Is Pitt Absence Easy To Explain? Does Scrubs Revival Setting Surprise? Did Daytime Emmys Deliver Bold Wake-Up Call? Will TV OD On FCs? More Qs!
We've got questions, and you've (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we're lobbing queries left and right about The Pitt, Daytime Emmy nominations, the Scrubs revival and more!
1 | If USA Network is going to slap a content advisory in front of its July 4 Rush Hour showing, could they at least spell '90s right?
2 | The And Just Like That production team's explanation for not, in fact, killing Lisa's father twice... doesn't quite pass the sniff test, right?
3 | Were you unexpectedly moved by the goodbye speech given by LEGO Masters' first-ever father-daughter team?
4 | The Quiz With Balls contestant who didn't know who Steve Martin is — what??! And we guess that the team that didn't know that a cowbell instrument uses a drumstick never saw the famous SNL sketch?
5 | Upon realizing that The Bold and the Beautiful's Sheila had been shot in the foot, how many viewers immediately wondered whether the misfire meant that she was now down from nine to eight toes? (Spoiler alert: She was!)
6 | Does anyone else think that The Snake's Jack McBrayer Pastor Jacob will at some point be revealed to not actually be a clergyman?
7 | Which budding Buccaneers romance are we 'shipping more: Lizzy and the Duke, or the Dowager Duchess and her former flame? And how will Nan — and Guy, for that matter! — react when she finds out Ginny has reunited with James?
8 | Regarding Boston Blue's recast of Danny's younger son: If Sean "committed himself to pursuing his family's legacy but wanted to do so on his own terms," as a Boston PD patrolman, wouldn't Danny deciding to stick around Beantown — as a high-ranking cop no less — undermine that some?
9 | Didn't it seem like The Sandman's Destruction was living on the set of Mamma Mia!? (And given how rough his siblings seem to have it, can you blame him?)
10 | Will Bold & Beautiful being shut out of all the major Daytime Emmy categories serve as the wakeup call the soap desperately needs to stop beating us over the head with repetitious dialogue?
11 | Larry David's new HBO sketch series promises to feature "some" actors from Curb Your Enthusiasm... but does anyone think Cheryl Hines will be receiving a phone call?
12 | In the King of the Hill revival trailer, why do only some of the characters look like they've meaningfully aged in the years since the show first ended?
13 | Are you surprised it took Beyond the Gates' Nicole this long to finally strangle Leslie?
14 | Were you surprised to see the Scrubs revival logline mention Sacred Heart by name, seeing as how the actual, abandoned hospital where they shot Seasons 1-8 was torn down, and the series shifted to Winston University for Season 9? (Plus, Bill Lawrence has said Season 10 will not erase the events of Scrubs: Med School.)
15 | In the Criminal Minds: Evolution finale's flashback to Cyrus at the dive bar, when you first saw a woman arrive in the background, did anyone else think it was going to be Aimee Garcia's Julia Ochoa?
16 | Does it give you pause that Peacock is unspooling all 10 episodes of The Paper, its spinoff of The Office, over a span of just four Thursdays?
17 | While The Pitt's one shift-per-season format would make it fairly easy to explain why Dr. Heather Collins isn't working that particular day, do you think Season 2 will provide a greater explanation for Tracy Ifeachor's absence, especially given her character's connection to Noah Wyle's Dr. Robby?
18 | Being the only returning player and a former winner, does Rachel Reilly have any shot in hell at actually winning Big Brother 27? And who do you think is the Mastermind's secret accomplice?
19 | When And Just Like That's Carrie says that she and Aidan are "over 20 years" into their relationship, is she including the 15 or so years when they were both married to other people?
20 | Do you think the producers of Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage are now kicking themselves for not making fan-favorite Annie Potts (aka Meemaw) a series regular?
21 | Following Virgin River's latest renewal, how long do you think it'll be before any other Netflix show reaches eight seasons? (Can you see any of their other current scripted series having that sort of longevity?)
22 | In Dexter: Resurrection's second episode, shouldn't Dexter have been a bit more careful while touching the doorknob of a hotel room-turned-murder scene? And shouldn't Batista easily be able to track Dex down since he bought a car with his real name and got a new ID?
23 | Given how strongly The Chi's Alicia insisted that Tiff use her lawyer to draw up a will, anyone else suspicious that the older woman is going to have some language inserted that gives her custody of her unborn grandchild?
24 | Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' Running With the Wolves (premiering on ESPN, July 29), Tom Brady's Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues (Prime Video, Aug. 1) and Eva Longoria's Necaxa (FXX, Aug. 7) all premiere within the span of 12 days, begging the question: Just how many Welcome to Wrexham ripoffs — all of which were clearly inspired by the success of Ted Lasso — can TV sustain?
