I found out that Apple isn’t moving forward on a third season of Schmigadoon. Honestly, I was shocked they made a second. Very pleasantly surprised, as I love that show, but still surprised. Not shocked by the cancellation, especially after they also ditched The After Party last year. I also wasn’t surprised by who won Celebrity jeopardy (Hulu) this week. That’s the person that I assumed would win the whole thing, so the fact they made the final three doesn’t shock me.I laughed at the audio description. At the very end, when our lovely narrator is filling in that lead … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 01/19/24

Apple better be continuing on with For All Mankind. That season finale was a beast, and did exactly what I thought it would. Because the show takes these leaps forward in time, original cast members have to keep being shaved off because there’s only just so much you can age a person. Just like how last season ended with a few original cast members exiting, it’s highly likely that the way certain characters are written, means the end for them on the show (at least as regulars). However, there was one prominent character whose future was not shown, and that … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 01/12/24

Really, it’s the doldrums of TV news right now. Even in the world of movie news, the best I got is that I just learned there was a movie in theatres called Anyone But You that stars Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney. Talk about the wrong time of year to open a film like that. Wow. Getting clobbered by films with big budgets and Oscar fare, with two people who really aren’t marketable romcom stars. 1) Everything Now (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed Clashes begin in the friend zone when people seem at odds with each … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 12/27/23

Christmas is almost upon us. Yet, Peacock is holding their premiere of the Focus features Holiday Oscar contender, The Holdovers, until Dec 29th. What’s so weird, is that The Last Voyage Of The Demeter still hasn’t found its way, and neither has Oppenheimer. Barbie is on MAX, when is Oppenheimer coming to Peacock? 1) Sex Education (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Final Season The series finale. It was even super-sized so we could call it Sex Education” The Movie. They wanted to make sure all the characters who made it to this season got a conclusion, and I really … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 12/22/23

The cancellation sword is still swinging, as AMC inexplicably cancelled Lucky Hank after one season, and ABC is slowly purging Seattle Grace, with the announcement that Season 7 is the final season of Station 19. So, not a great news day for TV fans. Also, RIP to Ryan O’Neal, who was a fantastic actor (watch Paper moon), and a sexy 70’s icon. 1) Beckham (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited We look at Beckham growing as a parent, and also making a tough choice to move to Spain from England to play ball. Episode Grade: B+ 2) Yellowjackets (Paramount … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup-12/08/23

Rumor has it that the team behind the new Scott Pilgrim show on Netflix have no plans to do a second season. Just an FYI for fans. Then again, the Strangers Things guys were only going to make 4 seasons, and they made more. So, peoples minds can be changed. And we’re probably getting a third season of Big little Lies. 1) Goosebumps (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed In what is likely the penultimate episode, a nod to the Give Yourself Goosebumps books, the kids are trapped in the Biddle house as Biddle is after … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 11/25/23

The Marvels box office is not just reflective of Marvel fatigue, but also the impact of the strike. Two of the films lead characters are being played by rising stars from Disney plus shows, and were unable to promote the film. Disney should have pushed this back, and now they have their lowest opening ever. 9) Name That Tune (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Unknown honestly, just the most underwhelming episode. Jeff Ross knew all the songs until he got to the final, and then Tig knew all the songs, yet somehow Nicole ended up in the finale. Baffling. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 11/10/23

The writers struck for minimums in writers rooms, and I guess The CW’s All American Homecoming and Superman and Lois had rooms above the new increased minimum, so they are firing some to reduce costs and shrinking the writers rooms. Let’s be honest, The CW is on life support in its current state. 9) Justified (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended I gotta give Raylon’s dad props. When i first met Arlo in Season 1, I never expected to see him still kicking around in Season 4, but here he is. Mainly, people still want to take down Boyd, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/27/23

I prioritized some film watching today over cramming TV shows, so this list is shorter than usual. 1) Shining Girls (Apple Plus) English Audio Description: Yes Every once in a while, a show comes along that isn’t just good in that way that qualifies it for a top spot, or makes me feel good because it’s a returning favorite. No, it comes out of nowhere, from a title I had zero expectations for, and that is what Shining Girls gives me every week. Astounding. Beautiful. Scary. Weird. Provocative. It’s everything every week. This has to be one of the oddest … Continue reading The Too much TV Roundup- July 15th

Started to take a look at a new game show today. Ooof. Wait for my thoughts on that dumpster fire. 1) The Boys (Amazon) English AudioD description Available?: Yes Duh. Of course the season finale was going to make my top slot. RIP (Spoiler). What a way to finish an insane season. I can’t wait to see where this show is headed next year. It’s truly a shame that some of these actors can’t ever possibly get recognized for their work at the Emmy’s because there’s really no category for this show. Sure, it was nominated in drama… but is … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 8th

Well, Netflix decided today was the day for us to watch some Stranger Things. Episode 8 was an hour and a half, and episode nine is roughly two and a half hours when i tackle that. 1) The Boys (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes in a day that put The Boys versus Stranger Things, The Boys won handily. I love both shows, but the 7th episode of The Boys, much like every other episode this season, found a new way to inject something we hadn’t previously seen. It feels like The Boys showrunners are consistently being dared to do … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 1st

Capping off the week with some nice shows, and some not so nice. 1) The Boys (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes In the 6th episode of the season, our main characters started to make bold choices. The Deep’s bold choice was to have sex with an octopus. But, A Train finally understood what it felt like to be on the receiving end of superhero nonsense that goes unchecked. Noir decides to go AWOL, right after being complimented by Homelander. Dude doesn’t like compliments I guess. Milk and Starlite team up. Kimiko can still kick ass without her powers. And, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 24th

It’s time to make the donuts. 1) The Boys (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Where to begin? The brilliant cameos by Paul Reiser and Seth Rogen? How about that stepdad that is pro-Homelander trying to have some conversation with Milk about how awesome Homelander is. Or that musical number? or Mave and Butcher? There’s really no way around it, this show never bores me. And it seems to find a new way to be outlandish every time out. Episode Grade: A 2) Barry (HBO/HBO MAX) English Audio Description Available?: Yes After the shock of trying to remember what the … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 17th

Time to make the donuts. 1) Ozark (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes In the 9th episode of the final season, Ruth is still giving zero fucks. She does manage to put herself together to attend the funeral with Three. Meanwhile, Grandpa is in town, and he’s looking for Ben. This was a great episode full of little moments and exchanges that truly created something special. For example, Jason Bateman’s realization at the end of the episode that he can’t even trust his own wife to tell him the truth. It was that resigned acceptance that sold me on the … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 10th
