Teachers Talking Tv Podcast

Somehow, Mr. Stueve convinced us to watch a Christmas Episode of "The Vampire Diaries" so here you go. Merry Christmas to everyone, including vampires, sirens, and all manner of magical creatures. P.S. Forgive the occasional microphone issues. Pretty sure the sirens are to blame.

We’re back for at least one episode, a Thanksgiving-adjacent episode of “Shark Tank.” We are back to shenanigans, tomfoolery and for added spice we threw in some flim-flammery. We hope your holiday weekend is void of drama—and if you need a short escape, we’d love for you to spend time listening to this. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music. If you like what you hear, give us a rating on iTunes.

A week late is better than never: it’s our yearly Thanksgiving episode. This year we are chatting about Gilmore Girls Season 3, Episode 9 “A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving.” Ms. Rowse calls this the pay-back episode for being forced to watch Twin Peaks. We hope you enjoy a little extension of the Thanskgiving spirit with this pod.  Spoiler Alert on later seasons of Gilmore Girls; be warned. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

Happy Halloween! This year we are talking about Season 6, Episode 7 of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." The episode is titled "Who Got Dee Pregnant," so there might be some themes in this one that aren't okay for little ears. We hope you enjoy it anyway. 

We’re back this week after a week off, and as a special treat, a longer nonsense intro for our tens of listeners. This week we are chatting about Parks and Rec, Season 7, Episode 7: “Donna and Joe.” We hope you enjoy. 

Life has hit  T3 hard the past couple of weeks, so we apologize for the delay in episodes. We hope the dated DiCaprio jokes hold up though. Today we chat about Parks and Rec Season 7, Episode 6, “Save JJ’s.” We hope you laugh at least once. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music. 

Is privacy dead? We chat about Parks and Rec season 7, episode 5: “Gryzzlbox,” and how it relates to our current social media landscape. We all declare “Gryzzlbox” as a quite perfect episode of television. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music. *Note: in case you are curious as to whether Ms. Rowse liked “Collateral,” she thinks it is mid.* 

What would you do if you were trapped in an office for ten hours with someone you used to adore but now do not? Watch “Leslie and Ron”—Parks and Recreation season 7, episode 4—for some insight into that very scenario. And listen to us chat about it! Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music. 

Do you like Parks and Rec? Do you like tangents about films and movie stars? Then you’ll like this week’s episode of Teachers Talking TV where we chat about Parks and Recreation Season 7, Episode 3, “William Henry Harrison.” Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music. 

This week we get to chat about the return of Tammy Two as we chat about “Ron and Jammy.” At one point, Ms. Rowse declares the episode has “gone off the rails” but most of that content has been cut in the interest of job preservation.  We hope you engage in the culture and enjoy this episode!  Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.  

We’re back for one more season! To close out Teachers Talking TV, we are ending how we started, with Parks and Recreation Season 7. This week we start off with episode 1, “2017.” Episode note: Ms. Rowse erroneously said Alias’ time jump happened at the end of season 1. It happens at the end of season 2. Please save your feedback about it.  

“A Charlie Brown Christmas”—just in time for Easter. Come for the discussion about this Christmas classic, stay for the discussion about Christmas presents and our first CDs. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.  

We chat about “It’s Thanksgiving, Charlie Brown!” And we decide it’s a miracle and Gen X-ers and Xennials survived a general lack of parenting and seat belt laws. May your mashed potatoes be free of experimental citrus. Rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts! Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

Yes, it’s the end of November and we are releasing a Halloween episode, but hey, the content is still free for you. We break down “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!” and have varying opinions on the entire concept of the Peanuts gang, and we hope it makes you laugh at least once. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

It’s our 89th episode of the podcast, and the last episode of Arrested Development Season 3. We place this finale in the halls of “best series finales” because we are not aware of any other seasons of the show. We’ll be back in a couple of weeks with a Halloween episode, followed by our usual Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes, before going on hiatus. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music, and an extra special thanks to you, our listeners, for hanging in with us this season. Rate and review us wherever possible!

Listeners, does Stueve ever have a television theory for you this week! We are discussing Arrested Development, Season 3, Episode 12 “Exit Strategy.” We tried a different recording mechanism and have swung from too quiet to too loud. But we persevere for you, our dear listeners. Give us a rating on iTunes and tell your friends! Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

Come for a chat about Arrested Development, Season 3 Episode 11...stay for the shenanigans. There are many. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

A note: yes, Ms. Rowse’s voice is very quiet and Mr. Reimer’s and Mr. Stueve’s voices are very loud. We are having some audio struggles, adding to Rowse’s theory that we are cursed this season. Also, all three of us are pretty punchy, so enjoy this episode as much as you can. It was our first with a live audience of yearbook staffers working on their pages before deadline, and we go off on several cinematic tangents that we hope make you laugh as much as we did.

This week we just have a good old-fashioned chat about an episode of a TV show, what we liked, what we didn’t, and what were our favorite lines. Enjoy it? Rate us on iTunes, and tell your friends about us! Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music; his band Safari Room head back out on tour in a couple of weeks, so check them out on Instagram for tour info.

It’s another week of Teachers Talking TV and we are chatting about Arrested Development Season 3, Episode 8 “Making a Stand.” So pop a banana in the freezer and enjoy our discussion. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the music.
