Our Band of Brothers reaction series is wrapping up soon, and we need your help deciding what full-length reactions to offer next! The winning option will be shared from the end of September through October. Then we will do it all again ;)

Yes, shows last longer but at least to me movies are much more high-quality

Grinznmore

Short series such as Fargo, Queen's Gambit are ok for me. Long series, over 10 episodes are too much of a time commitment for me. Movies are my core interest.

Flounder

Just from a practical standpoint if you produce a reaction to a movie I don’t care for you have wasted two hours (plus post production time). If you do a reaction to a TV series I don’t care for that has, say, two seasons (12 episodes per season) you have just spent AT MINIMUM 24 hours producing something I won’t watch. Please react to some great old movies that (almost) no one has reacted to. “Sex, Lies, and Videotape”, “Sling Blade”, “Heaven Can Wait”, and “Oh, God!” Are good examples

Dan Sopranos

Sopranos would be nice If you havent seen it

Bill W

I much prefer movies. With all of us clamoring to get our favorite movies watched, and SOOOO many great movies go neglected across the reactor-verse (losing out to the SAME mainstream-iest movies again and again), it makes each reaction slot very valuable....and tv series just eat up too many slots where these neglected movies might be given a chance to get an algorithm going.

Byrd N. Hand

The only TV shows to which I'll give any attention if you watch them: -Monty Python's Flying Circus -Fawlty Towers -Blackadder -Cheers -Mr. Bean -Twin Peaks -Seinfeld -Curb Your Enthusiasm -Malcolm in the Middle -Titus -Arrested Development -Lost (which, given your comments in previous reactions, I gather you've already seen) -Fargo I'll always prefer movies otherwise.

Bill W

The number of excellent films no one reacts to is sickening. And it's not like they're obscure, art-house or cult films either. Many of them have A-List actors/directors and even award nominations and wins.

ShadowKnight

The Pacific (2010) another good but different TV Mini Series from HBO. I think it's just as important to watch and educate yourself about the pacific theatre of WW2. And also the same producers as Band of Brothers (Spielberg & Hanks) and last but not least , 10 Episodes as well so it won't be a huge commitment.

Phil Stubblefield

As Knight said, it's an excellent series, but be warned that it is even more graphic than BoB, especially due to the fanatical nature of the combat.

JAKH

I much prefer movies, especially ones from the earlier part of your time frame that other reactors neglect. If you are looking to watch a franchise I would suggest either Clint Eastwood's "Dirty Harry" (starting 1971) or Charles Bronson's "Death Wish" (starting 1974). However, there are a few shows from your time period that I would be interested in seeing you react to: "From The Earth to The Moon" (1998) 12 eps total. NASA *True Story* produced by Tom Hanks "Alien Nation" (1989-1990) 1 season, 22 eps +5 TV movies in lieu of second season. Buddy-cop in LA. First ep is double-length and picks up after the end of the movie "Alien Nation" (1988) "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr." (1993-1994) 1 season, 27 eps. Western action-comedy starring Bruce Campbell. "Shogun" (1980 original version) TV miniseries, 5x 2hr eps. Starring Richard Chamberlain & Toshiro Mifune. You have talked about having watched X-Files, have you ever seen the spin-off "Millenium" starring Lance Hendrickson? most of the series that reactors do are newer ones from the 2000's+, which is outside your time frame.

Bill W

2nd Fawlty and Seinfeld...the 2 greatest sitcoms ever. I like the other ones too, but not enough to push for a reaction.

Phil Stubblefield

I vote for more movies in general for the same reason given by others: if I don't care for a particular movie, then I miss only one reaction. Short miniseries can work well when interspersed with other content. You've already enjoyed Firefly and Band of Brothers, and another commenter mentioned The Queen's Gambit, for example. I'm reminded of one exception that worked surprisingly well, in this case with Popcorn in Bed. The patrons convinced Cassie to watch top episodes of the original Star Trek series prior to watching the films. She liked them enough to begin watching top episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation in preparation for those films (ST VII to X). She quickly fell in love with the characters and kept adding more episodes as the seasons progressed. "Well, these two comprise a two-part episode, so they only count as one for a poll." "You can't watch this season finale without the next season opener, so they only count as one." Eventually, she became a full-blown Trekkie. One of the cutest things I've seen was when she "came out of [her] Star Trek closet" during an episode of her podcast with sister Carly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY1yU7YsmmY&t=1292s All I'm saying is: always be ready when diving down a rabbit hole! 😂

Mike the Ginger

I would say more movies, especially with the horror movie season fast approaching. If you end up doing Halloween II for example, do you rewatch your original Halloween reaction to refresh yourselves before watching the sequel?

Flounder

I second your From the Earth to the Moon suggestion but there are like 3 or 4 episodes i skip when I rewatch them.

