Random Thoughts…

  • Caught the first half of “Roots” last night and was blown away. So hard to watch.
  • “Game of Thrones” hit the brakes to give us a bit of a breather. But, now that that’s done, I want them to fight over Winterfell!
  • The wife and I have decided on Season 1 of “Mr. Robot” for our first summer binge.
  • “American Ninja Warrior” might be the best summer show. Since failure is the norm, you really get excited when they succeed.

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.

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.

  • 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.
