Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 August 22

As the schools start back up, I Doubt Classroom televisions will be as entertaining as the Bureau’s Breakroom.  This week, the Legends deal with babies, Stargirl deals with siblings, Supergirl makes a triumphant return after her more popular cousin’s season ends, and Titans bring someone back from the dead.  What If examines what would have happened if the more popular Odin son was banished to Earth.  Riverdale  remakes a Tarantino film.  American Horror Story returns for Double Feature.  See also returns to show off how dystopic a world where you can’t see Jason Momoa’s muscles would be.  If you need to get away from that bleak future, Star Trek Lower Decks gives us a comedic alternative.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 August 15

Are you Definitely Caught up from last week?  This week is a tad bit lighter, but not by much.  First, the Legends stay in for a bottle episode, Stargirl actually uses a character named Richard Switft, Superman and Lois confront their worst nightmare, and the Titans meet Blackfire.  If you prefer to visit the MCU, you’ll have to take a detour into the universe where T’Challa is Star Lord.  In Riverdale, Hiram exposites all over Reggie.  Star Trek’s Lower Decks speak in metaphors.  SurrealEstate counts down from six as house guests are murdered.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 August 8

Did you rest up the last two weeks?  We have plenty of new shows for you to watch!  First, Don’t Count out the shows from the the house that Kent built, as Kent visits his high school sweetheart while his son gets close with his wife’s alternate-universe husband.  The Legends go bowling.  Stargirl and Titans both start their next seasons, while copes with being being a golden age superhero while being in school.  The Titans don’t give us descriptions for their first three episodes, but based on the titles, we get either Batgirl or Oracle, Red Hood, and Hank and Dove’s return.  If CW shows returning is your thing, Riverdale’s got your back with a post-prison break roundup.  If you prefer the other side of the of the Comic universes, Marvel takes its Cinematic Universe and and tweaks it, starting the animated What If story with Peggy Carter became Captain America.  If you prefer to stay away from the comics entirely, but still want a new season, Lower Deck’s brings us animated, comedic Star Trek.  There’s new episodes of Miraculous, Bad Batch, and My Hero Academia.  Finally, if you like your shows coming out in last decade’s style, there’s SurrealEstate’s visit to a rapper’s studio.  (Don’t forget last week’s review!)

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 April 3

This week, the breakroom seems to be taking a break from super-heroes, as only The Flash gives us a heads up on Frost taking on Black Flame and Iris taking on child abandonment.  Moon Knight may fall into that category, but he is secretive about the episode.  So is Young Justice, and they are animated.  If you want to stick with comics, Riverdale’s characters promise to be less horrible.  Robot Chicken delves into comics, as Bruce deals with his parent’s murder being commercialized.  The Good Doctor investigates a Biohacker.  Star Trek: Picard is joined in space by Halo, but neither give us any episode details.  The Blacklist’s subplot about blackmail overlaps with their episode plot.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 January 3

2021 Annual Premier!

The schedule looks different this week, but Discovery has the actual season finale this week, and Expanse keeps us out in space a bit more.  If that makes you feel a bit agoraphobic and want to enjoy the cramped, locked up feeling, there’s good news as David Tennant and Michael Sheen return for season 2 of Staged.  If you just have a song in your heart, Zoey also returns.  I’m still in hell with Sabrina, and then I intend to get a kick out of Cobra Kai.

Edited to add: The Watch starts, and per visionary_coward‘s recommendation, it is added below.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 December 27

2020 Annual Finale!

The year is going out with a different looking line up, first, we have our regular series, with Pennyworth giving us a double helping of magic and Stormclouds.  The Expense gives no description, but if you’ve been watching, you know which disaster is going to be foremost on their minds.  Additionally, Discovery rounds out their third season, having discovered the future’s inciting incident cause, then losing everything.

We have two specials to start the new year, one as The Doctor saves earth from The Daleks, and one from Mrs Brown’s flashbacks.  If that’s not enough, we also have the next big episode dumps of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina to finish out the chilling 2020, and Cobra Kai to kick off 2021!

Hoping 2020 didn’t destroy anything you love, and hoping that 2021 is better for all of us, Happy New Year!

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 December 20

Penultimate Update for the year!

With the big holiday happening this week, you’d expect there would be less shows to watch, but the sparse releases to because of the pandemic means there are actually more shows to watch thanks to a Holiday Special from two non-genre shows, Call the Midwife and Mrs. Brown’s Boys.  The one you probably are waiting on will be here next week, but The Fifth Doctor will be visiting the Midwives for their holiday special if you can’t wait.  As for our normal shows, Lyra and Will have their season finale on His Dark Materials as the complete cast converges at Cittàgazze.  On Pennyworth, our butler’s trip to America finds a magical delay.  The Expanse doesn’t tell us what’s happening, and neither does Star Trek, but we know Mrs. Brown’s Boys are going to be discussing the 2020 lockdown.

From everyone at the Bureau, we want to wish everyone a happy Life Day and every other holiday you celebrate!
