I believe that content is going to be added over the next few months.

All of the broadcast networks get a separate day for their individual cable networks (well, ABC is cramming everything into one day this year, which is crazy). But Fox pretty much just has FX.

I loved Ned & Stacey.

They're probably contractually obligated to have those cards last a certain amount of time. #creditsnerd

I don't think it will happen. The audience seems too limited, particularly since it's not on streaming. I hope to write something about it someday, though. I finally caught up with it and liked it a lot.

They absolutely did add those beats. It throws me every time too.

Apatow's diversity answer at TCA was frustrating and awful. But Dunham's answer was VERY good, and she has more involvement in the day-to-day on the show than Apatow does. Basically, I think Dunham gets why it's a problem, at the very least, while Apatow just sort of doesn't care.

It's a massive improvement over what they had there last year, and if it holds at its current level, it's an easy renewal. It's only a massive disappointment relative to expectations. But I think most of that is because the creative side of the show is so lackluster.

Fox has a huge short-term problem that's an enviable long-term problem: Its audience is predominantly young people, who have a tendency to watch stuff whenever they want. That's hard to monetize now, but they have a real chance at being the CBS of the TV world that exists in five or six years.

Oh, ABC's season has been a complete and total boondoggle, outside of SHIELD doing kind of okay if you squint and Scandal turning into a genuine hit. But it's sort of a boondoggle by design.

ABC's response is really, really interesting, because they are hemmed in by Disney's larger corporate idea of what an entertainment conglomerate should look like in the 21st century. But more on that later in the week.

Universe actually ran two seasons.

Lasted two seasons! And we covered every episode in TV Club, so if you'd like, you can read those.

It's the technical term for the person in charge of the show, and it's the only word that describes that particular job. I get that it sounds like jargon to a lot of people, but it's the only word that works.

Alternating every two weeks with 100 Episodes. We had planned to start doing that last year, but then ran into the holidays, so we just held it back until now.

I'm pretty sure Elijah will be back, and I'm excited.

Eh, I'm sure I'll join you guys. I just need to know when not to take bait and when not to pick fights. Not that I will ever learn this lesson.

Joining us tomorrow.

We haven't stopped posting post-air reviews. Archer will be reviewed in TV Club as it always has, with Sonia and I splitting up the review duties. Look for it immediately after air on Monday night!

I've seen the pilot and liked it a lot.
