Morning Coffee (9/24/15)

Me elsewhere: new show reviews! The Muppets was better than I expected. I liked the world-building in Minority Report. Blindspot was resoundingly meh.

And ICYMI, I started a running ranking of new fall shows, now updated with Rosewood and Limitless.

A little late, but important: You Have to Be an Actual Moron or a Wannabe Dictator to Want Your Wife's Face on the $10

  1. Seriously though, how are they going to get the cougars to use the overpass? It would work except cougars can't read road signs--just like the wolves can't. Also bears. And bees. C.J. would be laughing so hard right now.
