TV Times Three Roundup!

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done a TV Times Three Roundup – time to check in on what we’ve been talking about! Episode 35 – We tackled the highs and lows of the 2008-09 TV season.  We were actually able to remember a lot about this past TV season. But, first we chatted about a few news items including briefly mentioning the rash of celebrity deaths recently, the TVaholic’s birthday, Flashpoint returning, JoAnna Garcia joining Gossip Girl for

TV Times Three Podcast roundup!

I haven’t posted about the podcast in a few weeks, so I wanted to get the links for the past three episodes into a post for y’all! Episode 032 – We programmed our perfect week of TV.  That’s 22 hours to fill with any TV show, past or present. We started with a four-hour block on Sundays and moved through the rest of the week with a three-hour block for each night. Even after thinking about it for a week,

TVx3 E031: Knowing What’s Going to Happen

It’s been a few weeks since I posted the Podcast – hope you’re still enjoying it!! This week, we talked about the topic sent in by listener Vanessa on March 24th, 2009. She wrote in to say: I’ve loved the podcast since it began and thought it was time to toss in an idea for a show topic. It seems that my love of TV has started to diminish my enjoyment of some procedurals lately. I am already familiar with

TVx3 E028: To Accentuate or Not To Accentuate

Speaking of accents… Thanks to Chris Vaughn that’s what we’re doing! We talk about some of the shows right now that have characters played by people who aren’t from the United States and have to disguise their accents as a result. Should more of them be permitted to use their natural accents? Why aren’t they? We’ve got some ideas and I rate who I think covers his/her accent best and who doesn’t. We also pick out TV news from the past

TVx3 E027: A Seeming Lack of Good Times as of Late

This week, the TV triumvirate was back together again. We talked about what seems to be a lack of good ethnic shows on TV recently. Listener Brian Hunt wondered why there seemed to be more African American sitcoms during the ’70s into the early ’90s, like The Cosby Show and Good Times. He posited that “racism was still very prevalent” back then, but now “America is much more excepting” and wanted to know why there is “such a lack of

TVx3 E026: It’s Not You, It’s the Show. Or, Is it?

This week, Rae was off camping, so we had on a guest host to talk about the week in TV. Myles McNutt from Cultural Learnings and the new McNuttCast joined us for what turned out to be a rather lengthy, but really fun, discussion. We started things off with some news about Kings, The Tudors, Army Wives, Project Runway, the SAG negotiations, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and The New Adventures of Old Christine. Then we moved on to

TVx3 E025: PaleyFest09 or Bust!

Viva LA! We got back from our trip out West, eager to talk about what we did. Like some highlights from the various PaleyFest09 panels we attended including Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Dollhouse, The Big Bang Theory, The Mentalist, and Pushing Daisies. And a summary of our time on the set of Greek. Plus celebrity sightings, drinks with celebrities, meeting with friends, and much more. Rae’ll be gone again for our next episode but we’ve got a special guest host, Myles

TVx3 E023: Ratings Rant

We started things off with some news about Pushing Daisies, Friday Night Lights, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and the Boston NBC affiliate deciding not to air Leno’s 10:00 p.m. show this fall. Then we moved on to the topic of TV ratings, where we ultimately ended up rambling and ranting about our dislike of the process. Mainly, cause many of our favorite shows are in trouble ratings-wise. After ranting about ratings, we moved on to our primetime wrap-up,

TVx3 E022: What’s the Name of That Actor I’d Like to See Back on TV?

Do you have a favorite actor you’d like to see back on your TV? Well, that’s what listener Sam wanted to know. So, we set out to discuss those actors we haven’t seen much of recently, but would like too. We started things off with some news about Bones, Chopping Block, In the Motherhood, Monk and Hulu. Then after discussing this week’s topic, we moved on to our primetime wrap-up, where we talked about the Battlestar Galactica series finale, the

TVx3 E021: Crying Over Spilt Previews

Ever been annoyed by a preview or promo that spoils something on your favorite show? You’re not alone. This week we’re talking about examples of this and why we think Networks should be a little smarter in how they market their shows. We also chat about the most recent episodes of The Amazing Race, The Mentalist, Better Off Ted, Life, Lost, and Party Down. Plus we make fun of those we love, while I prove it’s not just Tigger I
