Merry Christmas, TV nerds!

It’s Friday and it is Christmas, and I do so hope you are having a lovely day, whether you celebrate or not. I’ve shared my sappy holiday platitudes here, so I’ll keep this brief: 2020 is almost over — only a week left to go — and hopefully, 2021 will be at least a bit easier. It’s not a lot to ask.

Take care, stay safe, and we’ll reconvene on Monday with some TV news and probably a little politics because we’re not quite out of the woods just yet. Stay safe and binge some good TV.
