The TV Talk Podcast: Vampire Diaries, Glee,The Office & SO Much More

It’s been 7 weeks since our last podcast and 7 weeks since we last saw each other. You totally thought GMMR and Ducky had called it quits didn’t you? How dare you…
An extended gig in the Hamptons originally sidelined the podcast, then a horrible back injury kept this terrible TV twosome apart until [...]

About Last Night…GREY’S ANATOMY, PRIVATE PRACTICE, FLASH FORWARD and more…

I almost made it.  I almost watched all the shows I recorded on Thursday night.  Sadly I came up a little short and didn’t get to FLASH FORWARD or SUPERNATURAL (the latter because of a MAJOR technology FAIL - luckily Nicole has SPN covered and her review will be posted shortly.)

Survivor Gabon is on Life Support.
