The Televerse #79- Bunheads with Erik Adams

After last week’s doom and gloom, we’re focusing on the happy side of TV for this week’s podcast (for the most part). After a surprisingly full week in TV, including the Top Chef Seattle finale, a preview of next week’s Grimm midseason premiere, and the Red Widow pilot, we spotlight last week’s highly quotable and moving episode of Justified, ”Outlaw”. Then we welcome on The A.V. Club's TV Editor, Erik Adams to help us take a look at the infectiously joyful first season of Bunheads.

After going through our week in TV, including Tuesday comedies, the premieres of Girls and Enlightened, The Good Wife, Bunheads, and the pilot of The Carrie Diaries, we spotlight the strong season four premiere of Justified, "Hole in the Wall". Take a listen and let us know your take on this week's TV!
