Before the world changed and Americans were asked to stay at home to “flatten the curve” and prevent the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, “Medical Police” co-creator Rob Corddry and star Rob Huebel shared some of their TV picks — both high- and low-brow — for Variety.
For the second episode of Variety’s “My Guilty Pleasure,” Corddry and Huebel sat down with senior editor Michael Schneider to reveal their (1) TV guilty pleasure; (2) the “deep cut” show you probably haven’t heard of but they recommend; and (3) their “show-mate” — in other words, the TV series neither of them could live without.
“Medical Police,” now streaming on Netflix, is the successor to beloved medical drama parody “Childrens Hospital.” This time, the show is inadvertently timely: it’s a medical cop spy drama set amid the spread of a potentially world-threatening virus.

Discovery’s Motor Trend streaming service is reviving “Top Gear America” with a new trio of hosts: Dax Shepard, Rob Corddry and British journalist Jethro Bovingdon.
Set to debut in the spring, the series marks the latest effort to put a U.S. spin on the enduring U.K. franchise that celebrates the automotive world by putting the hosts through a series of racing- and travel-related challenges, among other elements. The Motor Trend announcement includes a photo of the hosts with what appears to be a new incarnation of the show’s famed mystery driver — whose identity is always shielded by a helmet — known as “the Stig.”
“What an extraordinary trio to add to the storied history of the ‘Top Gear’ franchise,” said Alex Wellen, global president and general manager of MotorTrend Group. “Individually Dax, Rob and Jethro bring unique experiences, perspectives and genuine passion for the automotive world. Together...
