Indiewire's Very Good TV Podcast

It's the return of the Ask Us Anything (about television)! Ben and Liz go through your questions, which take us down some odd journeys — like, what kind of show we'd like to see George Clooney take on, and when "The Leftovers" is coming back.

Just in time for the 10th anniversary, we pay tribute to one of our all-time favorite sitcoms — one that taught us the sublime beauty of the phrase "Hey, dummy."

Much as we'd like the election to be over, we have a few more weeks of madness left — but thanks to TV and TV people on Twitter, we may be able to get through it.

HBO's new sci-fi/western drama is fascinating, but can it succeed "Game of Thrones" in terms of awards or cultural impact? Liz and Ben have some thoughts.

Liz and Ben just got through a big week of broadcast TV premieres! (There were a LOT.) What shows pleased them most? And which are they not necessarily planning to keep up with.

We got through the Emmys! What were IndieWire's favorite moments of the ceremony, and what parts didn't quite work?

"Star Trek" just turned 50! Which is incredible. But could a franchise like this ever happen again, in today's industry? Indiewire's Liz and Ben debate.

Some of our favorite series are back this fall, but which ones might not be back for another season, due to ratings and other concerns? Liz and Ben break it down.

We've been big fans of FX programming for years, but why doesn't the network have the same brand power that, say, HBO does? The answer may have less to do with what we're watching, and more to do with how we're watching it.

Consuming media isn't necessarily something you should do casually, which is why this week, Liz and Ben have some thoughts about how to balance the TV you watch for optimum (mental) health.
