News (00:00:45)

We talked about the following TV news story:

Are you enjoying Syfy's 12 Monkeys as much as Jason and Ivey are? Would you be disappointed if ABC's The Catch gets cancelled? Do you agree with Amrie that HBO's Silicon Valley is the best comedy out there right now? Do you think ABC's Quantico is as dumb as we do? What did you think of the series finale of CBS' The Good Wife? Did you enjoy this week's episode?
