The Orange Couch, Episode 1 of Doctor Who: “Asylum of the Daleks”

There’s two Orange Couch videos this week, because as we’re winding down Breaking Bad, we’re picking up Doctor Who! For all you people who turned me on to this show last May when I was asking for Netflix recommendations, you people created a monster. Two, in fact. Three, if you…

The Orange Couch, Episode 8 of Breaking Bad: Gliding Over All”

The DNC starts tonight, but first, the last episode of The Orange Couch’s video recapping and analysis of Breaking Bad. Vince Gilligan seems to have unnerved a lot of recappers; they expect seasons to close with a big bang, but this one ended with a man on the toilet. (Where…

The Orange Couch, Episode 5 of Breaking Bad: “Dead Weight”

The Orange Couch, Episode 7 of Mad Men: The Codfish Ball

Weird as it may be to say this, but this was a relatively light episode of “Mad Men”. I realize the image of poor Sally Draper getting an eyeful of blow job is a shocker. Learning that Megan’s parents are awful is no fun, either. But this was probably the…

The Orange Couch, Episode 4 of Mad Men: “Mystery Date”

I wasn’t in town to record for this episode of “The Orange Couch”, but I helped write it and find the “Mystery Date” video. Oh, the marvels of digital communication! Like Marc, I’m not too fond of the dream sequence crap. They’ve been escalating the amount of time we spend…

The Orange Couch, Episode 3 of Mad Men: “Tea Leaves”

As promised, this week’s edition of The Orange Couch, where Marc and I analyze the latest episode of “Mad Men”. I’m particularly pleased with my thoughts towards the end comparing the Michael Ginsberg storyline to the Rolling Stones one. Weiner is doing something much more interesting with the younger generation…

“Mad Men” tomorrow, “Community” today

The Orange Couch isn’t going anywhere. For what should be the only time in the run of our new online video series about “Mad Men”, an episode will have to be delayed a day. But we have a very good reason! Sorry, y’all. As much as I love “Mad Men”,…
