If you thought that ’70s-’80s country rockers Pure Prairie League were memorable only for a couple of hits (”Amie,” ”Let Me Love You Tonight”) and that faux-Rockwell cowboy on their album covers, well, you were right. Despite the presence of Vince Gill (who fronted them from 1978 to ’83), Best of Pure Prairie League is insurance-policy dull, and — this is scary — awfully similar to today’s Hot Country.

Warning: This story contains plots details from Monday night's episode of Better Call Saul, titled "Breaking Bad." Yeah, bitch! The RV rides again! Monday's episode of Better Call Saul — titled "Breaking Bad" as a wink not just to the mothership/ Krystal Ship but Breaking Bad's season 2 episode "Better Call Saul" — indeed delivered the guest stars that everyone had been waiting for since Saul co-creator Peter Gould teased their appearance before the final season began.

The contentious personal and professional history between Gus Fring and Hector Salamanca has never been a secret, but it was also never much more than a side plot back in the days of Breaking Bad: one of many that Walter White leveraged for either personal gain or sheer survival. But in its third season, Better Call Saul is plumbing new depths in the river of bad blood between the Los Pollos Hermanos proprietor and the Salamanca patriarch, and showing just how long and deep it runs.

Last week, Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) gave his protégé Jeffy a warning about getting greedy: "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered." It's good advice, not just for the aspiring con artist, but for the audience. Because after spending so much time with Jimmy McGill, seeing not just how but why he transformed into the scheming, shady Saul, haven't we all begun to hope that he might be redeemed? Maybe it's not too late for Saul Goodman to be, if not a good man, a better one.

At a time when many television show are actually "10 hour movies," EW remains infinitely grateful for the programs that remember the episode is the fundamental unit of television.

Though the machinations around the Waystar shareholders have never been the most interesting part of Succession, in this week's tense episode a meeting with a minted investor reveals the tangled feelings that have been fueling the show's epic battle between father and son. After the FBI raid on Waystar, the company's investors are understandably freaking out and Kendall (Jeremy Strong) is forced to join a company conference call hoping to calm the waters.

Her voice was a sultry squeak. Her cheeks were like two Parker House rolls, her mind like a third, and her kiss-puffed lips suggested heavy jabs of Novocain. Betty Boop was no chalk-pale collectible on a pedestal. A saucy, strutting vamp, she minced through her two-dimensional world with unfettered eroticism, flipping her skirt to expose her garter and batting her long lashes in coy provocation. She was chased, not chaste. When she burst onto the scene 65 years ago this week in the animated short ”Dizzy Dishes,” Betty was a real bitch: Artist Grim Natwick conceived her as a pooch, the fetching girlfriend of a canine named Bimbo.

Unlike her husband, Beyoncé prefers to address any controversies surrounding her in her music. Though she lost the Grammy for Album of the Year for a record fourth time last year, the superstar seems to be taking it in stride. At least that's what she sings on the Cowboy Carter track "Sweet Honey Buckin'." The genre-bending song opens with an interpolation of country legend Patsy Cline's immortal "I Fall to Pieces"
