Phew.
Thanks for bearing with us through the upfronts experiment.
At least that’s done for another year.
Look for a ‘real’ podcast this weekend, covering a myriad of topics including Game of Thrones, Modern Family, Cougar Town and others, as well as surprise Top 5 and more listener questions.
Hope you all enjoy it!

Upfronts week concludes with Todd and Libby taking on a network they don’t much care about, The CW. Nonetheless, this one turns into their weirdest, most wide-ranging discussion yet. Topics include: Libby’s attempts to get on the new reality show H8R, Todd’s bafflement at the idea of new reality series The Frame, and Todd’s attempts to explain why he doesn’t...

Todd and Libby are so tired. So very, very tired. Yet here they are, continuing on with CBS’ weirdly promising fall lineup, talking of how the network might be the boldest scheduler on television and a show seemingly inspired by random news items about Marilu Henner. Also, Libby finds her multi-camera sitcom love for the year, Todd likes Jonathan Demme too much, and they both wish...

It’s day two of Todd and Libby’s special upfronts coverage. They’re in a better mood, mostly because the ABC trailers were shorter than the ones for Fox and NBC and, thus, they didn’t have to watch as much. But that doesn’t mean they won’t make several controversial and idiotic assertions, based entirely on footage seen without context and cut together to...

Welcome to Upfronts Week at TVOTI, where Todd and Libby embark on a possibly suicidal mission to cover all of the new network schedules. Today, they tackle Fox and NBC, with Libby’s alters taking possession of her body, Todd singing a song he made up about dinosaurs, and the kickass tubas of Boban Markovic Orkestar. Oh, and a bunch of shows that will probably (Ed. note: almost...

TV on the Internet, episode 62: Sexy Butt
Apologies for the length, but it’s a BIG WEEK. Todd and Libby take you through upfronts and what to expect in the fall (Libby only begrudgingly), then discuss the second and third seasons of Community and Parks And Recreation respectively, complete with theorizing on how Community is like Deadwood and Parks And Recreation is like The Wire (and a special surprise comedy is like The...

When watching the hugely entertaining season finale of Community this week, something occurred to me. If Parks and Recreation, in its ever-expanding world and portrayal of small-town city politics and governing systems, can be equated as the comedy equivalent of The Wire (and given creator Michael Schur’s clear interest in that show, and how they are...

This week, Todd and Libby accidentally let you in on what they’re doing in their spare time, then take you through a host of big episodes and finales, including the second season finale of Justified, the fifth season finale of 30 Rock, the third season finale of Fringe, and the last Michael Scott episode of The Office (as well as the first episode without Michael). They also find time...
