All Times are eastern
A few years ago, if someone said Donald Trump could be the next American President, you’d asked them what drugs they were on. That might be the same question asked of the TV executives that gave the green light to a cooking show teaming Martha Stewart with Snoop Dogg. Frankly, both sound like stories that were made up by The Beaverton.
See how things all tie together? Here are some “high”lights for the week ahead. Happy viewing!
