Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 July 5

Well, while we are waiting out this surge of new pandemic cases, the television options Dwindle Continually.  We get the second half of Stargirl’s fight against the popular girl and the Doom Patrol gives us the finger.  (You caught the first three episode’s review, right?)  Blindspot gives us a double header to finish their season.  We also get two more episodes of Robot Chicken to watch some adults inappropriately play with their toys.  While your regressing through time, two of the Agents of SHIELD get trapped in the eighties with no sign of a phone booth.  Further back in the past, be sure to stop by the late thirties to visit Perry Mason as he breaks more laws to win their court case.  If that isn’t enough historically inspired fiction for you, head all the way back to the late 18th century and don’t throw away your shot.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 June 28

The summer shows continue, leaving it questionable how long we will have new content before the studios Corona-related shut-downs leave us begging for anything that isn’t a re-run.  Luckily, this is an age where almost the full total of classic sci-fi is available to catch up on while waiting this out.  In non-genre shows, Perry Mason has returned to the television screens, in a very HBO, not-family-friendly prequel to the first television legal drama.  In his second episode, we get finally get some of Orphan Black’s Tatiana.  This is set in the 1930s, which makes it easy to confuse it for Penny Dreadful’s City of Angels, but luckily that is wrapping up its season with some racially motivated riots.  If you were hoping for some Delightfully Colorful heroism, Stargirl has you covered as the new Justice Society learns to work as a team, and the Doom Patrol has sex.  Across the aisle to the other comic behemoth, the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. race against clock in a 70s spy drama.  The rogue FBI team discover they have a mole on Blindspot.  If you are just looking for some toy-based adult humor, Robot Chicken has two new episodes for you, as well.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 June 21

We have a few new options this week, as The Twilight Zone drops season two, and Doom Patrol returns for its second season as well.  Stargirl brings together the entire Justice Society for a Doom/Celestial two punch, but an animated Spider-Man gives us a Venom story to go with the SHIELD Agents’ action in the seventies so we actually have an equal amount of series from the Big Two.  Penny Dreadful spends a night out on the town in LA, while David and Michael finish their homework in Staged.  If you can’t see enjoying any of that, Blindspot has two planefuls of memory eraser to help.

📺 Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 June 7

Not a lot for the television this week, as we only get one Dainty Child, Stargirl who is feeling how alone she is, and gathers a new JSA.  Meanwhile Marvel’s SHIELD’s episode is named “Alien Commies from the Future!” and there are no more details needed.  Over on Blindspot, half the team is in dire straights after last week’s episode, leaving them to scramble just to maintain their new status quo.  Once we finish those, does anyone have any good suggestions for news series we might enjoy?

📺 Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 May 31

The kids are home for summer… which happened a couple of months ago thanks to the global pandemic.  Now, our shows have gone to on their summer breaks as well, which leaves us with just four genre shows.  Stargirl takes on Icicle while DC’s Legends fight Fate in a dystopia and potentially in a thong.  Marvel’s Agents continue to try to protect the time stream during prohibition.  In Blindspot, our FBI team goes up against a chemical weapon.  If this wasn’t enough cheesy campiness, Netflix is also dropping the rest of Fuller House leading to the triple wedding (three couples, not a thruple.)

📺 Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 May 24

The seasons have actually closed for most of the CW’s winter favorites, leaving us with one Debutante Covering the slightly-less-silly content.  Stargirl finds out her own history in her second episode, while the Legends abandon any pretense of not being the “meta” show, and the TV characters are thrown into TV shows.  Hopefully, Mick lands in John Doe and we get a satisfying conclusion to that series.  Meanwhile, the House of Ideas debuts the finale season of its debut MCU show, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  This season promises to give us some returns of Agent Carter characters while the agents are trapped in the age of men wearing excellent fedoras.  In non-comic-based unbelievable shows, the Blindspot team deals with betrayal both in their headquarters and the FBI’s.
