Cheers to Hamiltonys
With Broadway sensation Hamilton all the rage, James Corden at the top of his hosting game and the most diverse field of nominees and winners on Earth, it’s no surprise that the Tony Awards raised the curtain on their highest ratings in 15 years.
Cheers to TNT
for docking The Last Ship. In the wake of Orlando’s nightclub massacre, the network opted to hold the post-apocalyptic drama’s two hour Season 3 return — which featured a similar plot — for a week. Tom (Eric Dane) and the crew of the USS Nathan James, we salute this decision.
Jeers to HBO
for curbing our enthusiasm. If you’re gonna announce that Curb Your Enthusiasm is returning for a ninth season after five years, the least you could do is give us an idea when we should expect to see Larry David and his castmates again. And while you’re at it, what’s up with that Deadwood movie you keep teasing us with?
Jeers to Game of Thrones
for cheating logic. Arya (Maisie Williams) was stabbed multiple times yet was still able to outrun and kill the faster, stronger Waif (Faye Marsay)? And we thought Tyrion’s (Peter Dinklage) drinking games back in Meereen were hard to swallow.
