The Baskets season finale aired this week, and while show took a while to get going (wait, what is the tone of this thing?), it ultimately found a devoted audience.
The mix of low-brow and high-art; the blend of mirth with the melancholy truly allows the show to shine. #Baskets

Louie Anderson’s turn as Christine Baskets is especially beloved and the character has the fan art to prove it.

Proof that you can never go wrong with “Tainted Love.”
Really enjoyed the use of Soft Cell. #TheAmericans

Samantha Bee got folks fired up in this week’s episode of Full Frontal with a piece on the backlog of untested rape kits currently gathering dust on our nation’s shelves.

On a very different note… guess what? Snoop Dogg has finally done it, the thing we’ve all been waiting for! He’s launched a nature show! Well, kind of. The first episode of Planet Snoop, which is two minutes long and can be seen on YouTube, features Snoop watching a different nature show (Planet Earth, of course) and commenting on it. It is, unsurprisingly, awesome.
"This squirrel is hard. What gang he from?" Excuse me while I stop BREATHING for a minute. #PlanetSnoop #yallmissingout

@SnoopDogg narrating nature videos is the funniest thing I've seen in awhile! 😂 I could watch these videos all day. #PlanetSnoop