JoeyVettes

I like a good blend of both movies and tv reaction. I don't know if you remember the original Scott Bakula Quantum Leap? That would be a very good series to react to. PS, with Veterans Day coming up in November and myself being a veteran. Would it be possible to do either a reaction to hacksaw Ridge and or the deer hunter? Thanks, awesome Channel ladies!

Jeff Barnes

I think the original Twin Peaks would be a good reaction series, at least up until the big reveal. Then the Twin Peaks movie, Fire Walk with Me would need to come next. Other than that, movies, movies, movies. Thank you.

Jimmie V

Twin Peaks is the most obvious choice. It was the first prestige show back in 1990 that came back and cemented its place as the show that pushes the boundaries of TV more so than anything else while still retaining an emotional core. There's the first and second season which are 8 and 22 episodes long, the movie, then the return of the show in 2017 with 18 episodes. Also, you do not want to skip anything (I've watched every reaction to the show and every react channel loves it the whole way through). While that's not something you can finish quickly, it's much shorter than other shows that go for like 7+ seasons. Other than that, I'd say more movies are always a safe bet. EDIT: I incorrectly pasted part of my message which created some errors, but it's fixed now.

Miles E Coburn

Honestly, not interested in any television show.

Totally Whatever

Thanks, we have not seen Millennium, it sounds like we would love it. Seems like the consensus at this point is more movies!

Totally Whatever

Thanks, Mike. Sometimes we rewatch parts to get a reminder of what happened in the first one. We definitely needed a quick refresher before we saw The Godfather Part II.

Robert Jonsson

I would say more movies as then you just miss one reaction video if you're not interested in it. Clint Eastwood movies wood be good for you to watch, specially westerns like: The good, the bad, the ugly, or For a few dollars.

Jimmy C

The Sopranos would be a great watch

Mark M

I actually rewatched the Halloween reaction today. I really think its one of the best reactions on the channel. You ladies were just so animated for the entire movie. It had some laughs, lots of nervous tension, yelling at the screen, hiding behind the Fry-force-field. Just perfect:)

Mark M

I voted more movies but I'm not opposed to watching tv series. If we get to a place where there are 4 reactions per week and 1 of which is a TV Series I think most people would be ok with that even if they aren't interested in the show. When we come to a week like the currrent one where we have 2 episodes of BoB and 1 movie I can see that people would overwhelmingly vote for more movies.

Henrik Söderström

Movies, movies. Have you seen back to the future?😀👌

Om

I went with New TV Series, but it's a gamble. If it's a TV series I enjoyed myself then I'd much prefer that over a reaction to a movie I enjoyed. Shows have more to get into and really engage my attention as reactions - I am looking forward to the next instalment more so than a movie because it's more a journey to go on with you. But if you pick a show that I haven't watched or aren't interested in, that's a whole bunch of time tied up in something I wont watch. But I still voted for TV show because movies are likely to be the same movies I've seen many other reactions too.

Om

Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated riffed on Twin Peaks in a number of its episodes. This is the 2010 series, two seasons. Even though it's a cartoon it had a surprisingly good storyline that made far more sense than first appeared. And, well, a bunch of Twin Peaks references. If you ever do a cartoon reaction, you'd get a good laugh out of it. Whatever you pick, the thing that really makes it work is that you pick something you both have a good time watching. Without that essential element, it doesn't work.

Mike the Ginger

I believe Halloween was the first reaction of theirs that I watched.

JAKH

One of the problems for reactors doing older pre-streaming shows is that full length network or syndicated seasons were 22-24 episodes, so even a 3-season run is still around 70 eps, and something like "Buffy" is 7 seasons, "NYPD Blue" and "Stargate SG-1" are 10 seasons each (200+ eps). A few of the cable series from HBO and FOX used 11- or 13-episode seasons (like "Sopranos", "The Shield", "Southland", "Dexter", and "Sons of Anarchy") but they were still 5+ seasons long (50-100 eps), so any of them are a possible big commitment. And as someone else pointed out, if it is a show that some Patreons are not interested in, that really reduces the value of membership if they are not watching that series with you. A possible exception might be something like "Reacher" or "Bosch", where the seasons are shorter (8-10 eps) and each season is a self-contained story arc, so you can do one season, get to a story resolution, and then move on to something else without having unresolved story bits nagging at you. "Millenium" is 3x 1990's network seasons, so it might be something that you want to do on your own rather than save it for reactions. (shrug)

Mark M

I don't know if its possible but i would love to see the full length reaction. I know some of the earlier releases were the youtube cut. We did get a full length for Tremors so maybe its still possible.

