TV Geek Out 11: Pushing Daisies, "Frescorts"

Only Pushing Daisies would have a murder mystery involving a rent-a-friend service, taxidermy and a hugging machine. "Frescorts" had all of this, plus more insight into Emerson Cod, his badass private eye mom, Ned's codepency issues and the too-fast friendship between Chuck and Olive. Is too much friendship too much of a good thing? The TV Geek Out geeks discuss.

TV Geek Out 10: Gossip Girl, "Chuck in Real Life"

The dangerous liaisons of Chuck and Blair continue in "Chuck in Real Life" as the duo use Vanessa -- and the Brooklyn jazz bar she wants to save from demolition -- as pawns in their love-hate affair. Meanwhile, Dan tries to be a dude, Serena rebels against her mom's part-time parenting, Nate tries to hide his family's financial problems, and what may be the first African-American man on the show makes an appearance. The TV Geek Out geeks geek out about it all.

TV Geek Out 8: The Office, "Baby Shower"

Is a butter-covered watermelon the best approximation of a newborn? Just who could Jan's sperm donor be? Are the Office writers manufacturing too many problems between Jim and Pam? The TV Geek Out squad discusses these questions about "Baby Shower," and introduces The Soup du Jour of the Day. Eat up!

TV Geek Out 7: Pushing Daisies, "Bad Habits"

In this episode, Olive Snook isn't just a member of Pushing Daisies' mystery-solving squad, she's also a client -- and a better nun than some of the other sisters at the nunnery. The TV Geek Out geeks celebrate Pushing Daisies' return, dissect "Bad Habits"' filmic nods and much, much more.

TV Geek Out 6: Project Runway Finale

The fifth and (probably) final Bravo season of Project Runway ended with Tim Gunn serving as an eleventh-hour guest judge and Portland native Leanne winning it all. It wasn't a surprising outcome, but then again, the most remarkable thing about this season may have been its lack of surprises. TV Geek Out does a fashionably late post mortem on the finale and season five as a whole.
