Whoa, there, TV! Slow down! This is a marathon not a sprint, and we don’t want you running out of gas before the spring season even gets here. On the heels of last week’s Ant-Man debut, Marvel is trotting out its real show pony: the second installment of its Avengers ensemble. In addition to the return of director Joss Whedon, we’ve got the next Melissa McCarthy headliner from director Paul Feig, and the first co-starring Tina Fey-Amy Poehler vehicle since this year’s Golden Globes. Then, besides the scare tactics of Unfriended, it’s all about the boob tube. Familiar faces like Rob Thomas and Will Forte are bringing us new network comedies. Bob Odenkirk proves that even television isn’t immune to the reboot virus plaguing big screens as he reprises the role of Saul Goodman for AMC. And Netflix reminds us that we are all still beholden to the Underwood administration. Oh, then there’s Adult Swim, which is throwing a huge middle finger at institutional racism in law enforcement. In other words, you’ve got a lot of space to make on your DVR!
