It it looking like the solution to paying actors more isn’t for people in the boardrooms to not continue to make absurd amounts of money in non-creative positions managing creativity, instead the solution is to kill that creativity. Another show has gotten the axe, as Hallmark has cancelled their Yellowstone knockoff Ride after one season. Will more cancellations be coming? Most definitely my dude.

Episode Grade: A-

3) Dreaming Whilst Black (Paramount plus)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Not yet Renewed

One of the smartest new shows on the block, I just noticed it was produced by A24. The episode deals with compromising, while one has to consider shelving his script because the white producers don’t understand what makes people want to watch it, and instead make a more typical black movie, the other is working in a place where her tokenism is amplified first by a DEI seminar where she makes the white people cry, and is later asked to apologize for her companies bizarre commercial on slavery. The writing on this episode was so perfect, and after a birth episode I wasn’t prepared for, I saw this show really regain its voice in a compelling way.

Episode Grade: A

i really enjoyed this episode that actually tackled the science between how a toon bounces back from so many things that should actually kill them.

7) celebrity Jeopardy (Hulu)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Unknown

They had to put Rachel Dratch against Macaulay Culkin. I didn’t even know who the third person was (a wrestler), but she should deeply reconsider being on Jeopardy. I really wanted Culkin to win, but I also really love Dratch. Gaaaaaaah!

Episode Grade: B+

8) The Daily Show (Paramount Plus)

English Audio Description?: No

Status: Trying To Figure Out A Permanent Host

Leslie Jones started out by co-hosting with jordan Klepper. The best part was Leslie getting mad over Andre 3000’s new album. There was a sketch that didn’t work for me as Leslie went out and asked people on the street to say nice things about controversial figures, except there’s no audio description, and most of them didn’t have their name said. Though, I know Marjorie Taylor Green and Ivanka Trump were, so I got the gist. Finally, an interview with Taika Waititi who was promoting his new film Next Goal Wins.

Episode Grade: B
