Emmy Nominations: WTF
Rather than a big rant, which is really what I have on my Youtube, I figured let’s go in true Awards fashion and have our own little awards. So, here are my awards for the Emmy nominations. Biggest Surprises (That Got nominated) And the nominees are… Obi Wan Kenobi for Best Limited Series All The Extra White Lotus Nominees Beyond What Everyone Predicted (Drama Supporting Actor and Actress) jury Duty for Best Comedy Series Sharon Hogan for Best Actress In A Drama Lizzy Caplan for Fleischman Is In Trouble in Best Actresss in a Limited Series Kathryn Hahn for Tiny … Continue reading Emmy Nominations: WTF
The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/11/23
Emmy Nominations are being announced at 11:30EST this morning. may the odds be ever in your shows favor. Unless your show is Yellowstone. In which case, you’ll need much more than a Hunger Games quote for a show the Emmy voters continuously ignore. 11) American Born Chinese (Disney plus) English Audio Description: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed Perhaps this should have been the pilot. It goes much deeper into the other realm of Monkey business this show hints at. it’s such a weird show. I feel like it’s this great 10,000 piece puzzle that the picture looks great on the … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/11/23

Emmy Nominations and a SAG strike are both upon us. 8) The Crowded Room (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited Humor me. If there was no shooting at the beginning, and this was just Seyfried interrogating holland, and learning about his past, with holland occasionally being confused as to why he was there, would you still be watching this? Or, are you hoping the ending will make it worth it? Are you watching simply because the stars are good? Because, this show isn’t a slow burn. That would suggest the potential of fire within that burn. This has … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/10/23

What a disappointing day of TV. 13) The Crowded Room (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited So, the show is going to try and confuse you through poor direction and writing. Got it. If this turns out that he has a split personality disorder, and this is like identity, I’m calling it now. We open with a shooting, and then transition to Tom Holland sitting in an interrogation room, where he talks about his time in high school and buying weed. WHAT? Luckily, I love Holland, so I’ll give this one more episode, but that was an awful … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/09/23
The Perfect Find
Where I Watched it: Netflix English Audio Description provided by: Descriptive Video Works Narrated By Clement Chow Recently, I mentioned that I enjoy Gabrielle union. In my 40 Favorite Actors list, I had some honorable mentions, and Union was there. What I was going off was the idea that a certain person has the ability to draw me into a film, and how strong that pull is. Does it need to be combined with anyone else? Here, Union does have the pleasure of sharing the screen with Gina Torres, who I also adore, but this is Union’s film. Here we … Continue reading The Perfect Find

Remember, we are just a few days away from SAG-AFTRA going on strike. There are people currently still working, and those people would stop. I can’t think of that many things that wouldn’t be in reruns. Take The View for example. Whoopi is definitely a SAG member. They’ve dodged the WGAA strike, but they wouldn’t be able to dodge this one. And I highly doubt she’s the only member with a SAG card, as Sarah Haynes hosts The Chase. 13) Dinosaurs (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended The only thing worse than a clip show, is a season … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/08/23

Yesterday would have been a great day to watch Seven. Instead, we found out HBo was cancelling A Black Ladie’s Sketch Show. Also, apparently Crater has already been pulled from Disney Plus? Man that was fast. I might be the only person who liked it. 15) Blindspotting (Starz) English Audio Description?: no Status: Not Yet Rnewed Rumors of infidelity consumed this episode that was a bit hard to follow without audio description. Episode Grade: C+ 14) Futurama (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Reviving This month A bit hard to follow, but Leela and that space captain continue to have … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/07/23
The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/06/23
Sex Education is ending with Season 4. I’m OK with that. It’s a show about High Schoolers. one of their main cast is now Doctor Who. And, several key cast aren’t coming back for the final season. Plus, for a show that should be relatively easy to shoot, it’s taking a really long time for this season to roll out. 13) Cheers (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended Let me tell you. This episode was a nail biter. i thought Sam was going to throw away everything to be arm candy for a political candidate. I’m glad we … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/06/23
The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/05/23
By the way, there’s never been a better time to catch up on a show. If there’s something you didn’t watch initially, and were worried you’d never catch up on, the writers strike and possible actors strike will mean a lot of shows that would have returned in September, won’t be. 13) The Family Stallone (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Renewed It’s just not my type of show. Even with Sly in it. I just don’t get this brand of programming. So, while I’m not mad at this show, I’ll be freeing up a slot in my weekly … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/05/23
Infinity Pool
Where I Watched It: hulu English Audio Description?: No Well, it’s a horror film without audio description, so you can pretty much figure out what I’m going to say. It’s not that I have a problem with these films, it’s that I am not given enough information to determine if I have a problem. Last year, despite being offered two different options on how to watch Crimes of The Future, and having direct confirmation that audio description existed, neither the .99 cent rental I did on Apple or the eventual hulu drop offered AD for David Cronenberg’s well reviewed horror … Continue reading Infinity Pool

As yesterday was July 4th, you can probably guess that there wasn’t any big TV news. Biggest thing was that Daniel Radcliffe said he has no plans to appear in the Harry Potter TV series. I wouldn’t be too worried about that response. He is on miracle Workers, so he is comfortable doing TV. If the show is good, I’m sure he’d join it. 12) Dinosaurs (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended Robbie is left to babysit the baby. Hilarity ensues. Episode Grade: B- 11) Family Matters (MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Ended Urkel appearance. But, Laura … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/04/23
Maybe I Do
Where I Watched it: hulu English Audio Description?: No What do you get when you pair Richard Gere, Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon, William H. Macy, Ema Roberts, and Jake Lacy together in one film? You should get something amazing. Honestly, there is no real excuse. however, in the directorial debut from Michael Jacobs, who worked lot as a producer in the 90’s on shows like boy Meets World, we got the equivalent of a student film. i know this was probably made on favors and handshakes, and the bulk of the budget went to talent, but there’s no real excuse … Continue reading Maybe I Do
The Too Much TV Lineup: 07/03/23
We will not go quietly without a fight! Today, we celebrate,our Independence Day! If you have a little kid, show them that movie, and tell them it really happened, and that’s the reason we celebrate July 4th. Just as a little test. See if they believe you. Anyway, welcome to Earth! 16) The Adventures Of The Gummi Bears (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: no Status: Ended well, I promised myself ten episodes of this series I loved as a kid, and part of some of these nostalgic trips is that not every show is hitting like i expected. There are … Continue reading The Too Much TV Lineup: 07/03/23
Stan Lee
Where I Watched It: Disney Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes I have a theory about biopics and documentaries that involve the participation of the subject in a creative position. I think that they control the narrative, and that we get the version they want us to see. An example of this would be The Theory of Everything, which clearly wanted to push some boundaries regarding fidelity, but seemed to brush over the subject matter because it was shot while Stephen Hawking was still alive. There are so many parts in Stan lee where he’s clearly being interviewed,that I can … Continue reading Stan Lee
