How about Mad Men? Or are we just talking genre?
Dr. Horrible had lots of monologuing. . . but I think that was the format.
Angel: Lorne, you're— Lorne: Reliable as a cheap fortune cookie? Angel: I was gonna say a guy with good contacts…

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I don't think there's a dearth of multiple-participant conversations on TV, except perhaps Smallville (the JSA 2-parter was notable in that several people were in a room at the same time, all speaking to one another). And, of course, SGU, where people only talk to hear their own voices rather than to communicate anything to others.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I watched Dr. Horrible, at last. It was wonderful; I can't understand why I put off watching it for so long.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just went through the Fringe DVD special features. I really like the "Analyzing the Scene" featurettes they have. They actually talk to the stunt doubles! Very cool behind-the-scenes look. The gag reel was really funny too. Also, John Noble is adorably geeky about his own show.
I was very amused by one writer's comparison of Fringe to The Iliad. Peter is Helen of Troy!

Have you been to the Fringe website and seen the "Deep in the Lab with Dr. Bishop" clips?

For once I'm actually grateful to SciFi. This is more Kavan Smith-y goodness than I've gotten in a single show in pretty much forever.

Am I alone in my happy anticipation of AMC's The Walking Dead tonight?
