Cast Update 8-8-2021

Well, I finally did it. Against better judgment, I finally finished an update of this blog to its completion since I’ve missed the last two ones to get this done late at night. A lot of this is outdated and I’m trying to fix that. I did not have enough time for this and I will get a lot more updated in the next post since there’s not much else to say now and more of what I want to do is outdated even as of this post. But I’m done with this post and now have to work hard on the next one.

 

Patricia Arquette: The main star of CSI: Cyber has future projects mentioned on imdb right now. She does a lot, or at least did in the past. We’ll see what all she will do in the future regarding shows she does. A new project that I see her as doing is Severance.

 

Severance: This will be a TV show. It is set to be released in 2021. The plot is about a company that is trying to take work-life balance to a new level, according to the internet movie database. I’m unsure which network this will be on. The name might have changed to High Desert. Either that, or this project is no longer in the works.

 

Peter MacNicol: I can’t find much ever, if anything, for this actor. I hope that I can avoid saying things about him in a paragraph that could easily wind up outdated forever as I’ve been known for doing. So I came up with this one until the next project he’s in. He will be in a new film called Our Almost Completely True Story which we’ll see what comes of it.

 

Our Almost Completely True Story: I cannot make since of the plot, other than that it relates to Jewish people and leprechauns. Maybe it will make more sense later. It has no release date just yet. It does not have a trailer yet either.

 

James Van Der Beek: I see a project for him called Vampirina. I won’t know for sure about how long some of his shows will last so I hope that I’m not always talking about them when or if they aren’t on anymore. He will also be in Fast Foodies.

 

Vampirina: This is a show about a young vampire girl who has to adjust after a move. It is an animated Disney Junior show as vampires are a thing that kids should be educated about in some way. It is out now. I was able to see an episode of this so enjoy a review:

 

Review: Status- Possibly still on the Disney channel. Why I’ve seen it- I watched it so I could review it for this blog. Noteworthiness- This is based on a book series. Description- A vampire girl and her family move from Transylvania to the human world and we see a bunch of adventures with her new friends and family. Notable People- James Van Der Beek plays the father of the main character. Pros- The show largely works and is different enough to make it seem unlike most of the other kid’s shows. Cons- Not all of it makes sense or seems like it needs to be there. There should be more education stuff in there than there is. Note to Parents- With this intentionally targeted for kids, you do not have to worry about much in it. Whether or not you think there could be issues with the theme of this involving vampires might be the only problem I can think of about why someone would not want kids seeing this. Recommendation- I’d put this at a toss-up. There is not much wrong with it as long as you care about shows for kids. My Viewing Habits- I only saw this once and might not see it again. Prediction- I don’t care enough to put something in here. Reception: good. Grade: B-.

 

Fast Foodies: This is out now on Tru TV. I have no idea what role James might have in it. The plot basically relates to people trying to recreate a celebrity’s favorite dish for others. I guess that James will be one of the celebrities featured in it at one point. There is a trailer for this now.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NvEpWV6rIE

 

Thoughts on trailer: Well, I can’t make much out of this trailer which could mean that I couldn’t make much out of this series if I wanted to. I’m not really interested in food type shows so this doesn’t seem like it would peak my interest. It’s not you. It’s me. At least I know now that this will be on Tru TV. Sorry that its premiere has happened already.

 

Shad Moss: After his planned movie finally disappeared from imdb since it seems not to be moving forward as a project, we finally learn of something new that he will be doing. It is F9. We’ll see if I can understand that or not.

 

F9: This is in theaters now. It is an abbreviation for Fast and the Furious 9 as there have been that many thus far. I wonder if I can get into this one first and then see any of the others later after it. There is a trailer for it. The plot relates to the younger brother of the main character being recruited for REVENGE! What else will happen? I guess that I’ll have to see then.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEE4RO-_jug

 

Thoughts on trailer: There’s a lot going on with this that is hard to tell. Based on what little I’ve seen of these movies (never a whole one and part of a CinemaSins video on one), I was never expecting much realism from them. This magnet thing would have to bring out a third version of the sin counter. It looks like just what you would expect from this type of movie and I can’t tell if I’d like it or not yet.

 

I have not yet been able to see this movie. I hope that I can before too long. I will keep this notice in the updates unless or until I’m able to review the new one at some point in the future. Until then, you’ll have to wait. Hopefully, you won’t have to wait too long.

