If you barely survived our bookcasts, don’t worry, we’re back to TV Talk-ing. We met up for an impromptu, late-night carcast and we’re in rare form. That’s right, we’re talking TV with the danger of asphyxiation. You know that’s something you want to hear!
Highlights:
Kath went to the mall (or the airport) with Colby Smolders.
Kath drew the attention of a security guard and calls a girl a stretched midge.
Ducky’s loves Beaver… No, that can’t be right!
Ducky educates y’all on the age of consent in Pennsylvania.
Find out which TV star is packing on the lbs in our opinion.
We’ve coined “Veggiesauce”
For some reason we talk about Two and a Half Men, what’s happening to us?
Kath questions the chances of us dying during this podcast.
Is it “Got VD?” or “Catch Wood!”

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.

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…)
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.
It’s been 7 weeks since our last podcast and 7 weeks since we last saw each other. You totally thought GMMR and Ducky had called it quits didn’t you? How dare you…
An extended gig in the Hamptons originally sidelined the podcast, then a horrible back injury kept this terrible TV twosome apart until now!
For our first big podcast of the Fall, we thought we’d make up for lost time with a huge 2 hour 10 minute carcast full of laughs, tears, a near death experience and even some New England leaf peeping!
Shows covered in this podcast:
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, BIG BANG THEORY, GOSSIP GIRL, HOUSE, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, THE BIGGEST LOSER, THE GOOD WIFE, V, GLEE, MODERN FAMILY, COUGAR TOWN, TOP CHEF, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, FLASH FORWARD, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, BONES, SUPERNATURAL, FRINGE, THE OFFICE, PARKS & RECREATION, 30 ROCK, COMMUNITY, GREY’S ANATOMY, PRIVATE PRACTICE, UGLY BETTY, DOLLHOUSE, SOUTHLAND, WHITE COLLAR, THE AMAZING RACE, SURVIVOR, DEXTER, MAD MEN and GREEK.
We hope you enjoy our ode to Fall TV so far this season and hope you’ll join in the conversation. Leave your thoughts on what we covered in the comments section of this post! We’d love to hear what you’ve got to say about the new Fall lineup.
These DEXTER Season 4 promos and posters are making me wanna catch up on the show I gave up on half way through Season 3. I don’t know what it was about the Miguel Prado storyline that bored me but it wasn’t moving fast enough and I was dreading the direction Dexter and Darla Rita’s relationship was heading and baby’s always ruin everything so I stopped watching…
I obviously need to pick up where I left off because the addition of Lithgow as America’s most successful serial killer has me very very intrigued!
If you’re not a fan of our SYTYCD podcasts, then you’re in luck! This week we’re back with a regular TV Talk Podcast with GMMR and Ducky. We decided to dedicate a lot of time to our other favorite summer obsession, TRUE BLOOD. We talk all things vamptastic and if you’re a fan of the show we’ve got questions we need answers to so pay attention and leave comments.
Next up is BIG BROTHER 11. After that, we talk a little bit about the amazing return of TORCHWOOD: CHILDREN OF EARTH and its shocking 5 night mini-series.
Last, we talk about all things COMIC-CON 2009. What panels we missed (CHUCK, BIG BANG THEORY, GLEE, LOST, DOLLHOUSE, SUPERNATURAL and more), which shows had the most impressive online presence and all the news/gossip that came out of the con.
Last year I almost jizzed myself when the extended DEXTER Season 3 preview flashed across the screens at Comic-Con and it pains me to not be there to witness it again this year.
Here in all its glory is the exclusive Comic-Con DEXTER Season 4 preview. It looks dark as sin!
The TV Talk Podcast with GMMR and Ducky continues with Part 2 of Episode #29! We pick up where we left off, with Wednesday night where we plow through Friday Night Lights, Pushing Daisies, and Dirty Sexy Money. On to Thursday where we cover Ugly Betty, the premiere of Kath & Kim, The Office, and the boys over at Supernatural. Sunday night has us loving The Amazing Race and bitching about the teams we hate the most.
