What Shows With Potential Failed to Do For Me

First things first, I really enjoyed Maya and Marty when it came out.  These are two comedians who are exceedingly talented but after a while the gags were tired and useless.  I am hoping both of them are given a better chance to do something noteworthy, something better than an SNL or Johnny Carson ripoff (God bless you Johnny, you were the best of the best and then you left us !).   Then there comes The Good Place.  Here was a show I liked at first glace. It reminded me of Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies because it covered the same subject matter.  Only difference is it took place in Heaven.  I found it funny that they said all the artists dwelt in Hell.   I jokingly responded to that, 'Oh, well, guess *I'm* screwed.'  (ROTFL).
I also stopped watching Superstore because it was really hitting me way too close to home.   Don't get me wrong, I don't mind laughing at myself and the bad decision I made to re-enter the world of retail, but it isn't something I will be doing ever again unless I have a full-frontal lobotomy.  The last show I stopped watching was Son of Zorn.  It was a rip-off/spoof and satire of all beloved cartoons of the '80s.  It was like Roger Rabbit meets He-Man crossed with Thundercats and maybe hints of Korgoth of Barbaria and Herculoids. 

 Other than that I have found new shows to uphold my love, like Blunt Talk, which is a heckuva lot of fun to watch.  I'm also enjoying Ash V. the Evil Dead, Walking Dead (what the heck with that season opener, thought my eyes would run dry of tears), Fresh Off the Boat (it's even better than I remember), Amazing World of Gumball, Regular Show (now it's in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE), Adventure Time, Stephen Universe, Star Wars: Rebels, Star V. the Forces of Evil, Milo Murphy's Law, MLP:FIM, Transformers: Rescue Bots (why they won't update or renew Pound Puppies is beyond me), JoJo's Bizaare Adventure, Naruto: Shippuden, Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans, One Piece, Rick and Morty (when the new season comes out), Supernatural, Grimm (when the new season begins), Gotham, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., This Is Us, Queen Sugar, Atlanta, NCIS LA, Scorpio, Bob's Burgers, The Simpsons and of course TBBT.  

Shows I'm looking forward to
Mars (looks *very* impressive, and it covers one of my favorite planets, other than Saturn)
The Man With a Plan (I hope this does well, it looks promising)
The final season of Orphan Black
The latest season of Doctor Who (I can't contain my excitement)

The Slo Mo, Voiceless Leader

  Synopsis: An AU/reboot of Sonic Underground, the third and final Sonic cartoon produced by DiC Entertainment. The "good" Robotnik from the episode "Six is a Crowd" meets the evil one. In a backstory, the three hedgehogs appear to come across the Oracle of Delphius (actually an evil clone created by the evil Robotnik) who forces Sonic to make a deal - his voice and speed in exchange for being with Sonic's beloved Amy Rose, whom Robotnik deceives Sonic into thinking he cannot marry, as he is a royal and she is a commoner. It is up to the good Robotnik, as well as the hedgehogs' (formerly evil counterparts) to help save Sonic. The royal firstborn blue hedgehog also figures out King Jules' and Queen Aleena's location at long last!   Dedicated to the true voice of Sonic, Jaleel White. Chapter 1—Tell Us Everything !       Mobius was experiencing an uprising and Robotnik was growing more agitated as the revolutionaries became more militant.

Wedding at the Playhouse

Synopsis: Continuing from "Pajama Party at the House of Mouse", Herman Norman "Pee-Wee Herman" Ruebens and his beloved, Yvonne Chambers, are finally getting married. “ L is for the way you look at me, O is for the only one I see, V is very, very, extraordinary. You’re the one that I adore, no one could ever want you more.’--Lyrics from L-O-V-E as sung by the often imitated but never duplicated Nat King Cole “A life without love isn’t worth living. What’s life without love ? It’s a tree that bears no fruit. It’s sleeping without dreaming. At times, it’s the inability to sleep. It’s living one day after another waiting for the sun to shine into a room that’s completely painted black, where you know the key is but have no desire top open the door and go out.”--Karla, Hippie, Paulo Cohelo Chapter 1—The Most Romantic Wedding of All It was Yvonne Chambers, soon to be Ruebens, favorite day of the year. Ever since she had
