The Idiot Boxers – Episode 28

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiots start off talking not about television, but about music videos, as Merrill tries to understand Kevin’s unnatural obsession with Rebecca Black’s “Friday.” Eventually, they get on track to talk about what rocked before moving on to an uncharacteristically cogent discussion about television news. No worries, because Merrill miraculously derails himself in the “What Sucked” segment by over-ranting about V. Eventually, the Idiots wrap things up with DVD reviews and recommendations.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 26

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiots dance around the Magical Studio in the Sky to celebrate the first episode of Season Two, ringing in their one-year anniversary of the show. Kevin celebrates by eating a donut, while Merrill celebrates by letting Kevin derail the show at least three times in the first segment. The Idiots talk about what rocked and what sucked on television these past two weeks, go over some TV news with some detailed analysis of Charlie Sheen, then they give some Idiot Recommendations and get generally offensive.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 24

Posted on

In this very special episode: Just because Kevin is recovering from a bad case of strep throat doesn’t mean he can’t be an Idiot. Together with Merrill, they talk about all things orange, bacterial infections, what constitutes pornography on television and all there was that sucked and rocked on the boob tube these past few weeks. Merrill sounds off about awkward TV theme song transitions, and Kevin looks back a the UK version of The Office. Then it’s a batch of TV-on-DVD and Idiot Recommendations before the Idiots crawl away in shame for yet another couple weeks.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 20

Posted on

In this very special episode: After surviving Thanksgiving and November sweeps, the Idiots get together to go through the basics… and to complain about people who can’t understand the simple concept of aspect ratios. They also hear about Merrill’s terrible, horrible, no go, very bad weekend, and Kevin just laughs. Then they talk rape on TV, lay down some DVD picks and offer some recommendations.

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 5

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiot Boxers are ramping up for May sweeps with anticipation of finales in 24 and Lost. They also invite a special guest into the Magical Studio in the Sky – the Prophet Muhammed, who wears a bear costume but doesn’t speak for fear of retribution. This leads Kevin and Merrill to talk about some more controversial topics, including the most recent South Park episodes, Conan’s move to TBS and an Idiot Boxer rage-out at Ugly Betty… and one final topic so controversial that the network demanded censorship!

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.
