In this very special episode: For Memorial Day weekend, the Idiots give a heartfelt thanks to all men and women in the military who have served the country, and they take a moment to remember those who have fallen. They then take some time to talk TV news and go through a slate of season (and series) finales. After stumbling into discussions about Slip ‘N’ Slides, Kevin Smith’s hypocrisy and Will Smith’s (so far) bulletproof charisma, they settle into some DVD suggestions, two Sound-Offs and an Idiot Recommendation. The Idiots then prepare to face the summer season of television and say good-bye to their loyal fans in Kenya and Ireland.

In this very special episode: It’s the big, fat 50th episode of The Idiot Boxers, so the Idiots proudly toast with glasses of donkey semen and urine to celebrate the event. (Trust us, after you listen to this show, it will all make sense to you.) They chat about how much they don’t care about the Super Bowl while Kevin discovers something amazing about Merrill and his dog. Then they talk TV news and are bewildered by some of the choices NBC is making in pilot season. Then, it’s off to review some shows while Kevin discusses the finer points of strip clubs in the Sound-Off segment. Finally, it’s an Idiot Recommendation before the Idiots look forward to another 50 episodes of the show.

GREY’S ANATOMY: THE COMPLETE SEVENTH SEASON
(not rated)
MOVIE: ** (out of 5)
DVD EXPERIENCE: **1/2 (out of 5)
In this very special episode: Even though the early weeks of summer have left the Idiots with fewer options to watch, they have plenty to talk about in this episode. After some early shenanigans which include Amanda Seyfreid’s breasts and Merrill’s escort ads on Craigslist, the Idiots get down with their reviews of the current shows, including a look at the new TNT drama Falling Skies. Of course, things soon deteriorate in the episode as Kevin tells Walt Flanigan and a pot-smoking, chubby filmmaker what they can do with themselves. Later, Merrill actually complains about Flashpoint, and Kevin takes aim at fraudulant criminals in Extreme Couponing.

In this very special episode: With the first episode of 2011, the Idiot Boxers ring in the new year by talking about the best and worst of 2010. After reviewing the scant number of new shows over the past two weeks, they talk about what rocked and what sucked in the past year. Then, the Idiots moved on to sound-off, DVD picks and a couple recommendations. Happy 2011, folks!

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.

In this very special episode: Belive it or not, Kevin and Merrill are still doing the show. Whoever thought they could feel so free? Flying away on a wing and a prayer, who could it be?… Kevin pays homage to teh greatest TV theme song ever while Merrill launches hatred for anything 70s and 80s. But first, the Idiots talk about the latest episode of television, what time slot is most likely to kill a series and hate on the big screen adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. And Merrill declares that he will watch an entire season of Grey’s Anatomy. What a trooper.

In this very special episode: In catch-up mode, the Idiot Boxers cover the slate of TV from the beloved 24 (RIP… sniff, sniff) to what show ABC wants to use as a replacement for LOST.
