoughtful conversation show where three friends—and devoted TV sitcom enthusiasts—explore the television moments that shaped our culture, our humor, and our shared memories.
Inspired by the infamous sitcom mystery of Judy Winslow's unexplained disappearance from Family Matters, the podcast uses one of television's most memorable unanswered questions as a jumping-off point for something much bigger: exploring the IMPACT of sitcoms that defined generations and the universal themes hidden behind the laughs.
While the title comes from Judy's story, When Judy Went Upstairs is the only podcast dedicated to examining the lasting impact of television sitcoms through thoughtful conversations that are entertaining, insightful, and surprisingly educational.
