It’s probably my age, but these days I just don’t find much of the small-screen, or even large-screen, entertainment products of interest. So much lazy derivative blah….

I did find the recent series Avenue 5 humorous. It doesn’t get that good of reviews on IMDB, but I think that is because the comedy is of a definite nature that is less appealing to the US mass market. It strikes me as a bit British in the nature of its comedy.

Strangely enough, the children’s animated series Infinity Train caught my eye. It’s very charming and not insulting even to this old person. But there are some episodes in season 2 and 3 that strike me as not friendly to young children - too much violence (and death.) Some of the articles written that interview the creators mention this change in tone.

The Radcliffe/Buscemi production Miracle Workers I found humorous in the first season, but when the 2nd season came out and it was an entirely new show I lost interest quickly.

But on the whole my eyes just gloss over when I try out so many of the productions. The Marvel (and DC and Star Trek and….) franchises just whiz past me and I just can’t get into them.

Most of all I think there is too much emphasis on production technology (especially computer generated graphics) and nowhere near enough good material (written stories and scripts) to be worthy of all that production money.