Charley Koontz: He will be in something called Eat Your Heart Out. He is also now in something called Frank and Penelope. Maybe he will do more in the future or maybe not. I can only hope that he does more. But the less a person does, the less I have to cover for my blog. I’m fine with him not doing as much.

 

Eat Your Heart Out: This has an unknown date of release at the moment. The plot will be a bit complicated as someone literally gave his heart away and needs to get it back in order to marry someone else. Seems strange, but I might like it. Still, it is a short and I don’t know how I’d be able to watch any of those. There’s a trailer for it now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfJTMnCT7Ps

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks kind of weird, but I guess that it works as an idea of what they can do with a film like this. I don’t know why a heart would be in pieces and can only hope that the cat didn’t eat any of them. I guess I’ll see if I can see what the short film is like if I’m able to see it.

 

Frank and Penelope: I don’t quite understand the plot of it yet. It seems like a man will fall in love with a stripper and that turns his life around somehow. There is no release date for this yet and no trailer either. I think that this is a movie.

 

Hayley Kiyoko: With no music videos that I can think of worth mentioning in this blog and all of her time being spent on music and not TV shows or movies, I don’t know if there is much to add in this section at the moment, but will keep it here for now and hope that she does something new.

 

Ted Danson: Surely his time off of TV means that he could be doing movies in the meantime, but we’ll see if that happens soon or not. It looks like he is doing more now that I can finally see. It looks like he is in a show called Mr. Mayor on NBC.

 

Mr. Mayor: In this show, a wealthy businessman becomes LA’s mayor. There is a lot else to this show as well as there are more characters in the world that keep up with the whole interpersonal relationships and political world that this show is part of. It is on hiatus.

 

Review: Mr. Mayor: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I had to see it to review for my CSI: Cyber blog. Description- A wealthy man wants to impress his daughter and runs for mayor of LA, an election that he unexpectedly wins, thrusting him into a new world of politics. Notable People- Ted Danson, from Cheers, Becker, CSI, CSI: Cyber, and The Good Place, is the main character. Tina Fey from Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, who also created Unbreakable Kimmi Schmidt and Great News, is the creator of this show. Bobby Monahan, also from Saturday Night Live, is a character on this show as well. Holly Hunter, from movies, is on the show. Pros- It seems like it is a pretty decent show. Cons- It does not have an original premise. Note to Parents- This could be a risky thing to let your kids watch as at least one episode focused on legalizing pot. I’d say to be careful with letting your kids see this. Recommendation- Toss-up. My Viewing Habits- I’ve seen the pilot, but am unsure yet if I will see any more of this over time. Prediction- It has been renewed for season 2 set to air next season. Reception: mixed. Grade: C.

 

Anthony E Zuiker: Finally! After all of this time wondering if the creator of one of TV’s longest running franchises is ever going to work again, I see him listed as the producer in a project. He is set to help make something called Spearfinger. And there is good news in that he will have involvement in CSI: Vegas so his franchise remains in his hands.

 

Spearfinger: This has no release date at this time. I think that it will be a movie. It is about a Native American legend regarding a woman with sharp fingers who would like to frighten people. There might need to be more to the plot than that, so we will see for sure what will happen with this project later as more information becomes available.

 

CSI: Vegas: Not much is known or could be known about this right now other than the fact that it is going to be a new part of the CSI franchise after five years without a franchise in around the 21st anniversary of the franchise. It will air on CBS, but probably won’t air until later this year. The release date is October 6, 2021. Stay tuned for more.

 

Teaser link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dONxebGWFUM

 

Thoughts on teaser: I won’t be able to get much out of this instead of a more usual trailer that I hope comes later. But I am interested in what they will have in store for us. I tend to stay hooked more into shows that have cliffhangers at some point, such as during the first episode itself in question. I just hope that the show doesn’t fail me. I do look forward to seeing these characters more in the future.

 

Carol Mendelsohn: There is a new project in store for this writer as of this update. I’m not sure where it is in terms of happening versus not happening. I will tell you about anything she is a producer of since I want to see something in these updates for her. She has a project in the works called Witchblade. We’ll have to see what happens regarding that. It appears that she will be the showrunner for the show Law & Order: For the Defense.

 

Witchblade: This is based off of a comic book. From what I can tell, it is in the magical girls genre, although it might have only one girl whose power comes from an object. I should hopefully have a plot description of it in the future. The release date is unknown at this particular time. This is no longer on imbd for reasons I don’t yet know.

