I squeezed in eight shows for your enjoyment. How did they stack up? That’s why you’re here. That top spot could always change, and very likely did. 8) Acapulco (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes As Mossimo tries to work his way up at the hotel, he ends up being reminded that he’s just a pool boy. But, by the end, he might have just found his way up the ladder. Remember, I never watched Seaosn 1, so this was S1E3 for me. Episode Grade: C+ 7) Reservation Dogs (hulu) English Audio Description?: No Just for clarification, I decided to … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 18th

There are a ton of new movies releasing across various platforms this weekend, not to mention all the new shows. it’s going to get crammed in my schedule. 6) The Masked Singer (FOX) English Audio Description?: No Sometimes, i don’t even understand this series. Huge bonus to all the jokes that keep shaming Nick Cannon for getting random women pregnant at an exponential rate. He’s clearly taking his last name too seriously. While I appreciated the snark of the surviving contestant, the talent this episode was really weak. Episode Grade: C+ 5) Star Trek Lower Decks (Paramount Plus) English Audio … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 17th

So, i thought The Good Doctor had a new episode this week, but Hulu seems to think otherwise. I’ve been waiting to see it pop up, but I’ll just assume it got preempted somehow for some reason. One of these six shows is very much trying my patience. Will I finish the season? Will I even come back for more? 6) LaBrea (NBC/Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes Well, the writers room has officially scraped the bottom here.This episode was full of pissing me off moments, from Scott’s uncharacteristically awful decision at the end, to the fact that for some reason, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 17th

Seven shows enter the fray. One comes out on top. Which one will it be? 7) The Equalizer (CBS/Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes i always think it’s hilarious that of all the companies that could show their generosity and donate their funds to a good cause, that the audio description is sponsored by Toyota. I mean, of all the brands out there positioned to uniquely use audio description to boost their brand, you would think Toyota wouldn’t be the first thought. However, every week, I’m constantly reminded I can go places. Thanks, Toyota. In many ways, there’s something nice … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 15th

Well, I finished up a show for the season. Should provide for a different list come next Monday. 6) The Great North (FOX/Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Despite a solid joke about cleaning up the septic system and HVAC, what had two storylines ended up with its best parts being not related to the progression of either. That store in the mall presenting weird gravy flavors as some kind of ice cream was far more interesting than anything that happened in The Golden Monocle part. Kind of a swing and a miss, a rarity for this show. Episode Grade: B- … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 14th

Five shows enter the race. Who makes it to the top? That’s why you’re here. 5) Wedding Season (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Wedding Season is a Hulu original without audio description. I get to shows late, and this thing dropped in September. it’s November. So for about two months, the lack of audio description on an actual hulu title, has not bothered Hulu. When i called to ask about the audio description for this title, I was told it was a known issue. Based on its release date, it might be a known issue for two months. It really … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 13th

The saddest little day, and the smallest list. 3) Ghosts (CBS/Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Trying to pick a favorite today is really hard.All three shows I watched today were actually all on fire. This episode, centered around dumb deaths, showed us how two of the ghosts died, and why a filming crew is interested in filming the reenactments of their deaths. But… will they be taking liberties for dramatic effect? Episode Grade: A 2) Reboot (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Yup. This show is worth the hype. I’m not even sure in the section where they discussed reboots … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 12th

What a very bizarre day of television. Again, i clearly had a lot going on, so the list was limited to just five programs. 5) Tell Me Lies (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes I’ll admit that this college drama about a dead students, and frat boys behaving badly should be grabbing me a lot more than it is. Somehow, I’m less interested in these characters than i thought i would be. Even the girl who is the catalyst for this mystery, I didn’t get to connect enough with her in the pilot. It’s not bad, it just hasn’t hooked me … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 11th

Against all odds, in the middle of a Hurricane, I braved the watching of television just to bring you this roundup. Please, hold the applause. I’m just a man. 5) Star Trek lower Decks (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Some episodes work for me more than others. That’s really all I ahve to say, and is just true of most comedies. Sometimes, they are on fire, sometimes, the jokes seem meant for the people who didn’t laugh last episode. Episode Grade: B 4) Mike (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes I’m four episodes in, and I won’t know if I’ll … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 10th

Not happy with my local ABC affiliate. They bumped Tournament Of Champions, and instead of putting it on their backup station, they did nothing. No announcement at the time Jeopardy was supposed to be of where it would be, when it would air. No consideration at all. It would have taken them all of five seconds, and they couldn’t manage that. I’m watching news from a different channel now. 6) Miss Scarlet and the Duke (PBS) English Audio Description?: No I’ve heard this show has audio description. Maybe it’s just for its streaming launch wherever or whenever that is. In … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 9th

Literally. i must be the bad luck demon. I mentioned just yesterday in my last TV Lineup that I was giving my endorsement to The imperfects, and suggesting everyone watch since it had not been cancelled by Netflix yet, and it still had a shot. That same day, The imperfects got cancelled. It’s hard to watch new shows just die all the time. 7) Election Coverage (ABC) English Audio Description?: No This one is just for fun, but have we thought about having audio description on election results nights? So many times last night I wanted to hear actual numbers … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 8th

Well, the last normal TV watching day before election night takes over everyone’s televisions. And, now there’s a tropical storm headed my way. I feel like… God didn’t like how Florida voted. 7) Fire Country (CBS/Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Well, I didn’t even know there was a Stage 5. Most medical dramas suggest Stage 4 is the worst. But, our soon-to-die mom will leave behind turmoil, as Bodhie rescued a horse, but also got knocked out of his job for being a nice guy. The drama on this show is so confusing sometimes. Episode Grade: B 6) The … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 7th

Definitely had to get some real life stuff done today, but I still managed five shows for you. 5) Saturday Night live (Peacock) English Audio Description?: No I had no idea who the musical guest even was. That’s new for me. Like, sometimes I’ve heard the name before, but I am pretty sure I’ve never heard their music. This guy just fell from the sky. Anyway, the funniest things in this episode were Amy Schumer’s monologue and Weekend Update. Not a strong episode. It felt like sketches didn’t know when to end, so they just drew out forever and ever. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 6th

A busy day, but I’m never too busy to at least tell you my opinions on a few shows. 5) 5) Little Demon (FX/Hulu) English Audio description?: No In a very strong and tight race, the show that loses out first is the one without audio description. While this show has funny moments written in the dialogue that work no matter what, it has consistently proven that it also has the challenge of fighting numerous demon fight sequences. Someone is always getting murdered, obliterated, chopped, or otherwise maimed, and in those more action heavy sequences is how this actually potentially … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 5th

Let me tell you, that insistently fighting with streaming services for audio description feels very much like shouting at the wind, but i do intend on continuing to do it. Because, one day, the wind might just answer back. For those interested, I’m still in an over two month negotiation (it certainly feels like at this point) with Paramount Plus. Also, I reached out to Roku over their lack of audio description for Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, and was told it was not available at launch, but *should be* available at a *later date*, so, basically the most non … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- November 4th
