Harley Quinn Update + Sunday Rundown Focus Poll

Hey everyone! Quick announcement before explaining this poll: Harley Quinn will replace Castlevania Nocturne instead of waiting a year for Young Justice to be over. This means that you will start seeing episodes for Harley in mid January after Nocturne is done posting on Patreon (and after we're back from Christmas break). Hope this is an easier wait time!

Secondly, after hearing some feedback, we are going to start doing these Focus polls before The Sunday Rundown every week. Vote on which show will have more of a focus for that particular week. This means instead of reading the usual 1-2 comments, this show will receive a special segment with 4-6 comments.

- We will be removing the show that wins from this poll in the following week's poll to give other shows a chance to be highlighted. Afterwards, the show will be added back in.

Comments

guys u just cannot remove Bleach........u guys are just getting to the best part.......also u guys have not yet seen Nel

Anmol Raj

they should watch darkplace they really should it won't take long and it is just well...its Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

Macs

more people watching for that specific series

Kayden Hunter

When you say “more of a focus”, what do you mean?

Flacko

Agree to disagree there friend

Overload

Love the Bleach journey y'all are having

Datdudetank

Lol

REY

that show stinks

Fellatio Nelson

Shame, I’d have kept the vampire theme going and have you guys watch Hellsing Ultimate after Castlevania

Overload

It would be cool to have the Normies write down comments after they react to a show and those he included in the Sunday rundown

Estevan Sandoval

Definitely agree, even as a die-hard fan of both shows

Crispy

I think it was fine the way it was. Don’t get me wrong, there were times where the comment selection or the lack of discussion were a little disappointing, but overall it was fine imo. Plus, the Sunday rundown was just a cool little extra thing you guys used to wrap up the week, it was organic. Oh well it’s not really that big of a deal as long as you’re fine with it.

SeymourAsces

There's a lot of votes for Buffy/angel and as much as I love those shows, their are better weeks and better episodes I'd much rather see discussed in more depth.

ray s

Is the React Wheel a thing anymore?

Chaos T

This is a good format in theory but could potentially restrict discussions on episodes that are important in a series especially if the series isn't the most viewed on Patreon. It would be cool to have a format where the viewers get a voice as well as The Normies focusing on an episode or two that's impactful for them in the week. Johnny Blue's points and BethSOUL's commentary concerning proportionality should be taken into consideration. The Friday commentary for the Sunday rundown is also a week behind due to scheduling and the newer format might limit discussion in the Friday timeslot.

Chaos T

Buffy discussion is too short every week.

Gwenhwyfar Aine

I don't know...what if a show wins one week and only 2 people comment on it? Or 6 people comment, but only one is a good comment and the other 5 are people repetitively and annoyingly quoting "funny" lines? My suggestion would be that you hand select GOOD comments that are proportional to the number of comments for that show.

BetheSOUL

Well, agree to disagree I guess, but in my opinion one of the most important things for any business is to understand what their customers are thinking both positive and negative.

Rufus May

Sure it’s listening to fans, but it’s just my opinion that the fans were being whiny. And I do happen to see it that way a bit about Succession.

@eric.na.goo.yen

What happens when there are 2 or more shows at the season finally what do they do then

BradBoimler

Succession sucks anyway

BradBoimler

thats what they are doing if you bother to read they are dropping the winning show every week so other shows have a chance

BradBoimler

You the man bro

REY

Should be one week after beef ends. Which would be this Tuesday for Premium.

Rufus May

My only suggestion for weekly show focus is that you don't let vote brigading fans dictate that a show wins the poll every other week. In this scenario, the most active Patreon fans of a particular show would win all the time. Maybe you can put a clause that a show's season finale should get priority over a popularity poll win? It's only fair for the tiny shows like Castlevania.

Johnny Blue

Fuck Harley Quinn when y’all dropping succession.

REY

"Listening to your fans" doesn't seem like a bad thing to me, nor does it seem unreasonable to be unhappy with a poll result being delayed for over a year. But following your logic, wouldn't that make Succession a crybaby result as well, since the reason it won was fans complaining it was unfair to put it up against an animated series? I don't recall you telling everyone to suck it up and wait for the next poll then. It just sounds like you're applying a double standard here.

Rufus May

There really werent many people bitching about it. I saw a couple but most people were kinda fine. I think they are just trying to do right, not cater to the babies. Also, waiting for a victory on the wheel, and waiting for the winner of the wheel to start... they're different. I dont think any other winner was asked to wait over a year.