 

Law & Order: For the Defense: This show will air on NBC in the future at some point in the 2021-2022 TV season. It might be the first part of the franchise to focus on defense instead of the prosecution. I look forward to it eventually.

 

Ann Donahue: There’s no new information about this writer. I’m sure that she’ll probably find something, but I’m not sure when. As of this month, there are still no new updates regarding this writer. I hope that she does something. There is nothing new to report.

 

William Petersen: He hasn’t done much outside of CSI in the world of television or movies as far as I can tell. I think that he’s busy with stage work, the likes of which I will never see, probably. It turns out that he’s starring in an important new series in terms of both this blog and other things. Sorry for burying the lead. He will appear in CSI: Vegas.

 

CSI: Vegas: Not much is known or could be known about this right now other than the fact that it is going to be a new part of the CSI franchise after five years without a franchise in around the 21st anniversary of the franchise. It will air on CBS, but probably won’t air until later this year. The release date is October 6, 2021. Stay tuned for more.

 

Teaser link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dONxebGWFUM

 

Thoughts on teaser: I won’t be able to get much out of this instead of a more usual trailer that I hope comes later. But I am interested in what they will have in store for us. I tend to stay hooked more into shows that have cliffhangers at some point, such as during the first episode itself in question. I just hope that the show doesn’t fail me. I do look forward to seeing these characters more in the future.

 

David Caruso: This CSI: Miami actor has done nothing in terms of acting for movies on TV since the show ended. This is because he is retired from acting. I’ll still keep him in the updates in case there is a change and he does wind up doing something notable in the future.

 

Gary Sinise: He has projects in the works like No Better Place to Die. He will also appear in something called Zarrar. That’s all that I seem him doing right now currently. I guess we’ll see in the future what else he might be able to do.

 

No Better Place to Die: This movie is about part of a battle during World War II. It has no release date or trailer at the moment. To date, Gary’s role is the only one that is in the movie right now and even his is just rumored so we’ll see what happens.

 

Zarrar: This is a Pakistan based movie from what I can tell and I won’t know for sure what else to say about it as it seems strange what information I can gather from it thus far. There is no release date for this yet, but hopefully there will be at some point in time.

 

Anthony LaPaglia: I don’t know much else he could be doing as that doesn’t show up right now. Maybe he will do more or maybe not. One can only hope that he does more, but maybe he doesn’t need to. He’ll be in something called Nitram that will hopefully come out at some point in the US.

 

Nitram: This may be out in foreign countries. This movie is based on the true event of the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. I have no idea right now when or if it will be in the US. Maybe it could be good as a movie, even while covering a serious topic. I am keeping this in the updates for now. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DK9RUl1BV4

 

Thoughts on trailer: This does not look interesting at all. The plot description seems much better than what the trailer seems to offer. The trailer isn’t helped by the very dull version of Chopsticks done in the background throughout nearly the whole trailer. I can’t make sense of what this is about or why someone would be so cruel.

 

Laurence Fishburne: He has a recurring role in Black-ish. But that’s not worthy of its own section in this blog as it is not a starring role. He’ll be in a TV movie called Rendlesham. Another thing he will be in is Crimson Blues. He’ll be in yet another thing called Blacksmith. He’ll also be in All the Old Knives and Under the Stadium Lights. Yet another thing he’ll be in is Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. More things that he is doing are The School for Good and Evil and a show called Bronzeville that might be on now. He’ll also be in John Wick Chapter 4, Sneaks, and MacGruber.

 

Rendlesham: This has no release date just yet. The plot relates to probably aliens in the 80s in England. I have no idea what network it might air on just yet. Hopefully, I will find out more about this in the future. We’ll see if this really is aliens or is something else entirely.

 

Crimson Blues: This has no release date yet. It seems to be about a police officer who is looking for redemption after failing in a bad case year prior or something like that. I would say that this could be good if done right. This is gone from imbd.

 

Blacksmith: This has an unknown release date. In it, a man becomes a fugitive when his lab is destroyed. Hopefully, more will be revealed beyond that in the future and I hope that we’ll find out more then in the future. It could be cool if it is made and comes out.

 

All the Old Knives: The release date is unknown at the time. It is about two federal agents and ex-lovers who have to look back on a six year ago mission to see what might have happened to another agent. It seems like it could be interesting.

