Sam worked all weekend staring at spreadsheets, integrations, and corporate nonsense while trying to preserve a single ounce of sanity. Sam said, “That’s cute,” then went to a bungee-cord workout class where she was allegedly twerking, flying, and giving senior-citizen aerial aerobics to Tina Turner. No notes. Ten out of ten. Olympic behavior. Meanwhile, there was golf. There was a Bills win. There was a weed delivery. There were DoorDashed Blizzards. And there were so many DoorDash charges that corporate security said, “Girl, are you being scammed?” No, babe. Just emotionally vulnerable with access to an app. We also drag lovingly, and of course our latest watches: American Horror Story: Jessica Lange is back, looking expensive, and the plot is apparently being held together with a cigarette and a prayer.Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket: whimsical, high-budget, psychologically destabilizing reality television. Why are they making families betray each other in Candyland?The Love Hypothesis: cute enough, but not “cancel your plans and text your ex” good.Line of Fire: government agents, bad acting, next.Three Pines: murder, curling, electrocution, Canada said, “Let’s give them drama.”Charades: rich teenagers behaving like nobody has ever told them “no,” which, frankly, tracks.And finally, we face the shameful truth: the New York Times says there are 100 essential TV shows from this century, and we have apparently watched three. Maybe four on a generous day. Sue us. Listen now and tell us in the comments: What “classic” TV show have you still never watched—and why are you pretending you’re going to start it soon?
