Harris, Peyton (MW) The Spoils Before Dying 100

The Spoils Before Dying is a comedy series on the cable network IFC that is about an author telling the story of his book, The Spoils Before Dying. The storyline follows a jazz star that begins an investigation on the murder of a fellow jazz star. The show is a satire on how ridiculously bad movies and television shows were in the past. Will Ferrell not only is the executive producer, but he also stars as the often-rambling author. This series is utterly ridiculous and goes in many different humorous directions.

Gambill, Jacob (MW) Nathan For You 100

Nathan For You is an American comedy series that airs on Comedy Central. The show is set up like a documentary/reality show where we see Nathan Fielder use his degree in business and past experiences to help small, struggling businesses produce a profit. His ideas for turning the businesses around are very elaborate, and most of the time will leave you scratching your head. For example, in one episode Nathan convinces a frozen yogurt store to sell a poo flavored yogurt for an entire day, and the best part is the businesses and people involved with Nathan in each episode are real people with real reactions and he's always awkwardly trying to impress the ladies. Nathan has made national headlines with a couple stunts, including my personal favorite "Dumb Starbucks". This show is worth a watch and will have you shaking your head in disbelief on how wrong, and elaborate his business moves are and it also shows just how far people will go to save their business. The show first aired February 28, 2013 and plans to air its third season on October 15, 2015 and episodes can also be seen on Hulu and YouTube. The shows executive producers are Nathan Fielder, Michael Koman, Dave Kneebone, Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim.

Ellis, Brett (MW) Batman: the Animated Series 100

Produced for television by Jean H. MacCurdy and Tom Ruegger, Batman:the Animated Series is an old stand-by for contemporary fans of the Batman franchise. The basic concept tells the story of Bruce Wayne, billionaire, playboy philanthropist and his crime-fighting alter-ego, Batman. Batman goes on villain of the day adventures, stopping old classic villains like the Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy, but also fights villains original to the show, like Harley Quinn and Lock-Up. The story goes for a very film-noir look and is one of the few television programs that uses real guns and more gritty imagery. The variety of the villains and the creativity of the concepts makes for a great show for ages 12 and up and has aged very well throughout the years.

I would like to show the class the new crime drama television series called Narcos. It just debuted on Netflix August 28, 2015. It is the real-life story of Colombian cocaine drug lord Pablo Escobar and police efforts to catch him. The first season consists of 10 episodes. Narcos, was created by Chris Brancato, Carlos Bernard and Doug Miro. As soon as I saw the first episode, I was hooked.... I can't stop watching! It is a great series, filled with crime, action, and drama! I really love that the series shows real documents, videos, pictures and presents us with several real life facts of Pablo Escobar throughout the episodes. It is crazy to see the cartels and the police in a constant bloody battle that never seems to end.

McElwee, Shelby (MW) Scream: the TV Series 100

If you've ever seen the Scream movies, you know it's a cliche slasher movie that pokes fun at cliche slasher movies. MTV decided to turn this idea into a TV series, stretching the first season into ten episodes.

Turning a slasher movie into a TV series makes it much easier to grow attached to more characters, as there aren't just one or two main ones involved and it's stretched over a longer period of time. One of the characters even claims, "You can't do a slasher movie as a TV series. Slasher movies burn bright and fast." This show gives a new life (and mask) to the Scream movies.

"Everyone has secrets. Everyone tells lies. And everyone is fair game."

Since this is a CW show, most of the criminals are attractive and athletic teenagers. The main dilemma of the series is that the Earth is inhabitable in The Ark's eyes, and they ship the prisoners to earth every 10 years to see if the Earth is still inhabitable.

Allen, Amanda (MW) The Eric Andre Show 100

The show is setup as if it were a legitimate talk show, but it is the complete opposite. In the beginning seasons Eric Andre and Hannibal Buress (the hosts) bring in their own "celebrites," or people dressed like common known celebrities, to interview them with ridiculous useless questions. I enjoy the show because it is funny and unpredictable. The show started out on little to no budget and is now on Adult Swim featuring real celebrities in every episode. Andrew Barchilon is the executive producer.

Felan, Maritza (TTh) Girl Code 100

There's a sisterhood that women share, and its tenet is simple: We're in this together! Surviving the wonders and woes of the female sex, however, demands that its members abide by the "code" because, you know, starting a catfight on the dance floor or cutting a bathroom line is not cool. What's in this how-to manual? In the same irreverent way that MTV 2's popular "Guy Code" addresses manliness, "Girl Code" offers over-the-top tips to open the dialogue about being a woman, covering everything from "frenemies" and girl fights to dancing, drinking and dating. Female comics, athletes and entertainers -- and even some dudes -- discuss the rules girls can use for any and every situation in life. This is the type of show to not hold back on honest advice of how a woman should deal with things in life and just lays it out all on the table... Girl Code!

