January 2018 End Of The Month Report!

| | |
January was a big month for the blog with the return of a lot of popular television shows and Star Trek: Discovery. The DC Television Universe was a mainstay of our reviews and the shock of the month was that our top review of the month was a legacy review! Productivity was good and we were very excited by some good growth in out readership this month.

We are adapting the Amazon product links as we reference old reviews now. Most of the links have been properly converted and the reviews now have the right products associated with them. We appreciate our readers sticking with us through Amazon reconfiguring, which is likely to continue to be ongoing for a bit longer!

This month, we picked up two new followers on Twitter and two new subscribers! We are always trying to get people to become regular readers and subscribe, so if you enjoy what you're reading on the blog, 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 January, we updated the index pages every few days and remembered to upload the changes, so the index pages continue to be a useful tool to our readers! 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 tax returns begin, if you're going shopping online, please come through the blog to to it. Thank you so much!

The Featured Review For The Month of January is my review of: Star Trek Beyond Trading Cards!
Check them out!


The month of January was packed with new, highly-read reviews, especially for new television works, but was topped by an awesome legacy review! For January, the Top Ten Reviews of the month were:
10. "The Trial Of The Flash" - The Flash
9. "Despite Yourself" - Star Trek: Discovery
8. Grace And Frankie - Season 4
7. "Together Or Not At All" - Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
6. One Day At A Time - Season 2
5. "What's Past Is Prologue" - Star Trek: Discovery
4. "The Wolf Inside" - Star Trek: Discovery
3. "Vaulting Ambition" - Star Trek: Discovery
2. The End Of The F***ing World - Season 1
1. Travellers - Season 1

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 - 344 reviews
9s - 645 reviews
8s - 1035 reviews
7s - 1152 reviews
6s - 1076 reviews
5s - 1368 reviews
4s - 1027 reviews
3s - 804 reviews
2s - 397 reviews
1s - 260 reviews
0s - 134 reviews
No rating - 146 articles/postings

There was a decent amount of movement this month, but no new additions to the all time Top Ten Reviews! At the end of January 2018, the most popular reviews/articles are:
10. Oz The Great And Powerful
9. The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bone
8. Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events - Season 1
7. Warm Bodies
6. Iron Man 3
5. Now You See Me
4. Tyler Perry's Temptation
3. The Burden Of Being Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
2. The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug
1. Man Of Steel
