The time Adam Scott was bullied by the kids on ‘Boy Meets World’

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

So, first of all, I had no idea that Adam Scott was on Boy Meets World — apparently, he appeared in four epsiodes over seasons two and three. But his experience wasn’t great, as he expressed to his former co-stars Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong, and Will Friedle on their podcast, Pod Meets World. According to Scott, after filming a scene, he went to give Strong a high-five and a hug, only to have Strong shove him and run away from him. Scott also claims that he heard that Fishel told people that no one on the show liked him. Fishel and Strong were shocked by both stories and (sorta) denied them, but it clearly stuck with Scott.

Pamela Anderson calls the team behind Pam & Tommy “assholes,” says that she didn’t watch the series, and that Tommy sent her a note about the show reading, “Don’t let this hurt you like it did the first time.”

Former President Blowhard has threatened to drop all association with AT&T and DirecTV unless they reinstate Newsmax. Now, I have no idea what kind of “association” he has with them — is he going to drop them as his cell phone carrier? — but I doubt they are shaking in their boots.

Speaking of that human garbage fire, Facebook is letting him back on their platforms. This will definitely end well.

In honor of today’s premiere of Poker Face, the Rian Johnson/Natasha Lyonne mystery series, you can call 1-866-Noblsht and get advice from the lead character Charlie Cale.

This story is behind a paywall, just FYI, but apparently, all that hate-watching is making Velma a hit. There will definitely be a season two.

Oh, there will be a second season of The Last of Us, trust.

Here are a bunch of network shows that are probably on the cusp of cancelation. (That said, I don’t think Blue Bloods is going anywhere, not even after 13 seasons.)

I don’t know, do we even need the Razzies?

A&W Restaurants put out a tweet spoofing the M&M announcement and Fox News managed to find a way to get angry about it, calling it “woke police cancel culture.” LOL, they’re the best.

Fox Business responded to this news by lamenting the "woke police cancel culture" https://t.co/qQVR7BLeiT pic.twitter.com/BlJ4ZVuJtA
