Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 September 19

Between last year’s COVID affected production and release schedules and the move to streaming from broadcast seasons, I am not sure that fall premiers and summer re-runs are still a thing.  A John Diggle Cameo joins us for Supergirl’s twelfth episode focuses on a socially just Guardian, but Stargirl is back at episode seven, giving fallout from Yolanda’s remorse.  The stream side was staggared as well as Titan’s take their ninth episode with some soul, but we are just getting the first three episodes of Doom Patrol’s third season.  Over on Evil, someone is afraid of cracking some eggs.  Chapelwaite gets committed.  What If still doesn’t give us advanced knowledge of which changes we will get to see, but there’s a Multiversal Avengers theory out there, as well as a Thor-centric episode still in the works.  Riverdale sends Jughead and Betty season for missing friends.  American Horror Story offs the Gardners.  On See, the family has a royal dinner party.

Does the same old, same old make you a Depressed Consumer of television?  Well, I have a devil of a great announcement, as both Robot Chicken and Lucifer return to give you something different to watch, and The Boys has another “News” special.  Also, if the infernal puns about Lucifer episodes bother you, this is the final season so those should be going away too!  Evil also gives us an cranial anatomy lesson, and American Horror Story examines their town’s history.  If you aren’t into the darkness, you can enjoy some animation on Star Trek: Lower Decks, Miraculous, My Hero Acadamia, and What If, which appears to be bringing the first half of the show together.  Staying with the comics, The Legends end their season basedon a wacky plan from the teams alternative pharmacist, Stargirl hits some stormy weather, Supergirl fights urban renewal, and the Titans explore democracy.  In Riverdale, everyone’s favorite cat themed musicians return.  In See find true north.  SurrealEstate has a wedding.

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 March 28

At first, I was surprised to see so many new titles, but I think we actually end up with a Decreased Count.  Superman takes the week off to give room for his cousin Supergirl to start her sixth season.  Batwoman admitted that Kate is gone, and starts picking up the pieces.  Pennyworth doesn’t give us a description, but the impending execution implied by the title makes it forgivable, and the Flash faces fears fostered by his foe.  Zoey and her Extraordinary Playlist return, exploring her memory.  The Good Doctor has Claire getting a visit from her deadbeat dad.  On Riverdale, Archie is visited by his former Army general.  The Falcon and the Winter Soldier doesn’t offer us a description either, but if the implications from last week’s episode are to be believed, we will pay a visit to an MCU antagonist.  Red works against his Task Force when they go for one of his contacts.
