For those who didn’t see the planes with banners, the klieg lights or didn’t come to that free-beer-and-ponies party I had, then you probably don’t know I resurrected the TV Talk Machine podcast (never heard it before? – maybe better!) and have a number of plans for it (including interviewing people who I like in the industry, from series creators to actors to network and cable heads, late night hosts, etc. – just no one who is simply peddling a new project). Anyway, it will be a lot of different things.
But recently I recorded a series of podcasts that looked back (with explanations) on my Best of 2013 end-of-year lists. Why? Because television is no longer a disposable entity. There are too many high quality series for people to get to in their busy lives. Remember, some people are still discovering The Wire, for God’s sake. I just knew, since I was down in Los Angeles at the Television Critics Association winter press tour (where two of these were recorded) that a TON of new shows worth your time are coming. But it’s important not to let last year’s best of the best be forgotten.
