When the temperatures start to cool down, TV heats up. … A lot.
Unlike last fall, when COVID-19 precautions and restrictions put a major crimp in the supply line, it’s business as usual this time around. That means we’re about to be hit with a massive barrage of brand new shows and fresh episodes of our returning favorites.
