Review: 'The L.A. Complex' moves from Canada to the CW

Firewall & Iceberg Podcast, episode 125: 'The L.A. Complex,' 'Mad Men,' 'Game of Thrones' & more
Dan and Alan also talk about the 'Girls' backlash and check in on reality TV
On this week's Firewall & Iceberg Podcast, Dan and I come to an unexpected consensus on the CW's Canadian import "The L.A. Complex" (I'll have a written review posted tomorrow morning), do our periodic Dan's Reality Round-Up segment, answer a bunch of mail (including a lot of "Girls" discussion), check in on "Mad Men" like usual but also devote a few minutes to recent developments on "Game of Thrones." Busy busy busy.
The line-up:
'Mad Men' - 'Far Away Places': The HoJo code
Peggy, Roger and Don take three very different trips
The passage of time was a major issue for Don and everyone else on this episode of "Mad Men."

'Veep' - 'Fundraiser': Plastics!
What did everybody think of HBO's new political satire?
Anna Chlumsky in "Veep."
I posted my review of HBO's "Veep" on Friday morning. Now it's your turn. What did everybody think of Julia Louis-Dreyfus as V-POTUS? If you're a fan of Armando Iannucci's UK work, did this stack up, or did you miss the presence of Malcolm Tucker? Were any "My Girl" fans scarred by seeing Ann Chlumsky in this kind of role? How do you feel Tony Hale did? And, most importantly, are you going to watch again?
Though I enjoyed this show a lot, I'm not planning to do weekly write-ups of it. Not only are Sundays a complete bear, but the three episodes I've seen are all very much of a piece, and I doubt I'd have interesting/different things to say each week, even if my time was less constrained.
So have at it, and I'll check back in either later in the season if they do an unusual episode, or else at the very end.
'Game of Thrones' - 'Garden of Bones': I smell dead people!
Joffrey sends Tyrion a message, Robb launches an attack, and Melisandre shocks Davos

'Awake' - 'Nightswimming': He made me a mixtape!
The series' first real dud focuses too much on the guest stars
Even the publicity photos for this week's "Awake" focus too much on the guest stars at the expense of Jason isaacs.
A quick review of last night's "Awake" coming up just as soon as I have a cassette player...
'30 Rock' - 'Murphy Brown Lied to Us': KouchTown breakdown
Liz and Jack's interests collide in the funniest episode in ages
On "30 Rock," Liz (Tina Fey) has something to smile about.
A review of last night's "30 Rock" coming up just as soon as I make out with Paz de la Huerta at a children's museum...
