Spotted. Dumpster fire of a streaming service cancels popular show. ZOZO, RIP, Gossip Girl. I didn’t watch much TV yesterday. Sorry. 4) his Dark Materials (HBo MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes I’m at the point where after a few episodes into the third season, I’m not even sure I care if I finish. Perhaps if I had read Phillip Pullman’s books, but I’m so far behind on TV, and this show is dumping religious allegories on me, talking about whether or not Ruth Wilson’s character can be let into the Heaven stand in, and how the original creator isn’t even … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/19/23

Well, this was certainly not a boring day of shows. Divisive? Perhaps. Let’s travel down this rabbit hole and see which show rose to the top. it just might surprise you. 6) Titans (HBo MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes You know, I’m not all about predictability, and this thing with Connor being lured into the dark side just isn’t working for me. Also, the snake ate someone’s face off? Are we trying to make sure parents don’t let their kids watch. I mean, not the first violent thing to happen, but i still remember seeing my first character with a … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/18/23

I managed more TV than I thought i would yesterday, so that was nice. Pro Tip: If you’re doing your morning exercise and trying to catch up on a show, don’t make it From Scratch. I felt so weird trying to exercise and not cry. The English (Amazon) English Audio Description?: Yes I’m actually surprised Everytime I finish an episode and there seems to be one more. I’m now at that point where I think this might have been too long for its own good, but would ahve made a killer movie. Episode Grade: B- 7) Welcome To Chippendales (Hulu) … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/17/22

Ten shows enter the Thunderdome. One will prevail. 10) Guillermo Del Toro’s Bullshit English Audio Description?: Yes Earlier on in the series I was making excuses for this. It’s a horror series. It’s supposed to be fucked up. But the acting is pretty awful across the board, which there is no excuse. Mia Goth is out there getting awards for pearl. you can act and be in a horror film. But, I suppose at least thank god there wasn’t a decapitated child’s head baking in an oven… Episode Grade: C- 9) Inside Man (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes The second … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/16/23

A couple of shows, way less than Saturday, but also squeezed a movie in there. So, let’s see who landed on top. Even I don’t know as I’m writing this sentence who will arrive at the top. I’m as immersed in the anticipation as you are. We are equally anxious. 8) Inside Man (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes I’ll say that i was probably left coldest by this limited series where Stanley Tucci is trying to be put to death for his wife’s murder, despite the very likelihood he didn’t do it. I know I’m supposed to care, but if … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/14/23

I think I might have actually watched too much television. 15) The Sex lives Of College Girls (HBo MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes When you watch 15 different TV shows, you are bound to have erased one from your memory. I remember there being one of the girls trying to get into a hard class, and fighting with her mom on a call home about her not believing she could pass that class. The rest of this is a blur. Episode Grade: B- 14) Echo 3 (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes So, I mentioned at about this grade level … Continue reading The Way Too Much TV Roundup- 01/14/23

I cranked out some episodes yesterday, that was the goal. Who wound up on top? how many had audio description? These are the big questions. 8) The Mosquito Coast (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Eight episodes and a movie, and I can’t remember this episode at all. It has escaped my memory, something The Mosquito Coast does frequently if I’m being honest. The season opener was great, and I had hopes for season two, but this has been pretty bland. Episode Grade: C+ 7) Down To Earth With Zac Efron (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Listen… there was some … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/13/23

Well, it was another day of five shows. Seems to be my average when I’m working. 5) The Rookie: Feds (ABC/Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Nash’s spinoff went back into it’s own thing, which involved Simone being tasked with protecting a former lover turned politician. Will her feelings cloud her judgment? Is there anything this woman didn’t do before becoming an FBI agent? Will every single task she ever performs be linked to her past as a guidance counselor? Are we underestimating our guidance counselors? Should they all be immediately admitted to Quantico? is this an untapped resource? Episode Grade: … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/12/23

Again, still busy now that I ahve a work schedule and the holidays are behind me. So, five shows today. 5) The English (Amazon) English Audio Description?: Yes Not that this episode was bad, but when you only watch 5 things, it’s the small details that matter. This episode featured the least amount of Emily Blunt, which is basically the reason to watch this show. Sure, I’ve been drawn into this world a bit, but it’s kind of how I feel about 1923 and the episodes where Ford and Mirren barely exist. Episode Grade: B+ 4) The Rookie (ABC/Hulu) English … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/11/23

Welcome back to a world of television, and i have a few more minutes to write this today, so here we go. 6) His Dark Materials (HBo MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes I’ll admit, sometimes the allegories that Phillip Pullman used in his novels went a bit above my head, but in episode two of the final season, they just come right out. Lots of talk about whether or not she is or isn’t the daughter of Eve, and it pulls you back into that part of the story. but, two episodes in, and i still feel like I’m just … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/10/23

A little busier than usual yesterday, so 5 shows and a movie. It’s a little like Community, if yahoo hadn’t saved it. 5) National Treasure: Edge Of History (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Dammit. Catherine Zeta jones. You have an Oscar. Start acting like you do. Honestly, i didn’t hate this show. Our lead is plucky, and the complete opposite of nicolas Cage, and her best friend is fun. But when she sits down at the computer in this demeaningly stupid sequence, where she’s like “Do you know how many free masons there are in this state?” And like … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/08/23

Well, this is one of those days. Lots of shows. I’m trying to get to see some shows because I’m doing my Best of 2022 lists, and there are a few titles I still need to see. So, today I only watched 1 film, and a lot of TV. 9) His Dark Materials (HBo MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes It’s been such a long time since season 2, that I had a hard time remembering what the hell was going on. i think that was really the only real problem. Sometimes, when you have these massive casts, in these big … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/07/23

I was trying to watch as many shows as kevin McCarthy needed rounds to become speaker, and i fell short. it took him 15 rounds, and I only managed 11 shows. 11) Irreverent (Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes I need to stop watching random things on peacock. After the abysmal cop drama from a few weeks back, I checked this off my list. i remember, when TV Land was a thing, there was a sitcom on there about a guy who had to pretend he was a reverend. That reminded me so much of this show, except there’s a mob … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/06/23

Starting to get back into work, but I still knocked out seven shows. This will likely not be the case next week. 7) Tales Of The Jedi (Disney plus) English Audio Description?: Yes I just didn’t like Choice. I mean, it was weird hearing someone other than Sam Jackson playing Mace Windu, but it also just felt like an incomplete story, or tale. It felt like a deleted scene from a DVD release of one of the prequel films. Compared to the other two, which at under 15 minutes already struggle to have a beginning, middle, and end, this one … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/05/23

Welcome back. Another rejuvenating list. I actually basically enjoyed everything I watched on some level. So, with 7 shows in play, who ended up on top? 7) Down To Earth With Zac Efron (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Zac went into how animal rescues try and save these creatures when things like wildfires occur and devastate their natural habitat. We took a trip to Kangaroo island, which sadly is not a Planet Of THe Apes style society where Kangaroo’s have taken over and started their own form of society. I mean, they tried, but nobody really gives any kind of … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 01/04/23
