copyright strikes

BoJack Horseman! You will LOVE that series!

Fawlty Towers! it is one of the greatest sitcoms ever made, written by and starring John Cleese and Connie Booth (Mrs. Cleese at the time). There are only two seasons of six episodes each, so watching three eps a week you can do the whole show in one month. Summer is a great time for a comedy.

I would love for you to check out Fringe. It is already complete, so you don't have to worry about it being cancelled. Its sci-fi mystery edge of your seat fun and I think you would love the characters, especially Walter.

Where Angel? Somebody suggested the good place.

Left field suggestion, but the Canadian 90s sitcom “Radio Active” is really funny. All three seasons are on Tubi.

Just to emphasize I know it’s been commented already but supernatural is something I believe you would truly love. I know it’s long and I wouldn’t mind you taking a break from it and then coming back to it but I need you to see it because I adore your taste movies and shows, and I think he would really love it. It has become my number one favorite show of all time.

I have seen many channels start their reactions with a Copyright thing. Others put Netflix across the film for those that come from there. Just a suggestion. My husband and I look forward to all you reactions.

SKINS (UK)

I suggest Jackass. Both the show and the movies. I just know Ashleigh will be laughing her ass off.

YouTuber Cody leach posted that he got an email that was a scam (but that looked legitimate) saying he had two copy write strikes… but that the email was a scam. He says it looked incredibly real though

Oh noes! How do other reactors do it.... I know it likely would not be a yes but any chance of Stranger Things being Patreon only like Angel was in the beginning? I have been so looking forward to you reacting to this.

Wonder why other reactors can cover ST with no problems…,

HEROS

X-Files

BONES!

CHARMED!!!

How about Glee??

Since you like musicals, you would love Crazy Ex Girlfriend and zoe’s extraordinary playlist

The Expanse, one of the best Sci-fi series ever made

Breaking Bad Better Call Saul Big Bang Theory Star Trek: Voyager Home Improvement (Tim Allen)

I'm going to drop this one again because I just thought of it.. Battlestar Galactica

Scrubs. Since they just started up again. Funny stuff

Always have a backup of a backup of a backup 😁😎

You might enjoy this Australian series called Colin from accounts

Ted Lasso please!!

Did you ever watch the last of us season 2?

Orphan Black, Ms Fisher's Murder Mysteries, Eureka, Agent Carter...!

I would LOVE for you to finally watch the sequel to Top Gun (1986)... Top Gun: Maverick (2022)! I promise it's the BEST sequel ever made! They filmed this with the actors flying in the F-18 Jets! The cinematography is incredible! This movie was beautifully shot and you feel like you're in the jets with them! The storyline is perfect, and each part was perfectly cast. The sequel has a bangin' soundtrack, too, just like the first movie did! Lady Gaga worked with Hans Zimmer to write the score. It's so powerful and just beautiful! This movie really had no business being this good! Especially, since it was 36 YEARS between the two films! Tom Cruise does not disappoint! This is the biggest movie of his career! Just watch it and you'll see!

DAM you YOUTUBE!

If you do pivot to other content….What about euphoria?!?! It’s f**king WILD!!! You will lose your mind over the first season alone. It’s insanely addictive and gorgeously stylized and you can catch up with the current season 3 which airing weekly which is also bananas!

Like this if you think she needs to watch Sons of Anarchy!

With your love for Buffy, think about Veronica Mars. Another high-school type with a female lead, lots of detective themes & clever writing - I think you'll love it.

Hi Ashleigh! I’m sorry 😞 that YT and Paramount are being such buttheads. You do what is the least stressful and best for your mental health and channel. If you want tv shows movie recs in the meantIme, I will echo others comments. TV Shows: OG Charmed, Once Upon a time, Timeless (NBC archive show that’s now on the Tubi channel), a quick show to watch would be The Kennedys (even though they took a lot of liberties for dramatic purposes) which is only 8-9 episodes and is also currently on the Tubi streaming channel (free), Haven (which is free on Youtube, and free on another streaming channel but I can’t remember which one). Dawson’s Creek (also on Tubi, Amazon Prime, and I think Disney plus maybe 🤔) Veronica Mars, and Gilmore Girls. For movies: Belle, Now & Then (great summertime 90’s film), The Secret Garden (1992/1993 with Maggie Smith), A Little Princess (92/93). I love both of your channels, and have been following you happily for almost 5 years. I look forward to whatever you think is best and have coming in the future. I hope you have a great weekend!

