Politics: The Phenomenon of Conservative Punching Bags

In recent history, there seems to be a phenomenon with conservatives where they always go after the same liberal over and over again with attacks of negativity. They always pick on this person in different ways. They complain about other liberals that have any associate with this main hated liberal. And they do this while ironically complaining about hatred towards the guy in the White House. This phenomenon is that they basically turn a liberal into a punching bag of which the conservatives always pick on.

You might wonder, why I am calling it conservative punching bags instead of liberal punching bags? Well, I believe that the term works since they are the ones that are throwing the punches and they always use the same thing to punch, like you would with a punching bag.

There have been three conservative punching bags in recent years. The first was obviously Obama. While conservatives act as if treating the then current president with contempt was a completely outrageous idea, this was the third out of the third presidents that I remember who was hated for simply being in charge. In fact, this tends to happen to almost every politician. But whether or not they get to be a punching bag was something I had never seen before.

Basically, using comparisons to Obama and treating him as nothing by a dirty stinking liberal who deserves the blame for all the gridlock that they were actually causing themselves, he became their punching bag as he was blamed (by sarcastically being thanked) for all that went wrong, often what they were doing themselves. They refused to work with him and then blamed him for all that wasn’t getting done. This fooled a lot of people as it does to this day.

You’d think that constantly beating a black man, even metaphorically, would get people into trouble. Plus, Obama was guaranteed to leave office the same way the last two ones were: term limits. Thus, when the 2016 election season was on, Hillary Clinton wound up being their new punching bag. She wound up being attacked relentlessly with her email scandal (which she has since been cleared in). Her husband faced attacks again too despite her arguably being a better person than him. Whether or not she’d be a better leader than her husband will never be known. We just know that even after losing, they continued to attack her as if that would make Trump’s own failures any better.

At some point, conservatives would need a new punching bag. Eventually fighting won battles of the past would be too tiring and they would need someone new to focus on instead. At some point during the Democratic primary, that person emerged. Choosing Joe Biden as their new punching bag, their relentless attacks turned to him instead of anyone else.

Part of this played into the Ukraine scandal. While it was clear to even most Republican’ts that the guy in the White House did something wrong (and yet all but one of them failed to vote to remove him from office), they spend valuable time arguing dear leader did not do anything wrong by completely trying to change the focus of the impeachment hearings by making it about someone who wasn’t even on trial. And this wasn’t the type of crime were proving someone else’s guilt proves your innocence. Now we are guaranteed to have someone who was one party’s focus of the scandal be elected president for four years.

This set the ball into motion of the constant attacks on Joe Biden during the presidential primary for that party. Despite this, or perhaps because of this, Joe Biden was chosen to be the party’s nominee. Regardless of if he gets elected president (which he probably will), he will continue to be the attacks of conservatives for quite some time until maybe the next conservative punching bag is found. They may already have one in Kamala Harris.


In conclusion, the conservatives of today love picking on specific liberals. They have done this throughout Obama’s time in office. They did this to Hillary Clinton even long after the fight was over even in a victory. Now they are doing this to Joe Biden. And they will do this again to whoever they feel is the most high profile Democrat around right now.

Politics: The Wrongs’ Push to Redefine Slavery

With the Trump based political posts gone from this blog, it is now time that I introduced the next theme for this blog’s political posts. I am going to do posts that relate to Republicans. I also like to call them the wrong because they aren’t right. Expect these posts in this blog for all the future posts unless or until I state otherwise.

Now there seems to be a common theme among Republicans to redefine words or not admit what words they say actually mean. They just say, “Oh, this bad.” This problem actually exists with the controversial topic of slavery. It can mean different things. In this country, it typically refers to the raced based slavery that was legal in this country. It can also, nowadays, refer to human trafficking or sex based slavery that was never legal and appears in many countries besides just ours. If you had Republicans define it, then it would mean something else entirely to them in this world nowadays.

What do I mean by this? Well, basically, if the Democrats want to pass some sort of legislation that could help advance society in some way, this is decried by the wrong as slavery somehow. Why are they doing this? Well, apparently, if someone is required to get something like social security or Obamacare, they think that this enslaves people in a way. It doesn’t make sense, but it is not supposed to.

I do not know just how much this dumb rhetoric is used. It isn’t that common in my mind. I was not even sure just how much such a topic is used. Have people reading this heard what I was talking about? Don’t Republicans often use arguments trying to change the meaning of what the basic concept of slavery is? And isn’t it dumb? If we were all required to have guns, would that be a form of slavery? I don’t think so.


