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 to 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 11 through Friday, March 15. Round two will kick off on Monday, March 18, with the final face-off starting on Monday, March 25.
Last up? “Bombshell.” 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

As THE IRRATIONAL wraps up its first season on Monday, February 19, the NBC drama has had an unconventional freshman year.
The Jesse L. Martin-led series was one of the few to air original episodes in Fall 2023, having banked seven episodes before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes shut down production for months. The show aired its series premiere the day after the WGA strike ended—but they still had to wait for the actors’ strike to end in order to finish production. Then, a little over a week after the SAG-AFTRA strike concluded, it was announced that NBC had actually added an additional installment to season 1, bringing the episode count to 11. (The good news? The show also got an early season 2 renewal.)
But adding an extra episode to a show with a planned mythology/arc came with its own complications.

Though THE IRRATIONAL’s Alec (Jesse L. Martin) has become an expert on human behavior—which he utilizes to help law enforcement solve crimes—there’s one case that’s still hanging over him: The bombing that injured him and kickstarted his foray into his current career. And while one suspect was caught, it appears there are more people involved…something Alec’s ex, Marisa (Maahra Hill), is now actively investigating.