Cool Hand Luke is another great movie with Paul Newman.

And maybe star your Stark Trek journey...TV before movies.

Stranger things sucked any way

X-Files, True Blood

I'd like to add, if you do start uploading certain things exclusively to Patreon, it would be cool if the early access and unedited videos were full-length instead of what we have now, which is edited down for YT, since no real editing will be required to post here. I hate the watch-along format where you have to sync up your own thing because I only have one device. I'm used to the reactor taking up a percentage of the screen and timing everything right, and having two tabs overlaid is a nightmare, especially if you have to pause often, like I do, to let my dog out. The watch-along is cool if it works for some people, but it doesn't work for everyone. Those of us who can't do the watch-along end up paying for Patreon for one of two things: the video that will eventually be on YT for free, or the video with swears and gore, but it's still edited down. That doesn't seem fair. Love your reactions; it's just something to think about, so everyone on The Hot Mess Express can enjoy the full video and your full reaction.

Have you seen Once Upon a Time or Supernatural? Those are both awesome shows.

I would stick with 90s and early 00s shows especially cult following types that won’t have copyright bots looking for them. Seaquest. Eureka. Merlin. Pushing Daisies. Farscape.

Would love to see reactions to psych, supernatural or doctor who

I'd say "The Good Place," "Supernatural," and "Game of Thrones" are all strong choices. So is "Doctor Who" starting with the 2005 season with Christopher Eckleson.

Maybe try uploading to google drive and just posting a free link in the description of the video? Someone else I watch does this and their videos are safe. Really want to see you react until at least the end of season 4 but do what works best for you.

It is May, aka Star Wars month. This would be the perfect time to watch The Mandalorian.

I would say watch “Charmed” or “Scandal” both cult shows from our millennial era 😎😎

Babylon 5. Great space opera with a lot of stuff you would like.

Miss Ashley? "Orphan Black". Just, go straight into it -- you will LOVE it. :-D Only five seasons, ten episodes each, and I'm not spoiling the experience for you. Don't dilly dally!

Ashleigh might want to do movies on Wednesdays for a while just to be on the safe side!

Please keep going and put it on Patreon at least!! You’re just getting into the BEST parts!!

Gilmore Girls, Supernatural, Leverage, Scrubs, and Flight of the Conchords just to name a few!

Something that might work and would get a lot of viewers. Do one of Anthony Bourdain's shows. No Reservations would be so much fun to see you watch.

Oh man! That sucks for you! What about Charmed (OG), Once Upon A Time or The Good Place? 3 excellent options from different genres! Maybe you can make Stranger Things a patreon exclusive like Angel was and then make the episodes like 0.50 each like you did with Angel?

red dwarf, classic british sci-fi, comedy

You should watch Super 8! It has very similar vibes as Stranger Things. I think you would love it

I love to see Stranger things to maybe become a Patreon exclusive!

How about just a watch along (full episode) video only.

Hmm I'm always up for Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon reactions ( only if you've not already seen them obviously). Some other great shows for reactions, imo, are Gilmore Girls, Six Feet Under, The Tudors, What We Do In The Shadows... these are all very different types of shows so not sure which you'd like best. The Good Place could be another good one.

Farscape! It walked so Guardians of the Galaxy could run.

Cobra Kai!

Leverage. Rich, powerful, horrible people face actual consequences. Witty dialogue. Familiar faces. May require some guidance on episode watch order for first season.

Band of Brothers!

Babylon 5

Hugh Jass makes some awesome Hard drives...

GILMORE GIRLS!

