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.
Yesterday, FOX announced their Fall 2009/Midseason 2010 lineup and while I’m super excited to see more SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and FRINGE I don’t like their strategy. SYTYCD is my show, you know I love it more than anything but really do I need it in the Fall? I know their looking for their Fall IDOL but I’m not gonna have time to watch these dancers twice a week once all of my regularly scheduled primetime shows are in full swing. That’s annoying. So is moving FRINGE to Thursday’s against SUPERNATURAL (Grey’s, CSI, The Office and 3 Rock)… seriously? Not pleased.

We’re back and talking TV. We’re breaking down the past TV week for you and covering a lot of the week’s best shows including: Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Chuck, Gossip Girl, Castle, Idol, Better Off Ted, Damages, The Office, Grey’s Anatomy, 30 Rock, Dollhouse, Friday Night Lights, Party Down, The Amazing Race, Supernatural, Kings, Brothers & Sisters, My Boys, Greek and much more!
And it wouldn’t be a TV Talk Podcast without Two Idiots Talk Lost.
Oh, if you’re wondering where the frak the Battlestar Galactica Finale talk is, hold tight. We posted a special BSG Series Finale Podcast that will be posted shortly.
Housekeeping…
We received a ton of emails from listeners saying they liked the new chapter markers we made available for while last week.

Ducky’s back from vacation which means it’s time for another TV Talk Podcast! We have almost 3 weeks to cover so make yourself some tea, get a snack and settle in for the soothing cackles and rants we’re about to sling your way.
We start as we always do, Monday nights. BIG BANG THEORY and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER continues to be the best damn double bill on television. CHUCK goes to the suburbs, tests his best friendship with Morgan and breaks up with Sarah, say what? HEROES hits rock bottom and Matt Dallas shows his rock hard… abs!
THE BIGGEST LOSER 7 pisses Ducky off and shockingly Kath watched! PRIVILEGED aired what may have been it’s series finale and is to be continued but when considering The CW renewed a bunch of shows already. AMERICAN IDOL continues to rock on while randomly REAPER returns.
TOP CHEF has a shocking finale while Kath gets a shocker as she realizes she missed DAMAGES last week mid-recap.
SURVIVOR’s getting ugly, Sweeps are in March, 30 ROCK gets political, AMERICA’S BEST DANCE CREW kills it and I might kill Kath for something she says about BURN NOTICE.
Over on Friday’s there’s FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, DOLLHOUSE and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA to discuss before breezing through Sunday’s THE AMAZING RACE because really you just want to listen to…
TWO IDIOTS TALK LOST!
NEWS: We have a permanent home for the podcast, a new site! Visit: TheTVTalkPodcast.com
Chuck scored with a 3-D Superbowl episode, Gossip Girl sends Blair over the deep end, Heroes returns with some promise and the double punch of Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother once again make us laugh our asses off. Privileged said good bye to our boy Charlie, The Biggest Loser sent one pissed off contestant home and Fringe got prickly. Idol finally hits Hollywood week and America’s Best Dance Crew got all “It’s Britney Bitch” on us.
The Office got super-sized for the Super Bowl but did it score a home run, er… ABC falsely promotes a Grey’s/Private Practice crossover and Supernatural went back to the future. Battlestar Galactica got frakkin crazy while Friday Night Lights taught us how the other half lives. SNL scores a really hot but really random host and of course, Two Idiots Talk Lost!
As a bonus, it’s game time so get ready to play along at home.
The TV Talk Podcast with GMMR and Ducky is back and we’ve got a crazy amount of stuff to talk about. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA revealed it’s 5th Cylon, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS returns with some hot Riggins action, DAMAGES still blows our minds, PRIVILEGED begins to get lazy, and GREY’S ANATOMY slips on the “Stairway to Heaven”.
We know that the Emmy’s are still two months away but now that the nominations ahve been revealed we thought we’d give you our opinions on the 60th Annual Emmy Award Nominations.
We cover all of the main categories and gush over our boy Lee Pace, not to mention the validity of nominees and what it takes to be an Emmy winner. Sit back, have a Red Bull and settle in because we’re talking for almost an hour.