Bisibia

I know y'all are like the busiest and best streamers in the game. Just selfishly wish we got 2 cobra kai a week since there are so many seasons but I'll gladly take what I can get. (Also hasn't been mentioned that Ralph Macchio is actually older than the actor who was Terry Silver. Lol

Gambit3838

So the “anime” poll result gets replaced by another not-anime.

greenb3ar

Noooo. I urge the crew to highly reconsider! They'll all love it for sure.

Rishi Shukla

Unfortunately doesn’t look like we will be able to squeeze that in but Suraj will be streaming it on his twitch and posting the uncut here.

The Normies

You’re likely right

Zee

Yes still on the table. Ep 1 filmed. Tentative November 7 posting date here on Patreon.

The Normies

This was originally the plan so we may end up changing it to this!

The Normies

Any news on the South Park special? Is that squeezing in here anytime soon?

Rishi Shukla

I think everyone was whining too much about having to wait for Harley Quinn. Like, it was locked in! You just had to wait. How many of us have had to keep waiting for shows we want them to react to just to make it onto a React Wheel? Plenty of us waited for years just for YJ to finally win a React Wheel. On one hand I appreciate y’all for accommodating those of us who want HQ. But on the other hand it feels like giving in to crybabies. As long as y’all at Normies HQ are cool with your decisions, then it’s all good. But I hope the crybabies don’t stress you out too much.

@eric.na.goo.yen

I get that this is a response to all the people bitching about their shows not getting enough comments read on the last Sunday Rundown, but I think it’s an overreaction. The same two or so shows will always win and other shows will never win. I feel like you guys should use your discretion based on what shows had hype or important moments or good discussion points

Pavi

Vote on which show will have more of a focus for that particular week: Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai

JessDMorgan

I see what you're trying to do, but I think that might not be too good an idea. Certain episodes for sure have more depth and impact but your entire audience definitely doesn't watch every single thing you put out. a sizeble chunk would probably only ever vote for the shows they know every week at best rather than what would actually be best.

Benjamin Donahue

A suggestion: if a show wins the focus, I would remove it for more than just a week. Perhaps 3-5 weeks so other shows have more of a chance of being chosen.

Brakthir

Great news on Harley Quinn. The show is a lot of fun 😀

David NJ

Shows that generally get 3-4 should be moved off 🤔

Zee

As much as I would like to have rana watch YJ I think we are too far into the show to have her catch up lol in my opinion this is the next best thing

Jackie Gibson

Rebels is the only show I watch for 😭

AvatarJordy

me when i lie maybe season 3 but season 4 was great

kai

This was a great idea. 1) Harley is more in line with the BTAS and movies as far as references. And the poll for SRD allows other shows that should get time, have it.

Zee

Rana watching that but not YJ 😩😩

Zee

Maybe let them figure that out on their own? That isn’t a unanimous opinion. There’s tons of people who don’t like S2, doesn’t make it bad.

Zee

Everyone make sure to vote for Buffy, and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

Liesmith

Thank you! Have to ask, is Succession still on the table?

Ethan Vaughn

Awesome. Thank you for clarifying. I shall now choose a victim - err show. Sorry for any hassle.

Teyon Alexander

This is a poll on what will get more focus on the Sunday Rundown podcast for THIS week only. Next week will be another poll, and so on and so forth is this idea is liked.

The Normies

Harley crew will be Chris, Navi, Marketa, Rana and Micky

The Normies

This is the best idea that has been introduced to the Sunday rundowns.

Sonicluis

This is actually what they were doing before. But a lot of the Young Justice fans started whining about their comments being ignored hence the reason for the poll.

Captain K'nuckles

Great compromise honestly, really looking forward to the Harley Quinn reactions and loved the castlevania crew.

george

I love this, great idea! Looking forward to Sunday rundown even more now!

Edward

When is succession dropping

REY

I think it makes sense. They're giving us the choice instead of choosing themselves.

Bisibia

I like it. Thank you. This was a much better meeting in the middle I think.

Bisibia

I hope some of the YJ crew watch Harley Quinn as it would be fun to see them react to the more serious characters from young justice depicted in the more comedic and parody like Harley Quinn.

Jackie Gibson

Unfortunately seasons 3 & 4 of Young Justice are a big downgrade from the first two so I’m happy for Cobra Kai to get a better look in

Razzer95

Call me slow but is this a poll about what you should focus on more or is this a poll about what to get rid of? In my defense, I’m running on 2 hours of sleep. So if it’s a dumb question just ignore me I guess.

Teyon Alexander

Can't you just talk about the shows, that left the biggest impression on you, first? Dunno why, but this is kinda weird

Dale Tucker

This is fun and clever! Hope this can be fun for you guys!
