I’m somewhat enjoying the new Goosebumps but as usual, those “kids” look like they’re starting 401ks and getting kicked off their parents’ insurance, not in high school 

Justin Long is killing it 

So even though a show has pg13 rating, when it’s a Disney made show I expect it to be kid friendly. I was a bit surprised with the number of times they said “sexy” and was very shocked they dropped the word porn. 
 

But I am enjoying it, so are the kids, and I think most had gone over their heads

Sorry to quote myself - but it was actually orgy. Still.

The Goosebumps series was written to traumatize kids. The ruse was to market them for kids.

My 5th grader has read all of the Percy Jackson books and the expanded series, and read them multiple times.  I haven’t.  He’s been ecstatic with the TV series so far, and I’ve enjoyed it, but holy shit, the obvious commercial breaks are annoying.  It’ll be on ABC at some point I guess.

The cast and pacing have been solid (and the cast has been age-appropriate unlike the movies) but Rick Riordan personally approved all of the cast/was involved with the casting, and he co-wrote the first two episodes, so it’s not surprising.

It’s great. I’m loving it. So much better than the movies that shall not ever be mentioned again

He loathed the movies and how much older they made everybody, and Rick Riordan has made his displeasure with them known.

I didn’t think about it, but I guess the commercial break parts are for Hulu, but Disney would be foolish not to run this on ABC at some point.  Like before season 2’s premier.

The books came out almost 20 years ago, and Disney was the only publisher who offered Riordan a deal (they wanted a Harry Potter) and they’ve been popular ever since, so they have a built-in audience.

I was really hoping they’d bring more stuff out of their vault from my childhood. I love seeing my kids faces as they try to understand how I’m the world I thought it was good television. Other than that we really seem to have no use for it.

No, this is only happening thru the Disney app.  Everything else is fine.

If your TV is auto detecting HDR it can switch to that picture setting automatically (which may have motion flow turned on) that automatically switches back when viewing non HDR content. Check the motion setting when watching an HDR source.

All of the sudden everything streaming in 4k/HDR or whatever.  It's like I'm watching a soap opera...

It's not her or 4k, it's the refresh rate, look for settings like true motion, auto motion plus or something. Or look up your tv brand refresh rate setting name to find it
