If you're currently in a TV rut, bingeing reruns while waiting for your favourite shows to return from the long off season, the end is in sight — well, at least for the popaholics out there. The beloved medical mystery/dermatological investigative series Dr. Pimple Popper is set to return with new episodes the first week of January, and these new, never-before-seen cases live up to the warning of "viewer discretion advised."
According to TLC, the Emmy-winning series will return to its regular Thursday 9 p.m. slot on January 2nd, and what better New Year's resolution than a commitment to a weekly education from Dr. Sandra Lee herself? Fans will recall the show's general format, but for anyone new: Dr. Pimple Popper follows the practice of LA-based surgical dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee as she treats patients with life-inhibiting skin conditions. That can mean everything from 50-year-old blackheads to bulging, grapefruit-shaped lipomas and full-body rashes — and that just slices the surface of the first three seasons.
