Introduction: The Televoid presents… The AMPire Diaries “We know the risk, but we have to podcast…” (or some variation of that intro that will be constantly botched in the actual podcast… and I’m sorry for that — xoxo, Gossip Fergs) Welcome to The AMPire Diaries: The Televoid’s Official Vampire Diaries recap and rewatch podcast. Hosted by longtime Vampire Diaries fans LaToya Ferguson (@lafergs) and Morgan Lutich (@LorganMutich), alongside first-time viewer Jill Defiel (@jiilbobaggins), The...

It might still technically be spring, but we decided to put the call out to Summer Girls everywhere a little bit early and come out of hibernation. We're back -- again! Join your hosts @maurae and @lafergs as we discuss Raising Dad and the era-appropriate cameo episode starring LFO's Rich Cronin. Join us in discussing the influence of BBMak on the culture, Academy Award Winner Brie Larson's early disinterest in teen heartthrobs, and why casting Kat Dennings has always proven a good choice....

Into every generation a set of iconic twins is born: two girls in all the world, a chosen two. Unfortunately, the viewing audiences for The CW's Ringer disagreed and this show was swiftly cancelled after only one delightfully campy season. Get ready for us to make a strong argument why that was a huge mistake. Join your hosts @maurae and @lafergs as we talk about the perfect follow-up to our coverage of FPJ's star vehicle, Sarah Michelle Gellar's double roles as Bridget and Siobhan, along...

Time to wrap up our coverage of the second half of the season long chaos that took place on The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Inferno. Join your hosts @maurae and @lafergs as they finish the discussion talking about explosive tempers, our never-ending mutual hatred of Julie, and our new campaign to retroactively award CT an Emmy for the scene where he confronts Leah about her being sent to the Inferno.

Time to turn up the heat and stoke some superficial rivalries! We revisited The Real World/Road Rules Challenge where it, arguably, started going off the rails: The Inferno. Join your hosts @maurae and @lafergs as they start the discussion of our favorite cast members' origins, the stupid hot nature of a thick Boston accent, and what exactly constitutes attempted murder. AS REFERENCED IN THE EPISODE: THE FULL CAST: http://thechallenge.wikia.com/wiki/The_Inferno CORAL AND MIKE ORIGINS:...

Surfs up and we're back out catching waves. We revisit the delightfully soapy North Shore and watch their series finale. Join your hosts @maurae and @lafergs as they discuss the financials behind night club ownership, the benefits of eloping, and a twist ending that might be one of the wildest moments covered on the podcast.

Yes, that's right. We returned to the scene of the crime. Literally, a building was burned down and a very serious actor was injured by falling plaster debris! Also Paris Hilton's entire existence is basically a felony. Join your hosts @maurae and @lafergs as they return to look again at MTV's Movie Life: House of Wax to discuss why the Padalecki hate has ceased, a reminder of what an alpha male is, and how this show is the perfect encapsulation of the 2000s. AS REFERENCED IN THE EPISODE:...

We're back, babyyy! Jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire, we're starting off with the aptly titled Freddie Prinze Jr. vehicle, #Freddie! Join your hosts @maurae and @lafergs as we discuss 2000s chef comedies, classism, and the avian flu.

We took another stroll through the WB archives of forgotten one-season gems and watched all of #BlackSash!
