TV on the Internet

Todd and Libby return after a long while away to talk at you about NBC, Fox, and all of their various thoughts and feelings on things. Along the way, they’ll wear cowboy hats, talk at length about Parks And Recreation, and see if they can get Libby so angry that she hits a 10 on the scale. It’s far more talk about the fall schedules than you’d ever need, but at least it’s with your ol’ pals Todd and Libby. Right? Right?

No timecodes tonight. We go through the schedules in order. NBC, then Fox. Can’t imagine there are spoilers, but yes, there are swears. 

Upfronts music, as always, is Otpisani by the Boban & Marko Markovic Orchestra. Buy it here!

Thanks to a great suggestion by @AlexMarcus, we’ve decided to start compiling our (well, mostly Todd’s…) writing on a blog of our own. Instead of clogging up the podcast blog with it, we’ve launched South Dakota Dark.

Check it out!

Todd and Libby disappeared again, but they returned with a heaping cornucopia of TV they’re thankful for. If you like them being angry about stuff, you probably won’t like this one all that much, but at least there’s a truly horrifying cold open and embarrassing personal admissions aplenty from both of them. Note: This one was recorded in a car again, so don’t get all upset about it. Do you KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO RECORD IN A CAR?

It’s nearly Thanksgiving and we’ve been driving all day so there will be no breakdown. Expect copious amounts of spoilers for already aired episodes of Suburgatory, Homeland, New Girl, Bob’s Burgers, The Middle, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, Happy Endings, Louie, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Little Women and the 2012 Presidential Election. Luckily for you, we talk about things for awhile so you can easily skip past things you may not want to hear more about. 

Words are hard.

Music this episode was the song Working Class from Boat to Row. Good times!

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all. Thanks for coming back!

Todd and Libby rejoin you after being on the run from time-traveling mutants for the last six months, but first, Libby has to ditch her new co-host, who’s not very fun to hang out with. Along the way, they’ll share their theories on how this here season of Breaking Bad will shake out, discuss The Newsroom as civilly as possible, nearly come to blows over Bunheads, and talk about how nobody cares what you think about the Olympics. Well, they can’t be civil about EVERYthing.

Direct download link.

Time code:

00:00.00-00:16.00  Back for the first time in nearly 6 months and Libby is stranded with a new host, whatever will she do? Featuring music from the legendary Caspar Babypants. This entire section is dedicated to shaking out the sillies doing rapid fire reviews and a myriad of stupid voices. Be forewarned. May also feature: hyperventilating. See also: the success of ‘shipping, Todd’s circle of condescension and Libby’s tentative peace with Chuck.

00:16.01-00:33.26 Libby grades the handful of new pilots she’s seen, while Todd helps. Includes Go On, Animal Practice, The New Normal, Ben and Kate, and The Mindy Project. Bonus: how Libby is the anti-Draper.

00:33.27-00:49.46 A fake(?) fight about scheduling segues into talk about the Olympics on NBC. That and false senses of entitlement, time zones and why the internet echo chamber doesn’t always make for the realest reality. 

00:49.47-00:55.25 Someone is wrong about Bunheads and Todd won’t admit it’s him.

00:55.26-01:07.52 You asked, we answered. Libby (and Todd’s, eventually) thoughts on The Newsroom.

01:07.53-01:14.12 A Breaking Bad feint, but a diversion into Louie and how it is (spoiler alert) fucking awesome.

01:14.13-01:43.45 A Homeland feint, but a diversion into Breaking Bad and how it is (spoiler alert) fucking awesome. Also, plenty of theories about how this will all play out, so skip if you’re averse to this kind of guessing. 

01:43.46-01:48.02 Where to find us and wrapping up. More from Caspar Babypants. Hopes and dreams for podcasts future.

Could it be that Todd and Libby have recorded another podcast and didn’t take months to do so? Will wonders ever cease? In this episode, Todd and Libby torture their cats, leave the house to see The Hunger Games, celebrate Community’s good ratings news, and answer a few of your questions. Plus, they introduce a new segment, called, “Let’s Talk In Vague Generalities About The Mad Men Premiere.” And then Libby is gunned down by Matt Weiner. There’s only one way to express our sorrow: :(

Direct download link.

Time code:

00:00.00-00:18.11 You’ve all broken Todd and it sparks Libby to say something awful. Congratulations. Also featuring music from Lisa LeBlanc. Regardless, let us speak of the huge ratings bounce for Community and the slightly disheartening bounce back of episode 2 of the return. Find out what Todd and Libby think of it’s renewal chances.

00:18.12-00:24.03 Also, Justified is a thing. We talk about how we’re feeling about this season and the outlook for the final three episodes. 

00:24.04-00:40.02 Mad Men! You will find out nothing interesting in this segment except how we feel about the two hour premiere in vague generalities (we don’t want to die), but at least it stokes the fires of excitement. Consider this segment required Mad Men premiere pre gaming. 

00:40.03-00:59.57 Also, as a special segment, we talk about The Hunger Games. Everybody loves books and films that take the world by storm (that don’t involve weak female characterization and/or vampires) and TVOTI is not immune. Hear all about our love for Jennifer Lawrence (not creepy) and post-apocalyptic fiction in general (sort of creepy). Katniss rules. 

00:59.58-01:23.35 Formspring questions time including such topics as: pseudo-thoughts on Lilyhammer, writing about good shows v. bad shows, potential for new Stargate series, professional football and moral quandaries, Harry’s Law, Todd’s potential podcast exodus, works of art, Breaking Bad meets Justified, The River, and “Things That Nerds Like” for $400, Alex.

01:23.36-01:28.06 Where to find us and wrapping up. More from Lisa LeBlanc. *This segment may include an outtake in which Libby finally gets what’s coming to her.*

The only way you could get Todd and Libby to record a new podcast together was to close them inside of a moving car together, so that’s exactly what they did, sending them on a weird odyssey through Arizona in the middle of the night and asking them to talk about the return of Community, this season of Archer, and the cancellation of Luck. Then, they’ll answer 10 of your questions and mostly piss you off. Thank God they bought that new USB cord, eh? Note: This episode has some weird, intermittent audio issues, but they will pass within a couple of seconds if you give it a little time.

Direct download link.

Time code:

00:22.02-00:33.12 Much adulation ensues as we discuss Archer season 3 and the first part of it’s finale, Space Race.

00:33.13-00:50.29 Talking about the sad cancellation of Luck.

00:50.30-01:20.36 Formspring questions time including such topics as: the films of Jacques Tati, why don’t we quit the podcast, thoughts (or lack there of) on Life’s Too Short, cats, Libby’s thoughts on Parks & Rec this season, foreign travel, Mad Men v. Breaking Bad, TVOTI’s audience hostility, Powers, and the Community comments cult.

01:20.37-01:23.21 Where to find us and wrapping up. More from Waking Lights.
