As this infographic from Scary Mommy shows, the pandemic means that moms have more on their plates than ever before: Remote schooling! Being the hygiene police! Providing constant attention and affirmation to needy family members! It's all too much.

What We’re Watching: DWTS Villains Night and Veronica Mars “Not Pictured”

10/27/2020

0 Comments

 
On Dancing with the Stars, we question whether Cruella de Vil is as evil as Freddy Krueger, and whether everyone needed to be wearing fake contact lenses along with their fake blood. Overall, we prefer our dances to be horror-free--with a rare exception for this creepy one from Frankie Muniz and pro Witney Carson (2017). Next: Double elimination! (Can Tyra be eliminated? Just wondering.)

In Neptune, two known villains and one recently revealed villain all met their doom in the season two finale of Veronica Mars. Good riddance! Next: "On the Rocks," starring Bill Murray and Rashida Jones, on AppleTV+.
