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
