TV Weekly Episode 4 - Mouse Rat

Our fourth episode is now up. You can download it off iTunes or listen to it directly here:

TV Weekly Episode 4

This week we talked about 10 TV shows ( The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Gossip Girl, House, My Boys, Lost, Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, Parks and Recreation, and The Office).

We also talked about some TV news where we mention stuff about shows like Dollhouse, Friday Night Lights and Chuck.

We only have a comment or two to add this week:

PARKS AND RECREATION

*GOOD QUOTE*

Mark (On the fact that he was able to lower a speed bump by two inches): "Apparently what I can achieve in government can literally be measured."

GREY'S ANATOMY

*MAKING COUNT VON COUNT PROUD*

Zack Gilford from Friday Night Lights guest stared on the show this week. I mentioned in the podcast that several of the actors from Friday Night Lights have been guest stars. So far, these are the ones I can think of: Kyle Chandler (Eric Taylor), Aasha Davis (Waverly Grady), Kevin Rankin (Herc), Jesse Plemons (Landry Clark), and Derek Phillips (Billy Riggins). Comment if you can think of anyone else :).
Number of FNL people on Grey's Anatomy: 6.

LOST

*STATEMENT CORRECTION*

Leslie: I meant to say that the force that killed Jacob could take the form of (not possess) anyone who dies.

We'll see you guys next week!

Our third episode is now up. You can download our podcast off iTunes or listen to it directly here:


This week we talked about 13 shows (Sit Down Shut Up, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Gossip Girl, House, My Boys, Scrubs, Lost, Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, Parks and Recreation, The Office and Dollhouse).

Here are some things that we want to add to our reviews and opinions:

THE BIG BANG THEORY

*QUICK RECAP*

Minoti: In case you didn't get it - We have the plastic things for Pizza boxes in India. It bears repeating. Just saying...

*GOOD QUOTE*

Raj: "If you want to clean up your karma, go get my frickin' latte."


HOUSE

*WORD CORRECTION*

Minoti: It's anti-climactic not anti-climatic. Thanks, Leslie :)

UGLY BETTY

*BABES AND BABIES*

Minoti: Remember when we talked about how everyone is pregnant these days? Well, we just realized that Ana Ortiz who plays Hilda on Ugly Betty is pregnant too. Kind of funny since this weeks episode was about babies.

PARKS AND RECREATION

*STATEMENT CORRECTION*

Leslie: I meant to say that Leslie is always talking about the founders of Pawnee being killed (she's not referring to random people).

DOLLHOUSE

*GOOD QUOTES*

Topher: "Why is there a tall, morally judgmental man in my imprint room besides him (Boyd)?"

Topher: "I'm smarter than everyone else in this room... but less scary."

TV Weekly Episode 2 - Texty Text

Our second episode is now up! You can download our podcast off iTunes, but here's the link to our RSS feed if you want to listen to it directly: 

TV Weekly Episode 2

This week we talked about 13 TV Shows (
The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Gossip Girl, Heroes, Chuck, House, My Boys, Lost, Ugly Betty, Greys Anatomy, Private Practice, The Office and Dollhouse).

PRIVATE PRACTICE

*THE JOY OF POO*

Leslie: It has been called to my attention that some people might not know what the word defecate means so I decided to post Merriam-Webster’s definition of the word on this blog:

Defecate:
transitive verb
1. to free from impurity or corruption
2. to discharge from the anus

intransitive verb
3. to discharge feces from the bowels

Thank you.

(Okay, I figured that everyone knew what the word meant, I just feel that every blog should mention feces at least once.)

PARKS & RECREATION

*THE REASON FOR THE SWINE FLU*

Leslie: Hmm, that teaser was Leslie Knope all over. She starts out trying to get the teenagers to stop throwing poo and then ends up throwing it back at them.

(Okay, I only mentioned the scene because it had poo in it. I just feel that every blog should mention feces at least twice.)

*AND I’M FREE, FREE BALLIN’*

Leslie: Andy’s reaction to having his boom box (with twelve new batteries) stolen? Well, he does what all of us would do, he runs after the thief while he’s completely naked, of course. The reactions from his neighbors were priceless.

