The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/19/23

Paramount Plus and i are about to butt heads. I found out that they finally uploaded audio description for Everything Everywhere All At Once, which is a Showtime title. They still have not uploaded audio description for actual Showtime series that have known audio description. Winter is coming, you Paramount bitches. You can bother to do the work to get audio description for an A24 title, but not one of your own shows? That makes no sense. 15) TransAtlantic (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited Series I was on the fence after the first episode, but the second episode … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/19/23

Well, fans of SWAT have had a very confusing past couple of days. After cancelling the hit drama on Friday, and seeing a torrent of backlash for cancelling a show that has risen in ratings every season, CBS has reversed its decision and given SWATT a 7th season renewal. That renewal comes at the expense of Freshman drama East New York, which was looking good for renewal and instead got the boot. I did hear the major contention over ENY was streaming rights, as CBS wanted all seasons available on Paramount Plus, but they only have the rights to the … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/08/23

I celebrated Star Wars Day by not watching any Star Wars. Listen. i watched and reviewed all the titles last year before obi Wan dropped. I’m good to go for this year. Also, production on some shows continue to shut down due to the writers strike. The most recent shows affected are hacks, American Horror Story, and billions. 12) The power (Amazon) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not yet Renewed Amazon’s drama, which I love the concept, but not the execution, continues to be kind of a mess. It’s characters are spread out. Generally, the lead is the big name, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/04/23

Because I always accept feedback, I’ll lead today with a correction. Yesterday, I mentioned that The Masked Singer was available on FOX/Hulu, and I labeled it without audio description. That’s not entirely true. The audio description is available for those willing to watch it live, however that audio description does not translate to on demand airings after that, for example on hulu, where I watched the show. I think we’re all getting a little tired of audio description that doesn’t travel. 11) Night Court (NBC/Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes Everyone is excited about the possibility of being invited to an … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 04/28/23

Today, I do have a spot of TV News. Disney Plus, likely to the surprise of no one, cancelled their disappointing Willow TV series. It’s all about the casting, guys. And, also…. Bringing a property back from the 80’s that’s aimed at the younger crowd, who probably haven’t seen Willow, was maybe a mistake. 7) Will Trent (ABC/Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Someone had to lose today, so it might as well be one of the shows that did not provide audio description. This has very much been a recurring problem with Will Trent, which leads me to believe ABC … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup: 03/15/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/28/23

Definitely one of those days where my personal life took a chunk out of the day. But, I did watch a lot of half hour shows to inflate my numbers. So how does this random assortment of TV shows rank up against each other? 6) Velma (HBO MAX) English Audio description?: Yes It was just a pretty solid day, and Velma loses out once more. This was the episode where the band kids turn feral when not fed junk food. I have no idea what the writers were shooting for with that joke. Daphne is also learning more about her … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/28/23
