Send us some fan mail!
Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the TV Doctor podcast. Its continuing mission: to explore strange (yet familiar) new topics, to seek out new understandings about television texts and new connections for listeners, and to boldly go where thousands of podcasts have surely gone before, but in a totally new way. Ready to talk Trek? Well then...ENGAGE! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tv-doctor/message

Cheers to the Badass! Let us salute the characters who are serving us toughness, intellect, respectability, success, bravery, empathy, and vulnerability. May we know them. May we be them. May we watch more of them on television. May we learn more about them in this week's episode.

March 23, 2020 Tonic Immobility: My Social Distancing Watchlist (Episode 21)
Send us some fan mail!
This is not your average "what to watch while you self-isolate" list. Take a sneak peek inside The TV Doctor's A List (shows you REALLY SHOULD WATCH but just haven't done so yet) and B List (shows you REALLY SHOULD WATCH but probably never will, if we're being totally honest). Do you agree or disagree? Did The TV Doctor forget a show that belongs on this list? Stay tuned and find out!

March 15, 2020 Emergency Room: Love is Blind (Episode 20)
Send us some fan mail!
If, like pretty much anyone who has Netflix, you've already heard of (or totally devoured) the "social experiment" known as Love is Blind, then why not hang out with The TV Doctor and friends for a spell as we chew it up and spit it out in all the ways you hadn't yet considered?

March 06, 2020 Sprained Rotator Cuff: The Docuseries (Episode 19)
Send us some fan mail!
Gimme a "DOCU"...gimme a "SERIES"...what's that spell? It spells: we're talking about the docuseries on this week's episode! From the awe-inspiring beauty of Planet Earth to the surprising depth and empathy of CHEER, we explore the sub-genre that reality-based programming wants to be when it grows up.

February 15, 2020 Emergency Room: The Circle (Episode 18)
Send us some fan mail!
Don't worry that you're in the Emergency Room...you're under the capable care of The TV Doctor! It appears you have an acute case of SMOTS: Social Media on Television Syndrome. Your symptoms include blurry eyes (Where IS the line between reality and fiction online, anyway?) and text neck (which is a real thing...look it up), but our conversation about Netflix's The Circle should clear it all up in no time at all!

February 07, 2020 Vinegar Syndrome: The Art of (and IN) Television (Episode 17)
Send us some fan mail!
It's a question that has existed as long as the medium itself: can television be considered art? (Here's a hint: YES.) Now, here's a much younger question: how do we feel about art ON television? How does it impact the meanings we make and the positions we take as a result of being exposed to it? The gallery is open...

January 31, 2020 Synesthesia: Doing It Yourself (Episode 16)
Send us some fan mail!
No need to grab a hammer, you won't need your hot glue gun, and put down that tape measure. The only thing you'll need for this episode about DIY-TV is a time and place to listen! Let's get all "home and garden" with it, shall we?

January 24, 2020 Capgras Delusion: The Curious Case of Celebreality (Episode 15)
Send us some fan mail!
Celebrities: they're just like us (if by "like us," you mean they too freak out when their opportunities to embarrass and/or exonerate themselves on national television start to dry up)! In this episode, the TV Doctor ponders the nature of what the folks over at VH1 call "Celebreality" -- are they wearing masks on the show, or is it their real life face that hides the truth? Also, the word "portmanteau" is used...twice!

December 27, 2019 The Countdown! (Episode 14)
Send us some fan mail!
Who doesn't love a good countdown? It's the end of the year AND the end of the decade, and everyone wants to tell you about their Top 10 shows (Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Mad Men...blah blah blah). The TV Doctor, however, wants to tell you about the OTHER Top 10 shows, the ones that everyone else snubbed, ignored, missed, or forgot. Can you guess which show will be The TV Doctor's Number ONE?
