Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
PLEASE RENEW DEPARTMENT Q, NETFLIX. DO IT ALREADY. And if you’re a fan of crime dramas, snarky detectives, Matthew Goode, or all of the above, GO WATCH IT THIS WEEKEND.

Guy Richie isn’t making the Road House sequel after all.
The New York Times has discovered Tiny Chef.
Hey, if you’re in London, there’s a whole immersive experience where Dexter chases you.
Anthony Anderson’s Mama takes over ABC in this bit, and honestly, I’d be STOKED if she were the Golden Bachelorette (starts at about the 4 minute mark):
Cracked has a dark theory that Lucy Ricardo was the daughter of a powerful mobster and had to go into the Witness Protection Program, and … it kinda makes sense?
Poor American Idol winner Scott McCreery lost both of his grandmothers on the same day.
Congratulations to Becca Tilley and Hayley Kiyoko!