I would say, Sherlock, Veronica Mars, or From ❤️

I urge you to try "The Prisoner", a British series from 1967. It's only 17 one-hour episodes (really only 45 min after subtracting for commercials and long intros.) You can do two each Friday and be done quickly. It's a mind-****. You might want to be a smidge "elevated" for the final two episodes.

Ack! Sorry to hear, and totally understand needing to avoid further strikes. Random movies to help fill the schedule while you work on stuff would be cool. Perhaps some comedies, or older classics?

More fun. Both very unique talents. https://youtu.be/dAapRoII4-s?si=mRxrlY9fJCQFrhzP

https://youtu.be/Hj5ciKItJLA?si=xS3YvXWrNrWPmSkZ For giggles and wiggles.

How I Met Your Mother

Rewatch the first Season of Buffy. . .a man can dream lol. The first 5 seasons of Supernatural are pretty great. I don't think anyone would mind you taking a break from Supernatural after the 5th season. Then maybe coming back to it here and there.

The Good Place. A palette cleanser

Freaks and Geeks.

Good idea on the hard drive!

LOST is another good cherish.

Ashleigh you're always asking for the kissing...Along with loving the silly, you're a big romantic. True story the actress who voices Judy Hopps on Zootopia, is the actress playing Snow White on Once Upon a Time...on the set she fell in love with the actor who plays Prince Charming, they are married with two kids.

Catch up on Marvel TV series. Some are 6 episodes.

LOST, Breaking Bad, The Leftovers, Fargo

Either It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or Reno 911 would be great TV shows.

Sorry I know you got a lot going on but Angel season 5 🤞🙏😁

2002 dark comedy The Rules of Attraction, starting James Van Der Beek who recently passed away Feb 11th💙

I think it's time for Fawlty Towers. Fawlty Towers is one of the greatest British sticoms, and has been called the British sitcom against which all other must be judged. It was written by and stars John Cleese, as Basil Fawlty, and Connie Booth (who was married to Cleese while writing and filming the first season) as the housemaid, Polly. It also stars the late Prunella Scales as Sybil Fawlty. There are only two seasons of six half-hour episodes. So doing three at a time will get you through all twelve episodes in a quick four weeks.

Interview with the Vampire tv series Ashleigh you would love it♥️

My choices would be Supernatural, Once Upon a Time, Charmed, or Peaky Blinders

How I Met Your Mother was great for the first few seasons. Ghosts is a currently running show that's hilarious. The Simpsons in its prime was amazing. Not that Ashleigh should watch all 800+ episodes, but seasons 2 - 7 are filled with TV gold. There's the classic Looney Tunes shorts, which are available in various collections. Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated was an absolute gem from 15 years ago. A lot of people are skeptical when I recommend it, because they think of Scooby Doo from the 70s. But Mystery Incorporated is basically crossing the characters from Scooby Doo with the storytelling of Buffy. It has character development, relationships, and ongoing stories/mysteries. I'd like to see Ashleigh react to classic 80s action shows, like The A-Team, MacGyver, and Knight Rider. It might get a bit repetitive to watch the entire series, but a selection of episodes would be fun. I'd also love to see a selection of Star Trek episodes. (Both Original Series and Next Generation.) Heated Rivalry was wonderful, and that's only 6 episodes. And I agree with everyone who recommends The Good Place. But I believe Ashleigh has already seen it. (In her Ant Man Quantumania reaction, she recognized the actor who played Chidi.)

Oh that sucks about the copyright strikes - definitely a good idea to back away for the time being. I like the suggestion that you keep doing Stranger Things as a patreon exclusive, that would be great. But at the same time, I understand that your time is finite and you have to focus on things that are going to directly bring in income. Though maybe a separate tier where you do one patreon exclusive show at a time? As far as other shows that would be awesome to see you react to, I definitely agree that The Good Place is outstanding. If you're up for some sci-fi, I cannot recommend Farscape highly enough - it is the weirdest but also the best sci-fi show ever on television, and I will die on that hill.

Please please, just post on Patreon, your Stranger things reactions are the reason I paid for Patreon. I know you have a huge problem with copyright but everyone else has theirs on Patreon, should be okay there.

