Couch Madness Final Round: ‘Countdown’

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 to 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 final round, with voting running from Monday, March 27 through Friday, March 31.

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

SLEEPY HOLLOW’s Ichabod Crane may have just learned he has a son, but soon viewers will get to meet the man who fathered Ichabod — a rep for the show has confirmed that former ALIAS star Victor Garber will guest star as Ichabod’s father.

According to TVLine (who was first to report the casting), Garber will appear in at least one episode.

I mean…SLEEPY HOLLOW is killing it with casting this year, right?
