Happy Juneteenth! I didn’t do a Diary yesterday, so today is a bit of an amalgamation of stuff from the last two days that had audio description. But I did notice the news that Comedy Central is rebooting Everybody Hates Chris, and also Ryan Murphy is trying to do a male Golden Girls at Hulu with Matt Bomer and Nathan Lane. I don’t understand it either. So let’s just tip my hat streamer to streamer: Netflix: In the last two days, I’ve watched another episode of Eric, which Paula Hoffman is doing an excellent job of narrating. I kind of … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 06/19/24

I started off with a little Bridgerton (Netflix) in my life. This was so odd for me, because this was Episode 45 of the series, and I chose to make this my listen while walking show. I was not ready for that sex scene. I think, this might be the best described sex scene… ever? Like, I’m trying to get my walk in, and I was slightly aroused. It was like listening to erotica, which is exactly what it should be, because people who watch this visually can be turned on, so why wouldn’t the blind audience have access to … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 06/16/24

I mentioned yesterday that I was pretty sure this would be the most boring category of the bunch.I think this is where The bear picks up some serious clout, as I’m not sure they have much realistic competition. 1) Ebon Moss-Bacharach (The Bear) Eban was so good in the second season as Ritchie, he went from my least favorite character, to my favorite on the series. His whole character setup, starting out as an obnoxious loser in the beginning of the first season, so where he is now, as a true adult, with a full understanding of what his craft … Continue reading Talking Emmys: Best Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series

I am now officially up to date on The Boys (Amazon), which has really decided to go hard on the political leanings this season. I noticed it in the first episode, but it is a constant part of the new season. I am personally not bothered, possibly tipping my hat there but I understand that if the MAGA crowd is jumping out of the show, it makes sense. The sad thing is that it is so heavy handed, I think it loses that audience, so it now speaks to one type of viewer. Perhaps before, like when Stormfront was a … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 06/15/24

Actor is less interesting to me, as I really think half the nominees will be from The Bear. Aside from that eventual travesty (I support Emmy voting changes that would add an Ensemble award, while also reducing the amount of nominees from any given show in a category. No show should run a whole category, or almost run it while we keep talking about peak TV), here’s some talk about Supporting Actress and who is headed for a nomination. 1) Hannah Einbinder (Hacks) Category fraud has helped Hannah get two previous nominations, as she really is a co-lead. Without some … Continue reading Talking Emmys: Best Supporting Actress In A comedy

Geek Girl (Netflix) made me feel SO old in the third episode. So, our protagonist is this fairly functional high schooler who will be a model at some point, and the third episode centered around her and Nat not being able to initially sign because Harriet’s stepmother has issues. Then, we set up for her dad’s 40th birthday party. And I just felt so old. I was like, wait… I’m older than her dad? I could have this stepmother character as my spouse and Harriet as my daughter? It’s amazing how life reminds you all the time that you are … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 06/14/24

Last year, this category was pretty stacked. it was so stacked that Emmy voters chose not to nominate both of the leads of Only Murders In The Building. This year, Jason Segal is out of competition with no new season of Shrinking, Bill Hader’s Barry is over, Jason Sudekis is out of Ted Lasso, and even nominees like Donald Glover and Atlanta aren’t there to pull votes. So, with the biggest new star studded comedy featuring female leads, can both Murders be in the Building? 1) Jeremy Alan White (The Bear) The literal most obvious nomination. Signed, sealed, delivered. I’m … Continue reading Talking Emmys: Best Actor In A Comedy Series

I suppose most people want to hear that I started the new season of The Boys (Amazon), which is one of my favorite shows. I’m sad there will only be one more season after this, but if they plan on killing Butcher, as things aren’t looking good here, then I can understand it. Antony Starr’s profile has also risen a lot, and I’m sure he wants to explore film. The new season immediately introduced a new member of the seven,who gets recruited in the first episode, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan shows up. I assume he has a bat somewhere. I’m … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 06/13/24
