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

Do you like drawing?  We have two more animated shows, but so far, no descriptions for me to comment on.  DuckTales returns, as does the new season of Big Hero 6, and Lower Decks gives us the another voyage into the minutia of Star Trek.  Raised by Wolves gives us two new episodes, the Bureau 42 reviews are your best source for that show’s information.  The Boys can show us the aftermath of a super “throw-down” from last week.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 September 13

The slow summer schedule slides on, offering us Wolves, ensigns of the Lower Decks, and the Boys, but none of which offer us any descriptions.  Got anything you recently binged on you want to share with the Bureau?

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 September 6

So, did you enjoy The Boys first three episodes?  Are the Lower Deck ensigns making you laugh?  If not, there is bad news; that’s all this week.  Anyone watching anything else?

[Edit to add:] Raised by Wolves was added.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 August 30

It’s the big season finale for Star Trek’s Lower Decks, as well as for The Muppets.  If kid friendly (or at least, animated) isn’t your bag, The Boys are back in town for their second season.  Otherwise, it’s a quiet week for the Breakroom television, to help us all focus on the new school year starting back up, since odds are good it is happening at home.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 August 23

So, this week, there is a new Trek and Mor– err.. Star Trek: Lower Decks and some more Muppets.  Presumably nobody wanted to compete with last week’s Lucifer drop, so nothing was coming out this week.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 August 16

It’s a good thing all of those shows ended last week, it saves room for some animated offerings, as Spider-Man goes up against Rhino, the Lower Decks crew gets into some time travel hijinks, and the Muppets oversleep.  If you are looking for something a bit more traditional on the Breakroom Television, be sure to catch part one of Lucifer’s fifth season, as his brother shows up to wreck everything Lucifer has enjoyed.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 August 9

Was last week’s premier of Star Trek: Lower Decks just too much for you?  Do you need some endings to balance out the new series?  Well, there is some good news for you!  Stargirl finishes her season battle the Injustice Society of America, Perry Mason closes the case on his season, and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. wrap up seven seasons of Marvel Cinematic action on television.  What does that leave?  Well, you can watch some more animated Trek comedy as Lower Decks fight some Klingons and the Muppets contend with one of the most powerful forces on earth: Disney Legal.

Star Trek: Lower Decks Review: “Second Contact”

For the second time in its long history, Star Trek is represented by reruns and a new animated show. The last time that happened, there’d only been one series, and the limited animated incarnation used original cast voices and attempted to stay true to the spirit of its inspiration.

This time, they’re going for cheap laughs, in a cartoon that tries to take a humorous, frequently raunchy look at the Federation, as seen from the perspective of its less-heroic members.

Will it fly?
