What's on TV this week?

This week in TV we have some favorites, old and new, and one classic is coming to an end. Let us know if any of these shows are in your TV queue. 

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

While The Daily Show might represent one of many late night slots that women can't break into, Jon Stewart created a show that has become a staple for human who like comedy everywhere. His late night run on the satirical news show is coming to an end in August. While a new anchor, Trevor Noah will take over the helm at The Daily Show, it certainly feels like the end of an era. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart also helped bring comediennes like Samantha Bee, Jessica Williams, and Kristen Schaal into our homes with their comedy and commentary. We hope you catch up with Jon Stewart while he's still on the air.

iZombie

For something lighter we turn to the CW. From the creator of Veronica Mars comes iZombie, a supernatural police procedural based on a comic series. iZombie is coming on the heels of popular procedural's like Forever, Castle, and Elementary which seem to have a clear agenda to show police detectives as totally useless, and random people should absolutely be out solving murders. It's wonderful to see a woman in the helm of such a franchise, as well as co-creator and executive producer Diane Ruggiero bringing more women to the writing and development. It's a fun show that takes a serious look at the life of a lonely zombie, and shows some creative crime solving.

Veep

Returning for it's 4th season is the Julia Louis-Dreyfus political comedy that I've often called the funniest show on television. For 4 seasons, Armando Iannucci has made comedy smarter, and politics sillier. The interaction between Vice President Selena Meyers (Louis-Dreyfus) and her personal aid Gary (The outstanding Tony Hale) is something that makes me laugh until I'm gasping for air. You might have seen their shtick when Julia won an Emmy for her work on Veep in 2013 and Tony Hale joined her on stage to hold her purse and whisper "you love your family" in her ear like he does in the show. Veep is really really funny.
