The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/14/23

Well, some good news dropped for two shows. Netflix went ahead and gave XO Kitty a second season, and Apple has officially renewed Silo. Always nice to start off the roundup with some good news. 11) Mulligan (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed it’s not that this was bad, it’s that everything else was better. I’m enjoying the Senator character, and jokes like Mulligan thinking he can find the National Treasure like that Nic Cage film. but I think, especially on a day where I watched an episode of Futurama, that this show is still struggling to … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/14/23

Well, Showtime just cancelled a show that premiered over a year ago. I think we all saw that coming. Generally, if you hit that year mark, and you haven’t heard anything… it’s not going to be good news. 11) Futurama (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Revived A weird day. I enjoyed pretty much everything I watched, but in the great struggle, the show without AD lost the war. Fry drinks an alien leader which is bad news for him. And he and Leela have a falling out. But, it all works out in the end for our Marty mcFly … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/07/23

Sometimes I wonder… will we ever get to see the second season of Chad? I know it was cancelled by TBS, but it completed shooting. It was actually cancelled the day it was supposed to have its second season premiere. Did anyone buy the completed second season? Tubi? Roku? Anyone? 14) Clarissa Explains it All (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended Fergus breaks something in the house, and blames it on ghosts, which leads them to doing a seance for some character we’ve never met before with a ridiculous name. It swings for the fences, but strikes out. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/03/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/29/23

I watched way too much TV yesterday. i know a lot of these are half hours, but even for me. My God. Wow. 16) Saint X (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed You know, this was one of the first things I watched, and I can’t remember anything about it. It’s the second episode, and I remember there’s a mystery around a murdered girl, and the show is on an island. I got very little beyond that. It wasn’t bad enough for me to remember hating it, it’s just mediocre enough for me to not care. Episode … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/29/23

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, FOX is still holding out on some decisions but announced a writer’s proof schedule full of reality TV. They even revived Kitchen Nightmares. I believe ABC is the only network that hasn’t done an upfront yet, possibly also The CW. It’s hard to tell in this day and age when the Networks are feeling less energized and also avoiding writer’s strike blowback. 11) Tiny beautiful Things (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited Series I think with each episode of Kathryn Hahn’s dark comedy I tend to dislike it more. I’m not really settling in, nor do I feel … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/15/23

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

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

A couple more interesting WGA Strike tidbits. The Rings Of Power was told to continue filming without it’s showrunners (who are WGA members, and on strike). So if you were concerned about the quality last season, this could either be a good or bad thing. Probably bad though. And Evil, which was finishing filming on its fourth season, ended up wrapping filming early because the strike was too disruptive. I don’t know how you end early in a positive way. I would assume that means scenes are not being shot. I would think that affects the continuity of the show. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/07/23

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

Last night, the series finales for The Goldbergs and A Million Little Things happened. I didn’t watch either. 10) 10) The Rookie Feds (ABC/Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: not Yet Renewed I watched Feds before the flagship show again, and my initial reaction was that I thought it was funny how much this show was about luck, and yet this show is still on the bubble. That hotel room being described the way it was seemed extra silly, and i was here for that, as well as the guy who thought he was holding a nuke. But, the finale … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/03/23

Good news for fans of The morning Show. Apple Plus has already picked that show up for a fourth season before the third season even premieres. 11) The power (Amazon) English Audio Description?: Yes Honestly, I’m as surprised as you are. I was actually looking forward to this series. However, the pilot is very slow. I felt like I was watching a completely different show than the one the trailers had been hyping. it reminded me of how I used to feel when i was hyped for the latest theatrical adaptation of a hot YA title, only for it to … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 04/30/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 04/28/23

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
