This week we have: sad dirgeses about two recently announced cancellations, bad one picks from the fall TV lineup in which we have the deepest confidence, good one picks about which we're.... like..... IDK.... maybe!!!??!?! about, more uncertain squeaky uptalk than you can shake a stick at, and a full minute of Margaret explaining a driving game called cows that anyone other than Margaret would surely have trimmed out of the episode, but it's too late for you hos as neither responsible host was here to intervene. Links of pertinence: 

• Venture Bros. cancellation
• High Fidelity's cancellation, Alison Herman's thoughtful observations on the shortening lifespans of streaming TV shows, and the creators' interview about where they intended to take Season 2. 
• Kathryn's Bad One
• Margaret's Bad One
• Andrew's Bad One
• Margaret's Good One
• Andrew's ... goood one???????
• and Kathryn's Good.... one?
• And!! Our new TV Book Club: Netflix's Never Have I Ever, watch the pilot for next week! 

And, last but never least, please enjoy John Brown's portrait from the National Portrait Gallery, one of Margaret's very favorite works of art.
