Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 July 18

Looking for more remakes of favorites from your childhood?  We have the power, as Masters of the Universe’s first half of the first season drop this week.  They join SurrealEstate as new shows on the table. (Be sure to catch the Bureau’s review!)  Dependable Classics such as the Legends, who looks for magic in the Spanish Civil War, The Flash, who finish their two parter with more speedsters than you asked for, Superman and Lois, who Superman takes a business meeting.  Also, Evil raises some evil dead.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 July 11

I hope the warm weather means more enjoyment for everyone and not being Dangerously Cooked because you went for a walk outside.  While you’re staying in, watch out for elevators.  That’s not a horror-scope, Evil is targeting one this week.  The Legends are celebrating a birthday, (my like my daughter Majel), and Flash gets shocked with a new son.  Lois and her lover from another cosmos search for the super-husband that abandoned them last episode.  We also get the season (and likely, series) finale of Loki.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 July 4

To the Canadians, happy Canada 🇨🇦 Day and to the Americans, happy Independence 🇺🇸 Day!  We should get Mexico to move their day out of September to the second or the third and have a North America Day on the other. I hope you have plans, because there isn’t a lot of television to watch, as The Flash gives us a John Diggle crossover, and Evil, Loki, The Bad Batch, and My Hero Academia all forgo the descriptions to make you watch the episodes to see what the fireworks are.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 June 27

We have only six entries in the table today, which is larger than our normal summer postings.  Despite Cutting down a bit, The Legends with their visit the the old west and The Flash and his army of Godspeeds (the white suited Flash) wave goodbye to Batwoman for her “upending” season finale.  Evil (the show) sends us an angel.  Loki and the Bad Batch round out our list, but as usually expect us to watch without any synopses.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 June 20

Happy Father’s Day to all applicable Bureaucrats, as we start our television week with the return of Evil.  (Not the concept, the show.)  I am all of keeping some mystery is the episodes, but the complete lack of description makes it difficult for those of us compiling a television table.  You can be deceptively condensed, even a single sentence works, as Superman and Lois’s title is longer than its vague tease about Morgan Edge.  Father’s day must have everyone feeling nostalgic, as the Legends attempt to erase the season, Batwoman attempts to return to last season’s star, and The Flash returns to past villains.  Also, The Blacklist gives us another episode after I thought the season had wrapped.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 June 13

It’s a week for Deceptive Covers, as The Legends tease an episode about chess with the title, but the episode description seems pretty run of the mill.  Batwoman teases a regeneration, but only battles classic villains.  Flash teases a lot of secrets, but instead unmasks everyone.  Superman and Lois suggests missing mothers, but they’re all there and arguing with their kids.  Blacklist gives us a season finale, and suggests to reveal everything about the stars.  Loki, Handmaid, Bad Batch, and My Hero Academia all have new episodes, but doesn’t give us any descriptions.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 June 7

If you didn’t get enough comics on your breakroom television, I have good news for you! Not only Did CW come back, bringing us a Constantine episode, Batwoman focuses on Luke Fox’s story, The Flash bids farewell to a series regular from the beginning, and Superman and Lois figure out why their show’s big bad is in Smallville in the first place, but Marvel gives us a time-hopping, What If…? styled story centered around the villain that was so popular he gets to resurrect a few times and become a hero, Loki!  In other stores, we get The Good Doctor’s season finale in Guatemala, the Handmaid’s penultimate episode, and some cartoons.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 May 30

The CW takes a break this week, but before you reach for Different Content, Lucifer is still finishing his fifth season, and Superman and Lois continues this new phase of Superman’s life where he just supports his family while saving the world.  The Good Doctor starts the season finale, and we travel to Guatemala.  The Handmaid welcomes familiar a new handmaid.  The band is back together on Blacklist dealing with the monster they created while squabbling.  I hope everyone can enjoy the unofficial start to summer that is Memorial Day (in America) and have some some other fun to offset the light television schedule!

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 May 23

A few of our shows have taken the week off, which would make it seem like there is less to watch, but the Details Carry an infernal difference as Lucifer Season 5’s second half drops.  The Legends also visit JFK, Black Lightning brings its show to a close, the Flash finishes last week’s two parter, Superman and Lois help train their son.  If you enjoyed Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. last week, Robot Chicken has an Archie Comic special for you.  The Handmaid takes her tale home.  The Good Doctor goes off camping.  The Blacklist hires a transporter.  If you need something different, Solos drops some big name talent in a new Anthology series.

As it would be a Direct Contradiction to their timeline, Supergirl is off the table this week so that Superman & Lois can step in to delve into their family drama.  The Legends also bring the drama as they join a reality-TV singing show.  Batwoman fights those suffering from drug addiction.  Black Lightning exposes his weakness.  The Flash leaves us on a cliffhanger that seems to imply cast changes for next season.

If DC isn’t your kinda thing (and judging from the references on DC’s shows, it’s not their thing, either) Marvel does have a release this week, with Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K.  This is the show about the giant head in a chair, maybe in the style of (and by the folks who made) Robot Chicken.  There’s a lot of names associated with it, but I think it’s a toss up whether this will be a hit or just another on AIM’s blunders.

In more adult fare, The Nevers gibes us their season finale, revealing True’s back story.  The Good Doctor has Claire meeting her idol.  The Handmaid takes a vow.  The Blacklist might actually reveal some background info, unless the FBI can stop an assassin coming for Liz.

[Edited to add] The Underground Railroad and The Bad Batch have been added.  Be sure to comment when I miss a show, I won’t know something is out unless it’s already in my radar.
