April 2016 End Of The Month Report

| | |
April got started pretty fast and wonderfully for the blog, before we got caught up in a few other writing projects! Despite that, we got great traction with new reviews of big genre television events from Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., Legends Of Tomorrow, and The Flash! As a result, readership picked up and we've been enjoying having crossed the 2,000,000 articles read milestone last month (which went by unnoticed!).

This month, we picked up four new followers on Twitter, but no new subscribers! We are always trying to get people to become regular readers and subscribe, so if you enjoy what you're reading, please subscribe by clicking on the right side of the blog to get updates with each posting. As well, if you read a review that really affects you, be sure to "share" it! PLEASE share a link to the blog, not the content of the article; this keeps people coming to the site and, hopefully, liking what they find once they are here! We're slowly growing our readership, so sharing and subscribing to the blog is an important way you can help! If you’re subscribing, please tell your friends about the blog!

In April, the index pages were frequently updates. The primary Index Page, is usually updated daily and lets you know what the featured review is and has an up-to-the-day tally of how many reviews have been reviewed in each category! Check it out and feel free to use that as it is a much more useful and organized index to the reviews I've written!

If you enjoy the reviews, please consider clicking on the links in the reviews and purchasing items. We really appreciate all the purchases made through the blog as that keeps us going. As the tax returns come in, if you're going shopping online, please come through the blog to to it. Thank you so much!

The Featured Reviews For The Month of April are my reviews of Heather Nova's April 11, 2016 Concert and a political analysis I am particularly proud of called Fail Of The Superdelegates!
Check them out!


The month of April was, predictably, dominated by prior new reviews of new television episodes. For April, the Top Ten Reviews of the month were:
10. "Leviathan" - Legends Of Tomorrow
9. The Top Ten Episodes Of Frasier
8. "Progeny" - Legends Of Tomorrow
7. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below - Outkast
6. Play: The B-Sides - Moby
5. "Versus Zoom" - The Flash
4. "Paradise Lost" - Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
3. "The Singularity" - Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
2. "Spacetime" - Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Season 4
1. "The Team" - Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I pride myself on being an exceptionally fair reviewer, but one who is very discriminating. I believe that most reviewers are far too biased toward both what is current and toward unduly praising things. I tend to believe most things actually are average and they ought to follows something around a Bell Curve. Mine is a little lopsided, but not as lopsided as most reviewers I know (who would probably have peak numbers between ten and seven)!

For my reviews, the current count is:
10s - 319 reviews
9s - 478 reviews
8s - 921 reviews
7s - 1029 reviews
6s - 953 reviews
5s - 1216 reviews
4s - 895 reviews
3s - 700 reviews
2s - 329 reviews
1s - 220 reviews
0s - 108 reviews
No rating - 116 articles/postings

While there was a decent amount of movement this month, the all time Top Ten remains unchanged. At the end of April 2016, the most popular reviews/articles continue to be:
10. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
9. Safe Haven
8. Oz The Great And Powerful
7. The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bone
6. Warm Bodies
5. Iron Man 3
4. Now You See Me
3. Tyler Perry's Temptation
2. The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug
1. Man Of Steel
