TV News (00:01:18)
We briefly talked about the following three news stories:
- Kate Walsh Confirms She's Leaving Private Practice After Next Season
- TLC renews What Not to Wear for 10th year — EXCLUSIVE
- Showtime confirms Weeds will end after Season 8
Listener Q&A (00:03:36)
We answered the following 12 questions submitted by listeners Johnathon, Julia, Kyle and Todd.
- What did Amrie and Rae think of the Revenge season finale?
- Why do you think that TV networks hold out on releasing TV shows on DVD until RIGHT before they premiere? Do you think that REALLY helps promote the show? Or does it actually “hurt” the series because people don’t have enough time to catch up before the new season starts? Do you think more networks should release their DVDs earlier or does the current format work?
- We all have our guilty pleasures, but what TV show did you start watching and have grown to regret, and why?
- Was there a show from the last season that you wished had continued on? Why?
- What do you expect to be the first show canceled this fall?
- How does the onscreen chemistry between actors affect your viewing experience of a TV show? Does it? Has it ever made you want to tune in or tune out of a TV show?
- Besides, obviously, Hang Time, what other shows do you wish we’re available on DVD?
- Does Jason watch any reality shows?
- What TV shows are you most looking forward to at San Diego Comic-Con?
- Any cool web series you watch/recommend?
- Now that you’ve seen some of the fall/midseason shows, any you’re looking forward to? Any that you’ve completely changed opinion on after seeing pilot?
- How do you get screeners and set visits for shows that you cover?

Color me a shitty commentor. Here’s my problem. I almost always listen to the podcast in my car. And I mean to leave you a message but now it’s Monday and I am at work and can’t!
Loved the Q&A though! TV on DVD I want – 2 Guys and a Girl is on my list along with Love Monkey (I assume never because of the music) and Ed (Is Tom Cavenaugh a jinx or what?) So yeah. Those.
As for when TV on DVD is released, I HATE when they release something the with less than a week before the premiere. It’s not so bad with USA shows or well, Awkward (that I watched all on a Monday night and I CAN’T WAIT!!!) but anything with 22 episodes that you want to actually watch or rewatch? Most people just give up. I have decided on those that I missed, it I think I really want to watch them, I grab them on sale and wait for them to end. I am almost done with Saving Grace now. It has actually been a fairly productive TV watching summer.
Thanks for the Daly Show rec. Watched some of that this weekend. Wow Tim Daly looks amazing.
Question of the week: How much of the Olympics will you watch? Favorite sport? Will you DVR it and FF though gobs of it or watch live when you can?
