The biggest TV news of the day is that Paul Reiser is threatening to reboot Mad About You. Which, great? I mean, it was a perfectly serviceable sitcom in its day, but is anyone actually clamoring for this? I can think of 10 NBC sitcoms off the top of my head I’d rather see come back than Mad About You, but I guess it’s time to let go of my dream of It’s Your Move ever returning.
Speaking of sitcoms I’d rather see return than Mad About You, over the holiday a photoshopped photo of that twit Tomi Lahren popped up where she blamed Obama for creating Festivus. It wasn’t real, but George Costanza still weighed in:
For the thousandth time, Andy and Anderson never dated.
Grope Report
The Miss America Organization was rocked by a huge scandal in which it was revealed that its CEO and many board members wrote disgusting and horribly sexist things about the contestants, particularly former Miss Americas. As a result, CEO Sam Haskell was suspended — and needs to be fired — and at least three other board members have stepped down.
A Trump supporter accused Corey Lewandowski of slapping her on the ass at a holiday party, and has pressed charges.
The New York Times published a report looking into the culture of sexual harassment at Vice Media, and it’s bad. Very bad.

I’m a little late getting around to it, but we finished The Exorcist last night and it just makes me so sad that people aren’t watching this great show. I know it’s doomed, but my wish (that I understand isn’t going to happen) is that Fox gives it one more 10 episode season to wrap up the story.
