*NSYNC is back! That’s your entire news bulletin at the top. I know it’s short, but, they did record a new song for the next Trolls movie. Also, apparently they made another Trolls movie. 11) Chip and Dale’s Rescue Rangers (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended I don’t expect linear storytelling, but to sudddenly watch an episode where I guess the Rangers are on another continent, and their aircraft is being worshipped by flightless Kiwi birds really made me think how the hell they got there. Then the whole episode becomes about Dale stubbing his toe and being … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/13/23

Here’s the thing I don’t get. The Drew Barrymore show is being picketed, because Drew decided to go back to work, but Whoopi is on the View, and obviously a member of SAG since she’s still acting. So, why is Whoopi allowed to work on a talk show but Drew is not? Make it make sense. 8) Designing Women (ABC) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended Someone really needs the Suzanne special touch when it comes to some beauty tips, or styling tips, but Delta Burke isn’t so sure she wants to give away trade secrets. Episode Grade: C+ 7) … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/12/23

Disney and Charter have kinda sorta figured their stuff out. So, Football fans probably enjoyed last nights game. 11) The Masked Singer (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Presumably Renewed I really wish that this show had audio description. I’ve never really gotten an idea of these elaborate costumes. It would also help with the visual cues in the clue packages the judges don’t immediately say out loud.That being said, while my ears didn’t direct me to the person, the second clue package they gave was so obvious. This was such a disappointing episode, because their idea of best performances … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/11/23

22 Years Later. I was in my first year of college, and before I left for class, the news had the first plane hit the World Trade Center tower. by the time I got to the school, kids were in the atrium watching the news, as the second plane had hit, and no one really knew what was happening. I went to class, but instead of learning math, we continued to watch the footage, and halfway through class, my teacher let us go. I had a second class, which I waited around for only to do basically the same thing. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/10/23
Love Again
Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description By Media Solutions Written By Andrea Breton Were you a big fan of you’ve Got Mail, or perhaps even The Shop Around The Corner? Did you ever sit around and say to yourself “this is too happy, I wish it were depressing.” Congrats, cause you won. They figured it out. It’s You’ve Got Mail, but sad. Priyanka Chopra Jonas plays a lovely children’s book illustrator who is enjoying lunch with her fiancé, when he walks outside and is Meet Joe Black’d in front of her. She takes some time for herself, while … Continue reading Love Again

I apparently need to binge Virgin River, because the internet can’t stop spoiling it for me. it’s been out for 3 days and has ten episodes. Everyone calm down. I know far too much about a season I haven’t watched yet. 11) Hey Dude (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended I’m just surprised this is available, but it could use audio description. They do head out onto paths. I’m not sure if this was on location or on set, but I’ll guess on location just to allow the horses the freedom to go somewhere. But, Buddy hates living … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/09/23
Hypnotic
Where I Watched It: Peacock English Audio Description?: Yes I think Robert Rodriguez has spent the last 13 years working toward trying to make his own inception. The once iconic director has lost a lot of luster recently, which is made very clear by the middling attention Hypnotic received, and the fact that he’s now remaking his own franchise with a new Spy Kids movie at Netflix later this month. We open on a detective (Affleck), who is in the middle of a therapy session. It seems to go well, and he leaves and meets up with his partner (JD … Continue reading Hypnotic
A Good Person
Where I Watched It: MGM Plus English Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated by: Leslie S. There’s a good film buried in A Good Person, which is the latest effort from Zach Braff. I was able to see that thanks to MGM Plus starting to offer a limited amount of titles with audio description. It’s always nice to see another streaming service move into the audio description community. A Good Person revolves around a young woman (Florence Pugh), whose life is thrown into total hell after a car accident that kills her best friend and her best friend’s fiancé. A … Continue reading A Good Person

I wonder what social media is going to do to all the actors who wrote in letters of support for Danny Masterson. It’s not a great look right now for several of his former cast mates, as well as some random names like Giovanni Ribisi and Jonathan Tucker. i think what is truly telling is that not all of the cast did write letters. Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, and Wilmer Valderrama apparently had better sense. 10) Justified (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Revival Recently Ended Season 3 finale. While there are always developments in the season finale, like the … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/08/23
Big George Foreman
Where i Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description?: Yes Narrated By: Elaine Joseph 2023 already had one solid boxing film with Creed 3. Having something like that in mind, fresh, going into Big George Foreman does not help this poorly directed biopic at all. George Tillman Jr has managed some interesting films in the past, like The Hate You Give, but I really don’t know how this film is this bad. George Foreman once again is beaten by Ali, who had a much more successful and higher quality biopic starring Will Smith, who went on to earn an Oscar nomination. … Continue reading Big George Foreman

I bet it just got a little more awkward for those of you rewatching That 70’s Show. Just a little bit? 10) Outlander (Starz) English Audio Description?: No Status: Final Season I’ve caught up with Season 7. Mistress Fraser is currently in jail for her supposed murder that I couldn’t tell had happened in Season 6, because there’s no audio description. There’s more context given here, and when the more likely murderer confesses, I understood more of it. But there were still lots of questions. Was she on a boat? Is that boat just not moving? Was that another time … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/07/23

Warner TV suspended it’s TV deals with a lot of the major showrunners they had deals with. This strike is just one big power play for the studios. I’m surprised they aren’t just going around cancelling a ton of shows. 11) Family Matters (MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Ended Continuing his reign of terror, Urkel is given the right to direct a video for the family he’s not a part of. This is still season 1, and a character who wasn’t even in the first couple episodes has already taken over the series. Episode Grade: C+ 10) Designing Women … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/06/23

NCIS has an Australian spinoff that is now slated to air in Primetime this fall. So, get ready for NCIS Sydney. No, I’m not joking. 10) 10) Justified (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Revival Just Ended This time it wasn’t just the shootouts that rendered this episode unwatchable, but also a car explosion. Did it kill anyone? It sounded like Neal McDonaugh was in a car, got out, and then it exploded. I would think he would be standing too close. But I don’t know, because this show is inaccessible. I’m just here to pick up as much of … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/05/23

The strike has been going on for a lot longer than the studios thought they would. That’s for sure. I haven’t seen another movie abandon ship from 2023 yet. Only movies that cost a lot of money are likely to do so. 14) Desperate Housewives (Hulu) English Audio Description: No Status: Ended I’m finally ten episodes in. And while there were moments I understood, there were plenty I did not. Lots of quiet scenes, or a scene like Felicity Huffman’s mom taking a break to watch her nanny try to get her kids to eat Brussel Sprouts. It sounded like … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/04/23
The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/03/23
I forgot Spectrum was Charter, so watching the people in my Facebook feed complaining about not being able to watch their games yesterday was fun. Hilariously, they all blamed Spectrum, and not ESPN. It’s sort of like the studios don’t realize how many people in this country are against them in the strike. They try to make it seem like an A-list actor wants more money, but most people know not to trust the CEO with the mega yacht. 11) Justified (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Revival Just Finished I’m close to finishing Season 3. This is a really … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/03/23
