Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV

Nearly two full years after Netflix introduced us to spies Helen (Keira Knightley) and Sam (Ben Whishaw) and their handler Reed (Sarah Lancashire), Black Doves is BACK for its second season and a whole new kill list; first-time guest Brian Grubb joins us to discuss all the tradecrafty fun. Around The Dial takes us through the forthcoming Cunk On Cinema (and other Cunk outings), OJ’s Accomplice, and Off Campus. Brian pitches the Zooepisode “The Walls Of Jericho” for induction into The Canon. Then, after naming the week’s Winner and Loser, we close out with a Game Time that knows how to sit and stay.

The latest Nordic noir property to get an adaptation set in a majority English-speaking country is Apple’s Nocturne, about a serial killer preying on a small town in Pennsylvania. Is this jawn YOU need to investigate? The Hollywood Reporter TV critic Angie Han joins us for the first time to talk about it. Around The Dial takes us through S02 of The Fall And Rise Of Reggie Dinkins, It Gets Worse, and Quincy, M.E. Dave pitches the third episode of Scavengers Reign for induction into The Canon. Then, after naming the week’s Winner and Loser, we close up with a killer Non-Regulation Game Time.

After falling in love playing spouses in Madam Secretary, Tim Daly and Téa Leoni are co-stars again in Newlyweds, a multi-cam sitcom on NBC co-created by Jamie Lee Curtis (who also plays Daly’s character’s obnoxious ex-wife); we tell you whether it made us want to run off to Vegas and marry it, or run off to Norway, where it presumably does not air. Around The Dial clicks through S03 of Nobody Wants This and Netflix’s Tyson. Tara pitches the Girls episode “Flo” for induction into The Canon. Then, after crowning the week’s Winner and Loser, we close up with a Non-Regulation Game Time that’s NOT TV: it’s HBO.

Did we need a Friday The 13th prequel? Probably not — and Dan Rogge returns to analyze why we may not need this particular prequel. Is the ratio of squishy kills to meditations on grief incorrect? Did it need fewer episodes and more murderous bears? Is it for fans of the franchise, or very much not for them? We went Around The Dial with a “Squid Jaws” update, the 9-1-1s, Matchbox: The Movie: The Car, and The Good Wife before Dave programmed a Canon pitch for Look Around You‘s episode on computers. Scott Bakula (bluh) won, Mary CAROLE McDonnell lost, and we gave theme songs a spin in Game Time. Take a break from woodland-charcuterie prep and have a listen.GUESTS👤 Dan Blau RoggeTOPICSLead Topic: ⛺️ Crystal Lake Around The Dial: 🦑 Below Around The Dial: 👩‍🚒 9-1-1 Around The Dial: 🎸 9-1-1: Nashville Around The Dial: 🚙 Matchbox: The Movie Around The Dial: 👩🏻 The Good Wife The Canon: ⌨️ Look Around You S02.E05: ComputersWinner & Loser: 🎭 Scott BakulaWinner & Loser: 🚓 Mary Carole McDonnellGame Time: 📻 TV On The RadioSUPPORT THE SHOW🔥 Join the EHG Club for bonus episodes, no ads, community Discord and more!🎧 Subscribe to EHG on Apple Podcasts for bonus episodes and no ads!🛍️ Shop our merch store!NOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our site💛 "How To Watch E!'s The Golden Life" (from, among others, Dan Rogge) at E News🔥 EHG 636 and its Good Wife Canon pitch🚽 The "Diarrhea Dan" gameplay walkthrough on YouTube🎨 "Paint Chip People"📚 Mystery sale at Exhibit B.

The Kings are back on network TV with Cupertino, which basically transplants the signature qualities of the Good Wife-verse to Silicon Valley — and Margaret H. Willison is back to talk about whether that’s a good choice, the cameos we’re looking forward to, and how the show can loop other storylines into a tech-forward plot brief. We went Around The Dial with Below, Love Is Blind‘s Boston season, GBBO‘s audience episode, and Kill. Bury. Print., and Margaret hoped we’d crown an episode of the original King show, The Good Wife, for the Canon. Nicolas Cage won, Kelly Clarkson lost, and we tried to guess which hosts had the most (acting experience) in Game Time.
