All Other TV News
We’ve made it to the end of the 2020-2021 TV season (such as it was) and, as there always are, there have been casualties. The networks have canceled and ended 25 shows this season: some more memorable than others, some before they could even begin their new season (sorry, Stumptown). Which of the following shows that ended this season are you sad to say goodbye to?
Netflix is looking into getting into gaming, apparently. They’re also hosting “Geeked Week,” a virtual event that will share information about The Witcher, The Sandman, The Cuphead Show, The Umbrella Academy, Resident Evil, Sweet Tooth, and Cowboy Bebop.
Maybe former castmembers will be in the Dexter reboot? Who even knows at this point.
Considering they live in the biggest city in the country and have more men to choose from, it’s remarkable that the Real Housewives of New York are the worst about sharing men.
The Italians who won the Eurovision Song Contest are now taking drug tests after partying a little TOO hard. UPDATE: The drug test came up clean. Rock on, Maneskin!
Speaking of rock and rollers: Happy update to The Linda Lindas — they’ve got a record deal! 🤘
The BBC is still in turmoil over the Martin Bashir interview with Princess Diana. The BBC Board is going to investigate why Bashir was rehired in 2016, despite concerns over the interview, and they will review their editorial practices; the former head of the BBC at the time of the interview has stepped down as board chairman of the British National Gallery; and Bashir has said he’s sorry, but claims that the actual interview didn’t change anything and had nothing to do with Princess Diana’s death. Meanwhile, Michael Jackson’s family is claiming that Bashir also tricked Jackson into giving a damning interview, and claim that it contributed to his death.
President Biden has said that the Department of Justice’s seizure of journalists’ phone and email records is “absolutely, positively, it’s wrong. It’s simply, simply wrong,” and says that he won’t allow it to happen. Here’s how one of my two very stupid senators responded:
I thought he wasn't going to interfere with DOJ investigations. https://t.co/VuVd4qPRrX

I just assume that writers think that all of Texas looks like west Texas. Just like I’ve yet to see a TV show or movie get any aspect of drilling for oil correct. Im looking at you Armageddon!!!
I dunno. I can think of one Western movie where the heroes rode into Houston through a pass in the mountains behind them.
And there was a show about the Texas revolution that had Sam Houston’s headquarters in the mountains outside Victoria.