Very sorry YT causes extra unnecessary stress. Strike free stress-free zone will always be Fred Astaire movies from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s with his unique dancing partners: Ginger Rodgers, Elenore Powell, Rita Hayworth, Vera Ellen, Cyd Charisse, and Leslie Caron you could do a compare and contrast as Hayworth, Ellen, Charisse, and Caron also danced with Gene Kelly. Another non-strike zone would be silent era comedies with Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd. And after watching a few Chaplin movies you could better appreciate Robert Downey Jr's Chaplin. One very interesting fact about that movie is that Chaplin's daughter plays her grandmother in that film. We are all behind you, whatever you decide to do.

+1 for Reacher

Oww, Ashleigh, this sucks. Everything has been going wrong for you! I am not upset about you not being able to post Stranger things, I feel bad cause this year has been hell. Things will turn around, I just know it. On that, I would be SUPER interested in seeing you react to the animated series Primal. I also think the animated movie Fire & Ice makes a good companion piece to go along with the series. It is I think the perfect series for someone to react to if they are as pro as you are, but so far only a couple of very obscure channels of newbies have attempted it and they were completely unprepared. The series was aired on adult swim and the movie is really old so little worries about copyright, doubt any bots are looking for that movie.

Don't take a risk on getting that third strike...safest non-strike TV shows would be Twilight Zone...1960s version and or Once Upon a Time.

There are some Great Episodes from ESPN Films.

“BAND OF BROTHERS”, ITS A 10 EPISODE MINSERIES FROM HBO

Ugh sorry about the copyright strikes. YT is so annoying. I'm putting my vote in for Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, or Succession.

Damn its not like they are losing viewership on a 6 year old season. Yellowjackets I think you might like

Archer and Reacher please.

Also wanted to mention Schmigadoon - musical comedy on Apple TV that deserves more attention.

A quick filler could be Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog - short and sweet. Did you ever watch The Good Place or Brooklyn 99?

Sons of anarchy

Once Upon A Time and Quantum Leap

Can you continue to post the watch alongs and just pause the YouTube edits?

Ted Lasso, The Good Place, & Shrinking are all excellent shows. Also, if you just want something fun, Psych is one of my all-time favorite shows.

Doctor Who!

Definitely save everything and as a long term IT person, I'd suggest saving it on more than 1 hard drive if not setting up a RAID array.

Scrubs. Just....scrubs

For TV Shows, I would suggest: The Nanny Pushing Daisies Hot in Cleveland Parks and Rec In Living Color Designing Women Fairie Tale Theatre Tales From the Crypt Forever Knight The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Liberty’s Kids Unsolved Mysteries(original) Ghosts (American version) The Muppet Show The Drew Carey Show Allo Allo Are You Being Served Blackadder All Creatures Great and Small (newer version) For Movies, I would suggest: Charade (1963) Westworld Harvey Noises Off Barbarella Cinderella (1997 with Brandy and Whitney Houston) Fierce Creatures Sleuth (original 1972 version) Cannonball Run The Adventures of Robin Hood The Great Race Court Jester Earth Girls Are Easy The Towering Inferno Batman the Movie (1966) Julie and Julia You’ve Got Mail V.I.Ps Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid After the Thin Man

For TV series, some great shorter ones are: Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Severance, The Leftovers, Watchmen, Chernobyl, The Righteous Gemstones, and Fleabag

Maybe you post the reviews for Stranger Things elsewhere moving forward. That way, you can still do it while also avoiding YT's wrath too.

I say keep Strange Things on Patreon. It sucks, but hey your half way through the series it would be a bummer if you didn't continue it.

Can you put the watch alongs Stranger Things on youtube still, since they don't show anything? Or maybe just make it a Patreon exlucise? For a New Series, Arrested Development!

We have Memorial Day this month, so maybe Band of Brothers?

..... could one of these Wednesdays finally be a day for Josie and the Pussycats?? 😸

Batman the animated series

Ted Lasso would be great! The Pitt, Severance, Dexter would be fun too.

You might like The Magicians or Vampire Diaries. Pushing Daisies or Hannibal are only two and three seasons respectively.

