The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/16/23

Well, NBC has opted to not renew American Auto after all. Looks like a solid victim of the writers strike, as they needed to either extend contracts at the end of the month, or cancel. However, MAX is sticking with Velma. 15) The Adventures Of The Gummi Bears (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended Consistently ranking low, this nostalgic trip hasn’t quite worked out. This was the 7th episode, and I’m trying to get at least 10 in so i have that fully revived memory. This one was mostly about adopting an abandoned wolf cub. Episode Grade: C … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/16/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/14/23

Well, some good news dropped for two shows. Netflix went ahead and gave XO Kitty a second season, and Apple has officially renewed Silo. Always nice to start off the roundup with some good news. 11) Mulligan (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed it’s not that this was bad, it’s that everything else was better. I’m enjoying the Senator character, and jokes like Mulligan thinking he can find the National Treasure like that Nic Cage film. but I think, especially on a day where I watched an episode of Futurama, that this show is still struggling to … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/14/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/12/23

Well, The CW finally made some choices. They’ve axed Gotham knights, but are keeping All American homecoming and Superman and Lois. Also, heartbreaking news that Treat Williams was killed in a motorcycle accident at the age of 71. Those who check out the roundup semi-frequently might have noticed I’ve been rewatching Everwood. He will always be Dr. Andy Brown for me. Since I’ve started rewatching the show, I’ve lost two Everwood cast members. Maybe I should stop before I lose another one. 12) Dinosaurs (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended On a day of really pretty good TV, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/12/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/10/23

I’m still behind, so I won’t get to them right away, but a couple of returning series hit next week you might find interesting, including Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Outlander, Black Mirror, and The Wonder Years. 15) My Kind Of Country (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet renewed I hate “Road To The Finale” episodes, and since Apple decided to break up the finale into “finale preparation” and then presumably the actual performances, watching the sausage get made, watching people talk about the prize, or how important this show is, was not a great singular episode. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/10/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/08/23

Well, talk about yesterday being a slow news day. Like, nothing major or earth shattering happened. It was just a regular day. If I pulled some news out, just a sliver of news, I guess I could say that I realized the second season of Swagger drops at the end of the month. 10) Dave (FX/Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Honestly, i feel like after that music video episode, Dave hasn’t been able to quite hit that level of perfection in the subsequent two episodes. That episode was something else. Episode 4 was just boring. Episode Grade: C 9) Young … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/08/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/04/23

I’m not sure there’s a ton of TV news, aside from the fact that the DGA signed a new contract, leaving the WGA and SAG as being the two still left. But, I did watch a ton of pilot episodes yesterday. 16) Clone high (MAX) English Audio Description?: No Status: Revived Still trying to get through the original Clone High. I think I finally am hearing Will forte’s voice. This episode dealt with getting a diagnoses of ADD. Maybe this would be funnier with audio description. Episode Grade: B- 15) 8 Simple Rules (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/04/23
