The Idiot Boxers – Episode 19

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiots are facing holiday fatigue and the burdens of November Sweeps. Kevin faces the challenges by refusing to catch up on his stories, while Merrill pushes ahead and tries to watch everything on television. The first big casualty of the season is the loss of a “Sound Off”-only segment, which was absorbed into the final segment like so much turkey in Kevin’s belly. They have a smack-down over Conan, and later Merrill reveals too much about his excitement for The Golden Girls complete series package. Yikes!

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 18

Posted on

In this very special episode: You know how last episode was supposed to be the most offensive episode yet? Well, you haven’t heard this episode. Be the judge afterwards. The Idiots get off to a slow start, but soon fatigue and irritation at political correctness cause Kevin to start swearing and daring to say evern worse words. (Again… sorry, Dawn from California.) After the basic discussion of what rocked and what sucked, Merrill’s ass falls off his body, and he smacks his head into the desk. They also sound off about South Park and election advertising before the Idiot Recommendations, which may or may not include a variety show version of the SuperFriends.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 17

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiot Boxers return with what could be their most offensive episode yet. They may be talking about shows under broadcast standards but they’re definitely using some HBO language. (Well, Merrill uses the HBO language while Kevin just conjures up some extremely disturbing imagery… sorry Dawn from California.) They talk about the shows that rocked and the shows that sucked, plus a copious amount of TV news. Then they sound off about things like The Incredible Hulk and CBS’s streaming policy. Finally, they exhaustively round things out with TV-on-DVD picks and Idiot Recommendations.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 16

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiot Boxers come back from an exhausting premiere week to talk about the shows that continue to keep their interest. In an attempt to appeal more to the ladies of the audience, Kevin invites a special guest into the Magical Studio in the Sky – Ellen (aka @TheLawyerChick on Twitter), who is a big fan of Kate Walsh and Private Practice. In an effort of diplomacy, Merrill is left out of that discussion. The Idiot Boxers sound off about online advertising and movie/TV talent cross-overs before laying down their DVD picks.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 15

Posted on

In this very special episode: Hey, hey! It’s premiere week at the Magical Studio in the Sky, and the Idiot Boxers have been furiously at work catching up on all the new television shows. They crank out the longest first segment in the history of the show, which we will refer to as $#i! That Merrill Likes. Have no fear, they drop the infamous Sound Off segment to keep things brief and also get into a couple fights about new shows and old. Oh, and a surprising amount of love for the CW shows this week. Go figure.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 3

Posted on

In this very special episode: Couch potatoes Kevin Carr and Merrill meet up again in the Magical Studio in the Sky to bring you a rapid-fire review of the many TV shows on the internet. Merrill laments the cancellation of 24 while Kevin bursts his bubble by suggesting (or rather, predicting) that the planned feature film will be shot in 3D. This leads into an Idiot Sound-Off about TV-to-movie adaptations. And Merrill continues to not comprehend the lengthy run of Doctor Who.
