Interesting News? Tim Allen’s sitcom was picked up by ABC. Previously, he had entertained the idea of doing a Home Improvement revival, which was quickly shut down by Patricia Richardson, so this gives him another opportunity to have a long running sitcom. Remember, Last Man Standing did start on ABC, before being cancelled and moving to FOX. So, this is home base for him, and perhaps because Last Man Standing proved ABC’s brass wrong then, he’ll last longer the third time around.

Feature Presentation:
House Of The Dragon: S2E7 (MAX) audio description written by Connor DeWolfe and narrated by Roy Samuelson.
I wrote about this last week, detailing what this show needs to succeed, and I’ve even written about it before. So why did i pass on two brand new shows to rehash the audio description of House of The Dragon? Well, they did something I’ve been wanting which was rich dragon description, and I can’t just ignore that in favor of two other shows which I can dive into at any time. Episode 7 has a scene that features a bunch of bastards being offered the chance to claim a dragon, and when the dragon rises up, we get this really fantastic detailed description of specifics to this dragon, including the curled horns on top of its head. Finally, a distinguishing characteristic so I know whaat makes each dragon different, instead of a bunch of people on boats staring up into the sky like they are dragon experts. It was much needed, andd we spend so much time just staring at this dragon in all its glory, that the description was so good. i can’t fault it. There was a lot of really amazing moments in the episode, from the mention of the goat (which the writers are using to screw with us), to the description of Allicent becoming the Lady In The lake. But, a huge thank you to Connor DeWolfe for taking this time to write some rich description for a dragon. It is the reason everyone is here, so let’s make that magic happen.
