I will likely binge watch some TV series. If I don't find anything airing on the satellite, there are many hours of Twilight Zone shows on the recorder.

I don't want to listen to a whole night of talking heads giving their opinions.

I'm still on Star Trek Enterprise.
I do take breaks from it because after watching three of four episodes in a row, I get Trekked out.

Suggestions for anything not dark?

But to me this is looking more and more like when a hurricane hits Florida. The suspense lasts so long that you eventually decide to go to sleep and learn the result later.

and Brian Williams' sarcastic wit works well with them.

It already feels like a horror show that I'll be peeking through my fingers at. That crew will either be peeking with me, or they will calm me down. Either way, they feel the most like friends to me, and I want to be with friends.

They have been the most accurate calling elections and watching the hosts sweet tears trickle down their face is something I am going to cherish.

Note: I will be heavily drunk at the time.

PS I'm not even joking but I'll flip to CNN from time to time because they have been a bastion of sanity the past few years, even though they created this monster, they're ending his reign.

The link tells what it is, they do 16 lyrically altered songs. I'm ready to replace the noise and hysteria of terrible election day coverage with music and entertainment.

I had a hand in this, even wrote part of it, but due to my work schedule, I haven't seen it yet myself. Tomorrow for sure!

In the intro blurbs, Melania sounds like Rocky the Squirrel's Natasha, and Robert Yarnall's "Bernie Sanders" sounds EXACTLY like Bernie Sanders (or, at least, Larry David doing Bernie Sanders).

Keep up here at du, and watch Political Idol in the gaps of tv coverage. Should be good filler in those long boring waits for new news.

Hopefully they'll be running their usual weeknight spate of Forensic Files, otherwise Netflix.
If we watch news(and I'm sure we'll check in), it will probably be CNN to avoid Kernacki.

Did not watch the last debate so went to MSNBC for analysis. Joy Reid read some kind of a manifesto and kept telling Nicole Wallace and Rachel Maddow not to interrupt her. CNN was good with Gloria Borger but Rick Santorum??

I like all 4 of those commentators a lot actually. Maddow is the best on TV, Wallace is extraordinarily passionate and despises Trump, and Williams is the wittiest of any of the folks on any channel.
