John Stark

Kicking off the Small Screen Diaries for the day, let’s take a look at the week ahead and some things you might be interested in, because even though network television is not nearly as prominent as it used to be, it still means a ton of shows are headed your way, all at relatively the same time, either brand new or returning for new seasons. That is very much the case this week, with CBS returning essentially its entire lineup, including hits like Tracker, Elsbeth, Fire Country, Sheriff Country, Boston Blue, FBI, CIA, NCIS, NCIS: Origins and Marshals, as well … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 10/03/26

TV Shows Watched: The Walking Dead: Dead City: S3E4 (AMC Plus) WITH audio description, Unconditional: S1E8 (Apple) with audio description, The Westies: S1E7 (MGM Plus) with audio description, Avatar: The LAst Airbender: S2E6 (Netflix) with audio description, The Rookie: S8E10 (Disney Plus) with audio description, and The Five Star Weekend: S1E2 (Peacock) with audio description The Walking Dead: Dead City- I’ve suspected in the past that AMC Plus uses synthetic voice, and I’d still buy that here. They tipped their hat previously when the narrator couldn’t pronounce the name of a character, so I operate as if this was synthetic. … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/16/26

Shotgun Wedding

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Amazon English Audio Description Provided By Deluxe Narrated By: Roy Samuelson I would love to control Jennifer Lopez’s acting career. Like, feed me her scripts, and I’ll choose the projects. I know being seen and admired still at her age is an achievement. Running around doing a romcom on a tropical island a guy 17 years younger than her seemed like a catch, but then, that co-star had some problems with…. Normal stuff… like DM’s and cannibalism.