That’s all for this post as I can’t think of what else I should talk about in this post. Maybe people know what I’m talking about or maybe they don’t. I feel that this is a problem at times for that party as they just don’t understand what words mean.

Cast Update 8-7-2020

There is a lot to potentially talk about in the introduction of this blog. For one, I might be having issues with blogger and the new format that they are forcing upon us that might mean that this blog disappears with me not being able to transfer it to the new format at all. I can only hope that doesn’t happen at all. Now I will talk some about The Good Fight, even more than usual, perhaps. It seems that they will be airing episodes 1-5 and 7 of the third season on BET sometime in the near future. I don’t know if any more will air on the CBS network at all or not. I also don’t know when they will be filming more of that show or not. I guess that we’ll have to wait and see. Also, starting with this post, I will be getting rid of one random project each post with the first one already gone.

Spin-off information- My review of the spin-off will follow later in this post. It will probably stay for as long as the show is still on. If the show leaves the air, then I’ll probably cut it. I did create a blog for it. I guess that I will just have to keep you updated on when it might be released in the future.


A recent sort of controversy with The Good Fight relates to things that were said in an episode that a real person didn’t respond well to. There are two real issues with this. One is clearly over the use of the term shyster. If that were the only issue, then it would be stupid for someone to even try to claim that it was inappropriate given the type of person that you are. The other issue might be worth addressing and probably shouldn’t have been put in the show at all. If you want to know more about it, here is a link with more information.


Julianna Margulies: There’s not much that I see her doing right now. I might add the previous movie to the list if I can figure out what’s going on with it. But I might just add that elsewhere and the figure out what is going on later with things.

Josh Charles: I hope that I see more from him in the future or this will be a fairly short segment that you will always see. It is hard to tell for sure what goes on with some of the projects of his or other people’s in this blog to be honest. He’s in something called Away.

Away: This has a release date of September 4, 2020. This will be on Netflix. All I know is that it’s about an astronaut missing her family while on a dangerous mission. Josh is just one of the two people cast for this right now. This might be out now, but don’t know for sure yet if it is. It has a trailer now that I will talk about.


Thoughts on trailer: Since this is just a teaser trailer, I can’t gather much from it yet as a result. It looks like it could be interesting, but I’d have to know more about it to know for sure. Maybe I’ll watch it sometime or maybe not.

Graham Phillips: We’ll see if we see more of him there in the future or not. Hopefully, he will be doing more than just that in the future. I guess I’ll have to see what could happen with his career in the future… Maybe a lot of things just hasn’t happened with him yet.

Archie Panjabi: This actress did a lot after leaving the show. She is doing Departure, mentioned more in the next part of this blog as usual. She also appears to be in something called Fairytale. She had a minor role in the British sitcom Still Open All Hours. She’ll also be in a TV show called Run, not to be confused with the movie that is mentioned elsewhere in this post.

Departure: This has been released. It is a Canadian show about the search for victims of a possible plane crash. It will air on the Global network that I don’t think that I’ll be able to see any time soon. But I’ll keep track of this as much as I’m able to.

Fairytale: This has no release date or trailer at this time. It is about a romantic story that is based off of real people in some way. I have no idea yet what the title has to do with the story, but will wait and see what movie might be like.

Run: This is on hiatus, but does air on HBO. The plot is about two lovers finally activating a plan to disappear with each other. There is a trailer for this so I’ll see what’s going on with it. I hope that this having the same name as another project isn’t too confusing. I’ve decided that since it seems like she has too minor a role in this show, that I will be removing it from the updates as a result of that.


Thoughts on trailer: I can’t gather much from this, but I guess that these people are a bit crazy and the show would hopefully reveal more later about why this is happening and why these people are acting like this. It could be interesting, but maybe not something that I would care too much about missing.

Christine Baranski: After rejecting various pilots and other projects in the hopes of getting a spin-off from the Good Wife, she got what was wanted and will be on a Good Wife spin-off. It will only be available on CBS All Access (and hopefully DVDs in the future). The spin-off is called The Good Fight. She’ll also be in a movie called Bad Moms’ Moms. We’ll see what becomes of that. She’ll also be in something called Christmas on the Square that is a movie. Another thing she will be in is The Gilded Age. That might be it for now.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online at CBS all access and in other formats. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Bad Moms’ Moms: This has no trailer and no release date just yet. It doesn’t have a plot yet outside of being the third installment of the Bad Moms franchise. I imagine this would likely relate to the end of Bad Moms Christmas. Still, I hope that they come up with a better title for it. Is there something wrong with “Bad Grandmas” as a title?

Christmas on the Square: This has no trailer yet. It is set to be released in 2020. It is about residents of a small town not wanting to be bought out by a big corporation. I’m not sure what Christmas has to do with it, but I guess we’ll see.