 

Under the Stadium Lights: Formerly known as Brother’s Keeper, this movie doesn’t have much to it. It has a score on imdb. I will keep it in the updates for now. It is the true story of a football team from Abilene in 2009. I guess I’ll have to see the movie to find out what happens and hopefully avoid any potential spoilers that I doubt I’ll find out about anyways. There is a trailer for this that I will talk about now. This is on DVD now. I’ll tell you next post if I’m able to see it.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9PF8bmrZ44

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks like it could be good and interesting. A problem that I see with the trailer is that it seems cliché with obvious plot points possibly running through the whole story. But I still look forward to seeing it at some point. I haven’t had the chance to see it yet and don’t know when I’ll be able to. I can only hope that I will soon.

 

Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: This is set to air sometime in 2022. It looks like it would be a kid’s show based off of these characters and would be animated. There is not much else to say about this as I don’t know what network or streaming service this will be on yet and too much of this is still unknown at the moment.

 

The School for Good and Evil: In this planned movie, boys are girls are taken to a place and trained to be either heroes or villains. It is set for release in 2022. It looks like it will be done in a sort of anime style. This could be interesting or could be generic.

 

Bronzeville: This seems to be out now. But I don’t know much about it. I do not even know a plot. I don’t know what network or streaming service this is on. But I do know that it has Laurence as one of the actors in the movie at this point.

 

John Wick Chapter 4: This has nothing much revealed about it other than being a film in this series. I have no idea what this series is about. I only know that it exists. This is set to be released on May 27, 2022.

 

Sneaks: Sorry, I guess that I was premature in removing this from the updates earlier. I actually could see the movie Fatman for this blog, but I won’t at this moment for reasons I might get into at some point. Anyways, similar possibly to Everybody’s Hero, we see to see sneakers try to return to their owners. The release date is unknown.

 

MacGruber: This will be on Peacock, a streaming service. It has no release date yet. This is based on a Saturday Night Live sketch which is a parody of MacGyver. There is a trailer for this that I will talk about:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLoO-BAn4mo

 

Thoughts on trailer: Well, this isn’t as good a trailer as I would like to have for this. It might be a good show or as good as the show can be given what it is normally like. I can’t say too much about this, but hopefully it won’t be too weird.

 

Adam Rodriguez: We’ll see what all he might do in the future. He is currently set to do two different things. One of them is Ordinary Joe. The other one is A Christmas Proposal. I hope that these turn out to be good.

 

Ordinary Joe: This is set to air on September 20, 2021. I don’t see a trailer for this yet. This is a TV show that will air on NBC. It is about a man who makes a choice and we see his choice in three different timelines. Will this work where Awake didn’t? (I’m not saying that Awake was bad, it just didn’t get good ratings.) This will be on NBC on Mondays at 10/9 Central.

 

A Christmas Proposal: This is set to come out sometime in 2021. I don’t have a plot for this yet or a trailer. I’m guessing that this is going to air on Hallmark, but don’t know this for sure if that will happen. It does say that it is a TV movie.

 

Melina Kanakaredes: She will be in a movie called Wake. That is all that I see her in at the moment. She has done a lot of TV roles, be it main or recurring, so I hope to see more of her in the future. Until then, I’ll report what I know of what she’s done.

 

Wake: This has an unknown release date at this moment. Its main focus is on a lie of some sort that tore people apart. Something interesting must happen beyond that. I just don’t yet know what that will be. I look forward to seeing it, hopefully.

 

Marianne Jean-Baptiste: She has acted a lot ever since Without a Trace ended. I’ll see through time what else she appears in. She will be in something called Boxing Day. That’s all that I’m seeing in this post for now. Who knows what else she might do?

 

Boxing Day: This is set for release in 2021, presumably in either November or December. It is a movie inspired by a person’s life as he introduces his fiancée to his family and learns of the life that she left behind. One wonders if this will be like most Hallmark Christmas movies supposedly are, even though this does not appear to be a Hallmark Christmas movie. The release is said to be a UK one.

 

Kristen Bell: She is doing a whole lot still. Let’s see if I can cover all of what’s she’s done since The Good Place ended. She is in a TV show called Central Park. She will also be in a reboot of Gossip Girl. She’ll also be in Queenpins. Yet another thing she is doing is Do, Re, & Mi, a TV show. She will also be in The Woman in the House. And one last thing that I see now is called Molly and the Moon. She will be in Ultra City Smiths as well. She should also be in The People We Hate at the Wedding.

 

Central Park: This is an adult animated show on Apple TV about people who live and work in Central Park and save both it and the world. It is available now. I don’t think that there is too much else to say about it, other than that it’s by the same creators as Bob’s Burgers and even seems to have the same animation style in it too.

