I’m basically Liz’ing myself waiting for LOST Season 6 to begin! We’re less than two weeks away from the beginning of the end and I can’t stand the anticipation any longer. Plus, that means we’re only weeks away from the return of TV Talk Podcast listener favorite… TWO IDIOTS TALK LOST!
My friend Nancy is heading to the beaches of Hawaii in a few days to watch the premiere beachside, take the LOST island tour and just chill like one of the 815. Aside from being crazy jealous and wanting to slap her, I’m so excited that someone in my life will get to experience that crazy greatness!
With no beachside premiere in my future and only time to kill before we find out if Juliet’s really dead, if Locke and Titus Welliver are one in the same and if Richard Alpert will still look mascara clad and smokin’ hot, I suggest we spend some time with the following videos. They’re pretty frakkin’ great.
LOST in 8:15 (Seasons 1-5)

We survived another snow storm and another podcast! This week, the TV Talk Podcast gives you our thoughts on the winners and losers at this years GOLDEN GLOBES AWARDS.
DAMAGES Season 3 is hot on our heels and we briefly discuss the first two hours. Patty, Ellen and Tom are back for a killer season of manipluation and a sharp game of cat and mouse.
The most satisfying news from the winter TCA press tour revolves around the timeline for the next two seasons of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.
PROJECT RUNWAY returns to New York City and the reunion feels so good! Heidi, Michael, Nina and Tim Gunn try to make it work with a new back of 16 designers. We’re already in love!
AMERICAN IDOL kicked off another season and Ducky may or may not be back on the bandwagon.
It wouldn’t be a TV podcast unless we talked about the Leno/Conan Late Night Debacle. What a shit-show…
Oh and did I mention we talk about AVATAR? Why not!
We end this week’s podcast with some fun and games! Get ready for a few rounds of “Would You Rather”: TV Edition.
The 67th Golden Globes Awards air tonight on NBC! I’m not a person that puts a lot of stock in awards shows but I do love me an awards show gathering. It’s chips and dip time y’all! Oh and the fact that Ricky Gervais is hosting makes this must watch television.
As I sit here this morning looking at the list of Golden Globes nominees, I’m realizing I don’t have much of an opinion when it comes to the film categories. Apparently I spend too much time watching films that grace the festival circuit and not the multiplex.
Does that mean I don’t have an opinion? Hardly, I always have an opinion!
Here’s how I’d like to see the Golden Globes shakedown when they air tonight (my picks are in bold). I’m not saying this is what I think will win, but in my heart what I wish would take home the golden sparkly thing. Let’s start with TV!
Best Television Series: Drama
“Mad Men”
“True Blood” “Dexter”
“Big Love”
“House” I really wanted to say TRUE BLOOD but some of that Maryann shit got cuckoo bananas and derailed the show at times. MAD MEN is always fucking crazy good but this season took some time to completely hook me. DEXTER on the other hand had possibly its best season to date. So gooooooooood!
Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series: Drama
Jon Hamm, “Mad Men”
Hugh Laurie, “House” Michael C. Hall, “Dexter”
Simon Baker, “The Mentalist”
Bill Paxton, “Big Love” No contest in my opinion… Michael C. Hall should win. He played the charming, dutiful husband and father with LEAVE IT TO BEAVER grace but he also played a manic, hell bent, jealous and at times loose canon Dex this season. Scary good.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series: Drama
Anna Paquin, “True Blood”
Kyra Sedgwick, “The Closer” Julianna Margulies, “The Good Wife”
Glenn Close, “Damages”
January Jones, “Mad Men” While I thought January Jones did a killer job this season, she’s no Glenn Close. But I didn’t pick Glenn Close because I’m ready for a newbie this year. I’m going with Julianna Margulies because her controlled yet crazy empowering portrayal of Alicia Florrick is mesmerizing to watch.
Best Television Series: Comedy
“30 Rock”
“The Office”
“Glee” “Modern Family”
“Entourage” Surely most of you thought I’d pick GLEE for this category. While I think it has a better chance at winning (I mean its hands down the most original series of the year), I’m still going with MODERN FAMILY! Family continues to be a smart, witty, laugh out loud dark family comedy that hits your heart from week to week. Best Series in any category… Period!
