Couch Madness: ‘Countdown’

In honor of the NCAA tournament season, Give Me My Remote is bringing back our TV-centric bracket, pitting similarly titled episodes against each other: Couch Madness! (Credit for the excellent name goes fellow reporter Chris Hayner.)

The seeding is simple: rather than quality of the hour, we’re going by air date (with the oldest episode getting the #1 slot and the newest getting #8). With Peak TV, this will not include every single show that has used this title; rather, we picked a selection from what was available.

The first round will run from Monday, March 13 through Friday, March 17. Round two will kick off on Monday, March 20, with the final face-off starting Monday, March 27.

Next up? “Countdown.” Keep reading for the bracket, episode descriptions (from IMDB), and the poll. (For the other episodes competing, check out all the brackets here!) Read more

HAVEN Season 4 Premiere: Matt McGuinness and Gabrielle Stanton Tease ‘Fallout’

HAVEN is back!

“We come back to HAVEN and it will be six months later,” HAVEN co-showrunner Matt McGuinness told me. “And Haven is quite a bit different. And not everyone has come back to Haven, necessarily…And we’ll get to see characters sort of find each other after the crazy events of 3×13″

“We’ll get to see some of our characters in very different situations,” HAVEN co-showrunner Gabrielle Stanton added.

Adding to the complexities of the situation? Even the amount of time that has passed between the show’s third season finale and tonight’s fourth season premiere isn’t completely straight-forward.
