Customer Reviews
Has potential to be one of the best TV criticism podcasts
There are a lot of TV criticism podcasts out there, but this one has a few key differences from the rest. Instead of having two regular co-hosts every week, Cory Barker has a different guest (or guests) on each podcast. This allows many different voices to be heard. I love the Firewall and Iceberg podcast, but Sepinwall and Fienberg agree on most things and you can probably guess what they're going to think about something. This podcast has had lots of awesome people on to talk about TV.
Another great thing about TV Surveillance is that the episodes always focus on only one or two topics. This allows Cory and the guest(s) to go in depth on the topics and really give you an understanding of the bigger picture. This is best demonstrated in the November 30th episode that focused on Social TV and featured Andrew Seroff.
In conclusion, TV Surveillance is awesome and you should listen to it.
