Well, here’s a little bit of TV news while I am still busy taking care of family bidness: Fall TV begins in about two weeks. (Technically, Dancing with the Stars returns next week, but who cares, and also, fuck right off, Sean Spicer.) But I’ve collected the return and premiere dates for everything in this handy gallery over at Chron.com, so that you can start planning your schedule now.
While we wait for September 23, be sure to vote in my hate blog poll. Emergence and Evil are still battling it out and last I checked, the difference was all of two votes. Vote now (and for the next 14 days) or forever hold your peace.
Take Our PollAnd now, for being so patient, here’s your dose of cute for the day, two dogs who have won both of the Best Acting in a Lead Role Oscars:
Best Actress:
Good boy dislikes his nails being trimmed. But the theatrics. Dead!
