I Watch Too Much Reality TV
started in some sort of order but now mostly just the order in which i remembered i watched them tbh.
-
1. Idol Producer
Chinese TV Show - 2018, 12 episodes
look, it's just charming ok? nothing since has matched the charm of this original season or this final group, imo.
-
2. Street Dance of China Season 3
Chinese TV Show - 2020, 12 episodes
favorite season based on a combination of production values, choreo quality, and captain personality synergy. and, ofc, really good dancing.
-
3. Our Song
Chinese TV Show - 2019, 14 episodes
wholesome!!!! and great duets.
-
4. Call Me by Fire
Chinese TV Show - 2021, 18 episodes
the whole thing drips production value and money spent; performances are good and the mix of personalities has great synergy. it's pretty bullshit that they took out the judging panel and any and all criticism that the jiejies were subjected to, tho. men are too fragile for that.
-
5. The Coming One Season 4
Chinese TV Show - 2020, 11 episodes
really neat, actually!! some really great performances and songs, some really interesting kids. the absurdly skewed voting was less great, however. my personal pick was fruit planet.
-
6. Sisters Who Make Waves
Chinese TV Show - 2020, 13 episodes
quite touching at points, and i loved the resulting super group, even if they did break up immediately d/t scheduling problems.
-
7. Fantasy Restaurant
Chinese TV Show - 2018, 12 episodes
a hilarious disaster. the kids are still charming, and watching them learn along the way is endearing.
-
8. The Flash Band
Chinese TV Show - 2021, 12 episodes
still airing, but i'm enjoying it a lot so far... sort of the coming one super band but with professionals.
-
9. Super Vocal
Chinese TV Show - 2018, 12 episodes
classical singers! bass singers! counter tenors! shivers!!!
-
10. Our Song Season 2
Chinese TV Show - 2020, 12 episodes
didn't love the format changes and not quite as endearing as s1 but still some really good performances and coco is a goddess.
-
11. Street Dance of China Season 2
Chinese TV Show - 2019, 12 episodes
clearly more budget than the first season, better format, and many lovely dancers and routines.
-
12. Sisters Who Make Waves Season 2
Chinese TV Show - 2021, 13 episodes
not quite as touching as S1 but still plenty of great jiejies
-
13. Shine! Super Brothers Season 2
Chinese TV Show - 2021, 11 episodes
still airing at the time of writing... not as much budget as call me by fire but i still really like a lot of the geges.
-
14. Idol XinFan
Chinese TV Show - 2018, 13 episodes
look, don't judge me, they're just really cute kids, ok
-
15. Shine! Super Brothers
Chinese TV Show - 2020, 12 episodes
weird format but some good performances and just generally fun. after journey is always a good time.
-
16. Our Song Season 3
Chinese TV Show - 2021, 12 episodes
winners kind of a foregone conclusion but really enjoyed some of the combos this year... cnls forever.
-
17. Let's Chat
Chinese TV Show - 2020, 11 episodes
they're so cute together, the xiongdi feelings.
-
18. Listen Up Season 2
Chinese TV Show - 2021, 12 episodes
VAST improvement over S1 in terms of production values. format/elimination still kind of weird, but a lot of the music was better too... the mentor collabs probably helped with that. I liked performances from all of them, tho tante was probably my overall fave of the season. happy to see yzj and he did a great job.
-
19. Street Dance of China Season 4
Chinese TV Show - 2021, 12 episodes
idk dudes. the format was weird this season and the finale was clearly, CLEARLY rigged. pretty sure they had it all planned out already... and that's why they didn't have judges for the final battle rounds like normal. still some neat routines tho.
-
20. Let's Chat Season 2
Chinese TV Show - 2021, 11 episodes
not as fun without jackson, but watching henry get picked on forever is also entertaining.
-
21. Street Dance of China
Chinese TV Show - 2018, 12 episodes
the first season, with almost zilch production values lol. the captain synergy wasn't super strong here and it felt like they gave tao a hard time just because his vision was different. i remember almost no one besides han yu.
-
22. Super Hit
Chinese TV Show - 2020, 11 episodes
silly, but that's what makes it fun. sorta like that wins are determined by whoever guesses their points most closely rather than the actual vote counts.
-
23. I Am Singer Songwriter Season 2
Chinese TV Show - 2020, 22 episodes
an extremely weird little show whose format i don't get at all, but some really neat performances, especially from gai and after journey. zyx is here too, ig.
-
24. Stage Boom
Chinese TV Show - 2021, 23 episodes
felt sort of unnecessary by the end and some of the girls just got the super short end of the stick, but still some super cool performances. i love yamy.
-
25. Super Nova Games Season 3
Chinese TV Show - 2020, 7 episodes
gets suuuuper boring once you get to the actual competitions but the stuff before that is fun/funny.
-
26. Super Nova Games Season 4
Chinese TV Show - 2021, 8 episodes
better job making it less boring/interspersing the fun stuff with the boring stuff this year.
-
27. We Are Blazing
Chinese TV Show - 2020, 8 episodes
very glad that team that won, won.
-
28. We Are Young
Chinese TV Show - 2020, 10 episodes
idk it happened. i liked most of the kids in the final line up. that's about it.
-
29. Youth with You Season 3
Chinese TV Show - 2021, 22 episodes
the infamous™. i'm happy with the final line up for the most part, so it's whatever.
-
30. Youth with You
Chinese TV Show - 2019, 12 episodes
kind of boring and honestly why was lwh there, but i liked some of the kids and after journey is best rap mentor.
-
31. Listen Up
Chinese TV Show - 2020, 12 episodes
semi-terrible d/t low production values, but the songs got better as it went along... xiao gui took being criticized like that way better than i would have been able to.
-
32. Hot Blood Dance Crew
Chinese TV Show - 2018, 12 episodes
well... how i met a lot of the dancers that subsequently ended up on sdc and/or, hilariously, youth with you. jackson is annoying here, probably because he's also clearly extremely unwell, luhan is useless, and their team's attitude is overall awful. finale was a slaughter/unfair anyway since jackson and luhan are from a newer generation of idols than william and victoria, who are sweethearts but also underdogs the entire show. as always, however, there are still some good dancing.
