The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/18/23

Today is the day Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem hits Paramount Plus. I, of course, am wondering where mission Impossible Dead Reckoning and Indiana Jones are, but sure, let’s put an August movie up.

8) 8) Seaquest DSV (Peacock)

English Audio Description?: No

Status: Ended

The writing was all over the place, so it was harder to follow than usual without audio description. This one character kept telling the same story about knowing he was going to die as he saw a giant fish. The thing that made this episode unintentionally hilarious and awesome, is this exchange between a random military guy and Roy Scheider, where the military guy brags about having the buns of a sixteen year old, and implores Scheider to grab his ass to find out. I’ll admit, I laughed. This aging military boss walking around needing someone to grab his butt. It’s not the butt cheeks that I think he wants explored if you get what I’m putting down. First, it starts with an innocent groping of the buttocks, and then Seaquest has to move to Cinemax.

Episode Grade: B

7) Virgin River (Netflix)

English Audio Description?: Yes

As things in this show move at the pace of molasses, it bears pointing out that the entire show thus far has taken place during a 9 month span, easily measurable because Jack broke up with Charmaine in Season 1, and found out she was pregnant. It’s S5E2, and Charmaine still is pregnant.

Episode Grade: B

6) This Fool (Hulu)

English Audio Description?: Yes

A hilarious episode where Esperanza finds a way to work herself into the life of a wealthy older lady, who could use the support.

Episode Grade: A-

5) Friends (MAX)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status:

Ross and Rachel were broken up for a few hours, where in which Ross managed to hook up with someone else. I do tend to agree with Ross that they were on a break, and I found myself feeling sorry for Rachel, but agreeing with Ross. And it’s not like he’s actively cheating. He just happened to get lucky really fast when Rachel needed to push him away.

Episode Grade: A-

4) Good Omens (Amazon)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Not Yet Renewed

More angels and demons keep looking for Gabriel, but we get a tale about what really went down with Job.

Episode Grade: A-

3) The After Party (Apple Plus)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Not Yet Renewed

I’m leaning toward Sebastian, but this episode has Edgar’s mom talk the whole hour about how she thought she did it. And then the cops showed up.

Episode Grade: A-

2) Glamorous (Netflix)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Not Yet Renewed

A predictable season finale, but one that did a good job of wrapping everything up in case it is not renewed.

Episode Grade: A

1) Billions (Paramount Plus)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Final Season

Still having to catch up on Season 6. Prince puts his gang to the test, while he deals with his daughter yelling at the Governor. Meanwhile, Chuck faces off against a foe who is so good, he recruits her to replace Kate.
