Too Much TV: Your TV Talking Points For Friday, July 19th, 2019

I should have something clever to say on this line...but it's Friday

Here's everything you need to know about the world of television for Friday, July 19th, 2019. I'm writing this from the Twin Cities, where AllYourScreens HQ is running on unsweetened ice tea and forbidden pot pies.

SDCC IS GOING ON....DO YOU CARE?
After a Wednesday preview night, the San Diego Comic-Con kicked off yesterday and will be going full blast all weekend. There are scatterings of news being dribbled out by the networks in their panels and we'll post those nuggets along with lots of photos. But my sense is that it's not as newsworthy as it was even five years ago? Maybe it's the ramped-up promotion efforts by the studios or the endless parade of tie-in products being hawked to super fans. But SDCC now seems more like a Disney World for pop culture geeks.

THIS IS AN ABBREVIATED NEWSLETTER