The Gilded Age: This is a TV show with a currently unknown release date. This will air on HBO. You might have remembered me talk about this in my TV show blog where I put it with the cancelled shows since it was never made and never brought to series. Well, just like with Emerald City, this has found new life again and is set to air on HBO.

Matt Czuchry: All of this time that you’ve seen me doing updates for him in this blog, you only saw me mentioning the reboot of Gilmore Girls. Well, I can finally take that off the update list and report on something new he is finally doing. It is a TV show called The Resident.

The Resident: This is a show that is on hiatus. I’m not sure if there’s a better way of putting it than calling it a medical drama, which is what it would be. The main thing that would make it different is it focusing more on medicine than other shows have, according to one description that I read of it. That description may be wrong upon seeing the trailer, although I’d have to see the show to know for sure. A review of the show now follows.

The Resident: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this for my Good Wife blog and to fulfill my promise to watch a midseason replacement on FOX this season. Description- This is a medical drama that features different doctors, some new, and there are various problems at the hospital at times. It seems a rather complicated plot that is hard to sum up easily. It should make more sense as it goes along. Notable People- This has Matt Czuchry who used to star in The Good Wife and Gilmore girls. It also has Emily VanCamp who starred on Brothers and Sisters as well as Revenge. Pros- It points out the flaws that can happen in a hospital, but does it in a good way. It can seem more humanizing than most medical dramas that I’ve seen in the past. Cons- It seems similar to House. The lead can be strange and arrogant. Note to Parents- It airs with a content adversary warning in some episodes so that’s all you really need to know about it. Recommendation- I’d say that this is good to stay into if you want to. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch this until the very end. Whether I’ll be able to see every episode or not remains to be seen. Prediction- It is hard to tell for sure this early, but I think that it might last a bit for now. Reception: mixed. Grade: B.

Makenzie Vega: She has been working since The Good Wife ended. Sadly, she hasn’t been doing that much. I haven’t been able to find something that I could review just yet. I hope that she ends up doing something good soon. Otherwise, I guess this will be one less person to worry about. She will be in something called Exploited. Another is called Growing up Gorman.

Exploited: This movie is set for release in 2020. It is about a new college student who is obsessed with the previous owner of his school issued laptop. I guess that we will see more about this later (I hope) as time goes by.

Growing up Gorman- The name of this movie is based on a character from the movie. It has no release date or trailer just yet. The person in this wants to win a battle of the bands competition. We’ll see if it avoids being cliché or not.

Alan Cumming: Here’s an actor who’s known for starring in Broadway plays and productions. Perhaps you have seen him on the Tony Awards that you always watch because you can’t afford to see Broadway any other way. It looks like he has a lot of future projects in the works. He is in Bright in a Hollow Sky. Yet another thing that he appears to be doing is a TV movie called Going Back. There’s also a new project called Run. Another new thing he’s doing is called Dunes of Overveen. He might also be in a show called The Prince. That’s a lot of projects to keep track of. He will also be in Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men.

Bright in a Hollow Sky: This is a movie about people trying to find what they have lost by going on a road trip to do so. It doesn’t have a release date or trailer just yet. Hopefully it can do better than other projects where nothing seems to come from it.

Going Back- This does not have a release date or trailer just yet. It focuses on a man who creates a frenzy by pretending to be a teenager. It seems to be set in Scotland, so that might be where it might be released. Hopefully, it will be released here too.

Run: This has no release date, but it does have a trailer. The plot is about a man who seems to have lost something important and will try to live life in a different way from this point forward. I’m guessing that running in some way will factor into the plot. It might be out, but I can’t find much information about it right now. There is also a movie of the same name set to be released soon.


Thoughts on trailer: This looks very good and interesting, although I’m not sure that I can make anything out of the plot just yet. I’ll have to see what becomes of it in the future. Whatever it is, I hope to see it and want to watch it, not just out of an obligation to doing this blog in the future.

Dunes of Overveen: This is a movie about World War II and how artists were turned into soldiers. It has no release date right now. I hope to find out more about this later and I guess we’ll see what becomes of it in the future. I’m not sure right now if this is still moving forward as a project. This isn’t on imdb.

The Prince: This is an animated show that seeks to look into the life of a prince that might be real as the show is obviously a comedy in the meantime. It has no release date or trailer right now. I’m not yet sure what network this will be on.

Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men: This had no release date or trailer at the moment right now. Apparently in this movie, a mother tells her daughter about her sex life in hopes that her daughter will learn from this.