JAKH

I would also say that both "The Pacific" and "Masters of the Air" are not as good as BoB for a number of reasons, so if you are going in expecting BoB-level storytelling, acting, and getting you invested in characters, you will be disappointed. If you are looking for something about the Pacific Theater, I would suggest any of these movies instead: "Tora! Tora! Tora!" (1970) *true story*, ensemble cast "Midway" (1977 original version) *True story*, ensemble cast "Flags of Our Fathers" (2006) *True Story*. Directed by Clint Eastwood, lots of actors that you will recognize "Letters from Iwo Jima" (2006) *True Story*. Directed by Clint Eastwood "The Great Raid" (2005) *True Story* "The Bridge on the River Kwai" (1957) considered a must-see classic "In Harm's Way" (1965) "Operation Petticoat" (1959) comedy

Totally Whatever

I'll look into getting a full-length reaction put together. It might be a bit rough, though.

Totally Whatever

A MASSIVE thank you to all who have commented and voted!! We are reading all of your comments and appreciate the time you take to provide us with your suggestions.

Phil Stubblefield

Gotta say those are some great film selections! I haven't seen In Harm's Way in decades, and I don't remember whether I've ever seen Operation Petticoat, although I certainly know of it. As most fans of the genre will tell you, the 1977 version of Midway is superior to the 2019 remake. The original is a reasonably factual account of the historical setting and the battle itself, while the sequel adds additional material to update the story for "modern audiences," resulting in an overly long mish-mash. On the other hand, the special effects in the sequel are mostly excellent, but the original incorporates actual footage in some places for added realism. The films Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima are unique in that Clint Eastwood shot them back-to-back to tell the story of the Battle of Iwo Jima from both the American and Japanese perspectives respectively. And The Bridge on the River Kwai will have you whistling a certain tune for the foreseeable future... (IYKYK!)

bahstuffandnonsense

I voted for more movies because I think that's more in keeping with the overall theme of 70s, 80s, & 90s media. The blunt truth is that TV from those decades hasn't aged as well as film, probably because network television of the time both demanded tons of episodes by today's standards and curtailed language, violence, sex, etc. I mean, what do we make now of a primetime soap like Dallas, which ran for 14 seasons and 357 episodes? There are of course exceptions, some of which have already been mentioned in other comments, mini-series like the original Shogun, iconic comedies like Cheers & Seinfeld, and unicorns like Twin Peaks (an influential pioneer of the dense storytelling we expect today but a commercial failure in its own time). However there are dozens and dozens of amazing films from those years crying out for reactions!

Jimmie V

Another idea.... you could watch a few pilots for a few popular shows and then pick based upon which interests you most since you enjoying it is the most important part (you don't want to get stuck watching something you're feeling little to nothing for)... or you could even decide you don't like any afterwards and try something else.

JAKH

I would say that "Blackadder" is one of the few exceptions to the problems of reacting to pre-2000's series. It is a comedy, so each episode is only 30 min, and each "season" is only 6 eps. So you could knock out 2 eps per reaction and 3 videos per season, and each season is a stand-alone story, so you don't have to do them all at once, just use each season as a nice palate cleanser between heavier fare. It's just a matter of whether the comedy is to your tastes.

Byrd N. Hand

Yes, the Brits were doing shorter TV seasons long before we were. Monty Python's Flying Circus: 3 seasons of 13 half-hour episodes, 1 season of 6 half-hour episodes, and 2 45-minute German specials Fawlty Towers: 2 seasons of 6 half-hour episodes Blackadder: 4 seasons of 6 half-hour episodes and 3 specials (15, 30, and 45 minutes in respective length) Mr. Bean: 15 half-hour episodes (though one was a best-of clip show) aired sporadically between 1990 and '95

Roset03

I was going to enter 'More Movies' for the poll, but the second I read "Twilight Zone"... (and I can only assume that we are talking about the original Serling Twilight Zone, and not the 80s reboot)...I had to pick that. And I'll admit, I'm a classic movie nut, but I'm a Zoner as well. I would just love to see some Zones from the gals, and it would be easier watches for them since most seasons have like 25 minute episodes. There are some big topics discussed in Zone as well; often imitated, never duplicated. I'd love for them to watch one from the longer seasons, particularly "The Thirty-Fathom Grave." ooooh, it's so good.

