Is Apple TV Making the Best Shows on Television Right Now?

Apple Plus is winning. Winning, man. I got to tell you, the other night, I watched the second season of Owens-Wilson's show, Stick. They showed the first two episodes of season two. And I got to tell you, man, Apple Plus in my book is doing no wrong. I was wondering where this series went, if it got renewed. I was... happy and surprised that it showed up on my feed. I'm like, oh my gosh, this was a great first season that I watched probably a year ago, and I was wondering if it was ever going to come back. It lost in my mind somewhere, but as soon as I saw it, I was like, dadgummit, I'm watching this. I got giddy like a kid in the candy store. I'm not going to lie. Apple Plus is just doing No wrong in my eyes when it comes to these mini-series. I mean, it's no obligation at all. Sometimes I find it's harder to get involved in watching a film that's an hour and 45 minutes, two minutes, that you go, eh, I really don't feel like doing this. With these type of episodic episodes on Apple +, you have the ability to look, oh, it's 25 minutes. Oh, it's 35 minutes. It's 38 minutes. Shows like Ted Lasso and these other shows, Platonic, Brothers, you name it, they are just knocking it out of the park. I mean, The Studio, which was great. That was phenomenal. Shrinking, I love. And Stick. I mean, Apple Plus, to me, and maybe I'm just a sucker for these old sitcoms. I don't know what it is. why I gravitate towards these type of shows. They're not really over comedy. They're kind of drama comedy, sort of. But they're just fun. It brings like this safe feeling for me. Like I enjoy watching this and I get excited for watching it. I get drawn by the characters that are created on these shows. I'm like, man, they really draw you in quickly with these actors and actresses really, really fast. It's very, very surprising. Apple understands writing, producing, and getting these shows out. I will say that about Apple Plus. There's a couple of shows I probably need to go back and watch, but it comes to these little micro series, little shows, micro dramas, or whatever we want to call them, little comedy, micro comedies, TV sitcoms, which I don't think that's what we call them at all either. They're they're knocking it out of the park. I've got to tell you, out of all the streaming platforms, Apple Plus is my favorite hands down. I can always find something there to watch or binge watch on if I haven't watched it. But every week now with these new episodes, I'm waiting for the next episode to appear. I really got back in the brothers again. I really have enjoyed that. It picked up for me and I was like, man, they knocked it out of the park. So Apple Plus is does no wrong in my book. I don't know. And what do you think? Do you guys think that committing to a movie these days are very, very difficult? I find myself going back to older movies, watching older things. And like I watched the other night, I hadn't watched it in years. I watched Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. Got to tell you, I enjoyed that movie so much. Just going back and watching some of the great movies But when it comes to brand new movies, I'm kind of unsure now. I'm kind of like, I tip my toes and I'm like, man, I don't know. This is dragging slow for me. What happened to the good, wholesome, good old movies that I grew up on that you just were gravitated towards when they came out? But that's what I kind of like about these dramas on Apple Plus, like Stick with Owen Wilson. I've just drawn into the character movement, the building, and I... can relate to a lot of these characters. I don't know what it is about the writing, but it just feels good. I get excited. I go, wow, that was a great episode. I get motivated. It sparks creativity in me. It's a good feeling. Bravo, Apple Plus. You knocked it out of the park. Thank you so much. Continue to make great content. I know you can't knock them out of all the park, but man, so far, so good. You guys are. Until next time, we'll see you on The Jeff Adams Show. When Jeff is buying, the prime ribs frying.
