The Televerse #130- Informed Opinions: Doctors and Medicine on TV

The Olympics have given us one more light week of television, but with a handful of premieres to preview, there’s still plenty to discuss on the podcast. First we take a look at some of the coming week’s pilots and premieres (Mixology, Legit, The Americans, and The Red Road), then we talk through a lighter week in television, including the About a Boy and The Amazing Race premieres, and we round things out with another installment of our Informed Opinions series. This time, we’re joined by two doctors, Steph and Rob, to discuss representations of doctors and medicine on television.

The Televerse #88- The Americans Season 1 with Randy Dankievitch

We had a lot to say this week on the podcast, thanks to a full and at times controversial week in television. First we look at a handful of the week’s many comedies, then spend some quality time with genre (in particular a certain misbehaving Doctor), then tip our hat to some reality winners, and finally dive into some drama before spotlighting the fantastic “Plato’s Cave” from Rectify. Afterwards, Randy Dankievitch from Processed Media and SOS joins us to take a look at what has been a hugely successful first season for The Americans.

The Televerse #77- House of Cards Season 1

Cable and network TV midseason premieres continue this week with the pilot of Zero Hour and the season premieres of Southland and The Amazing Race, but of the three, only two shows will make the cut for continued week-to-week coverage on the podcast. These make for a fun week in TV this time, then we spotlight The Americans’ latest, “Gregory”, and dive into an in-depth look at season one of House of Cards, which hopefully listeners will have been able to finish over the past few weeks.

Then Kyle Nolan from NoReruns.net joins us at the DVD Shelf to talk about the 2008 remake of the post-apocalyptic BBC series Survivors.
