The Too much TV Roundup- 07/02/23
i did pick up some wind on the internet that hulu was dropping Alaska Daily and The Company You Keep from the service. i haven’t checked. i watched all of Alaska Daily, so it disappeared from my queue, and since i removed The Company you Keep from my watch history when I stopped watching it, it stopped being suggested to me. Like I said, unconfirmed reports. 12) The idol (MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Rumored To Be Cancelled I went into this divisive show with a clear mind. I was ready to accept whatever I’d heard people thought this … Continue reading The Too much TV Roundup- 07/02/23

Extraction 2
Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description?: Yes I’m always upfront. I didn’t like the first Extraction. I think the second one is about on par for me with the first, so if you did like the first one, you will probably like the sequel. Honestly, the reviews haven’t been terrible, I just want more from a film. in a world where stunt coordinators are now directing films, we have the Extraction movies, which set up elaborate stunts meant to wow an audience. It’s not like I stopped enjoying action films when I lost my vision. I still enjoy … Continue reading Extraction 2
The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/01/23
Well, started off my morning with shitty news. Apple Plus has cancelled high Desert. honestly, I understand it. The pilot was off putting initially, but once you get past it, Patricia Arquette is doing a hell of a job keeping this thing together. And, Matt Dillon and Brad Garrett do a pretty decent job supporting her. I would have probably renewed this, and I’m sad to see this character go, but Apple released a lot of comedies in the Spring, and right after this was Platonic, which is a better show and really deserves a second season. Shrinking and The … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/01/23
Polite Society
Where I Watched it: Peacock English Audio Description?: Yes There’s always this murmur amongst the naysayers on the internet that our future is full of franchises, and slowly original ideas will die away. Honestly, and perhaps because I don’t spend a lot of time watching Bollywood, Polite Society was like being smacked in the face with the physical manifestation of originality. I’ll even admit, since I went into teh film cold, with no idea what it was about, that the beginning made me think i was in for some drivel. But I was happily wrong. What follows is a story … Continue reading Polite Society
The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/30/23
I always enjoy being able to drop some TV knowledge at the top. Freeform has cancelled The Watchful Eye and Single Drunk Female. Neither one of these had audio description. So, no love lost. 16) Clone High (MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Rumored To Have Been A Two Season Order This was tough to declare a loser on a day where I managed 16 different episodes, but as Clone High continues to underdeveloped the new characters and keep them as far away from their original non-clones as possible, it really makes you wonder what the point of all this … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/30/23
Living
Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description?: No we’re back here again, talking about another film that people who have the ability have decided for us is not something meant for blind people to see. So, they’ve chosen to not provide accessibility. This was a problem when i wanted to see this on VOD as well, so I’m not really even aware if this film ever has had an audio description track, so it’s possible that the blame here lies directly with the studio, and not Netflix. Either way, I’ll admit I fell asleep. Not for the whole film, … Continue reading Living
The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/29/23
After The Other Two dropped their big bomb yesterday, Reservation Dogs followed them with the exact same announcement, that the 3rd season will be it’s last. I remember when most shows wanted to hit season 4 because it put syndication into play, but with shows no longer running 22 episode seasons, there’s no need for that. Reservation Dogs would need nine seasons to get to that point. Also, ABC is sticking with Home Economics a little bit longer. A huge show of good faith, the network has extended the contracts for the cast while waiting decision on a renewal. I … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/29/23

Renfield
Where I Watched It?: Peacock English Audio Description?: Yes Nicolas Cage is having the time of his life right now. After playing himself last year in the surprisingly well done The unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent, he’s getting things off his bucket list. I know I can’t talk about that other one just yet, but he’s been wanting to play Dracula forever, and he might have wanted a dramatic turn, but he wouldn’t have had something fitting of his talent. Nicolas Cage has fans because no matter how shitty the film, he is always 100% committed to the role. He’s … Continue reading Renfield
The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/28/23
Before my TV news, I have to say that I always enjoy looking at the list of who has just been offered an Academy voting membership each year. To me, there’s always some hilarious comparison of someone who is obviously getting it really early, versus someone who has somehow flown under the water. You would think that considering neither of these actors were nominated last year that Bill Hader and Raul Castillo, for example, would not be getting offered membership in the same year. It makes it feel late for Hader, and early for Castillo. I always understand that those … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/28/23

And in the continuing saga of the paramount Purge, Paramount’s decision to murder inside Amy Schumer in cold blood has caused Comedy Central to scrap plans to have a cable run of the 5th season of the show. Wouldn’t it be crazy if this got en Emmy nomination in spite of all this disrespect? #8) Designing Women (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended The only guy of the group got himself into a little bit of trouble at the horse track. moral of this story, don’t go to the horse track. Episode Grade: B- 7) FUBAR (Netflix) English Audio … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/27/23

Paramount Plus is purging again. This time, I won’t be burned by saying everything has already been removed. The biggest cancellation/removal is Inside Amy Schumer. The rest are some documentaries, Paramount Plus original movies (Snow Day and Fantasy Football), and a bunch of Nickelodeon shows, only two of which I had even heard of. No 90’s content except Allegra’s Window sounded familiar. 10) Family Matters (MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Ended Nothing really was wrong here, except Laura sold the wrong quilt, and had to get it back. It was very dramatic. Episode Grade: B 9) 911 (Hulu) English … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/26/23
The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/25/23
I happened to stumble on a show I’ve been checking semi-frequently on audio description, and I found out that Yellowjackets (Season 1) now has AD. this was a show I had started, but didn’t finish. I’m starting over on it. See where it landed in the rankings below. 13) The Family Stallone (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Renewed If Sly wasn’t in this, I wouldn’t watch it. There was one with some of the members of Clint Eastwood’s family a while back, and i didn’t care, because the main reason wasn’t in it. Here, this is supposedly a … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/25/23
