Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 April 24

Last week we had plenty of time travel shenanigans, and it looks like this week is going to be no different as Riverdale gets into the ‘dig up the past’ action.  Better Call Saul has Nacho questioning loyalties.  Superman isn’t in the past, but into a Bizarro other world.  Naomi also digs into the past, but doesn’t seem to be actually going there.  The Flash has a new rogue.  The Blacklist’s task force gets high.  Moon Knight, Picard, Halo, Young Justice, and Outer Range all have new episodes, but don’t want to spoil us with descriptions.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 April 10

I hope you recovered from last week’s table from our site’s favorite Jovial Disciple, but there isn’t much information to give you this week.  Riverdale’s announces plans to get rid of its gangs.  Robot Chicken ends its season in typical Robot Chicken fashion.  The Flash and Chester work on the problem while Caitlin makes things worse.  The Blacklist’s task force is shaken when one of them actually is subject to the laws they enforce.  We also have The Good Doctor going to a potluck, but otherwise Moon Knight, Picard, Young Justice, and Halo give us episodes they want us to go into blind.

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

Robot Chicken visits the Mayo Clinic.  During Superman’s absence, Lois and Lana grow closer, as Chloe Sullivan becomes more entangled with Ally Allston’s cult. Joe Pesci makes a guest appearance as a mysterious new student at Smallville High. Will Sarah be enticed by his charms? The Flash raises a ruckus at a karaoke bar in Hawaii.  The Blacklist searches for people in the entertainment industry believed to be affiliated with communism. Picard, still stranded in 2024, stops at a Starbucks and realizes he’s in the wrong show. Moon Knight drops his pants. The cast of Riverdale recovers from a recent orgy.

Super Friends drops on Amazon Prime. This is not a revisiting of the 70s series, but an animated take on the classic 90s sitcom, in which the six superficially charming New Yorkers develop superpowers and use the Central Perk as the base for their crime-fighting operations.

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

Is it me, or do we have less to watch this week?  It could be because I am so behind I am not noticing the new things that need to be added, so always feel free to suggest something in the comments.  We do have eight new episodes of The Witcher, which my eldest daughter and wife have been eagerly anticipating.  Riverdale will have its 100th episode.  Hawkeye gives us the penultimate episode.  The Wheel of Time’s revolutions gives us revelations.  Young Justice and Star Trek: Discovery are fuzzy on the details, but The Expanse wasn’t this week, telling us about the Rocinante being the linchpin for the war.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 December 5

There are a lot of old favorites returning this week, but first Doctor Who’s Season of Flux comes to a close.  The Flash’s event season continues, and I admit I hadn’t quite realized it was an event season until this description, and we get guest stars a plenty.  Guest stars continue to show up, as Riverdale is visited by a fan favorite Netflix witch.  The Wheel of Time has multiple faceoffs.  The Blacklist is the only other show to give us a description, telling us about an old crime family in therapy.  Hawkeye and Discovery also have new episodes, which don’t need descriptions to get me interested in them.  Adding to the list of description-less shows I am thrilled to watch, The Expanse returns for season six.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 November 21

A joyous (American) Thanksgiving to all our Bureaucrats this week.  We are thankful for you, dear readers.  I am also personally thankful for you patience and forgiving nature when I miss shows we should be letting you know about.  For example, last week Marvel’s Hit-Monkey first season dropped, and the live action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop (which I have already mainlined and finished.)  Newly appearing this week is the second half of Masters of the Universe: Revelation, and the first two episodes of Marvel’s new Hawkeye series, set with a winter holiday theme.  Our episodic entries this week, The Doctor (Who) visits 1967 and The Village of the Angels.  The Doctor (Good) visits wedding venues.  The Flash visits Black Lightning.  The Legends visit 1940s Seattle (and WWII.)  Batwoman is thematically relevant to the holiday as she has to mediate a Bat-family dispute.  Over on Riverdale (in Rivervale) we are visited by a vengeful spirit from their folklore.  Star Trek: Discovery doesn’t offer us a description, but be sure to read last week’s review to get an idea of where this week’s will (boldly) go.

[ETA: The Wheel of Time, thanks Visionary_Coward!]

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 November 14

The new blood arrives, as Riverdale, The Flash, and Star Trek: Discovery all return to the table.  In Riverdale, the show shifts to Rivervale, which sounds like a soft reboot.  The Flash starts up it’s eighth season with an Armageddon sized bang.  Discovery joins Prodigy with a complete lack of information other than episode number.  The Doctor continue to explore a planet that seems to somehow be the source of time.  The Good Doctor steps up to make it clear it’s not about a Time Lord with an episode about one heart.  The Legends of Tomorrow show up somewhere new and unknown, and meet a god in the bathroom.  Batwoman does some gardening.  Blacklist has Dembe discovering the downsides of working for the FBI.  Foundation gives us their season finale.

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

Welcome to “Spooky Season”!  As the Bureau begins out October Reviews, our shows do not take any time off, so you’ll have it squeeze those movies in where you can.  Evil gets into your brain this week.  Chapelwaite is grieving.  Per a good suggestion, Y: The Last Man joins the BBTT, but the title informing me that our favorite multi-genre muscian had passed away distracted me from the summary of political intrigue.  The Good Doctor plans for a wedding as the hospital staff shakes up.  Stargirl takes a regret-filled trip to the past, while Supergirl searches for magical totems as Lena gets witchy.  What If will conitue last week’s episode, but gives us not advanced notice.  Doom Patrol assists Madame Rouge.  The Queen speaks on See.  In Foundation, the Empire argues with himself.  American Horror Story, Titans, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and the Boys speciall all are also on the table, but didn’t give us any descriptions, so they don’t get mentioned.
