Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV

Orange Is The New Black Season 4 dropped over the weekend, and Monty joined the panel to talk pacing, mental illness, casting churn, and dark turns. We went around the dial with The Girlfriend Experience, a Skin Wars spinoff ("skin-off"?), Samantha Bee, OJ, and series that should know when to end before they start. After we got juiced with a Bob's Burgers Canon submission, Younger won, a Game Of Thrones bastard (and viewers) lost, and hilariously passionate user reviews dictated Game Time.

Just when you thought you were O.J.ed out after American Crime Story, ESPN presents O.J.: Made In America, and we bring true crime aficionada Stephanie Green back to talk about the first episode! Around The Dial spins through Veep, The Real Housewives Of Orange County, the Tony Awards, Cop Rock, and another very culturally sensitive ad of yesteryear. Stephanie makes her case for the Happy Endings episode "The Shershow Redemption" to be inducted into The Canon, and then after crowning the week's Winner and Loser, Game Time takes us somewhere no one can year you scream.

UnREAL is back for Season 2, and so is our esteemed colleague John Ramos, who joins the panel for a discussion of Hollywood truisms, miscasting, and whether the show is using Craig Bierko correctly. We went around the dial with Angie Tribeca, The Challenge, RHONYC, comics we had TV hopes for (now dashed), and the "high"lights of 1991 TV, before John brought an episode of Humans (heard of 'em?) to the Canon and we played a Nick Rheinwald-Jones Hot Potato Game Time. Who's more of a winner: The Bachelorette's Chad or Prison Break's Dominic? Is Niska our spirit animal? And will non-carnal wifeys Tara and Sarah be getting matching wristtoos?

As the "regular season" wraps up -- is that even a thing anymore? -- the gang plus Kim looks ahead to the new crop of shows, old favorites, and what we can't wait to watch...or boot off the season-pass list. Catfish, The Americans, Survivor, Scandal, and the now-weekly plug for Happy Valley took us Around The Dial before we got Lost in Kim's bold Canon submission, and declared the colonies and America our winner and loser. But who won Joe Reid's yodelicious Game Time? Where are we, really?

As Game Of Thrones returns from hiatus, and moves beyond the books, the gang plus Jeff and Nick talked about Jon Snow, Crone Castle, and what's next for the Starks. We went around the dial with Better Call Saul, Valleys Silicon and Happy, Houdini & Doyle, Project Runway All-Stars, and the National Enquirer before putting Angie's 30 Rock Canon submission under a "Black Light." Humans? Heard of 'em (they're winners), whoever has to retitle Live With Someone and Maybe Kelly is a loser, and Rib Hurtmann changed a few things in this week's Game Time.

Sarah D. Bunting is back from baseballing, and Stephanie Cangro is back to discuss the final season of American Idol, the Idol farewell, and what it all meant to us as a culture. Liv and a sugar high told us about Face Off and My Little Pony, and we went around the dial with Togetherness, true crime, dance shows, try-hards, and a creepy deodorant ad. Was Stephanie's I Love Lucy Canon TOO classic? Should Martin Sheen consider shutting up? And why did Sarah get Rickie Vasquez and a Nats catcher mixed up?
