The Televerse #61- Millennium with Robert K. Elder

The slow rollout of the fall season continues this week with the premieres of Happy Endings and Don’t Trust the B---- in Apt. 23. There’s also the probable series finale of The Thick of It as well as Halloween specials from Venture Bros. and Mockingbird Lane. Otherwise, we seem to be settling into the fall schedule. Before spotlighting this week’s fantastic Homeland, “Q&A” and welcoming author Robert. K Elder to the DVD Shelf for a look at the X-Files spinoff Millennium, we talk through our (rather extensive) week in TV.
