Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

This is interesting: CBS made big news this week, announcing a new soap opera (the first new network soap opera since 1999 — I think?), The Gates. The question is, where will CBS fit it into their schedule? Is this bad news for The Talk?

Y’all, they’re making a sequel to one of the best (the best?) episodes of Black Mirror:

You can stream all 80 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy on Hulu now. (Fun fact: Grey’s Anatomy debuted during the same TV season as Lost.)

The Station 19 guys aren’t taking cancelation for an answer.

The Sunny guys know how the show will end … if it ever ends.

Well played, Disney+. Well played.

Max is offering a steep discount ahead of the NCAA Championship games, and existing and returning customers are eligible for this deal.

Gina Carano recently signed with new management and now she’s out here giving interviews where she’s like, “What? It was all a joke! You’re telling me that I can’t make racist, antisemitic, anti-trans, anti-vaccine comments without getting fired by a notoriously sensitive family-focused company? Doesn’t anyone have a sense of humor anymore?” Ma’am.

9-1-1‘s Rockmond Dunbar’s religious discrimination lawsuit for being fired for refusing to get the COVID vaccine is going to trial.

This is gross and we need to burn it all down. Or legislate it out of existence.

It me.

Y’all. When I say that this is my childhood … I’m a Goddamned mess right now:
