Talking TV Podcast Chats With 'Archer' Creator Adam Reed and Takes Reader Questions
Yesterday I posted my review of the second season of 'Archer,' a sterling FX animated comedy that returns 10PM ET Thursday. As you'll be able to tell from my review, I think the show, which chronicles the amusing and surreal goings-on at a disfunctional spy agency, is well worth checking out.My podcast partner Ryan McGee is also a fan, and on Wednesday we chatted with the show's creator, Adam Reed, about how 'Archer' has evolved, what to expect in season 2 and what he originally wanted to title the show (hint: 'Archer' is better).
You can find the Adam Reed / 'Archer' podcast in all the usual places: iTunes, Picklemonkey and the Talking TV home base.
But wait, there's more! Ryan and I did another podcast this week, in which we took reader questions and discussed some of our favorite canceled-too-soon programs. A rundown of what we discussed is below.
I thought I'd mention one more podcast before we get to those running times: I guested on the Tuning In to Sci-Fi TV podcast with Wendy Hembrock and TV Guide's Tina Charles. We talked about 'Supernatural' exclusively, so check out that Winchester chat if you're a fan.
Here's a breakdown of this week's Talking TV reader-query podcast:
0–7:50: David E. Kelley's 'Wonder Woman' remake.
7:51–12:09: 'House's' future.
12:10–15:14: 'Mad Men's' future.
15:15–18:17: Ron Swanson and 'Parks and Recreation.'
18:18–27:06: 'Fringe's' performance on its new night and whether 'Fringe' and 'Supernatural' can co-exist on Fridays.
27:06–35:48: We talk about several new pilots from Ron Moore, executive producer of 'Battlestar Galactica' (which has another prequel, 'Blood and Chrome,' in the pipeline), and whether we should be excited or not when a notable writer/producer's name is attached to a project.
35:59–45:28: the controversy over 'Skins' and the problems of some recent remakes.
45:29–end: A reader asked what our top five canceled shows of the past 10 years are. We discussed those shows, and I added the caveat that this is just a rough list and I'm sure there were 20 more shows I could have added.
As always, you can grab the podcast on iTunes, or you can listen to or grab the mp3 file from this site.
This week's podcasts are also available here and here, as are full archives of every 'Talking TV' podcast. The full 'Talking TV' archives are also now available on iTunes as well.
As always, thanks much for listening!
