Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV

Tim Gunn gets another chance at shoring up his fan base with Project Runway: Junior, the shrunk-down version of the fashion competition, and Stephanie Cangro returns to talk about it! Around The Dial stops at Peep Show, London Spy, The Man In The High Castle, How To Get Away With Murder, MasterChef Junior, Into The Badlands, and W/ Bob & David. Stephanie makes her case for the induction to The Canon of the West Wing episode "The Indians In The Lobby." Then after a quick consideration of the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a sequel to one of our most math-intensive Game Times ever. Put away your pinking shears and listen!

Our esteemed colleague Monty Ashley covers most of the comic-book shows on Previously.TV, and he's back to talk about superhero TV from Arrow to, er, Zagents of SHIELD. We wrapped Project Project Greenlight, recommended Maura Murray materials in The Blotter Presents, and went around the dial with ballet, buried treasure, Survivor's eternal allure, Aussie TV recs, and Cheese of Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. Monty made his pitch to put an It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia episode in the Nonac; Jones won and Trump lost; and the rule of threes ruled Game Time in another Rob Hartmann creation. Who saved the day and who got stuck in the phone booth? Listen to an all-new Extra Hot Great and find out!

With Ash Vs. Evil Dead premiering on Starz and iZombie well into a strong second season on The CW, we felt it was time to bring back horror/comedy/horror-comedy fan (and iZombie correspondent) Eve Batey for a discussion of both. Liv delivers her final Face Off report on Season 9, and all of us share our thoughts on the season finale of Project Greenlight...until next week when we talk about The Leisure Class, the movie it spawned. Around The Dial stops at Nashville, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Scream Queens, Project Runway, and CBS's just-announced new Star Trek series. Patrick presents the 30 Rock episode "Cleveland" for induction into The Canon, and then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that takes us on a whirlwind trip around the world!

Does CBS's new Supergirl soar or splat? Jeff Alexander, who'll be covering the show for Previously.TV all season, returns to the podcast to join us in a discussion about the pilot. Liv gives us her thoughts on the season's penultimate Face Off before the rest of us chew over the season's penultimate Project Greenlight. (TOO SOON!) The Blotter Presents takes us through the high points of The Lindbergh Kidnapping Case before Around The Dial stops at Arranged and Married At First Sight: The First Year; The Librarians; You're The Worst; and Residue. Jeff makes an intoxicating case for the induction of Drunk History's "Montgomery, AL" into The Canon, and then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that risks going tit...ulars up.

That's right, listeners: Joe "Awardsy" Reid is back in the permanent Extra Hot Great rotation, as the gang (of four!) checks into American Horror Story: Hotel. When will the show lose most of us this season? What's with that kid looking like Noah Syndergaard? And are we gaga for Gaga? Then we ordered up some room service with the Face Off report, bitched about Jason Mann in our Project Project Greenlight segment, and went around the dial with Jane The Virgin, The Walking Dead, Casual, and Sleepy Hollow. Joe made a list! Abby Lee Miller got indicted! David took us on an Adventure Time with his Canon submission! But just how happy is Joe's reunion with Game Time? He says he's just honored to be nominated; we're very glad he's back, on an all-new Extra Hot Great.

As The Good Wife returns for its seventh season, we welcome Adam Grosswirth to talk about how well the season premiere washes away the bad taste left by Season 6. Liv gives us her report on a freak show-focused episode of Face Off, and The Blotter Presents tells you about Showtime's Warren Jeffs documentary Prophet's Prey (and some other highlights from the annals of Mormon true crime). Around The Dial stops at The Daily Show, Once Upon A Time, the just-announced TV series adaptation of the podcast Serial, and Manhattan, and then Adam makes the case for Star Trek's "Mirror Mirror" to be inducted into The Canon. We very briefly discuss the week's Winner and Loser before barreling ahead to a Game Time that will decide the season's victor! Make sure your wig's on straight and then listen!

Fall premiere season is upon us, and since we know you rely on us to advise you as to what to watch and what you can skip (you do, right?), we've invited Jeff Drake to join us for a discussion of the season: what we're into; what we probably should be into but aren't, or have given up on; and what no one should be into. We move from there into Liv's report on the latest apocalyptic Face Off, and then into Sarah's look at the specials marking the 20th anniversary of the O.J. Simpson murder trial verdict in The Blotter Presents. We take a moment to speculate in a special Will Dave Hate These? segment covering both Troy: Fall Of A City and a just-announced reboot of The A Team. Then Jeff makes his case for "The Germans" episode of Fawlty Towers to be inducted into The Canon, from which point we name the week's Winner and Loser, and then wind up with a thrilling installment of Game Time. Put on your gloves and earmuffs and then take off your earmuffs and listen! GUESTS 👤 Jeff Drake TOPICS Lead Topic: 🍁 Fall Tv Hopes And Dreams Around The Dial: 🧌 Face Off The Blotter Presents: 🚨 O.J.

Now that we've put our champagne flutes in the dishwasher and peeled off our Spanx, we're ready to look back on the 2015 Emmy awards telecast, from how much funnier Andy Samberg was than the stiffs in the room to the feelings we experienced watching Jon Hamm literally climb on stage to accept his statuette -- and thank God Joe Reid was able to return to the podcast and join us. After Liv gives us her report on the latest Face Off, Sarah debuts a new segment, The Blotter Presents, covering all manner of true crime TV, starting with the 1986 Ted Bundy miniseries The Deliberate Stranger. Around The Dial makes stops at Best Time Ever, So You Think You Can Dance, Project Runway, and Fargo. Mark makes a brief cameo to update us on a past Tiny Triumph and -- spoiler alert! -- it's quite a bit less Tiny than it used to be. Joe makes the case for the induction of the Best Friends Forever episode "Butt Dial" into the Canon, and then after a more overstuffed Winners and Losers segment than usual, it's on to a Game Time that has us pondering wheels within wheels. Grab some sliders and crab puffs and listen in!

The Good Wife Marathon Diarist Kim is back to discuss the un-Moored return of Project Greenlight, and whether a fourth season a decade in the making is off to a first-rate start. Tara shared a You're The Worst Tiny Triumph that is kind of the best before Liv weighed in on two weeks of Face Off and we all bid Under The Dome its overdue (but still dumb) farewell. We went around the dial with Playing House, Colbert's first week, a true-crime show that's actually decent, a pilot that isn't, another Star Wars ad, and the lameness of Good Wife S06 before Tara oppo-researched the hell out of Buntsy's sitcom preferences as she tried to get a Veep episode into the Canon. Ugly cars won, Johnny Depp lost, and Game Time fell into a K-hole. Don't put this episode of Extra Hot Great in turnaround: listen now!
