Couch Madness Round 2: ‘New Normal’

In honor of the NCAA tournament season, Give Me My Remote is bringing back our TV-centric bracket, pitting similarly titled episodes against each other: Couch Madness! (Credit for the excellent name goes fellow reporter Chris Hayner.)

The seeding is simple: rather than quality of the hour, we’re going by air date (with the oldest episode getting the #1 slot and the newest getting #8). With Peak TV, this will not include every single show that has used this title; rather, we picked a selection from what was available.

We’re now up to the second round, which will kick off on Monday, March 20 and end on Friday, March 24, with the final face-off starting Monday, March 27.

Last up? “New Normal.” Keep reading for the bracket, episode descriptions (from IMDB), and the poll. (For the other episodes competing, check out all the brackets here!)

CHICAGO P.D. (4): “With Voight suspended, Antonio takes charge of Intelligence to deal with overdoses of bad heroin, but Ruzek undermines his authority.”

vs.

NEW AMSTERDAM (8): “New Amsterdam is still reeling from the pandemic as a plane crash lands in the East River. When investigators come to interrogate the flight crew, Iggy fights against the clock to help the pilot uncover the truth. Max tracks down scarce medication after one of his own contracts COVID.”

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS (3): “It’s parent-teacher conferences and one little liar’s father sits face to face with the love of her life. Better believe that “A” has something to say about it.”

vs.

BLUE BLOODS (7): “Frank deals with a police captain who’s losing his grip over his precinct; Danny faces backlash after a tough call he made in the field; Erin weighs the consequences of a dangerous criminal’s release under new bail laws.”
