Every new TV year brings with it a sense of potential for greatness, yes, but also disappointment.

BoJack Horseman, Succession, The New Pope, and Schitt’s Creek.

Veepin space?

Hugh Laurie, Zach Woods, and Josh Gad are among the stars.

An Auschwitz survivor played by Al Pacino.

Hopefully it also gives us lots more time with Kim Wexler andthe best ponytail on TV.

Okay, how about now?

Were going to have to wait almost a whole year, arent we?

[Leans back and takes a long, dejected sip of bone broth.

Not those ones in the 90s, either.

The 70s culture wars, the ones with Phyllis Schlafly and the Equal Rights Amendment and Gloria Steinem.

Thats this show, with a blockbuster cast.

You may want to phone a friend to see if they want to watch it with you.
