The Small Screen Diaries: 01/15/24

John Stark

The Emmys were last night, and Succession predictably did well, while Better Call Saul finished its run with not a single win for anything ever. I’m most excited for Paul Walter Houser who won Supporting Actor in a Limited for Blackbird, which was on Apple Plus in July 2022. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should. He’s fantastic. And now, the shows I actually did watch. My Life With The Walter Boys (Netflix) has some audio description that has grown on me. Of course, four episodes in and I have a bit more of a grasp on this show … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 01/15/24

The Too Much TV Roundup- 12/27/23

John Stark

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

The Too Much TV Roundup- 12/21/23

John Stark

Jake Johnson mentioned yesterday that he does not believe Starz will renew Minx. I’m telling you, it’s the only reason I haven’t cancelled yet. I’m living on a prayer. The good news is that they immediately cancelled and pulled Heels right after the finale, and cancelled shining Veil immediately, so the fact they are even thinking about minx means it has a shot. 1) Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (Netflix) English Audio Description Provided By: XTraX Status: Limited Well, the second episode is weird. Scott is *spoiler*, and the episode focuses almost entirely on the evil ex group and a power … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 12/21/23

Julia

John Stark

Where i Watched It: HBO MAX English Audio Description Available?: Yes So, in case you are confused, because HBO MAX is currently running two different Julia things, both named Julia, this is the feature length documentary. Not the show that Sarah Lancashire missed out on an Emmy nomination for. Admittedly, sometimes i watch too much shit, and then older titles don’t get reviewed as quickly, and some of my thoughts fade. I watched this two weeks ago, and I had to rewatch my video review to get an understanding of what the hell I was going to talk about here. … Continue reading Julia

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 24th

John Stark

Yesterday was definitely a much better day in terms of the quality of programming watched. Coming up with who gets the top spot was actually a challenge. 1) Julia (HBOMAX) English Audio Description Available: Yes Ultimately, I chose Julia, whose first season was a pleasant surprise on many levels. And since this was the season finale, and the other contenders for the top spot were not quite there yet, I landed on Julia, which will be returning for a second season. Sarah Lancashire needs to be a serious contender for a nomination this year, as well as David Hyde Pierce … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 24th

The Too Much tV Roundup- May 14th

John Stark

This felt like a really good day full of some good television, for the most part.Trying to figure out who got the top spot was a big challenge this day. 1) Reacher (amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Look, I’m behind. I know. I didn’t rush on Reacher since it got a second season renewal almost immediately. So this was Episode 5 for me, and I seem to keep getting surprised by this show. The stakes keep changing, the bar keeps getting reset, and Reacher is by far one of the best new shows I’ve seen in a long time. … Continue reading The Too Much tV Roundup- May 14th

The Too Much TV Roundup

John Stark

It’s Monday again, and that means it’s time for me to drop my top 10 picks from the television I watched last week. I’m going to spoil the surprise and say that I’m far enough behind I didn’t even bother starting the final seasons of Ozark or Grace and Frankie yet. There’s just TOO MUCH TV! 1) Better Things (FX/Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: No Just like I started last week’s list off by bidding Black-ish farewell, I’m starting this week by saying goodbye to Pamela Adlon’s Better Things. it’s never been my favorite show, but I’ve always thought she … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup

The Too Much TV Roundup

John Stark

It’s Monday, so it’s time for another smattering of television programs I’ve been watching. I wrapped up a few this week, which should allow me to launch into a few new ones next week. 1) The Wonder Years (ABC/Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: Not Consistently This should have made my list last week when they got the phone call right at the end, but I really wanted to see where they would go with this week’s episode, bringing back the eldest brother from Vietnam after being wounded in combat. I expected the episode to go dark with this, but it … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup

The Too Muchn TV Roundup

John Stark

Here’s a roundup of everything I had an opportunity to watch last week, and the top ten shows I want to talk about, or recommend the most. As a reminder, there’s far too much TV for me to watch, so I’m perpetually behind, so some newer series I haven’t even started yet because I’m still trying to clear my list. you may be further behind or ahead of me. But I promise I consume a ton of media. 1) Moon knight (Disney Plus) Audio Description Available?: Yes Once again, moon Knight tops my list of shows I feel the immediate … Continue reading The Too Muchn TV Roundup

The Too Much TV Round Up

John Stark

It’s that time of week when I rundown the top 10 shows I watched last week I feel compelled to talk about. New development, is that… midweek… Peacock pushed an update to their application that actually allowed me to navigate and turn on audio description. Mind blowing. So, strap in, because even more titles on this list are now likely to have audio description. 1) Moon Knight (Disney Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Yes I cannot state how much I loved the pilot episode of this series. And it has very little to do with my excitement for the character … Continue reading The Too Much TV Round Up