After recapping the 2nd half of the week we play another TV related game. This week it’s “Character Crossovers” so play along at home. Leave us comments on both givememyremote.com and duckydoestv.com
Plus, stay tuned for one of the funniest asides we’ve had in the history of our podcast. You know you love us, xoxo
TV Talk with GMMR and Ducky is finally back! We discuss the new fall schedule day by day and break down our returning faves and possible new must-sees.
From Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Gossip Girl, Chuck to Heroes and My Own Worst Enemy on Monday. Tuesday’s are Biggest Loser, House, 90210, Privileged to Fringe and The Mentalist. Wednesday’s are all about Pushing Daisies, Bones, Private Practice, Dirty Sexy Money and Lipstick Jungle. Over on Thursday’s we’ve got Ugly Betty, Survivor, Kath & Kim, Grey’s Anatomy, The Office, 30 Rock, Supernatural, Life on Mars and Eleventh Hour. Friday night is all about The Ghost Whisperer (I kid) and The Ex-List and Life. Sunday’s we’re freaking out that The Amazing Race is back, Desperate Housewives, Cold Case, Dexter and Brothers & Sisters.
It’s a busy season folks, sit back and relax because we talk forever.
Sunday nights are pretty chillax once we get past the first few weeks of September. MAD MEN will be winding down (sadly) as will the latest installment of BIG BROTHER which leaves my Sunday nights surprisingly peaceful.
DEXTER begins Season 3 on September 28th which means there will be more bloody greatness from my man Dex Morgan. Jimmy Smits coming in this year as Dexter’s first true friend will make for an incredibly interesting new side to our favorite vigilante. Here’s to hoping Deb gets an actual romantic and non-psychotic relationship this year and does anyone else kinda want Rita out of the picture sooner than later?
THE AMAZING RACE finally returns for its 13th season and I’m dying for this show to come back. It seems like forever since we saw Kynt and Vixen bite it and the hippies TK and Rachel win the whole kaboodle. Plus, I need some Phil back in my life. The shows been gone so long that I almost don’t remember what a Detour is… I kid.
BROTHERS & SISTERS is a show that I’m so wishy-washy with. When I’m in the zone and watching it regularly I absoadore it but if it’s gone too long – I could care less. I used to look forward to it as a good cry, a way to let go the stress of a long week but eventually it stopped making me cry regularly and started annoying me constantly. Some of these Walkers are despicable human beings and it makes it hard to identify or love them. I’ll probably watch though, that’s how fickle I am.
A little birdie at Showtime tweeted about this DEXTERposter and it’s hilarious! I had to post this poster because if it is 100% for reals, it’s abso-frakkin-genius.
Dexter Season 3 cannot come soon enough! September 28th, get here now!
You know that this was one of my most anticipated panels and you know that there was a little part of me that thought I might wake up wrapped in plastic with a slight knick out of my right cheek… I’m just sayin! In other words, I had high hopes for the DEXTER panel and I was not disappointed. Well not completely; I would have killed to see Jennifer Carpenter but I’ll survive.
After the bore that was HBO’s True Blood panel, I was dying to see Kristin Dos Santos’ funky spunky approach at moderating Dex Morgan and Co. She’s such a fangirl that she always injects a crazy fun dose of frenetic energy into any panel she’s a part of and she did not let me down.
The panel kicked off with a never before seen extended trailer for Season 3 (premiering September 28th) that teased us about how the student is becoming the teacher (cue Dr. Horrible’s evil laugh)! Deb’s got shorter hair; there’s a botched job; Jimmy Smits’ family values obsessed ADA Prado made an appearance and overall it just looks kick ass.
Watch the full kick ass Dexter Season 3 Trailer:
Michael C. Hall (Dexter), Julie Benz (Rita), Clyde Phillips (Exec. Producer), another writer (how could I forget her name) took that stage and the bloody fun began.
