WHAT TO WATCH: THE REBOOT You TV fans are a powerful and influential bunch. You clamored for another season of Arrested Development. It happened. You lobbied for more episodes of The Comeback. You got ‘em. You begged Netflix for a sequel to Full House, and look, there’s Kimmy Gibbler! At , we take your feedback seriously too. Since I’ve become editor, there’s one sentiment I’ve heard from you repeatedly: You miss What to Watch, our popular TV-listing section. So I’m excited to tell you that WTW, as we call it in-house, is returning, penned by the clever, funny Bob’s Burgers superfan Ray Rahman. “There are a lot of reasons I’m excited for the return of WTW,” says Ray. “The section’s history, the Must Watches of the Week.

Check out Ray’s fine work on page 54. As we welcome back one EW institution, we are, unfortunately, saying goodbye to another. You may not recognize the name Lou Vogel—because he has never written a story for EW—but he is the reason that you have received your magazine for most of the past two decades.

He has worked for five editors, closed 1,220 issues, and troubleshot approximately one billion

problems with the wisdom and efficiency of Olivia Pope.* Someone will continue to do Lou’s job, of course, but Lou, himself, is irreplaceable. Let me know what you think of this week’s Mad Maxtravaganza by emailing me at editor@ew.com or tweeting me @HenryGoldblatt. Just another day at the office for executive editor Lou Vogel. Just kidding, he never wore boutonnieres to work. Or suits, for that matter.
HENRY GOLDBLATT *Like Olivia, Lou likes wine, so if you see the guy in the photo to the right, please buy him a drink. He really deserves it.
