TV Pilot’s License

Guys, my dad just gave me the Vista Cruiser and some podcast mics. You know what that means…. A NEW TVPL!

Put down your cheese curds and put on your headphones, we’re on our way to Point Place Wisconsin. Where the kids are stoned, the parents are strict, and there’s always a table at the snack stand. We talk creators, Bonnie and Terry Turner (Wayne’s World, 3rd Rock) and this group of teens that would come to really make their mark on Hollywood for better or worse, Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson and Wilmer Valderrama.

If you’ll be our Michael Chiklis, we’ll be your Tennessee lambs or something like that. It’s the Shield!

Who would have thought the LAPD had so much corruption? Sounds wild and fictional! Well good news for all of us that the brave folks at FX decided to give this super unrealistic depiction of the LAPD a shot!

With a tremendous cast of Michael Chiklis, Walton Goggins, Jay Karnes, Benito Martinez, and CCH Pounder we get a first hand look at the violence, corruption, greed and complexity behind LA’s most notorious crime solvers.

New York City! Home of industry, finance, and inexplicably famous and drunk teenagers? If you can make it at St Jude’s, you can make it anywhere.

If you haven’t guessed by now, it’s Gossip Girl week at TVPL. We hit you with all the famous New York Dynasty families, the Waldorfs… the Van der Woodsens, the Basses (of Bass Pro Shop fame). What happens if you take these walking future pill addicts, make em fall in love, give them almost zero consequences for their actions, and feed them constant anonymous gossip about each other? I bet they’re pretty normal about it!

Come join us in homeroom with Leighton Meester, Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Taylor Momsen, Chace Crawford, and Ed Westwick!

Xoxo, a Podcast

Iconic laughter, Queens,  Fashion, and Fran Drescher?!?! What More could you ask for. Buckle up TV Pilot’s License fans because this week the Pilots next stop is New York City and The Nanny! This week the boys discuss: Their Favorite Theme Songs, Fran as The Nanny, Niles the butler, Charles Shaughnessy, and who would star in a Nanny Reboot. 

So make sure your seatbacks are up, your podcasting devices are plugged in, and remember to enjoy the show.

It’s time for a show that begs the question are we not ALL simply women of a certain age? We’re flying into Palm Springs airport today to visit our Gay Golden Girls, and triumphant return of the multicam with Mid Century Modern!

It’s got all the staples of a true classic Multicam sitcom: A theme song, firm scene breaks, a big dumb dumb and EXPOSITION BABYYYY! Not to mention an absolute rockstar production, writing, and acting team with the return of our champion Jimmy Burrows (Cheers, Mary Tyler Moore, Friends, Will & Grace, Taxi, Frasier and more) but also Max Mutchnik and David Kohan the creators of Will & Grace. The squad behind this is so talented we put Matt Bomer, Nathan Lee Graham and freaking NATHAN LANE after? Beautiful.

After a challenge from guest host J. W. Crump to deep dive this show and make sure our straight boy brains didn’t explode, how do you think we did?

To watch Mid Century Modern along with us, it is available on Hulu.

I need 20 pierogis and 50 ccs of Iron City beer to the ER STAT!

Welcome to the Pitt! A phrase probably no one wants to hear outside of this context. Join us as we strap to the gurney and wheel into arguably one of the most chaotic shows of all time. From the mind of ER and JAG alum R. Scott Gemmill, The Pitt takes us to a mid city hospital run by ER star Noah Wale, Tracy Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa and so many more terrific actors.

What drives the fervor of the Pitt fandom seems to be the realistic stakes and nature of the ER, combined with the linear time of the entire season taking place on one shift. So who better to talk to than Friend of the Pod Dr. Raul Flores as our official Chief Medical Examiner. Pull up a chair, we have a very busy day in Pittsburgh.

Hang on to your harness, nerds! We’re hitting the outer rings of the galaxy with Firefly! The number one answer for sci fi fans “which show should have never been cancelled?” Well here’s something you might not have known, our nerdlings, the pilot we watched was unaired and for good reason!

So enjoy us breaking down a painful 90 minute pilot with the kinks not even remotely worked out! We discuss your favorites, Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Ron Glass, the 2002 Anaheim Angels, Owl City, Jack Bauer, JarJar Binks and SPACE HORSES!
