TV Shows Watched: Time Bandits: S1E10 (Apple plus) with audio description, Sunny: S1E8 (Apple plus) with audio description, and Kite Man: Hell Yeah! (MAX) with audio description. Podcasts: The Movies That Made Me (with Giovanni Ribisi) YouTube: None Movies: None So, breaking away from my three day rant, and moving back into the specifics. I truly didn’t fully understand the whole giant thing in Time Bandits.So, what I’m picking up on is that the bandits arrived, and found their lost member living in a little home with (I’ll leave that part out because of spoilers), and at the end of … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 08/22/24

This is almost pointless. But, I didn’t want to not do one. I think this is the least amount of television I’ve watched in a single day ie day. I think maybe I’ve come close before, or I’m forgetting another day or something, but I watched one show. I think that makes me decidedly too normal, and the bait here is do I talk about that one show, or not? TV Show Watched: Time Bandits: S1E9 (Apple plus) with audio description. So, Time bandits is OK. Not just is the audio description fine, but the show isn’t blowing my mind. … Continue reading The Smallest Screen Diaries- 08/21/24

TV News: big news. Disney officially cancelled The Acolyte, which so many of their shows just get these vague “maybe” endings where you might see something out of them later, but they don’t typically close the door on too many Star Wars or Marvel content. Yes, The Bad Batch now has a definitive ending, but even though The Mandalorian is transferring to its own film, there’s no specific determination that no more episodic versions of that could be in its long term future. TV Shows Watched: The Ark: S2E4 (Peacock) with audio description and unstable: S2E9 (Netflix) with audio description. … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 08/20/24

TV News: I didn’t even get a chance to dive into it, but I saw that Danielle Fishel (Boy Meets World) announced she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Boy Meets World was such a centerpiece of my childhood, and Topanga is a huge part of that. Even though her career has been limited following the show, I’m still a fan. I wish her a speedy and full recovery, and cancer sucks. Real talk. I mentioned last week that because I work in education (shockingly, ranting on a blog does not pay the bills), the first couple weeks and the … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 08/19/24

And, in somewhat fun news, Homicide: life on The Streets makes its streaming debut this week on peacock.

Sad TV News: TV Show Cancellations. Amazon brought the axe down on My Lady Jane after just one season. I thought that show had just really started to discover itself in the back half of the season, but I’m sure a lot of people just didn’t give it the time. Also, Wicked Tuna was cancelled, which feels like that show was on forever. And Netflix cancelled something called “Buying Beverly Hills”, which apparently has two seasons. TV Shows: Bel Air: S3E2 (peacock) with audio description, The GOAT: Season Finale (Amazon) with audio description, Unstable: S2E5 (Netflix) with audio description,and 911: … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 08/17/24

TV News: You will be forgiven for not remembering either of these shows since their second seasons took *forever*, but both The Old Man (FX/Hulu) and Tulsa King (Paramount Plus) will be airing their second seasons in September. I believe The Old Man was conceived as a 2 season show, but nowadays that means nothing. Shogun was a limited series until FX gave it a 2 season renewal.

I’m hearing some good early buzz about Alien Romulus. keeping in mind, a lot of people did like the other films recently, and have really only backtracked as time has progressed. Prometheus has a 73% on Rotten Tomatoes, while Alien Covenant has a 65%. Alien Romulus currently has an 83%, which is considerably higher than the 56% of Alien Resurrection, and the 48% of Alien 3, however falls short of definitely short of alien and Aliens. So, take it for what it’s worth. TV Shows Watched: Bad Monkey: S1E1 (Apple plus) with audio description by Laura Post, Time Bandits: S1E7 … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 08/14/24

In TV news, D23 is happening right now, so we are getting a ton of random information. I kinda just wanted to talk about how The Rookie is losing a cast member, but then D23 announces another season of What If, that Daredevil” Born Again will start filming its second season soon, Andor is adding some cast, the next Star Wars show is Skeleton Crew, there’s an Inside Out show coming to Disney Plus, and of course an Incredibles 3.

So, Dexter is coming back from the dead. Starved for content, Showtime is apparently turning the Dexter franchise into Power or FBI with tons of spinoffs to keep the series going. I was already aware of a series in the works that explores Dexter’s younger years, with a new actor playing a young Dexter, as well as a Trinity killer prequel series in the works, but now they’ve just flat out brought Dexter back from the dead in dexter: Resurrection, where Michael C. Hall will reprise his role. There were rumors they were planning multiple Billions spinoffs, but I haven’t … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 08/09/24

In the news, well, that debate that Trump was trying to make happen on FOX News has been abandoned, and he has recommitted to the ABC debate. Of course, there’s still time. I project, they will be debating Sept. 18th on Twitch moderated by top gamers. That feels oddly on brand for this year.
