Killer Kids (2011)
Creepy narration is highly annoying!
Bad enough they have a child's voice for narration, but a grown woman using a little girl voice is worse.
Misty Lee was born in 1976...
For the heinous nature of these crimes a childlike voice is simply creepy. Maybe that's what the producers wanted. IDK
I would have had a cutoff age at 12. After that they are teens.
There could have been a Killer Teens show as well.
I'd prefer no kids or teens kill anyone, but I guess it happens.
This is an additional amount of drama added. Kids aren't very clever and use whatever weapon is handy to commit the murder.
I can't imagine kids putting much planning into the crimes. So it would be more spur of the moment.
Sure you could have a lot of rage for someone and even wish them harm or think what might happen if you dropped an anvil on their head. Yes, it's gonna kill them, but you're not gonna stick around cause not much else is gonna happen. Showing the neighbor kids what they've done isn't a good idea cause one of them will spill the beans.
So what happens now? They run away or hide out. Eventually they get caught.
In between building the drama we're treated to close up shots of the victim or the killer. Over and over. Someone must have thought this was a good idea. It sure is a time waster. The producers used a horrible act to fill 20 minutes when you could have told the story in 15. They need something to pad the show.
The real crimes here are a baby-voiced narrator and whomever ran off with a large portion of the alleged $500,000cad budget? They certainly failed to pass much on to the writers. I'm sure the visual effects people got a nice chunk until other members of the production staff saw what they did and decided they could do it themselves. (Note to anyone in a graphics or visual position. Your input is valuable. Your work can be expensive. The boss thinks you are not necessary and anyone can do it. A lot of people can, but they don't have your talent and their sad attempt will show it.
So keep a little of your knowledge hidden. If someone starts looking over your shoulder pull up another screen to confuse them.)
Killer Kids is no longer in production.
I don't know what all involved are now doing. Kids are still killing. More and more tv channels are coming online and they need content. Nobody wants to see Kind Kids or Nice Nans. They want Decapitated Dads or Murdering Mom on Monday.
Bizarre Murders (2018)
Fake? Real? Who cares? Steve Moore makes this better than other 'crime' shows.
I'd like to base this on a wider selection of the shows, but the Justice channel seems to only run about ten episodes of this 45 episode series. Over and over.
Just where is Bizarre Murders produced? NYC? LA? Doubtful. Though some of the crimes are written to take place in these and other exotic locations the abundance of Canadian actors leads me to think Vancouver. I have nothing against Canadians. I even spoke with a few during a layover in a Toronto airport and none of them said 'oot', so I'm thinking the oot-saying Canadians must all be actors. (Canadians are too polite to ask if you could carry one of their bags through security.)
The actor portraying the NYPD detective must have missed all of the US police shows. I lived in NYC. I know how the police sound for real. None of them said 'oot'.
So the premise of the shows is fake? IDK. Fake-ish is more like it. Overdone? Yes.
Scripts vaguely resembling a genuine crime. Why not!
Television has become interwoven with real life so a real life crime based on a tv show was bound to happen.
And the acting...don't get me started. Ok, get me started.
Some of these actors are on par with top soap opera stars. Had the US networks not cancelled most of the daytime soaps these actors could have stayed within their element. I'd hate to see someone out of work in their chosen field so I'm pleading with the networks to bring back the soaps. I remember women talking about how they couldn't miss their 'storeys'. I have never heard anyone missing their daytime talk shows.
They could bring back some game shows as well. Actors waiting for a break on the soaps could use some $$ and valuable prizes to get by. I'd like a new kitchen and some Rice A Roni. Who wouldn't?
Which brings me to Steve Moore.
Steve Moore should be on every tv show.
I've seen him on other, similar, less fakey shows and he is way more funny with genuine ad-libs.
Steve's ad libs seem scripted on Bizarre Murders. His delivery stills carries the joke, but when somebody
else writes your material it's not the same. He sounds a little sad sometimes.
At least he's not carrying on about his 25 years in the FBI.
On his other shows it could be a good drinking game, but those shows are only 30 minutes. Not nearly enough time to get a buzz no matter the size of your drinking requirement.
Those other shows are also on random times of the day. Only the most hardcore of drinkers could start the game at nine in the morning and follow Steve around the clock. Well, there was this woman I knew, but I hope she's given it up by now.
And thankfully a Bizarre Murders episode is 30 minutes long!
There are many other "Crime" shows where they take this half hour show and stretch it to an hour. Or Two!!
The episode I watched this evening had some continuity problems. Mainly key parts of the plot were missing. I'm not blaming the producers I'm blaming the Justice Network for 13 minutes of advertisements during a half hour show. Naughty, naughty. There were so many commercials I forgot what I was watching. The same advertisements over and over again. On this and every other Digital Subchannel. An over abundance of 2-5 minute long commercials with 480p.
One day there will be a Bizarre Murders show where the plot revolves around programming directors turning up dead. The causes will vary. One put to the test of an exercise regimen. One had too many dietary supplements. One made too beautiful or too young looking. One actually believed in the hdtv antenna!
Who could solve this crime? Somebody with 25 years experience in the FBI! Somebody who feels like they've been on mediocre television crime shows for another 25 years!
Hang in there Steve. In a perfect world you could host 60 Minutes, but for now Dateline will do.
(a few lines I couldn't wiggle in anywhere,
Crime? Well, the acting is criminal. The script? Well, nobody would admit if it was plagiarized.
And the sets? I heard SCTV was considering legal action.)
