I had wanted to see Generation Gap at one point in time, but I don’t care enough to see it right now and might not see it at all ever. I’ve had a largely leisurely summer free from seeing a lot of shows at all most of the time. I am starting to think that I may cut down on TV like this in the regular season too like I did on Wednesdays earlier this year around Lent. As for why you haven’t seen this blog on Saturdays, it has been due to me having to share it with other blogs. I am hoping that I can get this on other days of the week since not one but two of them are open now for weekly updates. I have a lot of posts that I want to get done, some sooner rather than later, but it might not happen at all. I also want to get reviews of some regular season shows more updated than they have been in the past to be more in sync if you will with itself if that makes sense.
Bump: Show Description- A teenager who didn’t know she was pregnant winds up dealing with a lot of family drama beyond just being a new mom while still in high school. Behind the Scenes- This is a show from Australia that is airing in the US. It is only half an hour so I’m unsure if this is supposed to be a comedy or a drama that’s shorter. I see it as more of a drama than a comedy. My Thoughts- Parts of this seem interesting and worth seeing what happens. Other parts of this seem dumb or otherwise not work such as the extent of some of the drama going on at once. Long Term Prospects- I have no idea if this will last or not. Where to Find- On the CW at 8/7 Central on Thursdays
Leonardo: Show Description- This is a show about a potential murder charge being brought against the famous Leonardo Da Vinci and some of the story leading into it. I am unsure if this is based on real events or completely made up. The fact that this is promoted as fiction leads me to think that this is more likely made up. Behind the Scenes- This is another foreign import, although I forget which country this originates from. Freddie Highmore from The Good Doctor is on this show. My Thoughts- I’m not entirely sure what I think about this show. I think that I like it enough just to see what happens in this and then later look up if this is anywhere close to reality or not. It seems boring enough in some places and unfocused at times. But it also has a good enough story to keep up with. Long Term Prospects- I am thinking that this is likely to be a self contained story that won’t last much beyond what we get this season. Where to Find- On the CW at 8/7 Central on Tuesdays
Password: Show Description- This is a game show where people have to guess a word using only one word hints to figure it out. Behind the Scenes- This is a revival of this same classic game show that has been on a lot in the past. Jimmy Fallon from Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show is on this show a lot, helping the ordinary contestants win. My Thoughts- It seems to work, although it can also seem a bit boring at times. Long Term Prospects- This will probably last, although I’m unsure if it will since you can never tell with these. Where to Find- On NBC at 10/9 Central on Tuesdays
I’m now going to switch to existing shows. I realized when I did a random control f in the document that I use this blog for that I couldn’t find something that should have been here so I’m going to update this to include this if I haven’t already. I have no idea where that review is. I’d have to check the archives of this blog to see where it might.
Press Your Luck: Status- Currently on ABC during the summer. Why
I’ve seen it- I was interested in this. Noteworthiness- This is a revival of
the classic syndicated game show. Description- Contestants have to win prizes
while avoiding whammies that take away everything they’ve won thus far. Pros-
The show is fun to watch and keep track of. I actually want to be on it
sometime. Cons- This can seem long and drawn out at times. Note to Parents- I’m
not sure if there is much, if anything, wrong with this in terms of whether or
not people can watch. This is PG, so you’ll have to see why. Recommendation- I
like it so I think that you should watch it too. My Viewing Habits- I watch
what I can of this when the show comes in. Prediction- This will probably keep
lasting. Reception: somewhat good. Grade: B. New review?
Great Chocolate Showdown: Status- Currently on the CW at 9/8
Central on Thursdays. Why I’ve seen it- I tend to watch a new CW show at least
once. Noteworthiness- This is a Canadian show airing here in the US.
Description- Various contestants compete in a food competition where they deal
with different chocolate creations. Pros- The food is always interesting and
not just the same old thing over and over again. Cons- Its biggest flaw is that
not all of the contestants get their food eaten during the first round which
doesn’t seem fair. Note to Parents- There is nothing wrong that I can think
about this outside of maybe LGBT contestants. I don’t find that wrong, by the
way. I only mention that in case someone else finds it wrong. Recommendation-
This might be good if you aren’t busy with other things. My Viewing Habits- I
haven’t seen every episode, but have liked it since the first one. Prediction-
It already has a third season in Canada while airing its second one right now
in the US. I am pretty sure that it will keep airing in both countries.
Reception: great. Grade: B.
Stargirl: Status- Currently on the CW at 8/7 Central on Wednesdays. Why I’ve seen it- It looked good and interesting. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from the Stargirl comics by DC comics. Description- A teenage girl gets a cosmic staff believed to be from her father that turns her into a mystic superhero called Stargirl. Notable People- Amy Smart, from movies, is a character on the show. Pros- Very well done in terms of being character driven among nearly all of its stars both big and small, it is hard to think of much that’s bad about it. Cons- I do worry that it has the problems of having to see every episode to understand it. Note to Parents- There are some issues with this, but also good life lessons as well. I suggest that preteens and older can watch, but not too much else. Recommendation- I think that you should watch it and as long as it isn’t a part of Arrowverse, you don’t have too much to worry about regarding it. Prediction- This could keep lasting, but it will be hard to know for sure right now since a lot of is new just coming back this season. Reception: positive. Grade: A.
