On the Floor # 35: Sleepy Hollow, Big Life Choices, and How to Make Us Cry

This week’s On the Floor is one of the most interesting podcasts that we’ve done and we pack a lot into the 47 minute episode. Among the topics up for discussion are how boneheaded these supernatural shows are with stories and actors of color, why Nicole Beharie and Arden Cho were right to leave Sleepy

If I Had an Emmy Ballot…the Best of the 2013-2014 TV Season

Have you all had a chance to check out the Emmy ballots? You should have by now consdering they were released last week 🙂 Anyways, it has come time to discuss the best of TV in the 2013-2014 season, as my summer loves True Blood and Teen Wolf are going to start the new season off this coming week. When I think about what the 2013-2014 season gave to us, it’s pretty clear that the year was one of the broadest ranges of television viewers had to choose from. I think that I watched a grand total of 25 TV shows this year in their entirety (be that 22 or less episodes) which meant narrowing down the fields took forever. There are several shows such as The Good Wife or Veep that coasted to easy wins in their categories, but just as many areas that I had to really think about the choices. Category fraud also came into some play because though the Emmys might see it one way (ALL the maids in Devious Maids are lead?! True Detective as a drama series?) I was left with spaces to fill and harsh decisions to make.

Ah television, the (almost) love of my life. I have spent so much time over the course of my years watching television and this year was no exception. Making this post however was actually quite a struggle given that I’ve actually shaved down the amount of TV I watch since I got to grad school. That and the fact that during the summer, there was only one show worth watching (The Fall) and I caught that way back in May. Anyways, I did manage to come up with a Top 10 TV shows of the season so far list that doesn’t suck so here it is.
