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 2020 August 2

The list of new shows shortens, but it would have been a feat of dedication to finish the Umbrella Academy already.  Perry Mason continues his deeper investigation into the churches extra investments, while Stargirl goes on the run from the villains.  It’s a Brand New Day, and the sun is high on SHIELD, while the Doom Patrol gets into candle making.  Once you’re done with that, you can watch a Muppet version of a put-upon SysAdmin deal with … well, muppets.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 July 26

Another summer week, another light list.  Perry Mason actually starts being a lawyer this week.  Stargirl gets to discover more about her school’s janitor, while the Doom Patrol tackles their daddy issues.  The Agents return to the eighties after their bottle episode last week.  If that wasn’t enough Comics for you this week, Netflix has stashed something away for just such a rainy day: The Umbrella Academy drops season two on Friday!  If you were just looking for cheap laughs, Robot Chicken drops a few episodes to end their season.

[Edit to add:] Muppets Now comes out this week.  Is that the Genre enough that it should be included here for Bureau 42?  It certainly is no less so appropriate than Perry Mason, so it is included.  As always, feel free to debate and comment if something should not be added or if something good is being missed.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 July 12

The summer slump stretches on, but we aren’t quite out of Debutantes and Conspirators yet, as Stargirl fights the Injustice Society of America’s NextGen, and the Doom Patrol takes up space.  Then, for more comic book action, the Agents focus on Yo-Yo’s past as they yo-yo through time.  Maybe they’ll hit the 1930s and see Perry Mason fight with his team while Sister Orphan Black claims she can resurrect a baby.
