“Shark Tank” Star Loses It, Curses Out Contestant (ABC)

Random Thoughts…

  • Awww…my heart…the end of last night’s “Game of Thrones” was just too much. I’ll never go through a doorway the same way again.
  • I had to watch the Britney Spears performance at the Billboard Music Awards a few times to get over my grief.
  • Loving “Preacher.” Get in on this one early.
  • I might be done with “Silicon Valley.”  Richard is just too stupid.

Things Get Heated During a Debate on “The View” (ABC)

Random Thoughts…

  • Attention “Orphan Black” fans: Stay away from the Internet if you have not watched last night’s episode yet. Seriously.
  • Actually, I’m going to issue a similar warning to “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Blacklist” fans. Quite a night last night.
  • I watched a lot of trailers during this week’s Upfronts and the one that has me the most psyched is “Designated Survivor.” Check it out.
  • Talked to the new “Survivor” champion yesterday morning and she shed some light on her contentious Tribal run-in with Neal.

TV Tapas: Cute Kid Has Harsh Words for Donald Trump, ‘Survivor’ Finale, and More

Cute Kid Has Harsh Words for Donald Trump (“The Late Show”)

Random Thoughts…

  • Checked out the Turner Upfronts yesterday and the William-Shakespeare-as-a-young-man drama “Will” looks like a good time despite the unoriginal name.
  • A lot of people upset with last night’s “Survivor” winner.  But it doesn’t have to be about who made bigger moves, a good social game can go a long way.
  • A marriage and a death on “Empire” last night. Gotta love finale season!
  • I still say ‘Blackish’ is the best comedy on TV today. Last night’s ’70s was another awesome feather in their cap.

Random Thoughts…

  • Caught the NBC Upfronts in New York yesterday, and I’m really looking forward to “Timeless.” As in, I need my own time machine to jump to this fall to watch it.
  • FOX had a presentation too and I think the new high-tech cop show “APB” looked really cool. Between that and their girl-group show “Star,” they could have a good year.
  • In other news, I have no fingernails on either hand due to how nervous I was about the “Castle” finale.
