I am loving this. It has a kind of How Did This Get Made feel to it but instead of films, geared towards television. Ugh, more awesome things to consume. Damn you!!!

As a child of television, I really want to like this, and it's probably just old-fart me, but I'm finding the mass of indecipherable "peppy" copy and bit.ly links to be pretty off-putting. How about, I dunno, a title to each entry that actually says what show is being discussed? I mean, unless I glance at the tag lists, I have no bloody idea what they're talking about (and, often, not even the tags help).

Ooh. I am already subscribed to The Flop House, How Did This Get Made, Read it and Weep, and Proudly Resents. But I see they have multiple episodes for my guilty pleasure, Lifetime's "The Witches of East End", this could be fun.

Aw, I loved Ghost Whisperer, even though I'm not a huge Jennifer Love Hewitt fan. I acknowledge that it was kind of terrible, but I also liked it despite all its flaws, including the rah-rah sisterhood crap. I also just finished The Witches of East End... If you like women-centric supernatural dramas, unfortunately you get a lot of girly cruft and bad acting along with that. Someone really needs to take that genre, assemble a cast of awesome actors, and do it right. Being Human did that to some degree, but it's over now...

I'm starting to think I'm the only person that liked The Newsroom.

No podcast for 'Fly', the single worst episode of Breaking Bad?

My SO also likes the Newsroom but I fear she loves West Wing so much that if Sorkin shat in his hand* and called it toothpaste she would line up to brush her teeth.

(*quite difficult while walking and talking at the same time)

I eagerly await the "Lance, the teenage murderer of Friday Night Lights season 2" episode of the podcast.

If you have any free remaining earbud-time, can I recommend We Hate Movies? The Flop House, HDTGM and WHM are my personal bad movie podcast triumvirate.
