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…)

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!

Another carcast, another rainstorm and another podcast over an hour! This week Kath and Dan kick off the podcast talking about TOP CHEF LAS VEGAS. From foodies to fangbangers, its off to Bon Temps and a little TRUE BLOOD.

BIG BROTHER 11 kicked another psychotic houseguest out while we dodged planes landing on the highway.

We talked the NURSE JACKIE finale and MAD MEN’s latest episode before catching up on old shows. From GOSSIP GIRL to DOLLHOUSE to SUPERNATURAL we talk the good, bad and tragic about the shows we’re catching up on this summer.

It’s our last podcast before our Fall TV Previews so do not miss out on all the summer fun.

Tonight is the finale to one of my favorite summer shows, NURSE JACKIE! It has been a very intense season for Jacks and the crew at All Saints but honestly, haven’t you fucking loved every second of it?

NURSE JACKIE brought the hotness monster that is Peter Facinelli back into our lives; PUSHING DAISIES’ Swoozie Kurtz back to TV as a lesbian Mom; two more gays (MoMo and Thor) to the summer lineup; a hottie husband (Dominic Furmosa) with a heart of gold; the stylinist doctor on TV with the sharpest tongue (Eve Best as O’Hara); and hands down my favorite new character of the summer… Zoey (Merritt Wever FTW)!

Obviously then there’s the titular character of Jacks played by the always incredible Edie Falco. Jackie’s a pill poppin’, lying, cheating, scheming and swindlin’ woman we really should hate but in reality fucking love. She’s screwed up, her morals are all over the place and she’s got bad hair but at the end of the day she’s doing what she thinks makes up for all the wrong in the world (or that she’s created) and for that you can’t help but love her.

Tonight, everything comes crashing down on Jacks and the rest of the All Saints staff so get ready to laugh and possibly cry at the season finale of NURSE JACKIE. Just so you know… it’s so good that you’ll be pissed the season’s over and that these characters are gone for another 9 months.

Check out two preview from tonight’s finale:

NURSE JACKIE airs tonight at 10:30pm on Showtime

It’s a short podcast (carcast) this week but we’ve got a special guest, lots of caffeine in us and plenty to cover so let’s get to it!

First off we talk London hotties, car bombs, and travel tips for the unemployed. Then its on to some depressing news that will just kill ya regarding TRUE BLOOD, NURSE JACKIE and ABDC before moving on to some interview action, spoilers and more from the kick off of the GLEE Tour!

The MAD MEN Season 3 premiere was cramazing and on topic are the British Invasion, doormen, handjobs, pesky children and the state of the Draper marriage. Plus, Ducky needs your help figuring out who an actor is so pay attention and play along at home.

The bag of dicks that is the BIG BROTHER 11 house erupts this week and it makes for some great entertainment.

Tim G. thanks us for turning him onto one of our favorite shows and we preview a possible new GREEK sorority.

We’ve got some information about our upcoming FALL TV Preview Podcast(s) but we still need your help on how to talk about the plethora of shows coming at us.

Like I said, we’re a little out of control but hopefully you enjoy this week’s episode. As always, thanks for listening guys!

I know that I’m a really horrible TV Blogger, I get it and I know it sucks. If I’m not gallivanting here or there, I’m too busy doing X, Y & Z or like this past week… packing and moving. That really puts a huge kink in television viewing which then means I’ve got nothing to blog about.

Trust me, it annoys me more than it annoys y’all. The only thing I can tell you is that Kath (GMMR) and I plan on doing another podcast as soon as possible because we know there’s a ton of stuff to talk about.

What are you all watching? What do you all want to talk about? Should we talk about Jason Stackhouse’s abs (TRUE BLOOD)? Thomas Jane’s monster wang (HUNG)? HARPER’S ISLAND’s newest dead weight? Who’ll become THE NEXT FOOD NETWORK STAR? NURSE JACKIE? WIPEOUT?

Oh no, I’ve got it… THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ’s crazy assedness! While I love the HOUSEWIVES franchise and thoroughly enjoyed New Jersey’s cast, that reunion show was the most boring thing ever!

You know how Dina’s Husband Tommy has never been on the show? Well I got to see him today! Randomly I turned on the tube for a couple minutes and saw Dina and Caroline! It wasn’t Housewives though, it was a 2007 rerun of MY BIG FAT FABULOUS WEDDING! The show chronicled Dina and Tommy’s $1,125,000 750 guest wedding and it was banoodles! I loved seeing little Lexie, roots for days Dina and semi-Kate Gosselin bad hair on Caroline. No sign of Teresa, Jacqueline or whorey mcwhoresalot Danielle.

I hope to be back to regular viewing shortly, in the meantime thanks for being cramazing.

TV Talk Podcast with GMMR and Ducky is back… well sorta! We know we’ve been gone for a couple months and we’re sorry to have abandoned you all so here’s a little something to tide you over until we can do a real podcast in the upcoming weeks. Thank you all for being patient with our ridonkulously busy schedules and for always being such kick ass listeners.

In case you don’t have Showtime or in case you missed this past Monday’s premiere, here is your chance to watch the Season 5 premiere of WEEDS for free at Ducky Does TV!

While I may not agree with Nancy Botwin’s parenting skills, there’s no denying this show is often hilarious and some of the acting is out of this world. I’ve watched the first 3 episodes already and while it’s a little redundant, there are some big payoffs coming your way! Courtesy of my friends at Showtime, I present to you the WEEDS Season 5 Premiere!

Watch the Season 5 Premiere of WEEDS!

Don’t forget to catch WEEDS and NURSE JACKIE every Monday night only on Showtime! What’s that? You missed NURSE JACKIE too? Well click here to check that premiere out as well!

Here is your chance to watch the entire series premiere of Showtime’s newest original show NURSE JACKIE (starring Edie Falco, Peter Facinelli and Merritt Wever) right now, online, for free! Thanks to Showtime for letting me be one of the TV Bloggers getting the chance to post this for you!

I watched the screener about a month ago and seriously fell in love with the show. It’s pretty dark humor wise; Nurse Jackie is incredibly ballsy, flawed and interesting not to mention Edie Falco is damn near perfection in the role! Plus, you’ve gotta love any show that starts off with a line like “fucking nun” and calls God a prick – hallelujah you whackadoodle!

If you don’t have Showtime, here’s your chance to sneak a peek at the newest addition to their already stellar lineup and you don’t have to pay a thing. Gotta love that!

Watch the Premiere of NURSE JACKIE Now!

NURSE JACKIE premieres Monday, June 8th at 10:30 pm after the premeire of WEEDS!