Hands down one of the highlights of the mega-bloated AMERICAN IDOL finale. I couldn’t have picked a better pairing for this song. One Republic’s “Apologize” for some reason is a song I don’t get sick of and I’m not tired of little Archie harmonizing with the boys either.
Watch David Archuleta Sing “Apologize” with One Republic from American Idol Season Finale
We said we’d be back with another TV Talk Podcast in a week but it took almost a week and a half, I think you survived just fine. GMMR was at the Upfront presentations so there’s plenty to talk about including her celebrity sightings, stalkings, and dancing partners. We’ll even talk about Joss Whedon’s DOLLHOUSE and J.J. Abrams FRINGE starring GMMR’s mega crush Josh Jackson. So You Think You Can Dance might get a couple minutes or five along with her time with The Office and Tina Fey!
Back to your regularly scheduled podcast, we head right into GOSSIP GIRL, AMERICAN IDOL, THE OFFICE, GREY’S, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and more. Plus, it’s the return of TWO IDIOTS TALK LOST (*we talk about the finale being this week but listener Michael pointed out that it’s not until May 29th - phew!) where we rehash the first hour of the three hour Season 4 finale, once again proving that even idiots can enjoy Lost. And as a bonus feature, we have a special guest to help us talk about the Season 3 finale of The CW’s SUPERNATURAL.
Sit back and relax because this Podcast almost hits 90 minutes. You read that right, 90 minutes of babbling, giggling, bitching, and TV Talk!

Tonight I probably won’t be watching the season finales of THE OFFICE or SUPERNATURAL live because I’ll be at the Apple Store co-chillin’ but that doesn’t mean I’m going to miss them or wait until this weekend to watch.
Over on the The Office, it’s time to say goodbye to Toby. I’m not complaining…
I promise I will watch both shows tonight and I will give LOST a perusal as well. Couldn’t Steve Jobs pick a better night for their newest flagship launch, damn?
Oh and then there’s LOST! Michelle Forbes (always frakkin’ amazing) guests tonight and it appears that we’ll glimpse the Oceanic 6’s rescue. I’m going to probably be crying my eyes out if anyone wants to watch, head on over to my house tonight.
Quickly I wanted to touch on a couple things about last night’s television as well.
This morning I’m ripshit because I missed the most talked about moment on American Idol. I don’t quite know how I missed it considering I watched almost the entire show… I’m talking of course about the freakshow that was Fantasia’s performance! Girl’s a straight up manic panic mess with that hair, and her outfit? Child, looked like two pigs wrestling in a lycra catsuit. Hideous! Watch Simon’s face toward the end of this so called performance. Genius.
And lastly, a moment of silence after the joy of seeing slammin’ sexy Sam (Season 2) return on Top Chef last night. Can they give that boy his own show or something? I would watch him weekly, if for no other reason than he would give my right arm a work out. Loves that boy (and yes, I went there).
TV Talk with GMMR and Ducky is back! After 7 weeks, we were finally able to see each other and dish all the dirt on our favorite shows.
Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, House, Gossip Girl, American Idol, The Office, Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, Supernatural, Battlestar Galactica, Brothers & Sisters, So You Think You Can Dance, Ugly Betty, Greek and so much more.
We take some last minute listener questions on which finale’s we’re most looking forward to and also which hot summer movies our fave TV stars are popping up in. Not to mention Kath gets to wax The Office finale after one Canadian listener begs for finale information.
Also, be on the lookout for the return of TWO IDIOTS TALK LOST! We watch the show but we’re not experts, sue us.

It’s a great week for all of us So You Think You Can Dancefans!!! First My 2007 Summer TV BF Neil Haskell scored himself a high profile gig in the Off-Broadway hit Altar Boyz and now it seems that a ton of the previous SYTYCD’ers will be strutting their stuff on tonight’s IDOL GIVES BACK special.
