Check out our weekly guide to TV this week, and make sure you’re catching the big premieres, crucial episodes and the stuff you won’t admit you watch when no one’s looking.
Any seasoned Real Housewives pro knows the group trips are where all the good stuff goes down. Every screaming fight on a junk boat or Scary Island is our reward for sitting through all those hours of remodeling homes, charity dinners and product launches. The New York ladies are jetsetting to Mexico for a Skinnygirl branded excursion to the source of the ready-to-drink cocktail’s tequila. Luckily, Sonja and Ramona will be tagging along to terrorize the tequila tour Wednesday at 9 p.m. Eastern on Bravo.
If you missed the premiere of Bob the Drag Queen’s stand-up special Suspiciously Large Woman on Sunday, there’s an encore presentation Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern on Logo.
Don’t dismiss Syfy’s Live From Comic Con Thursday through Saturday at 11 p.m. Eastern as a bunch of geeky drivel. I mean, have you seen the Sexy Nerd Project? The Gay Comic Geek? Trust us, you’ll have a whole new appreciation for spandex. Catch up with all the costumes, comics and culture-shaking announcements going down at the con with these nightly specials.
Game of Thrones fans should ready themselves for a potentially heart-melting reunion Sunday at 9 p.m. Eastern on HBO. No spoilers, but one of the involved may be in touch with the ground, smell like it sounds, straddle the line in discord and rhyme, mouth is alive with juices like wine.
The best part of the TV golden age we are currently enjoying is the surplus of brilliant, unique creator-driven projects like HBO’s Insecure. Issa Rae’s excellent comedy is back for a second season Sunday at 10:30 p.m. Eastern.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is wrong, anti-trans agenda already harming Texas’ economy
ICYMI: American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, IBM all call for end to anti-LGBTQ agenda by Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick
NEW YORK – GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, today called on media to correct the record after Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick made misleading statements this afternoon that the Texas economy has not and would not be impacted if anti-transgender legislation is passed during a “special discrimination session” that’s expected to begin tomorrow. Patrick made the remarks during a policy orientation event hosted by the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

In his remarks, Patrick neglected to mention that cities like San Antonio have already lost conventions and millions of dollars in city revenue because of the ongoing and harmful anti-trans debate in the state. Further, Lt. Gov. Patrick today inaccurately portrayed North Carolina’s economy to be stable following the passage of the anti-transgender HB2, which caused an economic panic for North Carolina’s economy.
The nation’s top corporations, including IBM, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and AT&T, all have opposed Texas’ so-called “bathroom bill.” Not only has a so-called “bathroom bill” been opposed by the majority of Texans, but it could drain about $3 billion from the state’s economy while also putting the safety of transgender Texans in jeopardy. Even the Speaker of the Texas House, a Republican, voiced his opposition to the anti-trans bills – saying he was “disgusted by all this” and did not want “a suicide of a single Texan on [his] hands.”
