Mingo, Malik (MW) The L.A. Complex 100

From executive producers Martin Gero, Stephen Stohn, Linda Schuyler, and Troy Miller, The L.A. Complex is a modern take on "Melrose Place," centering on young aspiring entertainers trying to make it in Hollywood. The main character of the show is Abby Vargas, played by Cassie Steele. Some of you may know her from the popular show, Degrassi, where she played Manny. Even though she is the main character, the other characters have just as much of a storyline as she does. The setting is Hollywood but like Melrose Place, all of the characters live in an apartment complex with other aspiring entertainers, called "The Luxe." This show aired on the CW starting in 2012, and made it to season 2! However, the CW did not order a 3rd season, cancelling the show. Since it was on a broadcast network, the show was paid for my advertisers. This show will make you laugh, make you cry, make you angry and surprise you! This has literally been one of the best shows I have ever seen! Even though it was cancelled, you can luckily watch the 19 episodes on Netflix, Amazon, and iTunes! The L.A. Complex is a very well written show, and you will see why it is one of my favorites after you watch this preview!

The series has already aired two seasons and hopefully will get picked up for a third. What I enjoy about this show is it isn't your average reality show. There isn't pointless fighting, nonsense, and back stabbing going on. It's just five friends doing whatever they want and enjoying the ride along the way. The show still airs a few episodes on MTV2 from time to time and majority of season 2 on MTV2.com.

Shotts, Camille (TTh) Outnumbered 100

Outnumbered is a show that originally aired in the UK on BBC One in 2007, and was later broadcasted on BBC America and some PBS stations in the US in July 2011. It is also available to watch on HULU. It ran for a total of 5, 6 episode long, series and 3 Christmas Specials. The show was produced by Hat Trick Productions and the Executive Producers are Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, who also wrote the scripts. Outnumbered stars Hugh Dennis and Claire skinner as the "outnumbered" parents of three children, each unruly in their own way. The eldest Brockman child, Jake, is the straight man of the show, the middle child Ben is a pathological liar, and youngest sibling Karen is known for her own brand of precociousness that involves criticizing nearly everything she comes across. The series is a comedy which garnered fame because of it's unusual script style- in that it is "semi-scripted," that adult actors are given a script and general outline of how a scene should go and where the directors/writers want it to end up, but the child actors are given no script and have to go only off of last minute instructions from the writers. The improvisation of the kid's allows from a genuine feel to the dialogue and makes for a unique viewing experience that feels as if you're actually watching the on-goings inside a real family home in South London.

Pulte, Amanda (MW) GCB 100

GCB is a series that aired in ABC in 2011. The series follows Amanda Vaughn as she adjusts to life back in her childhood home following the scandalous death of her husband. Amanda was a mean girl in high school, but she's changed; however, the women she used to terrorize don't believe her and they're out for revenge. I loved the series because it was incredibly witty and the cast was hilarious. The characters were well developed and the writers managed to highlight their flaws and strengths in character, making the "villains" of the show lovable. It starred Leslie Bibb, Annie Potts, Kristen Chenoweth, Marisol Nichols, and Miriam Shor. Unfortunately some people who never watched the series found it to be offensive because it was based on a book called "Good Christian Bitches" by Kim Gatlin. One Million Moms, an organization of stay at home moms who need a hobby, campaigned against the show and pressured several advertisers into pulling their ads from the show. The series wasn't renewed for another season and it ended on a cliff-hanger!

