15 Twitter Personalities We Love Watching TV With

Our excitement about the fall TV lineup doesn't end with what's happening on the small screen.

Thanks to "Black Twitter" we always have a steady stream of brilliantly amusing commentary on everything from Scandal to Sleepy Hollow. See why all-star TV recappers like Retta, Roland Smith, Awesomely Luvvie, and more, make watching TV so darn fun.
