I know two things in life… (1) I will never not love a hot man on television and (2) Matthew Bomer is the studliest of stud muffins. Don’t believe me? Just ask People Magazine - they don’t lie.

USA Networks’ WHITE COLLAR is one of my favorite shows on television right now and I swear it has nothing to do with Matthew Bomer’s piercing blue eyes. It’s not like they’re hypnotizing me so that I can’t change the channel… or ever look at another man… or force me unfollow one of my SYTYCD TV Boyfriends on Twitter…. that’s just crazy!

Anywhoozle! Who wants to win some a White Collar Prize Pack valued at $250? Ladies (and gays), it would make quite the Valentine’s Day present for the man in your life. I’m just sayin’…

How To Enter:
WHITE COLLAR is having a beyond stellar winter season and I’d love to hear why you love the show so much. Is it Bomer’s smile? Peter and Neal’s damn near butter chemistry? Is it Tiffani Theissen’s refusal to let her character be anything less than charming? Is it Stanford Blatch Willie Garson’s snarky snarkerton? Something draws millions of people to the show, tell me your story!

    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.

    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…)

    Life Unexpected Poster

    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.

    If you’re on BookFace, today is your lucky day! You can watch the first 10 minutes of the LIFE UNEXPECTED pilot right now, online! It’s The CW’s way of making a Monday even slightly bearable.

    LIFE UNEXPECTED premieres Monday, January 18th on The CW!

    CHUCK Season 3 Poster

    CHUCK SEASON 3 PREMIERES TONIGHT!

    It seems like ages ago when GMMR and I visited the set (check out our set visit report/pics) and chatted with the cast of CHUCK (listen to our interviews).

    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!

    If you want an in depth discussion about the first 5 episodes of Chuck, you won’t get it in this post. Who wants to read when you can hear yours truly talk about the first 5 eps. in the latest TV Talk Podcast?! We spend a good 15 minutes talking about the tone and direction for Season 3 (which includes mild spoilers) so check it out.

    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.

    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 Series 5 Logo

    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.

    CHUCK Season 3 Premiere Poster

    Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a Buy More mouse. Sarah’s stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that Chuck Bartowski soon would be there! Casey was nestled all snug in his bed, while visions of a fuzzy Morgan danced in his head. And Ellie in her ‘kerchief and Awesome in his cap, they’re just about to rise from a long network enforced nap…

    This is what all of you TV Talk Podcast listeners have been waiting for… GMMR and Ducky interview the cast of NBC’s kick ass comedy thriller, CHUCK!

    Season 3 premieres January 10th and as a Chrismukkah present to you all, GMMR and Ducky have a little gossip, a lot of scoop and some killer insight from your favorite CHUCK castmembers.

    Merry CHUCKmas Everyone!

    Another month, another sickness induced hiatus and not one but two surgeries later, GMMR and Ducky are back with a new TV Talk Podcast!

    Your favorite carcasters are back to talk about all of the TV we’ve soaked in from our hospital and sick beds.

    We kick off the podcast with the Season 6 finale of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Then we move on to the fall finales of GLEE and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.

    We sink our teeth into some TRUE BLOOD casting news then tackle the return of faves CHUCK and LOST.

    MODERN FAMILY and THE OFFICE were Christmas fantastic, as were 30 ROCK and the increasingly brilliant PARKS & RECREATION.

    HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and THE BIG BANG THEORY are always worth a good conversation as is the debate over THE GOOD WIFE.

    What else is on tap? How about MERCY, IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, THE SING-OFF, SAY YES TO THE DRESS, HAPPILY EVER FASTER and LAUNCH MY LINE.

    Did the right people win TOP CHEF and PROJECT RUNWAY? Who’s real pretty to look at and what’s our new TV Talk Podcast tagline?

    Thanks for being so patient with our crazy illnesses and busy schedules. We wish we could podcast more regularly than we do and we think it’s amazing so many folks care about what we have to say regarding all things TV! You guys are the best.

    Sit back, listen and leave us lots of comments about our newest chat-fest! Click here to listen to the latest TV Talk Podcast!

    Guess who’s not been blogging?

    THIS GUY!

    V - Tyler and Erica

    It’s hard to believe but tonight, V airs it’s last episode until 2010. That’s right, after only 4 episodes, the show is disappearing until March… Odd.

    “It’s Only the Beginning” takes us a little further into the world of the V’s, their medical advances, their possible agenda(s) and the resistance willing to risk everything to expose them.

    I was lucky enough to get a screener of tonight’s fall finale and I couldn’t have been more excited to pop that DVD into my laptop.

    I asked myself “Am I so addicted that I needed a quick fix”? Not so much… When I thought about it, I hoped V had finally fixed all the problems that have been bothering me.

    As you know, leading up to the Fall season I was a big supporter of the show. I loved the original 80s miniseries and had high hopes for this reboot. It has a killer cast, a great concept and enough sci-fi buzz surrounding it that it seemed like a slam dunk. The show premiered to huge ratings but the first few episodes have far from wowed me. That’s why I rushed to see the big “cliff hanger” episode before everyone else got their grubby hands on it.

    In my humble opinion, this episode is Only the Beginning… of the end for Ducky and V. (more…)
