The Televerse #67- Friends with Sarah Dowdey and Deblina Chakraborty

This week on the podcast, we once again skip the spotlight in favor of a lengthier week in TV. After running down some Tuesday comedies (Ben and Kate, New Girl, The Mindy Project, Happy Endings), we talk Parenthood, Top Chef Seattle, Supernatural, Nashville, The Hour, the Thursday comedies (30 Rock, Parks and Rec, It’s Always Sunny…, The League, NTSF:SD:SUV::), The Vampire Diaries, Last Resort, Fringe, 30 for 3o, The Amazing Race finale, Bob’s Burgers, Homeland, and The Voice. Then Sarah Dowdey and Deblina Chakraborty from How Stuff Works.com and Stuff You Missed in History Class come over to the DVD Shelf to help us take a look at Friends, the quintessential ‘90s sitcom.

The Televerse #25- Fawlty Towers with Michael Rice

It’s another in-person Televerse, as Simon’s down in Chicago this week. After talking through a somewhat mixed week in TV, Simon and Kate settle on Justified’s “Thick as Mud” as this week’s spotlight episode. Then we welcome Michael Ryan from the OperaNow! podcast to the DVD Shelf to discuss, well, certainly not the war!, but the classic British comedy, Fawlty Towers.
