Titan revisits past Doctors in “Volume 0” special. I’ll be getting it . . . look at the page with Four and Romana. Quirky!

"This just in . . . Sparky has tested positive for PEDs. Also, cat guts." And hey, they're gonna face the Marlins this weekend . . . meaning that they can land in last place and fulfill their destiny as laughingstocks. I got a flier in the mail for promo events, including a Syndergaard bobblehead. The sad thing is he might be injured or dealt by the time that game rolls around.

August 5 is within the summer season! And here's a teaser of Rusty dealing with the Triad.

The thirteenth season is nigh.

Once again, CT had a plane to catch . . . presumably to meet his son, who wouldn’t shit himself on purpose. I was distracted by Ashley’s red boots. I think the only other woman that could pull that is Laurel. They would be black boots, coated in the blood of her rivals.

Also, the game was set up where CT didn’t know who he was slamming against. To me, it was a “hate the game” deal.

Funny115: Naonka vs. Marty; Naonka still sucks.

"In other news, the Mets bullpen blew a 3-1 lead in the ninth inning, losing to the Pirates, 5-3. Right now, New York has the same number of wins as the hapless Miami Marlins. To celebrate, Mets fans stormed the field, tackled Jeruys Familia, and broke his throwing arm. And then they broke the other arm, 'just to be safe'."

I'm okay with Trevor and his people getting on their stomachs to pick up that fruit. I don't know what that says about me, though. ETA: Usual mix of depression and hope. Bonus: Poncho the dog showing off CPR skills. So cute. In case you missed it . . .

You know what an Archer without Adam Reed behind the wheel could be? Fourth season of The Boondocks without Aaron MacGruder.

. . . or a case of, "Hey, they can walk away. I still have to live with this bullshit." Didn't John Oliver cover "crisis centers" first? Still worth focusing on . . . and sending two faux alt-righters to give viewers a look at the actual struggle is -- dare I say it -- a little more informational. Seriously hoping Jordan gets a bigger audience with his new gig, and that he joins Trevor, Samantha and John in the ranks of the disciples of Jon Stewart making a difference.

I got a picture to share later. In the meantime . . . anybody here in the NYC area? The "ChallengeMania" podcast guys (Derrick being one of them) are having a viewing party for Final Reckoning. Would anyone here be interested? ETA: I met Jamie Chung at BoroughCon. Really nice person. She was tickled at the sketch I had gotten of her character from The Gifted earlier that day. I know, he only did Inferno II, but that still counts as being a Challenge, right?

I'm awesome with it. It's a mix of evil and ignorance, with maybe a few hipsters going ironically. Those people need to be clowned all the damn time.

Very cute bit from the World Cup . . . fans from Japan and Senegal get together after their nations' 2-2 draw to sing the anime's first opening song, "We Are!"

. . . and I just found out Harold has his own Instagram. Pics and less artsy videos from Annie. Also, a clip of Harold and Lambington on the bed, which gives you a sense on how young the Shar Pei is. I reckon he's about 13-14 weeks old. In other news, here is this year's titleholder of World's Ugliest Dog: Zsa Zsa.

Next week, King of the Hill gets replaced by Dragon Ball Super. Yeah, I don't get it, either. Here's what I get when I type "Dragonball Z, King of the Hill" in Google Images. And here are the main guys and Cotton as the Ginyu Force. You're welcome. More news: The Venture Bros. goes to the 12:30 slot, Robot Chicken repeats go to 1:00. Hot Package airs at 1:15. This week's 4 a.m. mindfuck is Final Deployment 4: Queen Battle Walkthrough. Looks like a spoof of YouTube commentary at first, then it goes off the rails. Weird even for Adult Swim at 4 a.m. DVR it if you can! ETA: Bill is Capt. Ginyu. Hey, why not? ETA2: The guys behind Too Many Cooks are behind Final Deployment? Not really shocked.

Lots of yelling, lots of cursing. So much strum und drang, so little meaning. Also salsa. And the taping runs long enough to warrant a few people to bail out to make flights. And guess what? We get to do this shit all over again, only on a larger scale.

“Hey, didn’t that happen to the Mets once?” Yes, it did, and I think I was at that game. Mets fans’ greatest fear: that the team will fall apart and crater like 1993 (aka “The Worst Team Money Can Buy”), and that they would have to work upward towards mere irrelevancy. Yankees fans’ greatest fear: coming home to find your wife and daughter getting banged by Aaron Judge. The fear is that Judge would run out without giving you a high-five and/or autograph. Obviously, the daughter would be over 21. She comes back home for a bit, she talks with her mother, Judge shows up, the women get the vapors . . . yadda, yadda, yadda, “All Rise!” ETA: Walkoff Wilmer strikes again. If he gets dealt, he won’t be wiping away tears. His fans, on the other hand . . . ETA2: Braves outdo Mets in fucked-up shit in a stadium. Gotta take your victories where you can get 'em.

Harold the cat celebrates his first birthday.

I guess there are worse things than sinking below the Miami Marlins, a team that should’ve been moved ages ago, if not outright dissolved.

Great night. We get a new Casey (albeit with different spelling), Chris Wilczewski continues his comeback with the fastest run and $10K extra, Najee Richardson fights off cramps to make a great performance, and Akbar got hosed off five different times. Also, everybody got to make fun of his first pitch. So, basically, everybody won. Next week? Look, I know there was a lot of background information about the Stangers that ANW "neglected" to mention. But the only other person I know making a debut in Minneapolis is an out-and-out famewhore from The Challenge, so I'm good with Mrs. Stanger running the course.

Just curious as to whether there was a list of teams considered for a returnee season. Today, Diana posted this picture on Facebook. Part of me figures that she and Justin would have been locks for a spot if not for the pregnancy. Also, Adam & Bethany just had a second kid, and I would've thought they would be on the list. Anybody want to speculate?

Bless the credits. "Hilter." Wow. Just turning into the skid. While I want to see the goings-on of Eugene, Starr and everyone else, we needed the trek to Angelville. While there are differences from the comics (yes, I didn't type "graphic novels"), the main point remains: Jesse's grandmother and kin are not nice people. Looks like Purgatory is run like Hell, complete with actors and a laugh track. And God pops up to say howdy to Tulip. While still wearing the gimp dog suit. Hey, why not? How come AMC isn't airing this at 9 p.m.?

I do not consider myself a failure as a “Whovian.” I am an American, and we don’t have a rich history of audio plays that exist to today.

The cover for the latest Doctor Who Magazine was revealed. One of the blurbs is about another “semester” of Class. Would there be a second series/season?
