Given that the period covered by this thread technically hasn't started yet, the only things that will be on this thread are things that are airing in Autumn, which for the most part haven't started yet. In other words, the chance that there would be something on here that you know and like is, basically, nil. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
Q4 hasn't even begun yet. Give it some time. There's bound to be quite a few license announcements during the next three months. |
