News (00:04:42)

We talked about the following four TV news stories:

• Amazon Renews Tig Notaro's One Mississippi for Second Season
• CBS Orders More Episodes Of Man With A Plan, The Great Indoors & Code Black – This somehow turned into talking about MacGyver.
• HBO Renews Westworld, Divorce and Insecure – This turned into a discussion of how many new scripted shows there are this year.
• Get Ready for More Blazers: Full Frontal With Samantha Bee Renewed for Season 2 – This turned into a discussion of late night TV.

We used the specific episodes listed below as a jumping off point to discuss the following five TV shows:

• Black Mirror – S.3 (00:28:30)
• This Is Us – S.1 Ep.7, “The Best Washing Machine in the Whole World” (00:40:40)
• Pitch – S.1 Ep.8, “Unstoppable Forces & Immovable Objects” (00:51:01)

• Jason recommended getting your ATX Television Festival passes for $145 ($30 off) on Black Friday, November 25th thru Cyber Monday, November 28th with code ATXTHANKFUL and Trying Amazon Prime Free for 30 Days. It's the perfect time to give it a try as we head into the holiday season, so you can get that free two-day shipping on most items and also check out the Prime Video offerings like The Man in the High Castle S.2, which premieres December 16th.
• Clyde recommended ABC's Speechless – Official Site – and PBS' Hamilton's America documentary about the musical.
• Kei recommended Netflix's Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life and check out her Gilmored podcast.
