Covid-19 has turned every reality show in 2020 into the first hour of The Birds.
Star Trek: Discovery boldly goes where Star Trek has gone before.
I sincerely hope production designers on The Walking Dead series are paid handsomely and writers the bare minimum.
How long have the opening titles of reality television been like novelty backwards chronology episodes of 90s shows?
I predict Timothy Olyphant will become the Bart Maverick of The Mandalorian.
My AT & T U-Verse lies to me like Trump to his base.
I see your Werner Herzog and I raise you David Cronenberg.

Geico sells insurance and condones fraud.
The dialogue in the edited-for-TV version of Scream about The Exorcist being edited-for-TV should have been edited-for-TV.
B is only 3 and can already identify characters on TV shows by their story functions. For example, Fred from Scooby-Doo is “We’ll go this way, you go that way.”

I’d Ask The Storybots if there is a better example of their kind of show in the whole of television. It’d be a short episode.
I replied “Yes” to Netflix’s question about whether I was enjoying Star Trek: Enterprise because there was no option listed for “Not really but I need to watch this for completism’s sake.”

I’m a little perturbed that the HBO Max algorithm can’t see the difference between Scooby-Doo and The Dead Don’t Die.
