We conclude our TV Fantasy Draft with the unveiling of our series pitches. Vampire and ghost detectives! Star Trek meets the West Wing! A sitcom starring a robot and an omnipotent being! A gritty techno-drama. A psychedelic drama set on a Zeppelin! And John Siracusa's pitch seems awfully familiar somehow.
Special guests Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman, John Siracusa, Scott McNulty, Serenity Caldwell, and Steve Lutz.

Who are the best TV characters of all time? Six people set out to draft teams of 10 characters each, from which they would form some of the strangest TV ensembles ever seen. Will Captain Kirk, Columbo, and The Fonz end up on the same show? Perhaps the craziest episode we've ever done highlights dozens of our favorite characters from TV history.

This past summer's superhero movies are in the spotlight! Are the gods just aliens? When are mutant strippers unrealistic? Why would you beat up people after costing them their jobs?

Press the Green Anchor and jump into a parallel timestream: it's time to talk "Doctor Who." In this flash episode we deconstruct the two most recent episodes, "Night Terrors" and "The Girl Who Waited." And here's a hint: we liked one of them way more than the other.

This podcast is cancelled! We discuss TV shows that failed to reach their proper natural lifespan. When all is said and done, you'll hear recommendations for 25 excellent series that burned bright and weren't allowed to fade away. Fantasy football drafts were never this good.

Strap on your jet pack and locate your pet monkey! Our Comic Book Club reconvenes to discuss works by writer Brian K. Vaughan, who excels at the high-concept premise. In the spotlight: "Runaways," "Y: The Last Man," and "Ex Machina." With plenty of digressions along the way, about feminism, parenting, sexism, and (once again) how hard it is to write an ending.
Special guest Lisa Schmeiser.
