Vodcast! Danielle and Marisa Grade 5 Dramas

It’s time for another vodcast!

During the last installment, my friend Danielle Turchiano (from Made Possible By Pop Culture) and I talked about which shows surprised us this year, but since we only got to talk in depth about a few, we wanted to discuss a few more shows we both watch.

Below, we grade SUPERNATURAL, FRINGE, CASTLE, HART OF DIXIE and DEXTER (though our DEXTER grade was given before we viewed the season finale). To clarify how we graded each show, we only are grading the most current season of the show (up to the last episode it aired in 2011), and the grade is a reflection of how it held up in comparison to its own previous seasons, not to television in general. As for HART OF DIXIE, it’s just what we think of the first season so far.

Take a look at how we graded these drama series!

About Last Night…DEXTER, HOMELAND and LEVERAGE

So if you haven’t watched, don’t ruin the episodes for yourself. Go watch then and then come back and tell me what you thought of what went down.

For those of you who did watch, let’s talk…

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE: Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers Have a Weekend Update ‘Joke Off’

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE’s Weekend Update is usually the highlight of the show for me, but on the last episode of 2011, they put the icing on top of the already delicious cake.

With former SNL-er Jimmy Fallon as the guest host, I was hoping he would join the current Weekend Update host Seth Meyer at the desk. Instead, we got something even better: an old-fashioned “joke off” where Fallon brought in former co-host, Tina Fey, and Meyer recruited his former co-host, Amy Poehler.

Take a look!