England, Tim (MW-TTh) The Roosevelts: An Intimate History

PBS is airing a seven-part documentary series (14 hours worth of programming), called The Roosevelts: An Intimate History. It started Sunday on the PBS affiliates in Austin and San Antonio. The series is directed by one of the best documentary makers ever: Ken Burns. Burns has created for PBS series on The Civil War, World War II, The Brooklyn Bridge, Mark Twain, The Dust Bowl, The Jazz Age, Baseball, The National Parks System and more. He never disappoints in how he tells a story combining voice talent who read the words of the people shown in his documentaries. He selects music that fits the era for which the documentary depicts. Notable actors like Meryl Streep and Paul Giamatti will be heard in this one. Burns, in effect, immerses the viewer in the era. With this latest documentary, we'll learn more about the lives of Theodore Roosevelt who ascended to the president upon the assassination of William McKinley in 1901. At age 42, he was the youngest president in American history. Theodore was a Republican who encouraged a progressive movement that led to trust busting and greater regulation of industry. His distant cousin, Franklin Roosevelt, was elected president in 1932 during the Great Depression -- a time of great hardship and high unemployment in America. FDR ushered in many new programs to help the poor and the elderly. He also led America through World War II -- a war the nation entered after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. His wife, Eleanor, was a woman of conscience. She, in effect, led the women's movement in her era. These three people had a profound impact on America in the 20th century. I think it'll be a series worth watching.

Executive Producer: Paul Barnes
Director: Ken Burns

Sipe, Rachel (MW) The Hotwives of Orlando 100 (33 watch or will watch)

I am a fan of all of the Real Housewives series and heard about this new show on Hulu called "The Hotwives of Orlando". They are essentially mocking the women on the show, "The Real Housewives of ____." I found this humorous because of the crazy drama that occurs on the Real Housewives. I thought most people would find this show funny due to them not being a huge fan of one of the most popular franchises in Reality Television, The Real Housewives series.

In her time in Mountain Brook Jaime meets a group of women who are true Southern belles that try to get Jaime into the Southern way of life. Although excepting of where her husband is from she is still a Jersey girl at heart and will not let anyone forget that. What keeps me interested in the show is how funny and blunt Jaime is. She is a great example of a strong woman that won't conform and lose herself to be accepted.

Kellum, Hailey (MW) Being Human 100

Being Human originally aired on January 17, 2011 and follows three people, based out of Boston, living in the same household. They live completely normal lives despite the fact that one is a vampire, one a werewolf, and the other a ghost. Aiden, the vampire, is caught between a long line of original vampires that recently moved back to Boston and keeping up with his, "normal life" as nurse in a hospital. Josh, the werewolf, deals with his, "curse" while trying to find a cure for himself and manage a developing relationship without hurting anymore people. Last but not least, Sally, the ghost, tries to understand how she died and tries to find a way to bring herself back to life. This series provides drama, comedy, action, and basically a little bit of everything. Big shows like The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, and Teen Wolf, are clear signs that the supernatural and science fiction genre in television is gaining a lot of popularity. Being Human is unique in a way that it introduces problems and conflicts that have never before been brought up in other vampire/werewolf shows. It also doesn't make me think of Twilight every time I watch it, which is a plus because that means the show is steering away from the typical vampire/werewolf scenarios that we've all seen before.

wanting to stay. All in all, the show provides entertainment and gives ideas for viewers to take on with their own home improvement projects.

Garcia, Sergio (MW) The Flash 100

The Flash is an upcoming superhero fiction/action television series developed by writers and executive producers Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Geoff Johns. The series will be aired October 7 on the CW. The show is a spin off to Arrow, which will share the same universe. It is centered on the popular DC Comic character Barry Allen/ The Flash, who witnessed his mother murder and his father being wrongly accused. Upon a mission to uncover the truth about the murder of his mother, Allen gets struck by lighting and enters a coma. After waking up, he discovers that he has the ability to move at superhuman speed. With his new ability, he is determined to protect his city and bring justice upon the murder of his mother. Reasons to be excited about The Flash, is that DC Entertainment has had a good track record when it comes to their television series like Arrow and Smallville, and this will be the first time that we get to see a live action adaption of
The Flash. The show has not come yet, but I can tell that it will be better than that Green Lantern film.

de la Rosa IV, Felix (TTh) Smash 100 (72 said it's worth watching)

"Smash" is a musical drama, with an all star cast ranging from movie marvels to Broadway babies with Angelica Huston, Debra Messing, Megan Hilty, and Americas very own Idol runner up Katharine McPhee, who all together make the show a "SMASH" hit along with their numerous amount of Award Winning guest stars (Jennifer Hudson, ect). SMASH celebrates the beauty and heartbreak of the Broadway theater as it follows a series of dreamers and schemers who all have one common desire - to be a "Smash."

