I missed most of the dog show yesterday for cooking reasons, so this will have to suffice.

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY.
Netflix tried to prepare for the deluge of Stranger Things viewers on Wednesday. They failed.
There certainly have to be other options out there.
We Americans love us some Irwins.
I mean, this is just sound advice, no matter what you’re watching:
Netflix will actually release Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein on physical media, which they NEVER do.
Seth Meyers’ kids are adorable, but he needs to watch out for that Addie.
OK, KJ Apa … I mean, “Mr. Fantasy.”
JD and Elliot aren’t wearing their wedding rings in the Scrubs teaser, apparently. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!??
Quentin Tarantino has some very strong feelings about The Hunger Games blatantly ripping off Battle Royale (which it totally does).
Bari Weiss is already licking her chops over the opportunity to ruin CNN.
Hackers hijacked a Houston ESPN radio station last Sunday.
I learned this information about Jenny McCarthy’s health issues completely against my will. Click at your own risk. I guess I’m glad you’re feeling better, you vax-denying lunatic?
My heart goes out to TikTok star and mac and cheese genius Tini Younger and her husband, Antoine.
