Really poor rip off of an excellent show
4 August 2023
This was just bad. Clearly they were inspired by Once More With Feeling. The Buffy episode was thoughtful and the songs were clever. Buffy did it well and made a better than average episode.

The SNW writers must have been fans of Buffy. But they wrote a pale imitation. The songs were just flat. And while a few plot points were advanced, none were critical.

Not a fan of musicals in general, but I have been won over in the past. Buffy and Scrubs did it well. This was not well done. The songs were weak and the performances just so-so for the most part.

The highlight of the episode was the bunnies comment. How sad is it that the best moment of an episode comes from a reference to the episode being copied?

In general SNW needs to drop the gimmicks and just make good TV. They do not need gimmicks as multiple excellent episodes have proven. Sad that they wasted 10% of the season on this.

Rick and Morty: Morty's Mind Blowers (2017)
Season 3, Episode 8
9/10
Much better than Interdimensional Cable
2 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Not a huge fan of the interdimensional cable episodes. Found this to be a step above.

Enjoyed most of the clips. Really enjoyed when Morty figured out Rick had removed embarrassing Rick episodes like losing at checkers. Classic Rick.

The best scene of the episode was Summer casually asking, "Is this a scenario 3?" That and her actions upon deciding it was a "4".

Rick and Morty: The ABCs of Beth (2017)
Season 3, Episode 9
2/10
Even R&M can go too far.
2 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Just started watching Rick and Morty a few weeks ago. Binged all three seasons and loved most of it. The ABC's of Beth creeped me out.

Raping muppets and eating babies was presented as a joke. That goes too far. At least it does for me. And it was not some one-off joke. They beat that drum a few times.

The second story of Jerry's new girlfriend was amusing. Sort tame really for R&M. Maybe this was supposed to balance out the episode? All it did for me was highlight how creepy and disgusting the other story line was.

Not that the episode was devoid of humor. Rick had some good lines as always. His crack about what a good adventure needed was hilarious as was his comment about hereditary cannibalism.

Rick and Morty has pushed boundaries and I have loved it. Guess there is a line for everyone and mine is somewhere near rape as a food source.

Bloodline (2015–2017)
5/10
Started great then turned to poop
2 October 2017
Bloodline has a great cast and had a great first season. The wife and I burned through that first season in a weekend. You cared about the characters and you so wanted to know what had happened in the past.

Without spoilers I will just say that season 2 was dumb and boring and season 3 was weird and stupid. Characters changed motivations and behaved in ways at odds with season 1. Smart characters did dumb things.

If you can watch Season 1 and then stop, good for you. Season 1 is an 8 or maybe even a 9.

Season 2 might be a 5. Season 3 is rated at 1 unless zero is allowed.
