Author: Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV July 12, 2017 Duration: 1:11:29

FX fills Fargo's time slot with Snowfall, John Singleton's drama series about the birth of crack, and Nick Rheinwald-Jones joins us to talk about it because he lives in Los Angeles and definitely NOT because he is a crackhead. Sarah explains why she's not a crackpot for thinking cable networks should just leave swear words in movies. Around The Dial takes us through Lifetime's movie Tiny House Of Terror, Younger, GLOW, and Prime Suspect - Tennison. Hannah makes her case for our inducting the series premiere of Catastrophe into The Canon, and after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a poetic Game Time. Light it up!
