Topics we discuss this week: Christina’s emotional speech on Grey’s Anatomy, Olivia and Peter’s “date” on Fringe, Michael’s reaction to the changes on The Office, Lisbon’s compromising situation(s) on The Mentalist, and why we like The Good Wife.
Plus, this new Funny or Die parody video starring Nicol Paone:
We’ll be taking a month or so off, partly due to the Olympics, so look for a new episode on March 12.
“Some people are getting kittens.” Love it.

Veronica and Linda team up to fight the power on Better Off Ted, Bones calls Booth out on his relationship with his brother on Bones, and the American Idol auditions include an awkward scene in which Ryan Seacrest gets pissed off at a guy hitting on him.
Lori and I discuss all this and more — including our thoughts on the iPad — in this week’s episode of Small Screen Stakeout.
We also review The Dirty Bomb Diaries, a low-key but effective 16-episode series chronicling the experiences of a young woman (played by Misty Van Cleve) in the aftermath of disaster: If you were trapped in a city after a radioactive Dirty Bomb detonated, what would you be willing to do? Who would you become? Witness the conflict through the eyes of a single woman struggling at Ground Zero with no supplies, sporadic phone service, a lack of police support and a city ready to tear itself apart. We discuss the making of the series and tell the story of how we survived the great Seattle earthquake of 2001.
You can watch the first two episodes below, and the rest on Clicker.com.

This week on Small Screen Stakeout, Lori and I cover the JFK conspiracy on Bones, Better Off Ted’s bagel-throwing contest, the latest American Idol auditions, Sarah Paulson’s terrific performance on last week’s Law and Order: SVU, the Samantha Bee/sexual harassment episode of the last Law and Order, Callie and Arizona’s “hot” makeout session on Grey’s Anatomy, the flashbacks on The Office, and the premiere of the new ABC legal drama The Deep End — which needs a lot more depth. Plus, Defying Gravity, Caprica, and Sofia Vergara on Ellen.
The web series we’re discussing this week is last summer’s high-profile web series Foreign Body, a 50-episode prequel leading up to the release of Robin Cook’s new medical thriller of the same name.
Here’s a compilation of the first four episodes (they’re only two minutes long each). If you’re a glutton for punishment, you can watch the rest of the episodes on the series’ official site.
To say Foreign Body is a parade of sexist and cultural stereotypes is an understatement — not to mention the plot is confusing and the acting sub-par. It’s all especially appalling when you consider that it was backed by Michael Eisner, sponsored by Honda, and cost $10,000 an episode to make. But more about that in the podcast!
Add your thoughts on this and the rest of this week’s topics in the comments.

Lori and I spend so much time discussing the TV shows we watch, we decided to launch a weekly podcast so you all can share in the fun/arguments. This week we cover Bones, Better Off Ted, American Idol, Fringe, Law and Order: SVU, Grey’s Anatomy, Modern Family, and my personal favorite, The Good Wife, as well as two two new web series/videos which I’ve embedded below so you can watch them before listening, if you want to.
This being our first audio podcast, it’s a little on the long side, and includes a lot of rambling asides — from six degrees of Sanaa Lathan, to the benefits of marathoning TV shows, to why we hated the latest Twilight movie New Moon. It clocks in at around an hour and half, so you may want to multi-task while you listen.
Hope you enjoy it, and let me know in the comments if you agree/disagree with our take on a show or episode.
