Reviews Updates (Feedback wanted)
Nov. 5th, 2011 07:14 pmHello. Rough couple of days but I'd like to get some feedback about my reviews (which I should be posting more of soon).
Here are some shows I'm thinking about skipping and shows I'm thinking about reviewing. Let me know if any of these shows are shows you want to hear my take on:
Allan Gregory: This show is unlikely to get reviewed as I absolutely cannot stand it and probably won't be watching it again. True, I hated Family Guy this much at first too but that show at least had glimmers of potential even in it's earlier crummier episodes. But if anyone wants to hear my take on it I could probably stand to waste a half hour a week watching it. Just keep in mind it's almost certain every single review of it would be negative which would be a rarity because I don't really watch any other shows that I don't like.
My take on the first episode: The characters are all loathesome and the show is ugly to look at. It looks like a direct rip-off of Comedy Central's Kid Notorious, right down to the animation style. About the only interesting thing about it is that one of Allan Gregory's dads is an in-the-closet straight guy. But despite never seeing anything like that on TV before I can't give the writers credit for it because of how offensively homophobic the reason he is with the other dad is (other Dad is a sexual predator) and sends a disgusting message.
American Horror Story: My second favorite new show of the year I would like to review this if anyone is interested. It seems I review an awful lot of stuff that no-one reads and if I'm going to review something I'd like to know ahead of time if someone wants to read about it.
But seriously. This show rocks.
Ringer: The show is having it's ups and downs and I've decided to keep watching it despite my reservations. However if no-one on my friends list watches it there is very little point in me continuing to review it.
Once Upon A Time: Another show I love but I don't know how many people are reading my reviews for it. Do people sometimes read my reviews for things they don't watch? Because I'd like to keep reviewing this if that's the case.
Grimm: I'm 50/50 on this show and wouldn't be watching it at all if it weren't for OnDemand (it conflicts with Fringe) but if anyone wants to continue to hear my take, post here.
Young Justice: During my meltdown yesterday I mentioned I wouldn't be watching this show anymore. However I realize now that I don't associate this particular series as much with the person who was giving me problems. I've never been on Toon Zone when this was reviewed so I never got into any flame wars about it. Do people still want me to review it?
The Super Hero Squad Show: The Infinity Gauntlet Volumes 1 and 2: The review for this is officially off and it won't be coming unless this show comes to DVD in a new configuration (i.e. a season set). Why? My first disc has a glitch on it and I discovered that that was a problem with every single copy of it so I'm not going to bother with it.
Other shows I watch but don't review are House M.D., Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit, and Desperate Housewives. If anyone wants to hear my takes on any of those shows let me know.
Upcoming DVD reviews on this journal include V: The Complete Second Season, Captain America: The First Avenger, Winnie The Pooh, Cars 2, The Lion King, Green Lantern, Smallville Season 4, Smallville Season 5, Smallville Season 6, The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones Volume Two: The Wars Years and The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones Volume Three: The Years Of Change.
