Blogulator Radio 73: Mental Gasps

Click here to witness a very sleep-deprived married couple
try to speak coherently about a bunch of new TV shows they
watched recently.

It's pilot season! And because Chris and Jerksica like to binge on both television and judging, they have watched nearly a dozen new shows that have aired on the major networks so far this fall and would like to share their opinions about them with you. There are three sitcoms they both genuinely like that they've discussed already and check back in on a few episodes into their debut seasons (including FOX's The Mindy Project at the top of their list), an unfortunate handful that neither Chris nor Jerksica have any affection for (such as NBC's confusingly lauded Revolution, the dreadful Ryan Murphy "comedy" The New Normal, and much more), and finally a number of shows they disagree on. There's some that Jerksica enjoys much to the bewilderment of Chris (*cough cough* Animal Practice) and some that Chris is a sucker for despite Jerksica's constant eye-rolling (like the ABC dramas Nashville and Last Resort). And last but not least they check in on some of their favorite returning shows that have premiered recently, especially NBC's Parks & Recreation and the surprisingly well-retooled New Girl and Up All Night. So yes, there is a lot going on here. Buckle up.

Blogulator Radio 68: No Active Hate

Chris and Jerksica don't actively hate FOX's two new sitcoms.
In fact, they kinda like 'em. Click here to hear why.

Returning from the chaos of a new school year starting, Chris and Jerksica continue to wade through the barrage of network pilot previews available for the new fall season. FOX has released the first episodes of their two new flagship sitcoms The Mindy Project (featuring The Office's Mindy Kaling) and Ben & Kate (featuring Oscar winner Nat Faxon) on various On Demand platforms (check your local cable provider or Hulu) and Chris and Jerksica...don't actively hate them. In fact, they both might even have promise. Is FOX's Tuesday night going to be the new NBC Thursday night? They also look back into the past and talk Scrubs, a show they once hated but have grown to love since it went off the air. It's their Netflix Pick o' the Week. And lastly, TV news bits of note include shows in development revolving around Michael J. Fox, director Jodie Foster, and a reboot of Eddie Murphy's adventures of Axel Foley.
