Spring TV Potpourri

Co-hosts Eileen and Dolores provide a rundown on what's on TV, which starts off as a cheerful endeavor and ends up in a state of despondency over our grim cultural moment. We report on the third season in twenty years of THE COMEBACK, the HBO Max cringe comedy starring Lisa Kudrow as Valerie Cherish, an eternally optimistic and terminally obtuse former TV sitcom star of the late 1980s-‘90s trying to get her career going again in the age of reality TV, AI, influencers, and online everything. Dolores also describes the "death-drive" third season of HBO Max's EUPHORIA, and Eileen despairs over an assortment of hellish offerings including the LORD OF THE FLIES miniseries (Netflix), the second season of BEEF (Netflix), the new David E. Kelley series MARGO'S GOT MONEY TROUBLES (Apple TV+), and the nostalgia-driven return of the hit aughts sitcom SCRUBS (Hulu).
