1. The second season of one of our favorite comedies right now, This Fool, not only premiered last week, but dropped all episodes on Hulu for your binging pleasure. Get into it and you might just find a great poke at The Bear and Burning Man.

2. Rachel Scanlon and McKenzie Goodwin, hosts of one of the best queer podcasts around, just kicked off a gigantic Two Dykes and a Mic tour across North America that will last you almost the way to Thanksgiving. Go get tickets right now right here.

3. If you can’t get your Matt Berry fix quick enough when waiting for the next episode of What We Do in the Shadows, be thrilled to know that Toast of Tinseltown is now streaming free, at your convenience, on Roku.

4. Matt Groening’s Disenchantment is going to come to a close with season five on Netflix come Sept. 1st on Netflix. Five seasons is more than most shows last these days, but it’s unfortunately far from Groening’s other show, The Simpsons, which is currently at 34.

5. Kudos and cheers and applause to Seth MacFarlane as he just made a $1 million donation the Entertainment Community Fund to support those entertainment industry workers directly affected by the historic WGA/SAG-AFTRA Strike (Deadline). You don’t need to give a million, but you can donate to the ECF here.

6. In LA, let’s have a moratorium on calling any new comedy shows, Mixtape. There are too many already.

Amongst the wave of things that were unveiled during Comic-Con this weekend, Matt Groening’s newest series, Disenchanted, debuted its first trailer.

It’s the ultra clever comedy you’ve come to expect from the creator of The Simpsons, this time set in a fantasy world in the past. Though, as was the case of the distant future of Futurama, plenty of jokes will be plenty to relevant to the present day real world. We didn’t get to see much of it in the trailer, but we hope that there will be lots of signage humor in Disenchanted.

See all of this for yourself here and look for all episodes to start streaming on Netflix on Friday, August 17th.

Netflix scores another huge get and, yet again, ups their comedy brand even higher than it already is.

Disenchantment not only comes in with a big, out-of-the-gate 20 episode order and Matt Groening at the helm, but also will include the voice talents of Abbi Jacobson, Nat Faxon, Eric Andre, John DiMaggio, Billy West, Maurice LaMarche (that’s looking at you, Futurama diehards), Tress MacNeille, David Herman, Matt Berry, Jeny Batten, Rich Fulcher, Noel Fielding, and Lucy Montgomery.

The show will “follow the misadventures of hard-drinking young princess Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo, and her personal demon Luci. Along the way, the oddball trio will encounter ogres, sprites, harpies, imps, trolls, walruses, and lots of human fools.”

Sounds like it’ll fit quite perfectly next to Netflix’s other animated series, BoJack Horseman and F Is For Family.

Look for Disenchantment (the series and not just in general) to start streaming next year.
