MORE PLEASE.

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Those of you hoping for a second season of Lanterns are going to have to wait a minute for a decision (though it’s not sounding particularly promising).

Last Week Tonight‘s Buc-ee’s merchandise rip-off, Buc-Off, which raises money for Hunger Free America by challenging Buc-ee’s copyright, is, ironically enough, being ripped off by other people who are just out to make a buck. Don’t give grifters your money (the rip-offs also cost more than the “original” items from Last Week Tonight!); buy your authentic rip-off merch at Buc-Off.com and make sure your money goes to a good cause.

Some headlines make you want to just pluck out your own eyeballs.

Um, Natasha Lyonne? What’s going on, honey? Are you OK?

All of the major networks will rely on the AP’s vote-count data on Election Night. They will each make their own race calls, however.