THE BIG BANG THEORY

*AN ODD TANGENT*

Leslie: I realized last week that I missed one Leslie in my list of Leslies on TV. Leslie Winkle from The Big Bang Theory. We at the TV Weekly podcast would like to formally apologize to Bill Prady, Chuck Lorre, and anyone else who was hurt by such an omission. Leslies on TV count: 3!

*GOOD QUOTE*

Sheldon: “Okay, I’m sleepy now get out.”

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER

*GOOD QUOTE*

Barney: “Could you repeat that? I don’t speak ‘I never get laid’”

CHUCK

*GOOD QUOTE*

“How do you spell begonia?”

UGLY BETTY

*GOOD QUOTE*

Matt: “Mom’s an Easter egg, hard on the outside but soft and gooey on the inside. My dad is like... Satan”.

Hope you guys enjoyed the episode!

TV Weekly Episode 1 - The Bulge

We hope you've tuned in to our very first episode! Yes, there were a few glitches, but hey - this was our very first podcast and we promise to get better and better each week. You can download our podcast off iTunes, but here's the link to our RSS feed if you want to listen to it directly:

TV Weekly Episode 1

This week we talked about 11 TV shows (Sit down, Shut up, Gossip Girl, Chuck, Heroes, My Boys, Greys Anatomy, The Office, Parks & Recreation, Private Practice, Dolhouse, Friday Night Lights). We also talk about some of the fun we had at the Dollhouse Paley Fest :) We should mention that Leslie did most of the talking in this episode because we talked about a bunch of shows that she watches. Next week Minoti will be talking about more shows including House, Scrubs and others. Every week we will be updating our blog with highlights we might have missed in our podcast - things we noticed and liked, but didn't really get a chance to address in our 60 minute 'cast as well as corrections to statements we made (because we all goof up sometimes) :

GREYS ANATOMY

*STATEMENT CORRECTION*

Leslie : I mentioned that George was angry at Izzy for not telling him about the cancer, however, what I meant was that George dealt with the news by being angry.

HEROES

*STATEMENT CORRECTION*

Leslie: The name of the Battlestar writer is MARK Verheiden

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

*INCOMPREHENSIBLE SENTENCE ALERT*

Leslie: There were many confusing sentences uttered by me in this podcast (clearly my mouth was moving without the influence of my brain that day) but the one uttered in the middle of the Friday Night Lights discussion was confusing to the tenth power. The coach lost his job at Dillon High School and now has to work at East Dillon High, a new high school which includes none of his star players from Dillon High School. Which means that he'll be forced to put together a team with new players, many of whom, have never played football before.

CHUCK

*GOOD QUOTE*

"Big Mike is my friend"
"Really? Do all of your friends give your mother urinary tract infections?"

GOSSIP GIRL

*SPOILER WARNING*

Minoti : I refrenced the previews for next weeks episode of Gossip Girl. If you haven't seen the previews and don't want to know what happens next week, you probably want to skip the Gossip Girl part (which is within the first 15 minutes of the 'cast).

PARKS & RECREATION

*AN ODD TANGENT*

Leslie : It's very strange hearing my name every two minutes when I'm watching a TV Show. The only other time I can think of when a character had my name was on Saved By The Bell : The College Years. Although I always thought that the fact that a Star Trek character's name rhymed with mine was pretty awesome...even if everyone hated that character!

DOLLHOUSE

*STATEMENT CORRECTION*

Leslie: I said that Joss wrote episode 8 and 9. Technically Joss did think up the premise of "Needs" but he was not the writer of either episode.

*GOOD QUOTES*

"Drink your Long Island Ice Tea"
"Wait, there's tea in this?"

"Illusions aren't worthless. They're at the heart of most relationships."

THE OFFICE

*STATEMENT CORRECTION*

Leslie: I said that David Brent from the British version of "The Office" quit but he was actually fired =/.

And in other news...

*WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?*

Leslie : This week we wondered what was up with actors and characters being pregnant. One of the stars we forgot to mention in this category was Sarah Michelle Gellar. Pregnancy Count : 6.

*LINK WE MENTIONED*

Minoti : Leslie mentioned a link to a blog that talks about the charge of misogyny in Dollhouse. Below is the link, but a fair warning - the writer of this blog is not a Buffy fan: Click Here

*SHAMELESS PLUG*

Leslie & Minoti : If you're wondering what the song at the beginning of our podcast is, it's "Psychologist" by Minoti. You can listen to it and buy it at Minoti's Stereofame Page.