Zach Grenier: Well, he’s finally doing things, such as being in a movie called The Vizitant. He’s also in The White Stuff. He will be a fourth season regular on The Good Fight. We’ll see what else he does over the course of time while still working.

The Vizitant: This is set to be released sometime in 2020. Apparently, this movie is about a defeated politician who is given the power to change the world by a mysterious entity. Perhaps the Monitor is giving him the book of destiny. Whatever will happen, I hope to find out more when there is a trailer for this. I hope for a release date soon as well.

The White Stuff: This is set for release in 2020. In it, a man learns something very weird about himself: he can’t see race. This is a short of some sort. It sounds interesting, but I have no idea if I’ll be able to see any shorts like this one or not.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online only at CBS all access. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Matthew Goode: He has been doing a lot of projects since leaving The Good Wife. I might as well get to mentioning all of them. A project of his is called A Discovery of Witches, which would be a TV show. Another new thing he appears to be doing is Medieval. Yet another movie he’ll be in is The King’s Man. We’ll see what happens with them. Another new thing he is in is Silent Night.

A Discovery of Witches: This is out now. It will air on the Sky network which I think is British and not American meaning that I doubt that I’d be able to see it. The plot makes it seem like a supernatural show that has witches and vampires who have to work together even though they shouldn’t trust each other. It has a trailer now:


Thoughts on trailer: This seems mysterious and possibly interesting. It does seem to have some of the usual concepts of forbidden love and could wind up focusing too much on sex in some places that it probably shouldn’t. I just wish that it would air in the US. Maybe it will in the summer of 2019 on the CW. Otherwise, you’ll just see it here in these updates for as long as I keep it here.

Medieval: This is a movie with an unknown release date. I don’t know if this is based on a true story or not. But it seems like it is about two people and how they seek to win against an army of people. They probably have people helping them with it.

The King’s Man: This looks like it will be a prequel to the Kingsman series of movies. I’ll probably post review of the other movies in the series at some point. That will at least give me an excuse to watch them again. Its release date has changed to September 18, 2020. There is a trailer for this now that I will talk about. There are newer trailers that I don’t care about right now.


Thoughts on trailer: I can’t gather much from a teaser like this, but may keep it in here instead of going with an official trailer later. You see, this looks interesting to me like all the other movies in the franchise have thus far. I look forward to seeing it. I just wish that a bit more could be revealed about it.

Silent Night: This movie pretty much has family coming together for Christmas. I do not know how or if they will put an original spin on this. It is set to be released in 2020 at the time. It does not have a trailer. It might only be a UK movie as it doesn’t mention an American release date.

Cush Jumbo: She’s doesn’t appear to be doing anything right now since her time in The Good Fight ended. It is possible that she will return at least once to wrap up what happened to her character. I think that she’s a mom now so I don’t know what all that would take out of her life.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan: He is now in the cast of The Walking Dead. He’ll also be in something called Shrine. Something else he is in is Friday Night in with the Morgans that I don’t know if I’ll be able to see. We’ll see what else he does.

The Walking Dead: This is a popular gory cable zombie drama about humans trying to save themselves from what is known as The Walking Dead, or walkers, zombies who are often the bad guys. But who else are causing problems?

Review: Status- Currently on AMC at times. Why I’ve seen it- I borrowed this on DVD from a friend in order to review it for this blog. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from comic books of the same name. Description- A man wakes up from a coma to find that he now lives in a world with zombies, his old world gone. Notable People- Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who was in The Good Wife, is now on this show. Pros- It has a good premise that works for the most part. Cons- It can be too slow moving and seem longer than it needs to be. Note to Parents- I wouldn’t let your kids watch this. Teens might be safe, but I might steer clear of that too. Recommendation- Maybe this is worth watching if you like this sort of show. I’d put it at a toss-up myself as to whether or not to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch the whole first season on DVD. Whether or not I’ll see any more after that is unknown. Prediction- I think that it is close to ending sometime in the near future. Reception: largely positive. Grade: B-.

Shrine: This has no release date at the time. It continues the whole small town crime conspiracy that Hollywood is known for doing at times. The protagonist is a journalist and if I had to guess, the antagonist is everyone else.

Friday Night in with the Morgans: This show is effectively a talk show with Jeffrey and his wife as they talk about life during the pandemic with people stuck at home for now and other things like it. It is out now, but I don’t know where to find it yet.

Robert King: Here is where we switch to writing credits. He and his wife are helping with The Good Fight. He’s also doing a TV show called Evil. We’ll see if that makes it past the pilot phase. He’s working on another TV show called Girls with Guns.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online only at CBS all access. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm.

Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Evil: This looks like it could be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical one woman, two men set up. This is currently on hiatus. Will it have any supernatural elements or will everything be explained? Maybe we’ll find out what will happen.

Evil: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this to review it for a blog. Description- A woman and others have to deal with the idea of what makes one evil and if there are supernatural abilities behind it or not. Notable People- This is created by Robert and Michelle King who also did The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and BrainDead. It stars Michael Emerson from Person of Interest, Lost, and Arrow. Pros- It has a lot to offer in terms of understanding the human mind. Cons- It might be too mysterious at some points in the long term. I just hope they decide whether or not to include supernatural elements for sure at some point. Note to Parents- This is probably not something that you want your kids watching. Recommendation- I’d say that this is pretty good to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to see as much of this as I can and have watched since the first episode aired. Prediction- This has been renewed for a second season, but might not have additional episodes this season. We’ll see if it lasts longer than that or not. Reception: positive. Grade: B-.

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on CBS all access. It is unknown when this is coming out. I could not find out more information upon further research as I doubt google would be helpful with this.

Michelle King: Since she is married to the previous person, it would appear that she would probably have the same projects in the works as her husband. This section may be redundant since any similar projects that these people have would be the same thing and thus have the same information. She is working on The Good Fight. She’s also doing Evil and Girls with Guns.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online only at CBS all access. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will.

Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Evil: This looks like it could be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical one woman, two men set up. This is currently on hiatus. We’ll see how long it might last. At least we know season 2 will come sometime.

Evil: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this to review it for a blog. Description- A woman and others have to deal with the idea of what makes one evil and if there are supernatural abilities behind it or not. Notable People- This is created by Robert and Michelle King who also did The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and BrainDead. It stars Michael Emerson from Person of Interest, Lost, and Arrow.

Prediction- This has been renewed for a second season, but might not have additional episodes this season. We’ll see if it lasts longer than that or not. Reception: positive. Grade: B-.

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on CBS all access. It is unknown when this is coming out. This will likely be about girls with guns. But more of a plot beyond that is unknown.

Erica Tazel: This former Good Fight actress has two projects in the works. One is called The Summer People. She’s also going to be in something called Cognitive. I don’t think that there is much else to gather from her career just yet.

The Summer People: This has no release date or trailer right now. It is about people who are forced to work with others to last in some way. I have no idea right now what this might be about and will have to wait until more is known. This will be a TV movie.

Cognitive: This is possibly out already. It will be a short. It does have a trailer that I will talk about. In this story, people are lead to believe that they aren’t growing up at all due to something about the way they were raised or something like that.


Thoughts on trailer: Okay, so this doesn’t reveal anything outside of the plot that we already know based on what imbd says the official plot of this is. What else is there to say about this? I have no idea. We’ll have to wait until it is out to know more.

Poppy Montgomery: After her show was cancelled, she has not yet started doing anything else that I can find right now. I plan to be back later with more information if I get it. I don’t know if she acts less now than she used to. We’ll see what she does.

Former projects: From now on, a list of projects that the cast has done of things that once had them in it but no longer do will be mentioned in this section below. It will largely be used to keep track of TV shows that used to star these people and what became of these shows. It might be used on occasion for other things as well, depending on what I feel would work here. This includes Blindspot. I also have more information about the movie Four Kids and It which is worth putting back in this blog.

Blindspot: This show over now. A review will follow. This is the show about a woman who wakes up with amnesia and uses her tattoos to solve crimes. The plot has evolved some in more recent seasons, but enjoy this standard review nonetheless.

Review: Blindspot: Why I’ve seen it- I was interested in the idea of it. Description- For mysterious reasons, a woman has amnesia and tattoos all over her body and there are crimes solved based off of this. Pros- The show is intriguing and interesting. The plot likes to evolve so you don’t always know what to expect each season. Cons- The show can seem similar to other types of dramas in a way. It can also be more violent than it needs to be. It is often confusing. It can be hard to understand and follow. Note to Parents- I’d say that this is something that teenagers can watch, but not any younger than that. I think that all the episodes I’ve seen thus far were TV14. Recommendation- I’d say that this is worth watching. My Viewing Habits- I missed a lot of this for various reasons, but have seen it and more or less been into it at times since the very first episode. Cancellation reasons- The ratings declined enough that they figured that they should end it. Similar shows- MacGyver, Manifest, and Magnum P.I. DVD suggestion- I would recommend getting the whole series. Reception: positive. Grade: B+.

Four Kids and It: It turns out that this is on DVD and I noticed this when I was at a video store where I sometimes rent movies from. Thus, I am including it here until I get a big review of it in this blog sometime.
