new shows, spring and summer 2017

I have found Tangled: The Series to be an amusing and somewhat different animated Disney series. It picks up immediately where the movie left off, when Rapunzel has been reunited with her parents. Rapunzel and Eugene/Flynn move into the castle and Eugene proposes to her in the first episode, although she turns him down.
The only new character is Cassandra, her sword-fighting lady-in-waiting, who has mixed emotions about both Rapunzel and Eugene. There is a continuing storyline about their evolving friendship and how Rapunzel gets to know her parents.

The first episode last night was awesome. Was very impressed as how well they accomplished what I thought would be an impossible task to follow the book.

I don't get Starz, so this will be a time when I get a streaming subscription for a month this summer and binge it.

4. date my dad

Date My Dad is a new drama on Up TV. I thought it was going to be a sitcom, but it's not. It's about a 40-year-old widowed father, his three daughters, and his mother-in-law (Raquel Welch).
The main character of Ric is played by Barry Watson, who will remind you of Michael Keaton. Everyone is trying to find dates for him.
The episodes are very reminiscent of a Hallmark movie, not just the plots, but the scenes and the conversations as well. I'll keep watching it for a while as it is light entertainment.

The first episode of Still Star-Crossed was of the last few scenes of Romeo and Juliet, with other additional scenes regarding the other characters. It was very confusing. The second episode was much better, although you can predict the ending of the series. I will keep watching it as there isn't anything else on Monday nights that I currently watch.

7. hooten and the lady

Hooten and the Lady is the story of a treasure hunter and a museum employee looking for relics of history. It's an amusing, lighthearted, preposterous and occasionally sexist dramedy. If you've seen the Indiana Jones movies or TV shows, the Romancing the Stone movies, Tales of the Gold Monkey, the Allan Quartermain movies, any mummy or tomb robber movies or TV episodes, you've seen this before.
