This week we talk about the alchemy necessary for a good television pilot during our analysis of Mockingbird Lane, a show that did not get picked up to series. We think we understand why. Plus we talk about returning champion, Happy Endings, and an unexpected Halloween special from The Venture Brothers. Plus so many more shows! These timestamps are very approximate: Mockingbird Lane (1:39) Happy Endings (12:24) New Girl (16:25) Parks and Rec (20:10) The Derek Report (27:35) Revenge (34:20) Venture Brothers (42:39) Hunted (47:03) Dexter (50:43) Homeland (55:10) Spoilers abound - be warned, gentle listener! We have a NEW phone number: 617-858-0733. We also have a NEW email address, because something dumb happened! You can now email us: [email protected]. Sorry for the problems if you've tried to email in the past.
