The Televerse #24- Spotlight on Fringe/Interview with Kevin Chapman
This week, Simon and Kate bring back the Spotlight of Shame during their week in TV before spotlighting the latest episode of Fringe, “Welcome to Westfield”. Then Kate interviews Kevin Chapman, currently starring in CBS’s Person of Interest, about the series and his career and finds out just how important it can be to go to the gym.
This week, we cover New Girl, The River pilot, Justified, Suburgatory, Happy Endings, Top Chef: Texas, 30 Rock, Archer, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, The Fades, An Idiot Abroad, Downton Abbey (Shame!), Luck, Castle, Lost Girl, The Voice, and Smash.
Errata: I mention an actor as “Blackburn” when discussing The River. I was referring to charismatic British actor Paul Blackthorne, whose name had escaped me. My bad!

Kate is a violinist by day, TV-aholic by night, and film geek by somewhere around dawn. While attending UIUC, she earned a Masters Degree in Violin Performance and a Schrute Buck in a Pop Culture Trivia Contest; of the two, so far only the latter has hung on her wall. Her favorite movies are The Princess Bride, Casablanca, and The Third Man and her favorite TV shows are Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Wire, and Arrested Development. 
Good job with the Kevin Chapman interview. He seems like a nice guy, which made for an enjoyable conversation. I only saw the Person of Interest pilot, but I’m curious to give it another look to at least check out his character. I’m not a huge procedural fan, so its style isn’t that exciting.
