The Too Much TV Roundup- 11/4/23

John Stark

So, we are back to the studios saying they have submitted their “last, best, and final offer” to SAG. Just the fact that the studios are saying that makes me question its validity. Just saying. 5) Dreaming Whilst Black (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet renewed i didn’t even know there was a pregnant character on the show. This whole thing was about a birth. And I was so surprised by it. Episode Grade: B 4) Praise Petey (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Not Yet renewed The Cult is still poor, so they start throwing barn … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 11/4/23

Yesterday was a mother of a whirlwind. First, i did my happy dance when i saw that Amazon officially renewed Gen-V for a second season. Then, our world crashed down, as the absolutely brilliant The Problem With jon Stewart was cancelled at Apple Plus over “creative differences”. What? Maybe I should cancel Apple Plus and tel them it’s over creative differences. “I’ve decided to go another way.” Someone else had better pick up Jon Stewart ASAP. 8) 8) Dreaming Whilst Black (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Unknown In the second episode, the laughs come mostly from culturally significant … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/19/23

Two big new shows dropped yesterday. Also, Hulu, which just brought back moonlighting, announced the return of LA Law in November (not the remake). And there was news of Halloween being purchased for TV rights and a cinematic universe. So look for a Michael Myers TV show as well as I guess an Avengers style Myers universe? 10) The Ren and Stimpy Show (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended While I am still enjoying a little taste of nostalgia, this series very much relies on sight gags and really needs audio description. It also has some perfect gags, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/12/23

I technically watched three movies today, though one wasn’t feature length. And 8 episodes. So there ya go. 8) The Watchful eye (Freeform/Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Really, this show was borderline unwatchable without audio description. It opens up in the pilot and for the first few minutes, something is happening, but there is no audio description, and no one is talking. That’s not the only time that tactic is used in this show. Sadly, I got the hint that if this did have audio description I would watch it. So, if you’re one of my sighted readers, I’ll let … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/18/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 19th

John Stark

Six shows go in, one show was very obviously on top. 1) The Orville (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes I’m going to say it. The Orville is better than Star Trek, at least the many versions of shows we have had. I realize that without Star Trek, there wouldn’t be The Orville, but I’m much more involved and interested in the weekly adventures of this crew than any of the current Star Trek programs (of which there are FIVE). It’s Seth Macfarlane at his best writing, and this episode, talking about the Machlan traditions, and revisiting the baby girl that … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 19th

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 14th

I started a few more shows today, and sadly none of them reached the top spot. Sometimes, it takes time. 1) Only Murders In The building (Hulu) English Audio Description: Yes The winner today was everyone’s favorite gang of podcasters, who continue to try and solve the mystery of why they are being framed. but, it was the injection of some heavy hitting guest stars that sent this episode over the top, from Tina Fey’s unnecessarily cutthroat rival caster, Jane Lynch’s always welcome return as the one time stunt double, Amy Ryan’s deliciously evil killer, or Michael Rappaport’s exhausted lead … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 14th

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 12th

John Stark

i feel like my brain got erased between yesterday and last night, so this should be an interesting column to start the day. 1) The Orville (Hulu/Disney Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Yes in Gently Falling Rain, I realized this show needs a fourth season. I don’t know if anyone else did, but I did. Anyway, just when a treaty is about to be signed, shit hits the fan, and Tallaya ends up rearing her angry head again, and suddenly the crew is in danger. I see that they are really trying to make Charlie happen, but considering who went … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 12th