 

Gossip Girl: This is an HBO Max reboot set to air in 2021. I never understood the appeal of that show back then and am perfectly fine not seeing this on cable or anywhere else. I do not know if I know anyone whom I could borrow the original series from, although I will not rule that out. Also, didn’t they reveal who Gossip Girl was? Is there going to be a new person doing that in the reboot or are we just expected to forget what’s been revealed in this show already? This is streaming now.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhsV1gPVJMQ

 

Thoughts on trailer: Well, it seems like there are some aspects that could be interesting to me, but most of this is not something that I care for. I never liked the idea of the original show, but never actually gave it a chance in the end. This seems like it is focused too much on sex and other aspects of life that I’m just not that interested in seeing on this show that I wouldn’t care to watch anyways. It’s a good thing, then, that I won’t be able to see it.

 

Queenpins: In this movie, there is a coupon scam that housewives want to run. This is set to be out on September 10, 2021. I don’t think that there is too much else to say, outside of the fact that it doesn’t seem that original a premise to me just yet, given the plots of Good Girls and In the Dark. But it could be good and worth watching. We’ll see. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vYErV9vmL0

 

Thoughts on trailer: I’m not entirely sure what this type of movie is supposed to be. Is it a comedy? One would think so. But there’s enough of a dramatic part to it that it could put the rest of the comedy aspects on edge if you would. I didn’t know that this was a true story. I would guess that they got caught. I think that it could be interesting to see if I am able to see it. Also, maybe my criticism of its lack of originality was unjust.

 

Do, Re, & Mi: This is a kid’s show about bird friends who live in a music based world, it seems. I’m not entirely sure what network it will air on, if it even airs on a network at all. The release year is 2021. Maybe we’ll see in the future.

 

The Woman in the House: This is a planned mini-series. I can’t find a plot for it yet. There is no release date or trailer for it yet. The title sounds a bit ominous so it might be strange like that or maybe not. We’ll have to see later. Or maybe it relates to Bones with the way we see a title like that.

 

Molly and the Moon: This has a currently unknown release date. It is said to be a musical and appears to be written by the creators of How I Met Your Mother. (Do people still like them after they ended that show?) There is no known plot of this at the time. Maybe it will be a movie, but could be something else. Too much of this on imdb is vague right now.

 

Ultra City Smiths: This is a TV show about a celebrity’s disappearance. It has been released. I do not yet know what network or streaming service this will be on. It could be interesting, but I’d have to know more about it. There’s a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qthWw6NPMA

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks weird and I probably would have liked it better if it were live action focusing on a more serious plot. I can’t gather much from the trailer, but there sure are a hell of a lot of people in it. And I guess that’s all that I can make sense of it for now. What else is there to say?

 

The People We Hate at the Wedding: The title explains a lot of this as a family has conflict leading up to a wedding. I don’t think that there’s much else that one could say about that. It has no release date yet. It is based off of a book.

 

Marg Helgenberger: Ever since her show was cancelled, we’ll have to see what else she might be doing in the future. She isn’t doing much else right now as of yet so we’ll just have to wonder if she will be doing more later or not.

 

Rory Cochrane: It looks like he will appear in two movies or projects that might seem like them in the future. One is called Antlers. He will also be in something new called Invasion. Something new he is doing is Untitled Lakers Project.

 

Antlers: This is set for release on October 29, 2021. I don’t know if I hope that it will be in theaters then or not. It is a horror film about a child with dark secrets (because that totally hasn’t been done already before) and two siblings who are trying to save him from some sort of horrible creature. There is a trailer for this that I will talk about.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng5eyOfL8qM

 

Thoughts on trailer: Maybe this could be more interesting than I might have thought in the first place. It certainly doesn’t seem similar to The Sixth Sense and could have a more original seeming aspect to it even though a lot of the plot is similar to stuff that I know of from other horror films. It could be good in the end. It’s hard to know now for sure.

 

Invasion: In this movie, possibly a remake of others, two brothers and their father seek to protect each other (and possibly the world as a whole) from an alien threat. There is not a release date yet nor is there a trailer. I hope that this is nothing like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, unless it has a better ending than that did in the end. This movie has been renamed Encounter.

 

Untitled Lakers Project: This isn’t set to air until sometime in 2022. There is no trailer yet and I’m not sure yet what network or streaming service this might air on just yet. But I do know that this is a planned show about the 1980s Lakers.

