Forget Joey’s hair; how many times are the judges going to let JJ get away with a body suit being the default base of a drag look? They’ve roasted other queens for it, but every look JJ had tonight started with one.

You could make the argument that it’s better than Crazy Ex, but you’d be wrong.  Let’s see how it handles season two, first.

The Amazing Race.  Phil Keoghan intones, “Where will they go... NEXT?” and then you crash right into the titles, driven by the most recognizable percussion line of the last two decades.  The Racers are important, and you see them, but the real hook is the world they’re hurtling through.  Everywhere and anywhere is…

The one built for the 2nd Avenue subway stop at 86th Street on the Q line is even longer than DuPont circle in DC.  It’s crazy.

Also in the category of “Shows so screwed over by their networks that something good will never be seen again”:

Tonight is also the last episode of the Swamp Thing series that CW has been airing, after DCUniverse mishandled it so badly it was canceled the day after its first episode dropped.

A lesson that Food Network’s frenetic, trying-WAY-too-hard Candy Land could have learned.

Relax into the goofiness, don’t push it.  The crazy will follow if you give it room to breathe.

I have waited two seasons for that f**king monkey to get what’s coming to him.  And you Pan has been, ever since their first encounter.  And then for Coulter to slowly throw it off... this is going to be a crazy last pair of episodes.

There seems to be a problem.  I’m getting an article without Lovecraft Country in it?  That can’t be right.  Must be a glitch somewhere.

Birdie will be done when J-Lo wants to do it. It has always been her baby.

I have to admit, I WOULD like to see Patrick Page do this on TV as he did on Broadway.  The scenery wouldn’t survive, but it would be FUN to see Hades embody the Grinch.

There are those of us who STILL believe in Tad Cooper, sir. #Galavant

(Which may be part of the problem.  When on, Galavant was able to pull off the whimsy and wall-breaking that Morrison and company failed at.  Although, “Oh, god, it’s a BALLAD!” did draw a laugh.)

There is no Max without Chuck Jones.  Everything we think, know, and love about that dog started with Jones.

Does Saoirse flirt as much in the series?  I would probably eat even Siobhan’s slime, which would set the Thames, if she was serving it.

There we will have to disagree. He can be counted on for at least one arbitrary, unnecessary, or baseless critique per episode, as the reviewer noted above.

Mary at least could be counted upon to rein him in; one of the better features of this season was Noel and Matt puncturing his image at several opportunities.

Haaaaaaaaaave... you met Paul Hollywood?

With Supergirl leaving and Batwoman Kate already gone, that League now exists in ...

another universe.  

And yet, every season, we get grinding gears, people hot-gluing runway looks, and choux that needs to be chucked.  *sigh*

Junior’s occasional appearances on grown-ish also fit into this problem area. On that show, he’s confident, restrained, and even has a fairly regular sexual relationship with one of the TWINS. How that meshes with the buffoon seen on most episodes of black-ish has never made sense.

Truth be told, if there weren’t…

Not even a mention of the return of Duck Tales, which has gotten exponentially better since the first season.  Catherine Tate as Magica DeSpell is as riotous as ever, and the meta-references include a very sharp takeoff on 80's-movie training montages.

Swamp Thing premieres on the CW 10/6, and as it got totally screwed over by DCU and the state of North Carolina, it really doesn’t deserve the crap.

It’s a good show.  Watch it, and tell me otherwise.
