‘Ted’ Season 2 premiere | Peacock
Sit back and relax a little with Peacock’s stoner comedy series about the foul-mouthed, bong-toking bear who had his 15 minutes of fame, and now has to settle into life with the rest of us. It’s 1994, and Ted is living with 17-year-old John Bennet in working-class Boston, doing what he does best: being a bad influence.
With John now in his senior year of high school, he needs his Thunder Buddy more than ever. Cousin Blaire is around to care for the family and to stir up John’s dad, Matty, with her politics. But to see what kind of antics Ted gets up to this season, you’ll just have to watch along and find out!

‘The Dinosaurs’ series premiere | Netflix
As a millennial, I can’t deny that this new documentary series from Netflix hits a lot of the right notes. A show about dinosaurs, produced by Steven Spielberg and narrated by Morgan Freeman? I’m immediately intrigued. “The Dinosaurs” spans a saga hundreds of millions of years in the making.
The Dinosaurs
From the first dinosaurs to the last, this epic documentary series examines their 165 million years on Earth and the forces that shaped their evolution.
The show will introduce viewers to the proto-dinosaur Maraschus, who was an ancestor to the thundering giants that came later. The series will revive iconic dinosaurs like Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus, and of course, Tyrannosaurus rex. See these beloved monsters from an age long past like never before.
