Popspotting #147: “Suburgatory” & “Modern Family” (Oct. 18, 2011)
This week’s “TV Tuesday” brings our first takes on two more new fall shows: “Suburgatory” on ABC and “A Gifted Man” on CBS. One fares well, one does not. Then we update our reviews of “Free Agents,” “Pan Am,” and “Person of Interest,” for which Jen has already cast a replacement for Jim Caviezel.
Finally, prompted by our listeners, we dive into “Modern Family” as the third season of this family mockumentary series gets underway. How’d we like spending time with Claire and Phil, Gloria and Jay, and Cameron and Mitchell? Listen and find out. (Though we will say we’re even more charmed by their kids!)
For next week, we’ll focus on two of our favorite shows: “Fringe,” in the midst of its fourth season, and “Breaking Bad” and its unforgettable fourth season finale.
Always a thrill to be quoted on your podcast!
I have a request for next tuesday. I am only on Season 2 of Breaking Bad and trying to stay spoiler free – so could you please give us a heads up before you discuss the Season 4 finale?
I hope you are enjoying Fringe as much as I am. I really love the new direction the show is taking and I am hopeful it will go at least 5 seasons. ps. you should know that Clint and Darrell at the Fringepodcast said this season is now on Itunes. I also hope y’all might call in sometime and leave some feedback over there. That would be a real treat for us cross-over from LOST fans!
Always a thrill to have your feedback! For our Tuesday show, we’ll talk a bit about other shows, then talk about “Fringe” before tackling “Breaking Bad.” You probably will want to skip that section… but be sure to come back to it after you’re all caught up!
