finished up on season 1 of Switched at Birth on Hulu.
and thinking about rewatching The Fosters which has been a long time since i watched the show on Netflix like 10 years ago or whatever. That and try to get into the spin off show Good Trouble
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika If they bring it back, it will have huge shoes to pick back up again. Get Dan Harmon to write the show since Joss Wheaton is a "creep".
Finally got around to watching Owl House: For The Future and am on the verge of throwing up from happiness, oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god WHAT. A. SHOW. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Also Stringbean is so f****** cute I'm gonna lose it guys.

How has Disney made Extraordinary? The show reeks of Channel 4 British sitcom through and through and wouldn't look out of place next to the likes of Spaced, Skins, Dead Pixels or Misfits.
Love that mix of awkward and punchy brash humour, the casting of "Jizzlord" is possibly the greatest bit of casting of all time and the soundtrack slaps. It's right on the now with the likes of Wet Leg, Self Esteem and Slowthai plus throws in all time indie favourites like The Clash, Spiritualized and The Flaming Lips too.
I'm starting to think Velma might actually be one of the greatest pieces of meta-work since Beavis & Butthead, where teenagers blankly laughed at a telly which was showing teenagers blankly laughing at a telly.
The irreverent adult cartoon sitcom has it's lost power it once had. The Simpsons created outrage for showing the decay of the Americana nuclear family has been spun into well they are wholesome loving family as they go to church, South Park which has a warning on the show to not take it seriously only to create actual political/social terms for use in the mainstream zeitgeist and then Rick & Morty fans gets celebrated for how "smart" they are for watching the show yet Velma comes along with no apologies saying it's gonna be offensive and controversial which no one believed it would is now having people hate watch it to be offended by it like a new modern Howard Stern.
In terms of playing people so they can absorb their hate to fuel the show you have to admit it's a job very well done. đź‘Ť
Saw Russell T Davies on Graham Norton Show. Doctor Who Christmas episodes are back! Christmas will be the new doctor's first full episode. November will be three specials starring David Tennant & Catherine Tate (dona noble).
The more people hate on Velma the more I can't help but think it's brilliant. I couldn’t stomach the show myself as it’s a try hard but the way it's playing the smart marks is uber tier trolling. lol
"I hate Velma as it’s offensive and controversial"
"Aren’t those irreverent sweary adult cartoons meant to be not taken seriously as they intend to be offensive"
"But no, it's making fun of everyone"
"You mean like South Park does"
"No, it's making fun of their own fans"
"You mean like Rick & Morty does"
"But no one cares or watches it"
"Hasn't all the people become emotionally invested into hate watching Velma turned it into ratings hit and people complaining about it keeps it trending on the social media webs like other must see tv which has now powered into pop culture relevance more than another so-so Scooby Doo show would have"
"But I hate it!"
@WoomyNNYes I'm still in two minds myself. Russell did a great job making modern Who but towards the end of his run was just phoning it in and I honestly found it creepy how every companion was treated badly because they weren’t Billie Piper but still a change of writer and a change of Doctor is always a good injection of energy so I'll be watching.
@Rambler They are saving that for season 2, they have got to keep people talking.
I think Velma makes for a great social experiment. The sweary adult cartoon has lost it's power to offend people nowadays like South Park wish it could still get this kinda heat but this has properly engaged people with their hate of it. It's like the next step in evolution of when people who use to watch Room to make fun of it for being bad.
I get hate watching. I went out with someone who loved True Blood and it slowly turned into me shouting the characters are fools, that plot twist doesn't make sense, why did all of that get introduced if it didn't even matter etc as that's half the fun. However that seemed more a design choice to be a thrashy soap people watch for the trashiness which I suppose is how Velma how has caught on yet Velma is obviously not to be taken seriously but has pulled everyone and taken it very seriously rather than moving on and stopped watching it.
Right now I'm rewatching Kid Cosmic, the most recent show from Powerpuff Girls creator Craig McCracken. It's one of the best serialized cartoons ever, and probably the only show to actually make me tear up a little.
I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle
Oh, I meant to reply. Regarding Doctor Who being on Disney+, yes. All new doctor who will be on Disney+. So yeah, the three specials in November & the Christmas episode will be on Disney+.
