The Small Screen Diaries: 10/14/26

John Stark

Kicking off the Small Screen Diaries for the day is a renewal for Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, the Apple TV series that debuted in May and has finally been called up to the big leagues alongside other shows that premiered around the same time, like Widow’s Bay and Star City, which had already received second-season renewals. The Tatiana Maslany and Jake Johnson series attracted quite a bit of attention, but unfortunately, because of its premiere schedule, it was ineligible for this year’s Emmy Awards. It hadn’t aired enough episodes within the eligibility window, which puts it in the strange position of … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 10/14/26

The Small Screen Diaries: 09/27/26

John Stark

First, before I start my Small Screen Diary for the day, I figured I would address the fact that you may start seeing a few other writers around here. I wanted to give other aspiring blind film critics the opportunity to write about film, television, or audio description, and since I have a platform, why not? This isn’t monetized. They’re not being paid. I’m not being paid. The struggle is real for all of us. But I do have a platform, and if I can use it to give some other blind writers an opportunity to get their voices out … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/27/26

The Small Screen Diaries: 09/18/26

John Stark

Unfortunately, we have to start off the Small Screen Diary for today with a sad bit of news. Not really, because I gave up on the show after the first episode, but I’m sure someone out there cares. Netflix has canceled Sweet Magnolias, which really indicates to me, following the cancellation of Ransom Canyon, that there’s a very specific audience that has either abandoned Netflix or that Netflix is looking at abandoning. And if I was a fan of Virgin River, I would be afraid. I would be very afraid. I mean, I am casually a fan of Virgin River, … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/18/26

The Too Much TV Roundup- September 20th

John Stark

Today was interesting to be sure. A brand new show, and an attempt to watch something presented in a new format. 1) Locke and Key (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes So, as we march onward to the series finale, Ellie led Gideon to an alive former classmate, someone who was very nice back in high school days, and really wanted to be a part of their group, but they never let him in on the secret. They actually went in one time to remove a memory from his head, and it was that point that they hid the key. But, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- September 20th

The Too Much TV Roundup- September 19th

John Stark

It was a nice day. I felt like some shows read my blog and addressed issues I was having, while others did not. i know, that’s crazy, but it feels nice to feel like you’ve been heard. Speaking of, is Disney Plus really going to let their strong commitment to audio description die with Dancing With The Stars? I thought that might be the plus side of it moving to Disney Plus, but alas, as of this writing, it has no audio description. I’m not reviewing it, as I only watched it long enough to realize there was no audio … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- September 19th

Fall TV Preview: Night By Night Comparison

John Stark

Now that all the major networks have announced their lineups, here’s a look at each night, and a prediction of what’s going to happen. SUNDAY: 8PM: Once Upon A Time (ABC), The Amazing Race (CBS), Football (NBC), The Simpsons/Bobs Burgers (FOX) Football draws the largest audience, obviously. I expect Once Upon A Time to continue to lead in the scripted area. 9PM: Revenge (ABC), The Good Wife (CBS), Football (NBC), Family Guy/American Dad (FOX) Revenge used to be ahead of The Good Wife, but has been dipping a lot recently. I expect The Good Wife to come out on top … Continue reading Fall TV Preview: Night By Night Comparison