Roset03

This is so true. But, there are a couple of other venues if they want to keep it within these decades. We can hop across the pond to Britain for more choices. They had some extremely high quality shows during this time which haven't really been matched this century. The likes of which: I, Claudius, Rumpole of the Bailey, Brideshead Revisited, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (w/ Jeremy Brett). Goofy excellent shows like Jeeves & Wooster, Keeping up Appearances-lots of options The US had its own perfect show as well from this era, and that of course is: The Rockford Files with the inimitable James Garner. I feel that the only other shows with such natural, believable, and consistent characters throughout the entire series that match Rockford are the aforementioned, I, Claudius and Rumpole. So, there's TV choices (and let's not forget WKRP ;) )

Om

This is an EXCELLENT idea. Do a "Pilot" month. Take some nominations and watch one of each. See what people like. Actually, more importantly see what they like. We can have all sorts of discussions and polls about what we'd like to but ultimately what makes a good reaction channel starts with the reactor liking it. And a pilot episode is usually much shorter than a movie, so hopefully less of a gamble. If they wanted to do something I have NEVER seen before on a reaction channel, do a "Pilot Special". A pilot is usually less than an hour. Often 30 mins. You don't show the whole thing in a YT video. You could do like three pilots, same length as a movie, put them all together in one video (with timestamps!) and they could say afterwards what they thought of them and people could say which they'd like. And of course it gives them both a preliminary veto. It's awkward to have your patrons vote on a show which of course you haven't seen but find you don't enjoy that much (death to a reaction series). But if it's a best of nominations, they get a chance to see if they'd like it before selecting which it will be. The more I think about this the more I think it's the best combination of everything. Of course some shows get better after the pilot. But then that's nearly all of them so they're still on equal footing. Really, really think this is a great idea. Especially if rolled into one "Pilot Special" of 3 (poss. 4?) pilots in one for the clear idea of what to pick. Think of all the discussion and the comparison it would generate. It also gives you a chance to prevent votes being divided by very similar shows. Like if nominations are Game of Thrones, Rings of Power Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated and Justice League, you pick one of the fantasy series and one of the cartoon series and then people who lean one way aren't penalised by splitting of the vote between two contenders. Not that I think anyone wants to see Rings of Power reaction, but you get the principle. ;) This is really worth trying. And if they go with the compilation Pilot Medley idea, it's something I have never seen done, ever.

Om

@Bill W. Seconded! I suggested they try to mix those in with the standard fare. If they want to grow the channel and Patreon - and with all these recent questions they're obviously thinking about how to do that - then they need to do at least a slightly different selection. Even the most ardent Alien fan has a limit to how many reactors they'll watch react to it. And I say that as someone whose first video I watched of theirs was Alien! :) So keep the tentpole stuff because I guess it gets you up the algorithm and it's a wide net because everybody's seen Terminator or Austin Powers... so lots of clicks. But to retain people and be different enough that you're not one of thousands, it'd be great to slowly build a portfolio of more quirky reactions. I saw someone react to Lifeforce a while back - clicked on the video immediately! Had never seen anybody react to it before. Just imagine stumbling across a reaction channel that had "A Man for all Seasons" or "Ginger Snaps" and a whole bunch of movies you'd never seen anybody react to. It'd be like Christmas for the right sort of person. And really, that's the only way reaction channels are going to outlive the Current Thing they have been. Finding a section of the market that isn't really catered to. But you need the big names still to get people aware of you for now.

Byrd N. Hand

As a compromise, I'd offer up 1983's "Twilight Zone: The Movie," featuring various segments featured from the original series re-imagined by John Landis ("National Lampoon's Animal House," "The Blues Brothers"), Steven Spielberg (needs no introduction, I'm sure), Joe Dante ("The Howling," both "Gremlins" movies), and George Miller (the original "Mad Max" trilogy, "The Witches of Eastwick").

bahstuffandnonsense

Love the suggestion of I, Claudius - The forerunner of Game of Thrones done 35 years earlier, and only 12 episodes.

Gábor Árki

Out of curiosity, have you two seen the 1995 miniseries version of Pride and Prejudice? My bet is probably yes. But in case it is a no, that's one of the miniseries I would be interested in besides From the Earth to the Moon (1998) and Lonesome Dove (1989). But in general I would prefer to sticking with movies, and occasionally seasoning it with some miniseries, or maybe some short regular series.

WastedPo

I went with more movies because if it's a TV series, and I've never seen it before, or am not interested in it (i.e most TV series), then I simply won't be interested in the reaction. (That said, if I could be magically assured that they're doing one of the few TV shows I actually am familiar with, then yeah, I'd go for that.)

Roset03

Oh it's so good. Such great drama. And historically inspired too. We obviously can never know what happened in the palace, but the weaving of the events which happened in real life and the drama they give to it with the story. The book is good too, but has a different feel than the show (book came first). I don't remember if the show was part of Masterpiece Theater. But the cast in it...you'd think it cost a billion dollars to make with the powerhouse of a cast they got for that series.

Joe J

For October scaries check out "Midnight Mass". Limited run show, only 7 episodes. Wild ride...I think you'll like it. I enjoy your reactions.

softshoes

Lonesome Dove is such a great, great series. Also it's more like 3 movies with the same characters. I feel bad for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Totally Whatever

Yes, I've (Nanette) have seen Pride and Prejudice - probably all versions. I don't think Carolyn has watched them.
