Did Voice Choice Dumbfound You? How Did DWTS Not Play ‘Mirrorball’? Did All Rise Finale Merely Whelm? Macy’s Parade Snubbed Saul?! More Qs!

We’ve got questions, and you’ve (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about lotsa shows including All Rise, The Voice, Squid Game: The Challenge and Bass Reeves!

1 | Was there a more random on-screen death this year than Stranger Things’ Gaten Matarazzo getting impaled shortly after making his grand entrance in Peacock’s Please Don’t Destroy movie? (And yes, that is a goateed Conan O’Brien looking on in horror!)

2 | When the All Rise series finale ended, did you go, “That’s it”?

3 | About that Lawmen: Bass Reeves cold open: Because it happened off-screen, are we supposed to believe that the same woman who pulled a gun on Bass just for stepping on her property eventually let him just take her handcuffed, adult, scofflaw sons without putting up a fight?

4 | How did Yellowstone’s Jamie get away with Sarah’s murder? Since she was dead before her body hit the lake, wouldn’t the coroner have noticed that there was no water in her lungs? Also, wouldn’t there have been telltale bruising around her neck from Jamie’s strangling?

5 | We understand that time works differently on The Simpsons, but were you also taken aback when Marge referred to this as the family’s “first Thanksgiving with Maggie,” noting that she was excited to drink now that she isn’t pregnant anymore? Isn’t this show in its 35th season?

6 | When Family Guy’s Stewie mentioned that his “victory shall be mine!” catchphrase was “big in the ’90s,” did you also Google to confirm that this show has, in fact, been airing since the ’90s? Isn’t it trippy to think that there are millions of people out there old enough to legally drink who have never known a world without Family Guy in it?

7 | Couldn’t The Late Show have foregone its usual monologue, or done away with the musical guest, to dedicate more time to Stephen Colbert’s interview with former host David Letterman? (No offense to Dave’s favorite band The National, but… we wanted more time with Dave!)

8 | Seriously, why can’t we come up with a good Muppets show?

9 | C’mon now: An entire Dancing With the Stars episode dedicated to Taylor Swift’s music, and not a single play of her song “Mirrorball”?

10 | Has any fan of The Voice ever been as bewildered (or ticked off) by a coach’s decision as they were by Niall Horan letting the superlative Alexa Wildish go during the Playoffs?

11 | How poorly is Raid the Cage screening its couples if that one wife only got two (2) painfully easy pop culture questions correct? Also, did you worry that the guy at the end dinged the new car when ramming the Vespa through the closing door?

12 | Could this week’s NCIS: Sydney have made it any more obvious that Evie’s “gait recognition” gadget was going to end up cracking the case? And will probably never be seen/used again?

13 | Wait a second! Does Paramount+’s Good Burger sequel take place in an alternate universe where UPN never merged with The WB to become The CW?

14 | Now that you’ve heard Phil Dunster sing on Hannah Waddingham’s Christmas special, are you sorta bummed that Ted Lasso never gave us Jamie Tartt singing in any capacity? Even semi-bad karaoke?! And did you shed a tear at the sight of Waddingham’s dad crying at the end of “O Holy Night”?

15 | Are you disappointed by how little Squid Game: The Challenge players refer to the events of the scripted Squid Game series? (Weren’t you expecting the cast to feature more superfans?) During “Red Light, Green Light,” why did some players “play dead” after being “shot,” while some just sauntered away? Could you have done without seeing soooo much saliva during the cookie challenge? 🤮 And did Netflix not want to bother securing the Battleship name for its (ahem) “Warship” challenge, or did the board game’s maker pass on being associated with the series?

16 | We’re not the only ones feeling a vibe between For All Mankind’s Ed and Svetlana, right…?

17 | Are too many Survivor contestants losing their votes way too late in the game? Also, seeing how Bruce and Julie continue to kick ass in immunity challenges, should the show be casting more older contestants than it has been?

18 | If The CW eventually confirms Superman & Lois, Walker and All American for early 2024, will Fox actually have the snooziest midseason schedule?

19 | While watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, did you notice Savannah Guthrie say hello to Amber Ruffin… then walk right past Bob Odenkirk? (Oops!)

20 | Since the new Karate Kid movie will be fusing the franchise’s mythology, is there any chance we’ll finally see Hilary Swank’s Julie Pierce return to the fold? And if not, which characters from the Miyagi-verse would you want to see join next year’s flick?
