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.
Link to blog about it: https://adamdeckerthegoodfighttvshow.blogspot.com/
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

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:
Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5qMoVTAwGk
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.
Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e82JHkkPw54
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

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

Evil: This looks like it could

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

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.
