TMI Chicago #4: The Game Shows Show

This week, Johnny and I (along with my boyfriend Jason) discuss game shows--good ones, bad ones, and forgotten ones. Here is the latest episode.

And, for your viewing pleasure, this is the parody of "The Weakest Link" that I mentioned in this week's episode:



We'll have more game show videos later in the week (hopefully).

Have comments about the show? Want to suggest a future episode? Want to discuss some of your favorite game shows? Send us an email! You can contact us at tmichicagoshow@gmail.com.

Tune in next week as we discuss commercials!

TMI Chicago #3: Top 10 Sitcoms

This week, Johnny and I discuss ten of our favorite situation comedies. You can find the episode here.

I was sort of surprised by all of the overlap. More than half of my shows were on Johnny's list as well. On the other hand, I really should not be too surprised because we watch a lot of sitcoms together. The other interesting note is that none of the shows we discussed are still running new episodes. We decided that this was because the current crop of sitcoms are either aimed at adults (with all of the immature "mature" humor) or aimed at kids. Our favorites were designed for families to watch together, which is no longer a target demographic for ANYTHING.

If you have comments, suggestions, or interesting business opportunities, please send us an e-mail! Our address is tmichicagoshow@gmail.com. Question for the week: What is your favorite sitcom? Also, be sure to join us next week for the Game Shows Show!

I had an excellent time at the CON!! Look for pictures soon-ish.

TMI Chicago #2: Endurance Training

This week, I discuss topics that bore Johnny and he discusses topics that bore me! Johnny talks about one of his favorite websites, Homestar Runner; I discuss Doctor Who. In the second half, Johnny discusses "YouTube Poops" and I talk about the vampire drama Blood Ties. We only hope that nobody thinks we're boring!

I apologize for the show being late. As Johnny explained yesterday, our power went out last night. It was back on surprisingly fast; despite the large number of fallen trees and branches, the outage only lasted four hours. However, we finished recording the show after ten o'clock last night, and then we had a brownout and decided to shut down the computer until today.

Long story short, our latest episode is available here.

Have comments about the show? Want to add to our discussion, or suggest a topic for an upcoming show? We would love to hear from you! Our email address is tmichicagoshow@gmail.com.

Coming up next week: A countdown of our favorite sitcoms!

TMI Chicago #1: A Few of Our Favorite Things

The TMI Chicago podcast is on the air! This week, Johnny and I each discuss five of our favorite television shows, movies, and pieces of Internet media. To keep us from rambling too long, we used a timer.

Here is our first episode.

Linkage!
* Cake Wrecks
* Homestar Runner
* Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series on YouTube and their official site.
* ItsJustSomeRandomGuy's channel, home of the Marvel/DC videos.
* The Vlogbrothers channel. DFTBA!
* TV Tropes (CAUTION: TV Tropes is highly addictive and may lead to a dramatic decrease in productivity).

Question for the week: what are some of your favorite things? We would love to hear from you! E-mail us at tmichicagoshow@gmail.com.

Coming next week: Johnny and I try to annoy each other by discussing things the other person cannot stand! Should be fun.

Quick site news

Johnny and I have just finished recording our first episode of the TMI Chicago podcast! I still need to do some editing, and figure out how to upload it to Podshow, and possibly create an RSS feed...barring any major technical difficulties, it should be available on Saturday morning.

This first episode ran kind of long--around 90 minutes. We are going to try and keep future episodes to around an hour, but since this was our first episode we really wanted to give you, the listeners, a sense of who we are. I do hope you will tune in and give it a listen!

Podcast preview

Next Saturday is the debut episode of the TMI Chicago podcast! For our first episode, we're going to introduce ourselves to you, the listeners, by discussing a few of our favorite things from TV, movies, and the Internet.

One of the things you'll learn about us is that we like to talk. A lot. So to keep our first show from running all evening, we're limiting ourselves to two minutes per topic. We've got a timer and everything. It's like speed dating! Not that I've ever been speed dating. In fact, I cannot remember ever seeing a real-life example of speed dating. My only exposure comes from using speed dating as a sitcom plot device. Or in this video, which is set up like a Candid Camera gag and is much funnier if you know who Tom Baker is. Otherwise you may be a bit confused.

See what I mean about getting off topic?

Each of us has a list of fifteen items to discuss (five movies, five TV shows, and five examples of Internet media). Please join us a week from today, and spread the word!

Johnny and I are going to alternate the Monday and Tuesday posts, so look for his first blog entry early next week.
