About the podcast:
Remote Possibilities is a podcast about all things TV produced by NJ Advance Media. New episodes air every Wednesday.
The pressing issue on the Remote Possibilities podcast: Has NBC’s “This Is Us” lost its mojo?
For the prosecution, Erin Medley, who thinks the storylines have grown stale and who thinks Milo Ventimigilia’s Jack Pearson has been set up as too saintly (well, until the ominous ending of Tuesday night’s episode).
For the defense: Vicki Hyman, who offers up Sterling K. Brown’s increasingly deep performance as the tightly-wound Randall.
Submitted into evidence: Three empty boxes of Kleenex.
This week, we also discuss the significance of ABC’s “The Bachelor” finally casting its first black “Bachelorette” in Rachel Lindsay; the increasingly batty but still enjoyable “Riverdale” on The CW; and Katherine Heigl’s new CBS legal procedural “Doubt” (Erin’s nominee for newest Sunday naptime show, if that gives you any indication).
The podcast closes with a chat with Hoboken’s own Artie Lange, who will be co-starring as himself in HBO’s new comedy “Crashing,” which premieres Sunday at 10:30 p.m. and stars Pete Holmes in a lightly-fictionalized version of his early days in stand-up. Check it out.
