TV Tapas: News Anchor’s Story Is Too Good to Be True

News Anchor’s Story Is Too Good to Be Tr)ue (“The Tonight Show”

Random Thoughts…

  • Here was how I watched TV on Sunday night. I tuned into WWE’s “Money in the Bank” Pay Per View from 8p-9p. Then I switched over and watched “Game of Thrones” until 10p. From there I switched over to ABC to catch the end of the NBA Championship. After that I watched the rest of the WWE Pay Per View. Finally, I watched “Silicon Valley” and “Veep.” It was a big night.
  • Speaking of “Game of Thrones,” (Spoiler Alert): How weird was it to see a villain get actual comeuppance from a person they wronged?
  • Sorry “ELeague,” I’m not ready to watch video games on TV yet.
  • The wife and I caught “Finding Dory” this weekend. I swear Pixar just exists to make me cry.
