The Too Much TV Roundup- 08/14/23

John Stark

not that it’s necessarily relevant, but have I mentioned how much I love the song The Devil Went Down To Georgia? I guess I’ve just got Georgia On my Mind. (When there are strikes happening, apparently TV news is really non-existent) 9) Trophy Wife (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended I actually like this show, and I feel bad when it ends up on the bottom, simply because I didn’t watch as many shows. I know a one-and-done like this likely will never get audio description, but this show deserved more than 1 season. Episode Grade: B 8) Justified … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 08/14/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 08/11/23

John Stark

The TV news cycle is really slow right now. The WGA met, and were made a counter offer that they are taking a look at. Sadly, they did not release the counter offer to the press. It’s possible that they believe there’s actually something to work with here. 13) Hey Dude (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended It’s boys vs girls at the ranch, in an anything you can do I can do better storyline. It’s also Danny’s birthday. And this show has no audio description. Even though I watched this back when I was six or seven, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 08/11/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 08/05/23

John Stark

While I watch these older shows, I can’t help but think how much better they would be with audio description, and I want a world where we also prioritize the back catalog of TV shows as well as films. I also get sad when i think of a show I’d watch again that isn’t on a streaming service. Today’s highlight: American Dreams. Ran for 3 seasons on NBC, and launched the career of Brittany Snow. I miss that show. 14) Hey Dude (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended Hey Dude was one of the live action shows thrown … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 08/05/23

I did a two hour interview on audio description yesterday, and i still had time to watch all of this plus a movie. Plus, there’s actual TV news to talk about! Amazon has renewed The Summer i Turned Pretty for a third season, while Apple plus will not be moving forward with City on Fire. I’m OK with those choices,though I haven’t even started the second season yet of Summer. 12) The Horror Of Delores Roach (Amazon) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet renewed I’m just not latching onto the Justina machado series, even though I love her. My … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 08/03/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/30/23

John Stark

It’s a slow news day, but you know how all the streaming services have these random films that didn’t do well at the box office, or were even theatrically released, and were made years ago? I wonder why we can’t have a streamer that does that just for TV shows? Think of how many shows you’ve seen over the years that had short runs, or perhaps aired years ago, and currently don’t appear on a streaming service, but it would be fun to revisit those shows. if I can revisit a crappy 90’s flop, I should be able to revisit … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/30/23

John Stark

Just a small note to kick us off today, if you happened to be one of those fans who loved Grease: Rise Of The Pink Ladies, and were broken when paramount Plus cancelled the series and dropped it, good news! It is getting a physical media release. So you can own it forever and ever. No word on if the audio description will follow it to the DVD release. 11) Futurama (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: revival (Season 11) is now available. So I’m still on Season 2. It’s gonna take me a while to get to 11. The … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/24/23

We have some news finally out of comic con. In The Walking Dead Universe, The Walking Dead: Dead City and Daryl Dixon both have gotten second season pickups. Meanwhile, Amazon was able to run a promo for the upcoming second season of Invincible, and Peacock showed off the upcoming John Wick spinoff The Continental, which was originally being developed at Starz. Sadly, that last project is only 3 episodes. 11) The Full Monty (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited The thing is, this show is just one of the growing trend of baffling revivals where people are brought back … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/21/23

Your fall TV lineup from the networks looks really different. Lots of game shows, reality shows, and non-scripted programming, plus content from the international market. 9) Dinosaurs (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended I’m into the second season now. Junior ends up at his dad’s worksite. Will his dad’s boss eat him? These are the deep questions. Episode Grade: B- 8) Dave (FX) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet renewed Also forever known as the Brad Pitt episode, this episode was so bizarre, but Brad Pitt’s level of commitment to this episode made it something else. Hearing … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/15/23

Emmy Winners

John Stark

Honestly? I didn’t watch the Emmy’s tonight. I’ve lost all hope that the Emmy voters have any idea who to vote for. The nominations are silly. And, oh look, Breaking Bad swept the drama category. Oh, hey, Modern Family won… again. Breaking Bad has already won the Emmy for Best Drama series (last year). Anna Gunn won last year. Aaron Paul won two years ago. He won the year before that. Bryan Cranston won that year too. Cranston also won in 2009, and 2008. Bryan Cranston has now won 4 Emmys for playing Walter White, Aaron Paul has won three, … Continue reading Emmy Winners

Stand Up Guys

John Stark

STAND UP GUYS Cast: Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, Alan Arkin, Vanessa Ferlito, Julianna Margulies, Judy Punch, Courtney Galiano Written By: Noah Haidle Directed By: Fisher Stevens You likely missed this movie. That would be a mistake. Really, almost any time you have the opportunity to catch a film starring Pacino, Walken, and Arkin, you should catch it. Yes, this film has a few problems, but Pacino and Walken specifically make the most out of it.  The plot of the film centers around Val (Pacino), a man recently released from prison after 28 years, spends his first day out with his … Continue reading Stand Up Guys