 

Carmine Giovinazzo: He does not appear to have any current notable projects in the works in the future right now that I should keep track of just yet. With not much else to say about that, I will still include him in the post until he does something.

 

Eric Close: After seeming to do only Christmas related things for a while, he is now set to star in The Mulligan. I look forward to seeing what else he might do in the end besides that. We’ll see if there is anything else worth mentioning in the future.

 

The Mulligan: This seems to relate to golf in some ways, but is about far more than just that in the end. But I’d have to wait and see to know more about it. It does not have a release date at the moment. Let’s hope that more is known in the future.

 

William Jackson Harper: He is doing something called Dogs in Space. That is the only thing that I see him doing right now as most of what he’s done since The Good Place ended has already happened as of this update.

 

Dogs in Space: This is a planned TV show. It is set to air in 2021. There is currently not a trailer for this yet and it is not guaranteed to move forward as a project as far as I know. The plot of it relates to genetically enhanced dogs trying to find a new planet called home. It is a kid’s show that would be animated.

 

Former projects: In this section, I will keep track of shows that people in this blog used to be mentioned in as doing in some way. I might keep track of other things too. This will be used to keep track of what shows might still be on even after someone has left it in some way. Dancing with the Stars is one of these shows. Since Shad Moss’s time in it is over, I’m including The Masked Singer in this part as well.

 

Dancing with the Stars- This is currently on hiatus. I watched it at least once to see what it’s like and because James Van Der Beak was on it. This is a reality competition show where professional dancers team up with celebrities of sorts. This will be returning in the future with a new season.

 

Review: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I watched it since James Van Der Beek was in a season of it. Description- Celebrities team up with professional dancers to compete on a live show. Notable People- Carrie Ann Inaba, who is currently on The Talk, is a judge on the show. Pros- It can be better and more interesting than one might think, giving its genre. Cons- Too much time is wasted on this show due to set up to dances and other competitions. Note to Parents- Outside of sometimes inappropriate outfits, there might not be too much bad in the show, although you’d have to watch for yourself. Recommendation- This isn’t too bad, but isn’t outstanding either. The main reason why one wouldn’t want to watch it would be time commitment to other things. Prediction- This will probably keep lasting. Reception: good. Grade: B-.

 

The Masked Singer: I knew it was only a matter of time before someone that I covered in one of the cast updates was on this show. Thus, I’m going to include a review here. If I had to guess that anyone from any show I do cast updates of was going to appear on this show, I knew that it would probably be Shad Moss before it would be anyone else.

 

The Masked Singer review: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- It turns out that Shad Moss, whose career I follow for a blog, was on the show so I watched it to see what it was like. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from a South Korean show and is the first non Asian adaptation of the show. Description- Different celebrities in masks compete on a singing show where the loser gets unmasked. While all get unmasked at some point, the winner goes the longest without this fate. Notable People- Ken Jeong, from Community and Dr. Ken, is a judge on the show. Pros- This doesn’t have as bad a voting problem as other reality competition shows since what we see is always pretaped. Even if they aren’t professional singers, they can still be good. Cons- Some have complained that the results of voting is too random and can eliminate great professional singers from the game. Too much of this seems wasted on the banter between the judges and host or trying to guess the identities of the singers. Note to Parents- I haven’t seen enough of this to know if it is bad, but my guess is that this is something the whole family could watch. Recommendation- I think that it is a good show in the end and worth keeping up with if you don’t care much about anything else. My Viewing Habits- I saw this once and don’t know yet if I will see it again due to scheduling conflicts. Prediction- This will probably last quite a while since it is said to be the most watched show now. Reception: somewhat mixed. Grade: B-.

 

In order to keep track of new people, this post will start sharing a theme song from either the original CSI or CSI: New York until I’ve shared all of them in this blog and I’ve caught up with it as a result. You will have to read my Elementary blogs for the theme songs from CSI: Miami, although I will post any of them here in good time if the links become dead when I check them later.

With an upcoming new part of the CSI franchise set to appear in the future, I think that I should cover songs that The Who did over the course of time. I won’t know for sure which one that I’ll have in this blog (if any of them) will appear as the theme song of CSI: Vegas. But I will include one each month until the theme song is known for sure. I’ll have to make sure that the song as the theme song is included by then if it hasn’t been already. The songs that they’ve done thus far as theme songs in The CSI franchise are Won’t Get Fooled Again, Baba O’Riley, I Can See for Miles, and Who Are You? Will this be the next one that they do?
