Despite the premieres of Breaking Bad and Political Animals, and another strong episode of Louie, we’re spotlight-less this week on The Televerse. Instead, after talking through a slightly more filled week in TV, including So You Think You Can Dance, Futurama, Awkward., Wilfred, the Black Dynamite premiere, True Blood, and Bunheads, Kate breaks down her experience at last week’s San Diego ComicCon and the TV-related panels she was able to see.
Louie holds onto the spotlight for another week, in what is far from a close race—thanks to the July 4th holiday, the pickings are particularly slim. This week, Simon and Kate briefly discuss Hit & Miss, Futurama, Awkward., Wilfred, and Bunheads and take longer looks at True Blood and The Newsroom (US), before breaking down another fantastic episode of Louie. Afterward, in preparation for the approaching release of The Dark Knight Rises, we welcome Gabe Bucsko from Mousterpiece Cinema to the DVD Shelf to delve into the ‘90s animated classic, Batman: the Animated Series.
Louie is back, and not coincidentally, so is our episode spotlight. After a look at the week’s TV, including fun, if not life-changing episodes of So You Think You Can Dance, Futurama, and Wilfred, the premieres of Twenty Twelve, Awkward., and Anger Management, the season finale of Eagleheart, and more mixed episodes of True Blood and The Newsroom (US), we gladly welcome Louie back to our televisions and lives with its highly entertaining season three premiere. Then we tackle the behemoth that is the San Diego Comic Con programming schedule, talking through what the Con has to offer in the realm of television.
This week, on The Televerse, Simon and Kate omit the spotlight segment, catch up with Louie season two, and Corey Atad from Just Atad and Sound on Sight comes on the show to talk Freaks and Geeks.
The Televerse podcast is back with our second episode! This week, Kate and Simon talk through the week in TV, including a look at Breaking Bad and finale talk for Rescue Me, Louie, Futurama, Torchwood, and True Blood. Then we give our picks for if we ran the Emmys, and finish up with some Buffy the Vampire Slayer talk, with guest host David Bax from Previously On and Battleship Pretension joining us at the DVD Shelf.
