Summer Shows 2019 Part 2

In case you were wondering what happened to last week's post, it wasn't written or published due to me going with another blog instead and alternate it with this one, a brief thing that will end as of this post. I am now phasing out weekly updates of this blog going back to random posts of this, although I can only hope that I will find a new time to publish weekly updates of this blog as it tends to work better this way if I do some of the time depending on what's going on with other blogs of mine. I just wish that the cheat that I used for this blog weren't moved to another blog for a while. I don't know when or if it will move back here. Anyways, enjoy this post and know that Tuesdays could see updates of this blog again in the future and you might have to read my Madam Secretary blog to know more about it for sure.

Well, I’m now to part 2 of the summer shows reviews that I’m doing this year. I’ve never had to split them up into multiple parts before as a lot of them aired later in the season and some I hadn’t had the chance to see earlier. Here are the reviews for the rest of what I should be interested in. This will only cover new shows this year that weren’t already reviewed.

First Responders Live: Show Description- We see various, real events unfolding live regarding different people in this profession. Behind the Scenes- This is likely inspired and based off of a cable show called Live PD. My Thoughts- It seemed interesting enough, although it also seemed like you might not get all out of it since it covered only a limited amount of time. I give it three stars out of five. Long Term Prospects- I’d put this at a toss-up as to whether or not it will last. Where to Find- On FOX at 9/8 Central on Tuesdays

What Just Happened? With Fred Savage: Show Description- Fred Savage hosts a show set after a made up show that doesn’t exist. Behind the Scenes- Fred Savage was on The Grinder. My Thoughts- It doesn’t work for me as a show as it is too random and doesn’t make a lot of sense. I can’t even tell what it is going for in the end. I give it two out of five stars. Long Term Prospects- I don’t think this will last. Where to Find- On FOX at 9:30/8:30 Central on Sundays

Hypnotize Me: Show Description- A game show, contestants have to do seemingly easy tasks while they are hypnotized into doing completely ridiculous things that get in the way of accomplishing said tasks. Behind the Scenes- This might have been part of The CW’s free streaming service, CW Seed, before it was moved to the network. My Thoughts- I may question the realism of this show, but feel that it is quite funny and entertaining. I give it four out of five stars. Long Term Prospects- I’d put this at a toss-up. Where to Find- On the CW at 9/8 Central on Wednesdays

BH90210: Show Description- I have no idea what to make of the plot outside of celebrities from 90210 playing fictionalized versions of themselves in a show that is very Meta. Behind the Scenes- A lot of the cast of the original is on this show too. We see people like Jennie Garth, who was on What I Like About You, Shannon Doherty, who was on the original Charmed, and various others. My Thoughts- This doesn’t work for me as it is far too Meta and might work better as a proper reboot instead of pseudo reality. I give it one out of five stars. Long Term Prospects- I have no idea if this will last or not and would lean towards it not lasting. Where to Find- On FOX at 9/8 Central on Wednesdays

Two Sentence Horror Stories: Show Description- In unrelated stories in each episode, two sentences are turned into half an hour of a show. Behind the Scenes- This has no known connection to anything before it that I’m familiar with. My Thoughts- I saw this once and wasn’t able to make much sense out of it. What I do know is that I didn’t like it. I don’t like horror stories and this is no exception. I give it one out of five stars. Long Term Prospects- I don’t think that this will last, although it just as easily could. Where to Find- On the CW at 9/8 Central on Thursdays

I Ship it: Show Description- A woman who is a fan girl of a show quits her job in order to help work with this other show. It’s a musical at times. Behind the Scenes- This aired on the CW Seed originally before it moved to the network. My Thoughts- It didn’t work as well to me since it seemed kind of sappy in a way and not as realistic as it could be. I give it two out of five stars. Long Term Prospects- While this might not last on the network, it could easily last on its streaming site. Where to Find- On the CW at 9:30/8:30 Central on Mondays

Mysteries Decoded: Show Description- A true crime show, a woman seeks to find answers relating to various mysteries of sorts. Behind the Scenes- Like most of the CW’s late summer show, this aired at first on its streaming site before airing on the network itself. My Thoughts- It might work for those of you who are into weird things like this. But I don’t really like true crime most of the time so I didn’t like this as much. I give it two out of five stars. Long Term Prospects- This might not last, at least on the network itself. Where to Find- On the CW at 9/8 Central on Tuesdays


Bulletproof: Show Description- Two black cops work together to solve crimes. Behind the Scenes- This first aired on the Sky Network in England and is a British show. My Thoughts- I couldn’t tell if this was strange due to the accents on the characters or if they sped up the speed of the show so as to not cut out much from the American airing of it. It didn’t work for me based on other factors either. Long Term Prospects- Whether or not this will last will depend not on American viewership but on British views. Thus, a prediction is pointless. It could last there but not here. I’d say it could last there but not here. I give it out of of five stars. Where to Find- On the CW at 8/7 Central on Sundays