Here’s a picture courtesy of Celebrity Dirt that shows some Idol contestants wrapped around some Dance faves. I spy with my little eye: My 2006 Summer TV BF Travis Wall, Hammy McHamsalot Benji Schwimmer, Lacey Schwimmer, Hok, Danny Tidwell, my girl Donyelle, is that Cousin Heidi? Who else? Dmitry? Lauren’s stupid face with Jaymz… I think that’s Season 2’s Ashlee with her damn hat on the right. Is that Sabra with Archuleta all the way to the left?
I’ll try to find a higher-res photo. Until then though, how frakkin fun is that? Too bad I won’t be home to watch it tonight. Boooooo.
Last night’s American Idol was pretty lackluster in my opinion but David Cook’s performance of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” was fraktastic! It starts off a little odd but hot damn if it doesn’t turn into one of the best covers ever! Who’s smelling the next Daughtry?
Watch David Cook’s “Billie Jean” Performance:
As for the rest of the night, I’m hard pressed to pick a performance I cared about in the slightest.
My girl Carly Smithson somehow made one of my all time favorites “Total Eclipse of the Heart” dull and lifeless. She was shrieking at times, emotionless the rest and it just made for a really disappointing performance. I had huge high hopes and seriously, I was pissed when she was done.
I know that Aussie bum did a really good job last night but there are certain songs and artists that no matter who covers them, they seem like second rate karaoke. There’s no doubt that Michael Johns has a good voice and that he more than carried himself through Queen but I wanted something more original from the guy.
Brooke White reminds me of a hippy dippy homeless girl so I always have issues watching her but my issues aside, that was a boring rendition of The Police. The mix-up in the beginning was fine with me but it never caught my attention.
Archuleta is going down and hard. That performance was the worst crap ever…
Syesha Mercado can sing her little heart out and she’s wonderful but blah blah blah last night. Boring.
Obviously I wasn’t loving the night so I’m going to stop before I get too mean. Time to rewatch Cook’s performance and maybe even iTunes that bitch!
It’s Wednesday and I’m busy as a bee with my festival work and laundry, packing, etc. but I wanted to quick say a couple things about recent television.
Last night’s Idol was almost unwatchable in my opinion. I absoloved Carly Smithson’s cover of “Come Together” but really the majority of the others were just “eh”. I still can’t believe what a douche Simon can be sometimes… really, you can’t remember one of the front-runner’s names after how many weeks of this competition? Why don’t we all just call her the Irish Girl from now on.
What about little David Archuleta? That was painful to watch after he forgot the words. I actually fast forwarded through the rest because I couldn’t bear it. Poor thang.
Last night I spent most of my night running around town doing errands but I did manage to squeeze in The Biggest Loser: Couples and it was incredibly anxiety inducing. Having all of the former contestants come back and compete to come back into the competition was stressful. How about Curtis losing 100 pounds? And his wife? Amazing! I was even proud of the Grumpy Old Man. But the real deal was Ali who is half of her former self. She’s unbelievable and obviously intimidating because the rest of her new “team” lost their shit with her coming back into the competition!
What about Jillian losing her mind on Allison Sweeney? Cra-to the-zy! Loved it, she said about 50 expletives in the matter of 4 seconds and I felt the tension in that place. It was a hot mess!
They left us with a cliff hanger; either Brit or Mags are going home next week… supposedly. The preview promises a twist so I’m thinking either both are out or neither. The biggest news is that Project Runway’s Tim Gunn is going to be guesting next week for the makeover episode!
I’ll be on a plane tomorrow night when Make Me a Supermodel airs but head on over to my AfterElton blog to see a preview of tomorrow night’s episode and a sneak peek at a couple pictures from their trip to New Orleans.
Another week, another American Idol, another scandal involving contestant David Hernandez. The kids got more skeletons in his closet that I feel he’ll be forced out before too long. First we learned that he worked in a gay bar in Phoenix named Burn, and now it’s come out that he was a stripper for 3 years at a place called Dick’s! Head on over to my AfterElton write up to read all about it.
While you’re there, check out the newest video preview for Bravo’s Make Me a Supermodel with a much blonder Niki Taylor, a still sexy as all get our Perry, Ronnie’s moping around and the two best girls left to fight it out with all these damn fine menssss. (Video not up yet but will be soon, keep checking)