Ashleigh, i know there had to be alot of tears and panic when u got the 2nd strike. i get mad at these studios, penalizing yall. Youtubers are free marketing for movies and shows of theirs. yall these days have digital releases u can rent before dvd and streaming, and they have enough business sense to take advantage of free marketing. i'd be fine if u went to movies on Wednesdays from now on.( I'm also positive that i will get hostility from patrons for that comment . ) it's better than the obvious result after the 3rd. I know it's parasocial, but i know more about u than i know about my own family . It doesn't help that I'm an autistic introvert with severe anxiety and epilepsy. So... yeah. It's relaxing watching movies with u. I'll fix a frozen pepperoni pizza and drink a Mountain Dew with ur reactions. U definitely have alot of fans out here who love u and would miss u if ur channel was taken down. I wouldn't mind 3 movies a week. I'm just disappointed u won't get to see the show with us, but u should finish it off the channel. My thoughts r with u and Stay Groovy.

Agents of Shield. You liked Colson. You'll get a lot more of him... 🤷‍♂️

Sorry you're dealin' with this nonsense. For TV shows, I will always recommend "Breaking Bad" as everyone should watch it... Would love to see you react to "Legion" and "Barry" as well. As always, when you have a last-minute gap to fill, I'll mention "Joe vs the Volcano" is sitting in the bullpen!

The Umbrella Academy would be a great choice!

Black mirror

Sherlock or Doctor Who would be wonderful!

Grimm is a great show AND it's not a Netflix show (it's on Prime) I think you might like that one. An alternate if you wanna go more Sci-Fi would be The Expanse.

I’d highly recommend the tv show: ‘Hannibal’ It’s only 3 seasons long, with 39 episodes. And it’s not incredibly scary. It stars Mads Mikkelsen & Hugh Dancy. If you haven’t seen it, it’s definitely worth a watch.

I would like to recommend: Ted Lasso (2020-2023) plus a new season starts this August Battlestar Galactica (2004-2008) gotta start with the two part mini series Sweet Magnolias (2020-2024) new season starts this June The Pitt (2025-2026) Severance (2 seasons) Fallout (2024-2026) The Way Home (2023-2026) New season soon Fringe (2008-2013)

WTH YouTube!? Can you continue the series as Patreon only?

The Canadian series Road to Avonlea. It came out in the 1990s and still holds up, in my opinion. It’s on their streaming platform, GazeboTV!

The Secret of My Success. Episodes of Shelley Duvalle's Faerie Tale Theatre. Commando.

George of the Jungle(with Brendan Fraser). Support Your Local Sheriff. Maverick. A Knight's Tale.

There are a lot of limited series out there you could watch that are really good and are only 5-10 episodes long. That way you wouldn’t get locked into multiple seasons over multiple months. -Band of Brothers. -the Queen‘s gambit. -Chernobyl. All good options.

Wow, that sucks so much! I was so loving watching you discover Stranger Things and looking forward to watching you react to Season 4! Is there any other place you could post them for people to watch? Is it just youtube being a butt? For suggestionsl LOST (Very exciting mystery series) uhm...One Piece, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,

I am not much interested in TV show but why not consider some older shows like The Dick Van Dyke Show, or The Restless Gun?

Since you like Val Kilmer, you could watch Real Genius

If you wanna try some shorter, older shows that you might not otherwise see, you could check around for the most recommended episodes of stuff like Night Court or Full House or The Andy Griffith Show

May I suggest Dr Horrible’s Singalong Blog!

The What We Do In The Shadows TV series. I know how much you liked the movie. The series is just as funny if not more so.

I would definitely prefer some movies for a bit on Wednesday than going back to TV shows 👍

The Boys

I’m so sorry to hear that. Would you consider uploading them straight to patreon? I know we’d love to see your reaction to the rest of the series. Other TV series to check out -Dexter -Haunting of Hill House (this is a limited series with just 10 episodes but it’s hands down one of the best shows)

Like mentioned here before, Band of Brothers and Grimm. I love BOB, and really enjoyed Grimm because of the fairytall aspect

White Lotus

Maybe it's a good chance for some of the old shows? Stargate, M.A.S.H. MacGyver, Mission Impossible. Just a few of my favorites.