Smash centers around a Broadway writing team who comes up with the idea to create a musical about the life of Marilyn Monroe where two aspiring actresses "Karen Cartwright" Katharine McPhee and "Ivy Lynn" (Megan Hilty), fight for the coveted role of Marilyn Monroe and what it take to fully be a Bombshell. The show lets the audience see that "In's and Outs" of the theater community and all the process that it takes to create a show, form the script, music, choreography, to finally the Main Stage. OF COURSE it is not fully a Theater story with out a little bit of "Drama" and SMASH has it all, it shows the realistic aspects of how far a people will go to make it to the top at all cost no matter who gets caught in their cross fire, and what happens when another show seems to steal the spotlight.

Kardani, Jasmine (TTh) The Fosters 100

The Fosters is a hit show on ABC Family. It is a compelling, one-hour drama about a multi-ethnic family mix of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms. Stef Foster, a dedicated police officer, and her partner Lena Adams, a school vice principal, have built a close-knit, loving family with Stef's biological son from a previous marriage, Brandon, and their adopted twins, Mariana and Jesus. Their lives are disrupted in unexpected ways when Lena meets Callie, a hardened teen with an abusive past who has spent her life in and out of foster homes. Lena and Stef welcome Callie and her brother, Jude, into their home thinking it's just for a few weeks, until a more permanent placement can be found. But life has something else in store for the Fosters.
The idea for The Fosters was originally conceived by openly gay creators Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige who wanted to write a drama that reflected the "modern American family". Peter Paige and Bradley Bredeweg, also serve as executive producers alongside Jennifer Lopez whose production company, Nuyorican Productions, is responsible for putting The Fosters on air.
This show is something to watch because the plot portrays the normal every day issues and events teenagers & families go through, but with a "modern" twist. You can watch the first season of The Fosters on Netflix and then tune in for the second season on the ABC Family channel, Monday nights at 7 pm.

Garcia, Dean (MW) Flashpoint 100

Flashpoint is based on a SRU team (Strategic Response Unit) located in Toronto. High risk is their business and these men and women do it all: rescue hostages, bust gangs, defuse bombs. Talk down suicidal teens. Protect the Pope. They handle state-of-the-art weapons - sniper rifles, flash-bang grenades, tasers. They climb the sides of buildings. See through walls. But they're different from other SWAT teams. Because their arsenal also includes a gift for words. A knowledge of human intuition. An instinct for when it's time to negotiate - and when the 'solution' calls for something more.

Aveja, Efrain (MW) Hello Ladies 100 (58 plan to watch it)

Stephen Merchant, co-executive producer of The Office, brings his newest show to HBO playing an Englishmen trying to find love in Los Angeles. What could go wrong? Well as you watch the show you discover that everything could possibly go wrong for Merchant's character, Stuart Pritchard. Pritchard will do anything and I mean anything to land dates with beautiful women. Pritchard is a geeky, awkward web designer that just can't catch a break, but it's at his own doing. He constantly puts himself in humiliating situations and you would think he learned his lesson to not chase models. Obviously, he doesn't and continues to embarrass himself. If you've ever seen any of Merchant's shows such as The Office, An Idiot Abroad, The Ricky Gervais Show, or Life's Too Short then you'll definitely want to check out Hello Ladies because it's the same sort of concept where you have the protagonist put himself in awkward situations and the only thing you can do is sit and laugh. HBO did not renew the series for a second season, but they did want to air a special to wrap up the series. You can currently watch every episode from the first season on HBO Go.

