The Televerse #107- 2013 Fall Network TV Preview

The fall TV season is ramping up, meaning it’s time for our network pilot preview. This week also featured perhaps one of the best episodes of television ever produced, Breaking Bad’s “Ozymandias”, so there’s plenty to discuss this week on the podcast. First we look at our week in TV, including a preview of Key & Peele’s third season, the premiere of The Heart, She Holler, and the finales of SYTYCD and The Newsroom. Then we do a deep dive into “Ozymandias”, with the longest spotlight in The Televerse history, and we finish by taking a look at the various network comedies and dramas on offer this fall (with a few cable channels thrown in).
