A Reminder That Sweet Tooth is a Show, and It’s Good

There are so many TV shows to watch these days that I lose track and forget a few of them. And nobody talks about the smaller shows, so they come and go and I miss them. I was two months late to the second season of that new Masters of the Universe cartoon and it was awesome! I almost missed the second season of Velma!

Fortunately, I do randomly catch the occasional trailer, like this one for the third and final season of Sweet Tooth. I really enjoy this show, though I forget it exists when I’m not actively watching it.

Sweet Tooth is a great show! As I understand, it’s very different from the comic, but only because it’s sweeter and nicer than the apparently gruesome comic. This is a fun show with fun characters, and I’m definitely looking forward to season 3.

Too bad it doesn’t come to Netflix until June 6, so I’ll probably forget it exists.

TV Trailer Monday Doesn’t Have the Same Ring

It’s Monday again, like always. And I’ve got to fill the void with something. Last Monday, I have movie trailers, and Movie Trailer Monday had some good alliteration. But TV Trailer Monday doesn’t have the same ring to it. What’s up with that? What kind of clown show am I running here?

But hey, how about a trailer for the fifth and final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel!

I really like this show and I’m very excited for the final season. The fourth season was an interesting one, and it ended on a really strong note. And I think the promise is there to go out in a really special way. At least I hope so. Trailer looks OK, at least. The final season comes to Amazon Prime on April 14.

Next up is the trailer for the second season of Sweet Tooth on Netflix. I enjoyed the first season and am definitely looking forward to a second.

Is it the final season? Considering how Netflix runs, probably. Hopefully it ends well too, when it’s suddenly cancelled between seasons. A cliffhanger would be a real bummer. But the action looks good, the stakes look raised, and everything seems quality to me. So my hopes are up.

Sweet Tooth returns on April 27.

Sweet Tooth is Gonna Be A TV Show

We all have dreams. Goals, perhaps. Me personally, I want to be a fiction writer. I’ve wanted to be a fiction writer since I was a young boy. These days, that dream is kind of focused around writing comics. Perhaps you’ve heard me mention Gamer Girl & Vixen before?

But here’s the thing, I kind of suck at making fiction writing happen. I’m just not doing it. I still have the dreams…but man…I dunno. Anyway, all of this is leading up to the trailer for the Sweet Tooth TV show coming out next month on Netflix.

Sweet Tooth is a comic written by Jeff Lemire for DC’s Vertigo imprint. I don’t know Jeff Lemire, though I’m fairly certain I’ve enjoyed his work in the past. I don’t know what he’s made of or what his dreams are. But man, one of his comics has been turned into a TV show for Netflix. As did Mark Millar’s Jupiter’s Legacy this past week. I haven’t read either comic or watched either show, yet. But let’s add that to the dream pile.

Someday I’m gonna write something that’s so awesome it gets optioned for a TV show on Netflix. Hopefully I don’t miss the golden age of pitching shows to Netflix with all my wanton laziness.

Sweet Tooth comes to streaming on June 4.
