| Three Busy Debras |
Dammit, Barry! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, April 24!
Our Top Pick tonight is the season premiere of the surreal comedy Three Busy Debras (Adult Swim, midnight), one of the best offerings in AS' library of originals. The show stars (and was created and is written by) Sandy Honig, Alyssa Stonoha, and Mitra Jouhari as three deranged housewives all named Debra in the suburban community of Lemoncurd. I believe the tonight's title gif explains exactly what the Debras think of themselves.
Elsewhere, Barry returns, Julia Roberts gets Gaslit by Republicans, The Rookie attempts a spinoff, Chiwetel Ejiofor Fell to Earth and becomes a resident alien, Rhett & Link eat lab food, Billy the Kid gets scripted series treatment, CNN profiles Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, HBO has a Baby, the Lakers are Winning, and Alison might exit Sanditon.
