Customer Reviews
Love it 😍
l Love it but lately they’ve just been doing re-runs so it’s not that interesting but it’s still pretty good 😊
Episode 400: One word…
Horrendous.
Just say it’s a rerun
They used to tell you it’s a re-run. Now they just mash up old stories and never mention it. Would much prefer it to just say “this is a new arrangement of older pieces” or whatever
