The Couch Potatoes

Are you watching the new NBC family drama "This Is Us"? If not, you should! Many are calling it the best new show of the Fall season, so we're going to discuss it. We'll also see how it, and the rest of the new shows are stacking up in the ratings so far. AND, is "Westworld" the new LOST? ~Brett

The Fall TV Preview continues, a few more shows are coming your way this week, including one of the biggest shows on TV: The Walking Dead.

This week we'll go over some more of the new shows we've been watching this Fall season, we'll preview what's new this week on TV, and despite being in season 33, Survivor continues to be solid entertainment.

It's the October Movie Preview! Surprisingly, only one scary movie this month for Halloween. Also, the fall television preview continues with nine shows to tell you about.

Well look at that, I forgot to load last week's show again. Sorry about that. We'll talk some more fall tv. ~Brett

The Fall TV Preview continues with a look at what's coming your way over the next seven days. Also, Brangelina... ah who cares.

The Couch Potatoes Fall TV Preview has begun! SO MANY SHOWS coming up this week, we'll run through all of them and tell you about the new shows making their debut. Also -- some quick Emmy predictions ahead of the awards show on Sunday.

Well look at that, I forgot to load last week's podcast! The Couch Potatoes September Movie Preview. ~Brett

LOTS to talk about this week. The Fall TV season, Jeff went to see Sully, and I checked out Hell or High Water. ~Brett

Crap I forgot to load this week's show! Better late than never I suppose. This week we talk about the Netflix series Stranger Things, again -- last week we'd started watching it, this week I finished it. Jeff checked out a new reality show called Better Late Than Never, and says it's fun. It stars William Shatner, Henry Winkler, Terry Bradshaw and George Foreman. What's not to like? ~Brett

Hi there, Brett here. This week The Couch Potatoes did some binging. I started watching and got caught up on the excellent HBO murder mystery 'The Night Of', and caught up on the HBO demon-possession show 'Outcast' -- which just wrapped up last week. I'll tell you about those. Also, Jeff and I started watching the Netflix series 'Stranger Things', because we keep hearing good things about the 80s...

Jeff ventures off the beaten path this week with a review of "The Lobster", a movie now streaming about a world where if you don't find a mate by a certain age, they turn you into an animal. Also, Brett finally got around to seeing "Star Trek: Beyond", and it's excellent! 

It's the August Movie Preview! We'll tell you about all the big releases of the month, including another DC debacle, 'Suicide Squad', as well as a couple of movies that look Oscar-worthy, which is odd for the dog days of Summer. We'll also talk about how a comedian has written a Seinfeld script where he imagines how the selfish characters would react to 9/11. 

This week we've got a review of 'Jason Bourne', which should be called 'The Bourne Redundancy'. Also, we'll go through all the cool stuff to come out of Comic-Con last week -- including a surprise horror sequel

This week on The Couch Potatoes, Jeff went to see Ghostbusters this week and rather enjoyed it, so he'll share his thoughts. Also, now that I (Brett) am finished binging on Game of Thrones, I finally got around to some of the stuff piling up on my PVR, and I've got a bone to pick with one of those shows. 

Do we NEED a new Ghostbusters movie? Jeff says Why Not? Brett says Meh. Also, we'll set up a couple of HBO comedies coming this weekend -- season 2 of 'Ballers', starring THE ROCK, and the new Danny McBride comedy 'Vice-Principals'.

This week we'll tee up season 2 of one of our favourite shows from 2015, Mr. Robot. Also, Jeff reviews season 4 of Orange Is The New Black, and I'll give a quick review of a show I recently plowed through -- Banshee. ~Brett

It's the Couch Potatoes July Movie Preview -- looking at some of the big movies coming your way. We've also got a debrief on the season finale of Game of Thrones. 

Forgot to post last week's show! 

Who wants to go outside and do stuff? We'll talk about some of the summer TV coming your way. Also, Jeff's been feverishly trying to stay on top of the ESPN doc "OJ Made In America", and Brett's annoyed with some news about "The Conjuring 2". 

It's like Hallowe'en in June! Brett's got a review of 'The Conjuring 2' and the new HBO show 'Outcast'. Jeff meanwhile will cower in fear during these reviews because he's a scaredy-cat.

It's the June Movie Preview! SO MANY SEQUELS THIS MONTH. Also, Jeff's got a review of X-Men: Apocalypse. 

Whoops! Forgot to load our show from May 28th where we do a bit of a debrief on the end of the network TV season, and complain about all the tv shows coming that are based on old movies. 

Jeff Braun saw 'The Nice Guys' this week, and has a glowing review of the caper which stars Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe. Also, it was a busy week for TV with the big US networks unveiling their fall schedules. AND, one more busy week for season finales as we head into the end of May Sweeps, so we'll tell you what shows will be done over the next few days.

A slew of season finales are coming your way this week, we'll tell you which shows are wrapping up. Also, Brett offers a second take on Captain America: Civil War.
