The TV Talk Podcast with GMMR and Ducky finally tackles more of your listener and reader questions!
First up we tackle the mid-season shows we’re looking forward to (including returning faves): Dollhouse, Cupid, Castle, Leverage, Truth in Advertising, Lost, 24, Battlestar Galactica, Damages, Nip/Tuck.
Don’t forget that some of our favorite summer shows finish off their runs as well… we’re talking The Closer, Burn Notice and My Boys to name a few.
Want to know the fate of Scrubs and The CW’s Reaper and if/when they’ll return? We’ve got the scoop.
What about the DirecTV/NBC split of the amazing Friday Night Lights - are we watching and if so what do we think? First of all, don’t question our loyalty to the Dillon Panthers; Second, just listen.
How did our favorite shows hold up during November sweeps? We’ll cover everything from Heroes to Chuck, Supernatural to The Office so get ready for our picks of the best and worst of fall sweeps, stunts and special guests.
This week Pushing Daisies was canceled - Kath and I give our thoughts. RIP!
So what else could we possibly talk about? Is scaredy-cat Kath watching HBO’s True Blood? What’s the deal with the Arrested Development movie? Why is Tricia Helfer the go-to-gal for guest starring roles and oh sweet lord, why does Britney’s have another reality show?
Last but not least we have another game for you all to play along with at home! This episode we’re breaking hearts and creating our most interesting ’ship!
Oh and you’ll never believe this but in a TV Talk first, we talk about One Tree Hill… WTF?
It’s a good day for TV Geeks everywhere! ABC announced today that they have picked up pilots for two new shows that nerds are bound to go gaga for.
First up is Captain Hammer’s pilot CASTLE in which Nathan Fillion plays a mystery writer who helps the NYPD to help solve crimes. I don’t care what it is as long as Nathan Fillion and his penishammer genius self is in it. This better not interfere with a Dr. Horrible sequel because if it does in any way shape or form, I hope the show gets canceled. Yes kids, I’m evil selfish like that.
The long talked about redux of CUPID was also given the go-ahead today. Rob Thomas’ remake of his 90’s show will hopefully see the light of day. Bobby Cannavale fills in for Jeremy Piven and Sarah Paulson takes over for Paula Marshall. Fingers crossed there’s a role in there somewhere for Tina Majorino because I want her back on my television right this second.
Yesterday, Rae and I were able to get into the DR. HORRIBLE Panel with seats that were not too shabby but with little time to spare. I was able to record the entire panel and have it here for all of you to listen to. The panel was hilarious, Nathan Fillion stole the show which is something with Neil Patrick Harris is in the room. The entire cast was there including the glorious and luminous Felicia Day and Simon Helberg (Moist) not to mention writers Jed Whedon, Zach Whedon and Marissa Tancharoen.
As you’ll hear, there are lots of Hammer/Penis jokes so get ready to laugh your ass off. I will warn you that there is some neighbor cell phone interference every 8 minutes or so but it’s really not too bad.
If you’re already a loyal TV Talk Podcast subscriber, this panel will automatically download to your iTunes (or may be sitting there waiting for you now)!

I couldn’t love Kristin Chenoweth and Neil Patrick Harris any more than I already do, or maybe I could. I’m going to hump both of them next week at Comic-Con and we’ll have musical blogging babies!
We’ve all been waiting and finally the day is here. Some thought that July was about the 3G iPhone and Comic-Con but really it’s about the premiere of Joss Whedon’s soon to be masterpiece DR. HORRIBLE’S SING-ALONG BLOG!
You only have a limited amount of time to watch Dr. Horrible Part 1 so get on it and witness the genius that is Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day! NPH delivers and then some, the guy is a frakkin’ master! Nathan Fillion is looking beefcake hot in his tight nipple shirt and Felicia is a vision of pasty chalk white beauty! And the good news is that so far, no line is mostly filler!
Watch Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (Part 1) before it’s gone. Part 2 begins Thursday July 17th and the final act begins on Saturday July 19th. If you missed any portion, they will all be available on iTunes and the DVD should be out sometime this fall.
For those of you not going to COMIC-CON this year, consider yourselves lucky because if you knew the anxiety and rage the scheduling has caused me and my fellow TV Bloggers, you’d be fine just staying home. There are so many TV panels this year and so many things I want to do that either overlap each other or run too close to ever hope of getting in, so trying to decide what to see is like Sophie’s Choice up in this place.
Here are the panels I’m interested in attending and as you’ll see, it’s nearly impossible to attend half of the things I’m excited about.

Do you see how agonizing it is to try and plan your days? Saturday is seriously OOC and I’m sure many decision will change in the spur of the moment. What you don’t see on here are the parties we’re RSVP’d for and the Press Rooms we’re hoping to do as well. Add press rooms for most shows on Saturday and you’d have to have 3 Buffy Bots to help you cover it all.
Regardless, I’ll be there with many blogger friends and we’ll be podcasting every day and recording as many panels as possible to post here on Ducky Does TV so stay tuned!
We threatened to never do another TV Talk Podcast if you didn’t flock to iTunes and leave us comments… well I’m happy to report that you love us as much as we love you! Thanks to your generosity, we are back and this week’s podcast is a lot of fun!
We revise our thoughts on Swingtown now that we’re both completely caught up (and loving it), we talk about my chat with Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica) and her stint on Burn Notice plus some scoop on her new Fox pilot Inseparable.
Next we tackle one of the most talked about Fall pilots, J.J. Abrams FRINGE! Kath and I will review the plot, the mystery and the hotness that is Josh Jackson but don’t worry we don’t spoil anything for you! We’re good like that!
Then it’s time for some listener emails because you guys are cramazing!
Who wants to talk Comic-Con? No? Tough because we run down the shows that will be in San Diego and vent our frustrations over the scheduling. If you’re going to be in town for Comic-Con and you’re a reader or listener, let us know… we’d love to see you!
Before wrapping up this week we have a little fun with our TV version of F, Marry, Kill! That’s right, we each pick one we’d boink, one we’d marry and one we’d go Dexter Morgan on. join in the fun and leave us some comments about who you’d F, Marry and Kill based on our choices. We’ll read some of them on the air in our next podcast.
