I also have to mention... "Atlanta", on FX, is a great show. This week's episode was hysterical. 'Felon Degeneres' had me rolling!

Agree totally. The spoof episode with the round table feminist and Paper Boi was f-ing hilarious. Especially the faux commercials!!!!

There's some show called "Pure Genius" premiering this coming week.

Ads they're running make it sound very pretentious and forced feel-good TV.

NBC gives Timeless a rather minor additional episode order.

Fox & Disney agree to provide additional channels to Hulu (including most of the ESPN package). No word yet on what this new premium package will cost to subscribers.

Damn. I love the show but I was hoping to only be "forced" to watch a half-season.

Watched the pilot. Not terrible, but pretty formulaic so far.

Yeah, I saw that last night.
A few stations have done this the past few days because of this crap.

Annoying as hell but thank god it's over and we only have to worry about the election the one night then my regular tv will continue. :p

Anyone watching Better Thing on FX? It's one of the best shows on TV I think. Louis CK produced/directed/written. Adlon is fantastic in it (and pretty damned hot too if I may add). The daughters in the show do a phenomenal job as well.

And yeah. Atlanta is just a great GREAT show. Donald Glover really is some sort of genius it seems. FX is just killing it this season.

I couldn't get past the first episode of Better Things.

What the....... The Good Place returns in January? That's a hell of a long "fall finale."

So...Pure Genius...why is the main "super geek" character basically a clone of Walter OBrien from Scorpion?

Because Scorpion is a ratings producer? lol. When one show is successful, they just make more clones. Look at Chicago PD, Chicago Fire and now Chicago Med. or the CSI franchise. Or the NCIS franchise. ;)

Yeah, but those are all spin-off shows from one main show. I get that...BUT, both shows are on CBS, so maybe that's it...

Better Things is indeed good and I started watching Atlanta after the invisible car clip went viral.

Too bad about Longmire. With that lead time though, they should be able to wrap up the entire story in a nice red bow.
