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 2022 March 20

A slower week, but if Robot Chicken’s visit to St., Olaf, The Good Doctor’s visit to a long term care facility, Superman and Lois’s visit with John Henry, The Flash’s trust of a suspected murderer, and The Blacklists’ Task Force visit with an escort service doesn’t keep you entertained, Bridgerton’s second season also drops at the end of the week.  It’s not exactly genre, unless you are willing to accept that Bridgerton exists the way Dark City exists.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 March 6

A slight shake-up this week, as shows from last week.  We have Miraculous to keep the kids busy for a few moments while you watch Robot Chicken go against the Powerpuff Girls.  The Good Doctor gets a pop star in the hospital.  Superman is filled with family drama, even pitting brother against brother.  Naomi goes gar shopping.  The Legends skip town this week, but The Flash steps in with a new episode.  In Season Eight, Arrow tried to shift the show to the kids of the main character, which didn’t work, so now the Flash is going to try it.  Discovery is out, but Picard is here to do Penance in their place.  Raised by Wolves doesn’t give us any hints about their second to last episode this season, other than they’re “Feeding”.

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 28

I hope everyone has a quiet week with family, regardless of last week’s turkey consumption, because this week is lighter on television.  This week, Lost in Space will drop its third and final season.  The Doctor continues to uncover her past while sorting out The Flux, The Flash visits The Hall of Justice with Black Lightning, Riverdale makes Rivervale make tough choices,  Young Justice gives us some magic, and The Legends give us a Bebbo Christmas special.  Wheel of Time introduce some new faces.  We don’t get synopsis, but I am still most interested in Hawkeye and the crew of Star Trek: Discovery.

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.

Looking for more remakes of favorites from your childhood?  We have the power, as Masters of the Universe’s first half of the first season drop this week.  They join SurrealEstate as new shows on the table.
