Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Thinking of everyone in Hawaii during these terrible floods.

My thoughts are also with everyone in a TSA line today, particularly here in Houston at IAH. I flew out of LGA last night — yes, that LGA — and it was … an experience.

Bridgerton has made it official: season five’s leads will be Francesca (Hannah Dodd) and Michaela (Masali Baduza), giving the show its first same-sex love story. Prepare for the complete freakout, both over the lesbian storyline and it not being Eloise’s season — oh wait, it’s already happening.

Production has begun in the U.K., but probably won’t return until 2028.

By the way: totally called this one in terms of who would be the lead. They are going to make everyone wait for Eloise’s story. At this point, it would genuinely be funny if they made everyone wait until the final season for her story.

You know who I wouldn’t shove off of his motorcycle, much less shove off of his motorcycle twice? Alan Ritchson.

MAGAites are SO MAD at this most recent episode of The Pitt thanks to an ICE storyline (which was written and filmed long before ICE was out here killing innocent Americans on the street).

Please do not threaten actors because they are not your preferred race. Actually, just don’t threaten actors, full stop.

Beauty in Black actor Xavier Smalls is apologizing for comparing LGBT folks to murderers and calling them “abominations” way back in … February.

Natalia Grace is suing Hulu and Disney for her portrayal in Good American Family.

Starz is laying off 7% of its employees.

Democratic senators are demanding that the FCC look into the foreign backing involved in Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. “Financing for Paramount Skydance’s WBD deal includes funding from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA). Paramount’s offer for WBD as of Dec. 1 included an aggregate of $24 billion from the Middle Eastern funds, per an SEC filing. Since then, the company has not disclosed how much the three funds are contributing toward its winning bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, which WBD’s board of directors accepted last month after Netflix opted to not counter Paramount’s $31/share offer.” I’m glad Democrats are calling attention to this; nothing will be done. 

Bari Weiss is shutting down CBS News Radio after nearly 100 years of operation. Heck of a job, Bari.

President Dingus has signed an executive order to prevent rival college football games from being played at the same time as the Army/Navy game, which is hardly the most offensive thing he’s ever done, but it does violate the First Amendment and is just one more example of the pro-militaristic authoritarian agitprop bullshit these guys get off on.

Nancy Guthrie remains missing.
