“A Lannister always pays his debts,” is one of “Game of Thrones” most popular sayings. And now that we’ve enjoyed the epic awesomeness of Season 6, we too must pay with 42 weeks of a “Game of Thrones”-free existence.
…sigh…
Sorry, I’m not dealing with the upcoming season finale very well.
Fortunately, there’s still tons of TV to binge-watch this summer. Here are some of our faves…
 |
 |
1. –“Game of Thrones”: One of the biggest and best shows of this generation ends its sixth season on Sunday the 26th. Make sure you’re caught up before the lemon cake hits the fan during the finale.
|
2. – “Veep”: Who will be the President of the United States when this season’s epic storyline wraps up? |
 |
 |
3. – “Silicon Valley”: The season has turned around a little bit after a weird middle. Here’s hoping for a strong finish.
|
4. – “Ray Donovan”: Showtime’s summer hit returns Sunday the 26th. Catch up on the previous seasons online and watch the season 4 finale early.
|
 |
 |
| 5. – “Odd Mom Out”: – Not only do we have all of last season and this season’s premiere, but we also have the next two episodes. What ’em early! |
6. – “Outlander”: Why aren’t more people talking about the second season of “Outlander”? I think it’s just as strong as the first.

Fallon’s ‘Donald Trump’ Picks a Running Mate (‘The Tonight Show’)
Random Thoughts…
- Finally got around to watching the premiere of TBS’s comedy “Wrecked” last night. I dug the “Lost” vibe, but the jokes weren’t landing for me. (No pun intended) I’ll give it another shot.
- If I was Tom Brady, I would have phoned into last night’s Ben Affleck/Bill Simmons love fest on “Any Given Wednesday” and asked them to cool it a bit. That, or I would’ve swam in my money.
- Last night’s rocket challenge on “Big Brother” was a little…inappropriate…for younger viewers.

James Corden Is Not a Fan of Roller Coasters (‘The Late Late Show’)
Random Thoughts…
- “American Ninja Warrior” got a little too real last night when we learned that Kacy and her boyfriend had broken up. What’s worse is I really wanted to know why.

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.
