Episode 2 of When Judy Went Upstairs - Special Holiday Edition - Jeremy leads the conversation with Zakiya and Camryn around the nostalgia of the sitcoms that explored the joy, the food, and iconic moments that set the tone for the Holiday Season

When Judy Went Upstairs brings together TV sitcom enthusiasts Camryn Crump (creator), Zakiya Ousley, and Jeremy Gibson as they transform “you watch too much TV” into a comedic scholarly mission.

While other podcasts focus only on their personal favorites, When Judy Went Upstairs explores all sitcoms and their most impactful moments — including the ones that didn’t make sense, like the disappearance of a key family member on a show about family, where suddenly one child just… didn’t matter. Those gaps, quirks, and mysteries become cultural clues the hosts love to unpack.

Each episode breaks down the impact of sitcoms on culture, music, spirituality, relationships, and everyday life. With segments like Hot Takes and Pass the Remote, the hosts reveal their boldest opinions, favorite clips, and personal stories—connecting sitcom chaos to real-world lessons.

Smart, nostalgic, and laugh-out-loud funny, the show proves that binge-watching wasn’t a bad habit… it was preparation.
