‘MSNBC Live': The Best Summer TV of 2015

MSNBC Summer TV 1

I appeared on MSNBC Live today (while the segment was produced by the Melissa Harris-Perry team and was in that show’s usual timeslot, it wasn’t actually considered a Melissa Harris-Perry broadcast because of the holiday weekend), talking about the best summer TV shows that too many of you aren’t watching.

I talked about four of the shows I’ve been writing about, and raving about, all summer: Amazon’s Catastrophe, Lifetime’s UnReal, Comedy Central’s Another Period and USA’s Mr. Robot.

I think Catastrophe star Rob Delaney really liked what I had to say about his show!

MSNBC didn’t post the segment online, but I uploaded the clip here (I know the audio quality isn’t the best; my apologies).

Long story short: you should start watching all four of those shows, immediately!

It’s been awhile since I had appeared on Squawk Alley—due to my availability and breaking news that bumped one scheduled appearance—but I returned Monday for my first segment as an Adweek staffer. I discussed my Adweek reviews of Amazon’s magnificent new sitcom Catastrophe and True Detective‘s less-than-magnificent second season. Here’s a clip from the segment:

The best part was finally doing a Squawk Alley appearance seated next to my Twitter pal Carl Quintanilla, the show’s regular anchor. Between my remote segments and his absences during my previous visits to the show’s New York Stock Exchange studio, our meeting up on-camera was long overdue!
