The Too Much TV Roundup- 03/04/23

John Stark

in other news…. Why did Hulu make this the last season of Anamaniacs? That also means Pinky and the Brain are going away again. 5) South Park (Comedy/HBo MAX) English Audio Description?: No Believe me. It’s as weird as it is for me as it is for you to see this ranked last for the day. But, maybe I missed what the joke was actually about… because I don’t believe it was really about Bidets or big toilet paper. This one went way over my head. If it was just about that, Parker and Stone have way too much shit … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 03/04/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 03/02/23

I did notice that Paramount Plus announced that the next season of Star Trek Discovery will be its last. So, with Picard in its final season, and Discovery about to end, that will leave them with just Strange Worlds and the two animated offerings. 8) Night Court (NBC/Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes This had one good episode a few weeks back, and now has once again devolved into… I don’t know. but, this is why people don’t make multi-cams anymore. The Bailiff is funny at times, because the actress seems always willing to commit to whatever is thrown her way. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 03/02/23

Today marked the return of The Mandalorian! It feels like it’s been so long. But, where did it rank in the conglomeration of shows? 6) The Ark (Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes We only have 4 days of water. Thank God there’s a comet full of ice headed straight for it. And because our audience has seen Armageddon, they can suspend disbelief and let us catch the comet so we can steal the ice and have water! Episode Grade: C+ 5) That 90’s Show (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes As cool as it was to see Donna return, and an … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 03/01/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/28/23

John Stark

Definitely one of those days where my personal life took a chunk out of the day. But, I did watch a lot of half hour shows to inflate my numbers. So how does this random assortment of TV shows rank up against each other? 6) Velma (HBO MAX) English Audio description?: Yes It was just a pretty solid day, and Velma loses out once more. This was the episode where the band kids turn feral when not fed junk food. I have no idea what the writers were shooting for with that joke. Daphne is also learning more about her … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/28/23

The Too Much TV Round Up- 02/27/23

John Stark

Well, I saw the news that Damien Lewis is returning to Billions next season. One season without him, and I think they could see that it was a mistake to have moved him out of the show. My question now is, would I be able to jump back in starting with Season 7, or do I really have to watch an Axe-less Season 6? Anyway, here’s the rundown. 6) Wolf Pack (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Oh Sweet Jesus In A Satanic Temple What hath hell wrought? The fuck happened to this audio description? Episode 4 has the weirdest and … Continue reading The Too Much TV Round Up- 02/27/23

Knocked out some titles today. Here are my thoughts. 7) Saturday Night Live (NBC/Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes Aside from a brilliant Cologuard sketch, I wasn’t a fan of most of the rest of the show. I didn’t think Woody’s monologue was funny, that was James Austin Johnson’s least interesting sketch as Trump, and the only other strong thing were some really good zingers during Weekend Update. Episode Grade: B- 6) Animal Control (FOX/Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Based on the fact that this show deals a lot with animals that don’t speak, and the havoc they cause, this show … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/26/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/25/23

John Stark

I almost finished a fifth show, but I got busy. That will be an easy one to knock off for tomorrow’s list, but I had a busier than usual Saturday. In my real life, I work in live theatre, so I balance my life also around rehearsals and shows and such. I live, breathe, and sleep this industry. 4) Wu Tang: An American Saga (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes In its final season, the clan has gotten pretty big, and RZA is feeling the weight of their rise to fame as their label expects projects, as do the fans, who … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/25/23

Any big TV news? Well, I did notice a casting announcement for The umbrella Academy that mentioned next season is its last. i didn’t know that, but I feel like all the great shows are ending, so that feels right. 8) Chicago Party Aunt (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes She wants to be hot again. This show is marginally funny at times. That’s the only reason I’m still here. Episode Grade: B- 7) The Rookie Feds (ABC/Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes The first season of the Rookie, nolan never felt in control. For some reason, it feels like Simone is … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/24/23

Big TV News! ABC is (finally) letting The Goldbergs go at the end of their current season. The show, which has had several cast departures over the years already, will finally get to rest. And in a bit more shocking news, HBO has announced that the upcoming season of Succession will be its last. The showrunner for Succession has always hinted at this show having a limited life cycle, but I’ll admit that this still feels early. But, it’ll be the first time that I don’t call out WBD, because I really do believe this is Jesse Armstrong’s decision. Ozark … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/23/23

I didn’t see any major cancellations, although I did see some huge ratings for not Dead yet on ABC. I feel like that’s going to be bad news for home Economics, though I hope it leads to ABC finally allowing themselves to part ways with The Goldbergs. What decade is that show even in anymore? At a certain point, they’re going to have to start their episodes with “Back in the 90’s”…. 6) Dead To Me (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Maybe it’s just me, but i wanted more from the series finale. I wanted more from the third season. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/22/23

To the likely shock of no one, HBo MAX cancelled another show. So, if you were a fan of Southside, sorry. It’s dead now. It’s in TV heaven. And considering how they love to purge content, if you haven’t finished Southside yet, I’d binge that shit immediately if you are at all interested. I’m not, but you might be. like, call in sick. Trust me, from the guy who stupidly thought he’d be able to finish Let THe Right One In the day after it was cancelled. These streamers no longer give fucks. No more to give. 7) 7) The … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/21/23

I had a really interesting experience that I hope to share with everyone soon, when it reaches its conclusion. But, people in the industry do listen to what I say/write, so I just have to keep speaking as loud as possible to advocate for accessibility. 7) Mayor Of Kings Town (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Jeremy Renner’s dark crime drama continues to be the least interesting thing that Taylor Sheridan is making. And while there’s a smidge of Dianne Wiest, I’m not getting enough Wiest! Doesn’t she have two Oscars? Did I fever dream that? She should be the … Continue reading The Too much TV Roundup- 02/20/23

John Stark

After the *schocking* news that rocked the TV world, that Paramount Plus would not be moving forward with the massive hit Blood and Treasure, which floored the whole industry, i somehow gathered myself and watched some shows. Who would have thought that delaying a sho multiple years in between seasons and then shifting the series from CBS to Paramount Plus would have an effect on ratings? No one could have possibly foreseen that. No one. As a side note, I’m available to run Paramount Plus if they feel like they need some help. 7) The Arc (Syfy/Peacock) English Audio Description?: … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/19/23

I technically watched three movies today, though one wasn’t feature length. And 8 episodes. So there ya go. 8) The Watchful eye (Freeform/Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Really, this show was borderline unwatchable without audio description. It opens up in the pilot and for the first few minutes, something is happening, but there is no audio description, and no one is talking. That’s not the only time that tactic is used in this show. Sadly, I got the hint that if this did have audio description I would watch it. So, if you’re one of my sighted readers, I’ll let … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/18/23

The Too Much TV Rounup- 02/17/23

John Stark

Eight programs. I also watched two films, but I managed eight programs including the feature length final episode of Madoff. So, more like 7 episodes and 3 films. 8) How I Met Your Father? (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes “Did you really just dump shrimp into a pool where a woman is about to give birth?” Did i really quit watching this show? Yes. yes I am. Episode Grade: C- 7) Chicago Party Aunt (Netflix) English Audio Description: Yes I’ll just say i wasn’t a fan of the third episode of the new season. And I’ll leave it at that. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Rounup- 02/17/23
