Aug 17, 2010 -- The CableFAX Show: Seth and Mike find that whether it's the Netflix-Epix deal or the Cable Hall of Fame, it always comes down to letters of the alphabet. Meanwhile, the TV Reject's 2nd place finish in the Battle of the Bands continues to invoke therapy-inducing angst as Seth and Mike desperately try to redeem themselves by showing footage from the LA Battle. And with the end of the summer TCA comes one inevitable result: Tchotchkes. Lotsa tchochtkes.