How about Ted Lasso? The new season is coming soon. It's nice and uplifting.

Sorry for the strikes. You Tube can be quite frustrating. That said, their are enough other shows and other options such as Patreon as others have suggested to risk losing your channel on YouTube. We subscribers are with you and will understand. Best wishes.

Totally Ted Lasso

Think you'd have fun with Arrested Development

I’d say just upload the reaction to here on Patreon instead, still try on YT too but on here should be the main upload point

Have you seen Once Upon a Time?

"Deadwood" is a great series. Very heavy on the character interactions and all of em are interesting!

You should DEFINITELY check out Absolutely Fabulous! The episodes fly by, it's hilarious, and I think it's on Peacock.

I'm sorry to hear that Ash. I'll always recommend Succession, Merlin, or anything Mike Flanagan.

I think you would love Ted Lasso.

You should do Riverdale

What about romance killer it’s a anime and it’s actually quite funny.

Whatever happens, just know: everything will be all right. Not that you want to rebuild, and personally I don't think you'll have to, but if you did end up in that position, your audience would follow. We're all in your corner. It will be okay.

I would love for you to keep posting it on Patreon though

Queen Gambit Netflix Haunting of Hill House or any of Mike Flanagan but Hill House is his first. Arcane Mrs. Maisel Pushing Daisies Those are my husband's and I top 5 hope it helps you put a list together.

Ted Lasso!!!

Supernatural

Another vote for The Good Place!

Please please pleaseeeee keep up with Stranger Things just here on patreon🙏...I'm begging you

We need more short shows to give variety: Heated Rivalry, The IT Crowd, Don't Trust the B in Apt 23, Pushing Daisies, Cobra Kai

Band of Brothers. It's only 10 episodes and is the best WWII series. You would love it.

It seems weird that everyone else has reacted to Heated Rivalry but you!

What We Do in that Shadows. Funny and short seasons and short episodes. Matt Berry could read a phone book and I'd be in.

Grimm. Not enough people react to this wonderful 6 season show. It puts a whole new light to fairy tales.

It would be something totally different for you (might bring new peeps to the channel!) but if you're willing to make a time commitment Game of Thrones is a great choice. Severance is shorter but would also be SO cool to see!

Sirens, Sex and the city, peaky blinders, You, queens gambit, inventing Anna, beef, or Maid are my TV suggestions 😃

I hope it does not come to that! It’s insanely ridiculous you would receive strikes, but you definitely have to put the channel first! Maybe just pull a second place movie winner from a recent poll to put in there! Either way, we’re excited for all of your upcoming content. ♥️

I loved the series Lucifer. In the same line supernatural. And if we want funny Archer. My top 3 recommendations

Ever consider an animated show? You might really enjoy something like Archer.

Frieren: Beyond Journeys End. Its available on Hulu, Crunchyroll and Netflix

Don't take the chance of losing the channel Ashleigh! Some of us really depend on it to bring a bit of cheer into our lives!

Some classic Futurama or The Simpsons episodes

A mini series from 2000 called The 10th Kingdom. Fairytale with funny.

That stinks. Sorry to hear that. What about Pluribus?

Why not upload those directly to Patreon. YT Copyright cant get you here

☹️ that sucks so hard, sorry that happened to you. I was kind of hoping after Stranger Things we could catch up on shows started but never finished? Like The Last of Us or The Boys? Or I'd like a quick miniseries, like Chernobyl or Adolescence

What about keeping up with stranger things reactions just on Patreon for now and not posting on YouTube until the copyright stuff is sorted?

I would love you to react to Once Upon a Time even though it lost on a different poll

Have you watched Brooklyn 99 or Ted Lasso? I’m currently doing rewatches of both with my husband. He suffers from depression and anxiety and I’ve never heard him laugh the way he is with Brooklyn 99. 🥹🩷

The Good Place!
