Derek returns to join me and Deeps to talk about Podcamp Boston 2, meeting cool people and riding their coattails - plus we remind Derek about stomach viruses.
Then we offer up some tiny information about how the Writers' Strike might affect the TV season; I review the latest entry in the
Dexter series by Jeff Lindsay; and we talk about some of our favorite (or not so favorite) shows like How I Met Your Mother, The Office, Chuck, Scrubs, Heroes and of course, Dexter. And I throw out a suggestion for a great Halloween rental - John Frankenheimer's classic film
Seconds.
Then I threaten to fire everyone from the show!

Samantha Who?, what Pushing Daisies can learn from Ugly Betty, the final one hour episode of The Office, and our weekly showdown between Chuck and Reaper.
Plus we're getting ready for
Podcamp Boston 2. Can you feel the excitement?

This year's
Podcamp Boston will be more awesome than last year's - if for no other reason than because Derek and I will be attending.
So if you're going to be there, keep an eye out for a tall fellow and his short, redhaired companion. Also - we'll be wearing t-shirts that say Big Red Podcast on them. Derek loves conventions. I love name badges. See how this works out?
Deeps, aka my husband, life and podcast partner, refuses to attend for reasons that are unknown. Well, they're known to me - sometimes he's a crank. Plus I think he wants to master Wii Golf. He'll be missed.
We're also going to be giving away delightful and probably delicious swag. And in helping to push the agenda of pop culture as actual culture we'll be giving away some books. I have a small collection of novels I read as part of the 50 book challenge. These are some of my favorite novels, and you could get your own new, unread copy. Enjoy!
In addition, I will be at
Blogtoberfest 2007 next week at the beautiful Pour House in Boston. You should say hello and then tell me how much you love the
Big Red Podcast. I might be persuaded to buy you a drink!

Look - we didn't mean to be angry. But some TV disappointed us a little bit this week. Some shows are on probation, some shows have been dumped altogether.
But it wasn't all doom and gloom. We still liked Ugly Betty, Supernatural, Pushing Daisies and Chuck. Plus we belatedly take a look at
Women's Murder Club and reconsider Carpoolers.

Every year television executives throw up some horrific shows for us to watch and every year we have to endure some truly awful stuff. Because we’re smart, awesome and feeling a bit magnanimous we’ve offered up some suggestions for how to fix some shows.
This week we’ve decided to figure out how to fix
Moonlight, a show
we savaged in episode 50. It’s a bonus episode! Sure, it probably should not be saved, but like I said we’re magnanimous.
And that’s the word of the day! Live it, love it, use it.

Last week we had a little cliffhanger on
episode 50 of the Big Red Podcast. This week we resolve it and quickly move on to new stuff like
Pushing Daisies and the sustainability of whimsy; most improved second episode; hair and underwear; and of course what shows are on probation.
Plus we talk about a bunch of other shows and try to keep closer to 30 minutes. We did it in 39 - which is good considering how much we talk about. Oh and I make an argument for wacky. And did I mention
there's a poll? Go answer it!
