Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
There was a Parks and Rec reunion on the strike this weekend, and the show’s biggest star showed up:

Parks cast, writers, producers, crew and guest stars came out to support SAG/AFTRA and the WGA in their fight for a fair deal. We also had the cutest lil' horse to ever walk a picket line. #SAGAFTRAstrong #WGA #ParksAndRec #lilSebastian pic.twitter.com/sGvLyyinz1

Meanwhile, Stephen Amell also made his way to the strike lines after saying a bunch of dumb shit about the strike. He clearly got his ass handed to him by his P.R. team.
So how long is this strike going to last already? Mid-August is always the low point for television, but this summer feels particularly dire knowing that we will be running out of scripted material soon if something doesn’t break this strike already. Some are hopeful that with talks resuming between WGA and AMPTP and the threat from reality stars and well as Marvel’s VFX workers to unionize, the pressure might finally be on the studios to make some concessions. But according to this piece, a number of insiders don’t see anything happening until October at the earliest.
Vanna White was temporarily replaced as the letter-spinner on Wheel of Fortune, but it reportedly has nothing to do with her ongoing contract negotiations, and everything to do with her catching COVID.
Idina Menzel had her feelings hurt by playing Lea Michele’s mom on Glee because she thought she was too young to do so, but I’m struggling to feel sorry for her here. She was 39 when she first took the role, and Michele’s character was supposed to be in high school — 15 or 16 years old — so what’s the problem here? I mean, yes, Michele was in her 20s, but her character wasn’t. In short: Wah.
HOW ARE WE STILL HAVING TO TELL YOU IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2023 TO NOT DO BLACKFACE?
You’ve got to be a real asshole to have me out here rooting for Mark Fucking Zuckerberg.
Stay healthy, Andy Taylor! And fuck cancer.
Please do not go to Maui because you think you can help or because you found a great deal on airfare or hotels. Just send money. Unless you’re Oprah, in which case, you’re allowed to be there.
