Listen: Firewall & Iceberg Podcast No. 165
Dan and Alan talk TCA press tour, 'Girls,' 'Shameless' and more
Happy Monday, Boys & Girls! We're in Pasadena to record a new installment of The Firewall & Iceberg Podcast.
Actually, we're in Pasadena for the Television Critics Association press tour, but y'all probably knew that already.
In this week's installment, Sepinwall and I debrief after the first three-ish days of press tour and then we review a slew of cable shows including the new Cinemax drama "Banshee," HBO's "Girls" and "Enlightened" and Showtime's "Shameless."
It's unclear when we're gonna podcast next, but... it'll totally be "sometime."
Here's today's breakdown:
TCA Press Tour (00:01:20 - 00:34:55)
"Banshee" (00:35:10 - 00:43:20)
"Girls" (00:43:25 - 00:53:40)
"Enlightened" (00:53:45 - 00:59:29)
"Shameless" (00:59:30 - 01:10:50)

A long-time member of the TCA Board and a longer-time blogger of "American Idol," Dan Fienberg writes about TV, except for when he writes about movies or sometimes writes about the Red Sox. But never music. He would sound stupid talking about music.

dan Darren - We have FX on Wednesday. I assume Landgraf will say they're still trying. Maybe. It'd be shocking if they actually just admitted they failed with that one...

January 7, 2013 at 10:23PM EST Reply to CommentIsn't part of the myth of the Banshee that it shows up just as a person dies and begins its wailing. So the main character being the first one at the scene when the sheriff died would make him the banshee in that situation.
I'm admittedly stretching a bit here.
dan Other Scott -- You *are* stretching, but it also makes me wish this one had been paneled so that I could ask about the evocation of the name... Oh well!

January 8, 2013 at 10:58AM EST Reply to CommentI have to believe HBO will take a subscription hit utill "GOT" comes back on 3/31. Personally, neither "Enlightened" nor "Girls" are worth $0.15/mo. let alone $15.00/mo. Terrible planning to not have something ready to go once "Luck" was canceled. With "Shameless" rejuvinated "Dexter" and "Nurse Jackie," "Homeland" and the previews for "Masters of Sex" and "Ray Donovan" which look interesting, Showtime has clearly surpassed HBO in both quality and quantity. I'll renew for "GOT" and I enjoy "Boardwalk" but I gave up on "True Blood" long ago. Unless their development improves, I can't see keeping a subscription to anytime longer than "GOT's" 10 weeks since with HBO GO I can catch up "Boardwalk" then.
