The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/25/23

I did not plan this today. But i watched a new episode of Citadel the same day Amazon greenlit a second season. So that is my big TV news story to rock your world this morning. 12) All In The Family (FreeVee) English audio Description?: No Status: Ended Other than remembering Rob Reiner yelling about his Polish heritage at one point, my sleep last night completely erased what this episode was about. Occasionally that’s a problem with a show when i watch this much stuff in one day. Episode Grade: ? 11) Futurama (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Revived … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/25/23

American idol crowned a winner last night. I’m watching it today. I know who won, and thank God. 15) Drops Of God (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Unknown This was an odd duck of a series.I’m not even really sure I understand what the show is about. There was a lot of focus on being able to taste really specific flavors immediately, and perhaps becoming a sommelier. But, I think of the new shows I watched, I enjoyed this one the least. It didn’t really establish to me what it wanted to be, and instead tried almost an … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/21/23

Well, that Disney/Hulu pull list I mentioned earlier got a little shorter as the internet clapped back about one title Disney was planning on purging, the documentary Howard, which centers around the composer Howard Ashman who was instrumental in the revival of Disney, starting with The little Mermaid. Not only did it seem in poor taste to remove a documentary about an LGBT icon right before pride month, but also right before the live action adaptation of his work hits the big screen. So, Howard will not be pulled. 13) Great Expectations (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited Series … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/21/23

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

Disney Plus and hulu are dropping several shows from their services here in a few days, so if you hadn’t finished any of these shows: Willow, Big Shot, The mysterious Benedict Society, Turner and hooch, The World According To Jeff Goldblum, Maggie, Pistol, y The Last Man, Little Demon, Dollface, or any of the movies or specials disappearing with them, now would be the time to catch up. I would recommend a binge of Big Shot if you never got to see it. Easily the best show they are removing. 12) Extrapolations (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/18/23

Netflix has attempted its first upfront presentation, and to celebrate, they brought what they assumed were good tidings. Ginny and Georgia got a two season renewal, because certainly the world needed more of that. And, Virgin River got an early Season 6 renewal before Season 5 premieres. Also, Apple Plus announced that the upcoming third season of physical will be its last. 10) American idol (ABC/Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Renewed This Road To The Finale clip show was mostly a waste of time. It did feature some new footage, and checked in on a handful of earlier eliminations.But, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/17/23

Happy Mother’s Day to all those out there who need to hear that. No big news today. That’s it. It’s just Mother’s Day. 13) Family Matters (HBo MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Ended Look at HBO getting that AD on Family Matters. It’s been a long time since I’ve watched this show, and I’m not sure I ever saw the pilot. Of course, Family Matters was one of those shows that changed so much as the show progressed. Laura has almost no screentime in the pilot, I forgot she had a younger sister. Steve Urkel doesn’t exist. This is … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/13/23

Yesterday provided ample TV news. NBC announced their fall lineup, which included a Season 2 renewal for Lopez V Lopez, and has left its remaining sitcoms (American Auto, Young Rock, and Grand Crew) on the bubble. NBC also surprisingly revived Transplant with a 2 season order (since the series comes from Canada), and pushed LaBrea’s tiny third (and likely final) season to mid season. Meanwhile, The CW surprisingly rescued cancelled AMC drama 61st Street. I’m not sure why. I’m not sure anyone was asking for that. But this is the new CW, and by God, they will be irrelevant in … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/12/23

Where i Watched it: Apple Plus English Audio Description Provided By Pixel logic Narrated By Chelsea Kay This is the kind of boring derivative romantic comedy that gets shoved to streaming services nowadays. if there’s one thing that streaming has done, it’s murder the romcom genre. It’s so rare that one ever gets to go to theatres anymore, and if that one fails, it’s just used as more file to send the next ten to streaming. Just look at this year. Films starring Jennifer Lopez and josh Duhmael and Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon have all gone to streaming. Meanwhile, … Continue reading Ghosted

joining the ranks of cancelled series are The Winchesters (which is being shopped to other networks and streaming services) as well as Kung Fu. Basically, The CW no longer exists. The once groundbreaking network, that started as a combination of The WB and UPN, two networks that launched hits like Dawson’s Creek, Girlfriends, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Moesha, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries, Reba, and of course Supernatural has turned into a barren wasteland. 13) Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune (ABC/hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Presumably Renewed I wanted to watch this weeks episode just because … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/11/23

FOX has given a second season to the comedy Animal Control. Also, Disney is planning on merging Hulu into Disney Plus by the end of the year, and is currently in negotiations to buy out Comcast on their remaining shares. So your kids can watch Encanto and American Horror Story in one place! I have been integrating more and more reruns into my Lineup, a trend I’m personally enjoying. I’d rather continue to expand this way than spend more time stuck in series I’m not enjoying. So, especially on this list, this will likely be the last time for some … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/10/23

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 read an interesting news story that fans of Netflix shows have noticed that Netflix loves to cancel their product, and are now banding together to try and stop these cancellations. For example, there’s an entire subreddit devoted to Shadow and Bone where over 24K fans keep rewatching the show over and over to keep its numbers up. I wonder if just going to work, and leaving your Netflix running on Shadow and Bone couldn’t at least get you some hours in there. Also, Richard Dreyfuss did an interview where he wanted to know why he can’t play a black … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/06/23

Definitely some big TV news yesterday. Kevin Costner’s perpetual temper tantrum has turned into this being the final season of Yellowstone. However, they are planning on doing a sequel spinoff series starring Matthew McConaughey and many of the current Yellowstone cast. Also cancelled is CBS’s 6 season success story SWAT, which was cancelled over money squabbling between CBS and Sony. Despite the fact that SWAT has actually grown its audience the past couple seasons, it’s too expensive, and a deal could not be reached. Finally, FOX is no longer speaking with Mayim Bialik, as they have stopped Call Me kat … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/05/23

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
