tfg1mike — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 03:03:23 +0000

It is a very short week for the JTS Returns crew. This also means that the lineup got shaken up. Join TFG1Mike, OptimusSolo, and Steve/Megatron as they cover the ratings, Alcatraz, and more. Then we also talk about the awesomness that is White Collar, The Big Bang Theory, and how that comedy can do no wrong, plus the fact that Mike has had a renewed interest in The Finder. OptimusSolo only had Criminal Minds this week, so he’ll be gicing his thoughts on that. Sit back, relax, grab some snacks, and be prepared to find out the TV shows we think you need to watch!

NEW TV SHOWS:

TWIG-Ep 74-OSCARS discussion

TWiG Crew — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:44:25 +0000

The red carpet has rolled up and put into storage for yet another year….but does that mean we can’t bitch about things…

This year’s ceremonies had their share of surprises and upsets but mostly were full of bland comedy from bland hosts and bland overall presentation. Dave and Pierce talk about the movies that were nominated and won, some deserved and some not so much.

Overall, Dave and Pierce take the movies apart piece by piece for you and let fly with opinions that would fit right in with the Nitpicker’s guild.

So download and enjoy!