Neese, Abigail (MW) Firefly 100

Firefly is a science-fiction series about a band of eclectic friends—or, as I like to call them, "renegade space cowboys"—living on a "Firefly-class spaceship" in the year 2517. The series was produced by Joss Whedon and Tim Minear, and is centered around nine individuals who are trekking across space, seeking adventure, and trying to live independently and in peace from a corrupt and callous Alliance government. Joss Whedon described, Firefly as "nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things." With its futuristic, western and dystopian vibe, Firefly delivers its viewers with an exciting journey that combines all the elements of a great show (comedy, violence, action, romance, etc…) and is sure to leave the audience demanding more.

http://youtu.be/mQw0rwf8xkQ.
From writer and executive producer Glen Morgan (The X-Files), Intruders is about a secret society devoted to chasing immortality by seeking refuge in the bodies of others. A contemporary, chilling, paranormal tale set in the moody Pacific Northwest, the eight part series spins a fascinating and complex web of drama. As strange, apparently unrelated events start happening, multiple story-lines – a missing wife, an assassin covering his crimes, a child on the run – begin to intertwine to reveal a conspiracy that will forever change our understanding of human nature. Produced by BBC Worldwide Productions, the series is based on British novelist Michael Marshall Smith's 'The Intruders'. Intruders premieres Saturday, August 23 at 10/9c on BBC AMERICA.
Jack Whelan (John Simm), a former LAPD cop with a troubled and violent history, finds the quiet idyllic life he has crafted with his wife, Amy (Mira Sorvino), shattered when she vanishes. Jack is drawn deeper into the mystery when his high school friend, Gary Fischer (Tory Kittles), shows up on his doorstep asking for help with a murder case. Initially dismissive of Gary's claims, the more Jack investigates the more complex and surreal his discoveries become. What Jack uncovers leads him down the dark path of his own past and closer to the terrifying revelations about a secret society known as Qui Reverti.
In order to conceal the truth, an assassin named Richard Shepherd (James Frain) is embarking on a series of lethal executions and is in pursuit of a seemingly innocent nine-year-old girl, Madison (Millie Brown) – a run away with a score to settle who could be the end of them all.
With Gary's help, Jack is determined to find and save the wife he loves, at any cost…
"Because in the beginning, there was death."

McCain, Avery (TTH) Married at First Sight 100

Married at First Sight is a new television reality show on channel fyi,. The concept of this reality show consists of a group of experts thats match up three couples who they believe are perfect for each other. These "soul mates" are matched up based on their careers, values and morals, and intimacy levels. However, there is a catch: these people do not know each other and do not even know what their names are by the time they say "I Do". In this show, they are literally and legally married at first sight; they challenging themselves to go into a commitment blind.
The spouses are strangers and must live together, facing all conflicts that any other married couple would have to go through. The three couples must complete five weeks of being married to each other before they can decide if they want to stay married or get a legal divorce. It's interesting to watch these people slowly fall in love grow a hatred for their spouse.

Roberson, Q'Anteria (TH) Survivors 100

The show I have chosen is titled Survivors. Survivors is a British science fiction television series. The series was produced by BBC and aired on their networks. The show tells of a group of people that have survived a type of flu that is unknown. The flu has

wiped out most of the human population and the resources we need daily. The group of people attempt to survive on their own, with little to no food or water and absolutely no help from authorities. The show premiered in November of 2008 and ended in February
2010. I came across the show on Netflix and quickly watched and finished its 2 seasons. The plot of the show and the struggles that the characters endure remind me very much of The Walking Dead, which is one of my favorite shows, and I believe that is why
I enjoyed it so much. The show starts Julie Graham, Max Beesley, Zoe Tapper, Paterson Joseph and Phillip Rhys.

NCIS has been named the number one drama. It appeals to a wide variety of audiences. It has crime, drama, suspense, and humor all wrapped up into one show. Unlike most shows today, it has remained family friendly.  NCIS New Orleans has a cast that appeals to a wide variety of fans and I know it will be successful. I hope this show will work for the project.

Reyes, Ayla (TTh) Dead Like Me 100

Dead Like Me was a original showtime series that aired in 2003 to 2004 created by Bryan Fuller.
The gist of the series is about a college drop out (Georgia Lass) that is unhappy in life and unfortunately dies from a toilet seat hitting her head that fell from the MIR space station. She is then asked to join a group of grim reapers who mixes in among the living and takes their souls just before they die. The group of reapers died with with lessons to still be learned and the series go on to show them still running into the same problems and learning from them, just from a different perspective.
Even though the show sounds pretty morbid, it's is a hilarious dark comedy that will guarantee a good laugh and possibly even teach the viewers something they can use in reality.
