12: The Comfort of Procedurals

Published: Nov. 19, 2013, midnight

We\'re back! And so is valued guest Mark Blankenship, who from the Blankenship Chair steers us into a discussion of what makes a great (or good enough) TV procedural. From there, Tara insisted that she\'s not a crackpot for wanting fewer TV-streaming options, the Cold Case theme and American Horror Story\'s Axe Man may have been deemed Worse Than Jazz, we asked whether Dave would hate upcoming archaeological thriller Dig, and Mark proposed a classic Briscoe-era Law & Order: Mothership (the Lauren Ambrose one) (no, the other one) (\\u2026the other other one) for the Canon. After talking Winner and Loser, we played a nail-biter of a Game Time, in super-maxi-sized Extra Hot Great that means we\'re thankful\\u2026for you.