The rest of my Golden Globes TV and Film predictions are after the jump… (more…)
We’re only one week away from the premiere of my new favorite show, LIFE UNEXPECTED! I’ve seen the first 3 episodes a couple times now and I can’t wait for everyone else to see what is sure to be The CW’s newest breakout hit.
LIFE UNEXPECTED is about finding and creating the family you were always meant to have. Lux (Britt Robertson) is looking to be emanicipated from the State’s Foster system but needs her birth parents to sign off. Enter Baze (Kristoffer Polaha) and Cate (Shiri Applebee) whom had a prom night fling 16 years prior. He’s a hapless man-child that owns and lives above a bar. She’s a local radio talk show host making a living on being the next Carrie Bradshaw (even though she’s secretly dating her co-host played by Kerr Smith).
It’s classic WB folks! It’s got biting wit, hilarious dialogue and a crazy amount of heart. If you loved FELICITY, GILMORE GIRLS and even DAWSON’S (the early years) then this show is for you. Trust Me!
Honestly, I can’t say enough about LIFE UNEXPECTED. The episodes just keep getting better with every viewing. I laughed, I cried… you know the rest.
It seems ages ago when that tall drink of water that can fill a pair of pants Brandon Routh shook my hand and introduced himself to me… *swoons*
It seems like eons ago since Chuck Bartowski learned he knew Kung-Fu and Capt. Awesome realized the lovable nerd is more than the king of Buy Moria…
Tonight the world finally gets to see what I’ve been sitting on for quite some time (“That’s What She Said” – shut it…), that CHUCK is back and kicking some major ass! Over the next two nights you’ll be treated to the first 3 hours of Chuck Season 3. That’s right, three episodes over two nights. It’s Chuckvana!
But before you go, I’ve got some highlights and quotes from the first 3 episodes of CHUCK Season 3 that you may or may not want to know (so they’re going after the jump) (more…)
Fall Schmall… The Winter 2010 TV schedule is cuckoo-bananas! Ducky and GMMR sat down, screeners in hand, mapped out all the premiere dates and dished the dirt on all the new and returning shows.
What did we think of the first 5 episodes of CHUCK Season 3? What about the new season of 24 featuring Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff)? What about new shows like LIFE UNEXPECTED, THE DEEP END, CAPRICA, HAPPY TOWN and HUMAN TARGET?
Want to know when DAMAGES, LOST, SOUTHLAND, GLEE and NURSE JACKIE return? Want to know how long you have to wait for Lauren Graham to shine in PARENTHOOD? How many more weeks until the return of TV Talk’s recurring listener fave “2 Idiots Talk LOST”?
Remember all those shows we totally forgot to talk about during that last few podcasts? Well, it’s about time we got to them don’t you think? Don’t worry though, we’ve added in a few more recent episodes to talk about as well.
First up is the Season 3 finale of MAD MEN. We’re a couple months late but we just couldn’t ignore it any longer. Next is the recent Season 4 finale of DEXTER. Then we’re on to WHITE COLLAR, BETTER OFF TED, SCRUBS and UGLY BETTY.
You begged, you pleaded and you sent hate mail so we decided to spend some time with the hot boys of SUPERNATURAL. That’s right, the cramazing fall finale is discussed in great length and we may or may not have shed a tear or two for the fallen.
Talk about shedding tears, Ducky talks about DOCTOR WHO’s send off for the brilliant David Tennant. (he’s still a little misty over it all)
Then we’re on to cable shows like JERSEY SHORE, REHAB, ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY and MAN VS FOOD before talking about a possible GLEE burnout.
DOCTOR WHO just ended and I’m still wiping the snot and tears from my face after losing David Tennant as The Doctor. But, just as the Time Lord must move on, so must we. Here is the first preview featuring the new Doctor, Matt Smith.
DOCTOR WHO Series 5 Preview:
Um, I spy River fucking Song! I spy the Weeping Angels! OMG ss that a vampire? GAH!
I’m super excited to see what Steven Moffet does with a new Doctor – fingers crossed he doesn’t fuck it up. Until Spring 2010, I’ll be in mourning. Please send me all of your black clothes because I have a limited amount of suitable black attire.
