While January has become something of a dumping ground for wayward films, the TV front offers something more consistent, and perhaps, more exciting. This first month of 2019, in particular, holds quite a few greats, even if two of them are groundbreaking comedies making their last outing. Along with mid-season returns, there’s recently saved network comedies, critically revered series being given new life after dissatisfying sophomoric slumps, and a revival of a show fans have been hoping for years.

The adventures of Abbi and Ilana on Comedy Central’s “Broad City” are coming to an end after the upcoming fifth season.

According to a report on Deadline, the hit series is going to wrap up after the upcoming season, which is scheduled to air in 2019. However, that doesn’t mean the end of the relationship between stars Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer and Comedy Central.

The dog days of summer may soon be approaching, but Peak TV didn’t get the message. While August is generally viewed as the summer “dead zone” for film (although that perception is changing), it is simply yet another month for premieres of new television series and new seasons of old favorites. At least the heat will give most people an excuse to stay indoors and chip away at their DVRs while cranking up the AC.

Oh, 2011… it was the year that gave us “The Tree Of Life” and “Drive,” Charlie Sheen‘s meltdown, the iPhone 4s, Kate Middleton and Prince William‘s marriage, and the first meeting of Abbi and Ilana. The new trailer for “Broad City” season four is here, and we see how our two favorite besties first met.

“Broad City” has never been a show that was shy to tell viewers exactly how they feel on subjects, no matter how politically divisive. In fact, during last season, there was a brief appearance by Hillary Clinton, in which Ilana pledged her support for the presidential nominee. Well, we all know how that turned out, and as you might imagine, the ladies at “Broad City” aren’t too pleased with the outcome.

The new season of “Broad City” could not be arriving at a better time. It’s not that Illana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson are going to save the world, but we could certainly use a hilarious distraction from watching the shenanigans in the White House, and the duo will be helping everyone cap off the summer by doing just that.

Like it or not, you should probably get ready for four years of dissent. And yes, a lot of it is going to come from the entertainment industry in the form of jokes and jabs at President YouKnowHisNameNotGonnaSayItAloud. But some people are just damn angry and using that energy to create some laughs. We’re not sure if you’re following the Twitter accounts of the “Broad City” girls, Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, but they’re hopping mad today (well, ok, at least Glazer is).

YASSS KWEEN! Described as “sneak attack feminism” by the Wall Street Journal, “Broad City” is one of the most beloved shows on television, and it’s near and dear to us, too. Created by Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer (both UCB alum), and executive produced by Amy Poehler, what originally began as a a web series has really blown up for Comedy Central, becoming one of the channel’s flagship shows.

“Man Not Accepting Any More Television Recommendations At This Time,” went a particularly good Onion headline this week, and most of us can probably identify. An estimated 455 scripted shows aired on U.S. TV in 2016, and it’s likely to be even more than that in 2017, more than anyone could watch even if they devoted every waking hour (and beyond) to the idiot box.

We’ve already highlighted a good 250 hours or so in our 2017 TV Preview, but we only focused on new shows (or, in a couple of cases, a sequel, in “Top Of The Lake: China Girl,” or the decades-later follow-up to a beloved classic in “Twin Peaks”), whereas the year to come will see plenty more established hits returning, some of which took a year out last year (or even beyond that).

At the midway point of the year, we recently took a look at our favorite movies of 2016 so far. But unless you’re a total big-screen, 35mm purist, your favorite movies of the year only tell part of the story of your viewing —these days, the cultural conversation around quality filmed entertainment revolves just as much around TV.

Indeed, the era of peak TV continues, and barely a week goes by without a new show debuting on networks, cable channels or streaming services that demands attention.
