I know nothing about this except the attached picture, and that it is supposed to be released in June 2018.

 

This one won't be for me...I'm not a big TV person so I know a lot of the references will be lost on me. (I already don't know two of the shows in this picture!) But I'm sure a lot of people will love this!

...Well, i am a big TV person. I'm watching Alien: Directors Cut on TV as i am posting this...I go back and forth...TV, post, TV, post...

 

...But I just looked at the pic you posted and guess what....I don't know what TV series those are referencing...Like you I don't think this one is for me either...

 

...It would probably be like the Golden Age of Hollywood Tarot that I was so excited about getting but once I got it fouind it a great disappointment...

 

...Now, what am I going to have for lunch/brunch...hmm

Clockwise from the top left; "Breaking Bad", "The Addams Family" and "Mork & Mindy".

 

I would guess from the context, that "The Addams Family" probably references the old 1964-1966 series. (The remake from the '90's wasn't near as good, IMO.)

 

"Mork & Mindy" of course gave Robin Williams his big break playing the alien Mork who is befriended by Mindy. And "Breaking Bad" is a more recent show ('08-'13) about a chemistry teacher who finds he has cancer and turns to making drugs as a way to make money.

Ha, this made me feel better, that you ARE a TV person and you still didn't get them! Hope you're enjoying your lunch :)

Oh, Breaking Bad! I knew Addams Family and Mork & Mindy, although I had some help with the latter as well.

 

Just showed the picture to my husband- he thinks the Magician from the box cover is Dexter.

I think the Magician is Patrick Jane from The Mentalist. His outfit in the card is similar to what he wears here:

I kinda like this one. But I hope that they'd also release a Trainwreck Reality Show Tarot that features high-quality TV shows of impeccable taste and sublime artistry, like Botched, Hoarders, Jerry Springer (❤), Love Island, etc.

I'm sure the Magician is Patrick Jane. I watched the first season of The Mentalist, and the Magician is a perfect fit for his persona, aside from that outfit. Also, one can see that the character in the Tarot box holds one of those yellow numbered evidence markers that investigators put in crime scenes. It's him. :)

Lol. Well I recognized Mork and Mindy by what they are wearing and the egg sun. Who's the guy at the top grimly mixing stuff?

I think that's Walter White, the anti-hero of Breaking Bad. He's a chemist/teacher who turned to manufacturing high-quality illegal drugs. He's a baddie, so I hope they didn't make him Temperance. He's very much unbalanced, so yeah.

Tbh tho, I was thinking about how this deck would hold up 20, 30 years from now. Would the TV series that are shown in the cards turn into memorable classics or would they just become obscure, nearly-forgotten shows that at best, have some cult followers? I love LoS's offerings and last year has been particularly fruitful for them, but I may have to pass on this one.

Yup, it's Patrick Jayne. I watched the first season of The Mentalist a long, long time ago and the drawing of the smiley in red behind him? That was what the killer left behind on one of the walls in his family home. (It was his arc, I suspect. Trying to find the man who took his family from him.)

The third one is the Moon card, showing Detective Cooper and Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks.

I surmise that the fifth pic shows the card back.

It's something sci-fi - Serenity or Firefly maybe?

The Star does depict Jewel Staite and the Serenity ship from Firefly. Great catch, Starlight! :D

Oh yay!

 

I got to the Firefly series late - such a pity it got axed. It was good.

The Moon is definitely Twin Peaks, The Lovers is Mork and Mindy (just look at the costumes!) while The Emperor is House of Cards. 5 if Wands is Spartacus while 9 of Wands is Band of Brothers. Just caught up in a study group presently, but I'll post and confirm more later. :)