Petrequin, Allie (MW) Over the Garden Wall 10

Over The Garden Wall was a Cartoon Network mini-series created and produced by Patrick McHale. After he worked on the network's previous shows (Adventure Time, Flapjack) they decided to fund it as a mini-series and air it over the course of one week as the network's Halloween special for 2014. Taking strong influence from classic cartoons dating back to 1923's "Alice's Wonderland" Over The Garden Wall balances quirky comedy and musical tie-ins common in modern cartoons with some very dark themes and eerie imagery. Multiple meanings are also inherent to the story, leading a second or third watching of it to be just as entertaining and thought-provoking as the first. The final episodes even reveal perspective-changing details to the audience that ensure they will never look at the previous episodes the same way again. Over the Garden Wall is available now through Hulu+ and syndicated on Cartoon Network.

The show I chose is called Oddities. It premiered on the Discovery Channel and played on it's sister channel, The Science Channel. I however, found it while binging on netflix; so it's both a subscription-paid show as well as a advertiser-based network. The executive producers are David George and Brent Montgomery and the show aired in November of 2010

Oddities is a show that follows two Manhattan shop owners named Evan and Mike. The shop is called Obscura if that gives you an idea of what they sell. Evan and Mike, along with their buyer Ryan, go all around the city looking for the most odd keep sakes and nick-naks. On one episode you may see a fossilized cat and in another you may see an embalming machine from the old days. You can watch this show forhours because it never get's boring. You never know what Evan and Mike will find next. Along the way they give you a brief history lesson on whatever their dealing with. It's a way to learn about some things you may have never thought about.

I felt this clip was a perfect example on how it's more than just another pawn shop show, it's obscure.

Vazquez, Nestor (TTh) Documentary Now 100

Documentary Now! is an American mockumentary series that parodies the styles of many popular documentaries, poking fun at certain styles. You can see them realistically spoofing VICE documentaries in an episode about a fictitious drug lord. Each episode is a different parody, containing different gags and hilarious mockery.

Hays, Natalie (MW) Steven Universe 100

The reason why I picked Steven Universe is because it's an incredibly progressive children's show that deals with some heavy issues in a light hearted manner. With a cast that is comprised mostly of women, Steven Universe focuses on self love, acceptance, and fighting for what you should believe. The Crystal Gems protect earth while trying to teach Steven Universe, the half human half crystal gem child, how to be who he is.The executive producer is Rebecca Sugar, with Ian Jones-Quartley joining her as a co-exective producer on season two. The is produced by Cartoon Network Studios, which is owned by the broadcasting network Time Warner. Therefor the show is being paid for by a broadcasting network.

Rath, Mary (TTh) Mr. Robot 100

Mr. Robot follows the story of Elliot, an antisocial hacker-turned-cyber-vigellante who's recruited by a mysterious anarchist known only as "Mr. Robot". Together with a ragtag group of other misfit "hactivists", Elliot and Mr. Robot plot a heist to break into a high security data facility and take down one of the world's largest corporations, E Corp.

This drama-thriller's unique take on the hacker genre focuses on exploring its characters just as much as it strives to portray the gritty, technical hardwiring that goes into the underground world of hacking. Ever since its premier in June of 2015, "Mr. Robot" has been earning rave reviews from critics and audiences alike, with an overall rating of 9.1 on IMDb.com and a score of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The first season will be centered on a series of murders involving the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority.

Bermea, Gabriel (TTh) Danger 5 100

Danger 5 is one of the most ridiculous shows I've seen. It is an Australian comedy series that takes place during World War II, but it is also a spoof of the 60's spy/action genre. The premise for each episode has the same basic plot, a group of Allied spies, Danger 5, try to stop Hitler from taking over the world. On their missions, the team encounter many unique enemies such as Japanese robot pilots, bullet proof soldiers made of diamond, and Nazi dinosaurs. The second season was released earlier this year, and the producers haven't said anything about continuing the series.

It stars Cillian Murphy as a gangster operating in Birmingham, England in the early 1900s and shortly after World War I has ended. Tom Hardy stars in the second series as well.

Each character is quite dynamic making this a very entertaining and quality series.

Ward, Chakadra (TTh) Rookie Blue 100

I want to talk about Rookie Blue for my presentation. Rookie Blue is a Canadian police drama television series about 5 rookie cops; it shows how their lives have changed during their first years on the job. Each rookie is assigned a training officer, and they all have to deal with life on and off the job. There are 5 complete seasons, and they are currently airing the sixth one in the US on ABC. I watched all 5 seasons in 4 days. I was completely blown away by each episode. It is one of my favorite shows because it has a little bit of everything: drama, romance, comedy, action, and suspense. It is not your normal "cop" television show. It is one of the best. It was created by Tassie Cameron, Morwyn Brebner, and Ellen Vanstone. It stars Missy Peregrym, Gregory Smith, Ben Bass, Matt Gordon, and many other phenomenal actors and actresses. They have covered so much of real life events on the show that are actually happening today. For example, in one episode one of the rookies shot a kid at a convenience store in self defense. No one believed it was self defense, and he was very close to being charged with murder. I've heard about cases similar to this one, and it was hard to imagine what police officers have to go through on a daily basis until I watched that particular episode. It is a show that will definitely open the viewer's eyes.

Perez, Matthew (TTh) Ballers 10

Ballers is a HBO orginal series that is created by Stephen Levinson, which is the same person that also created the hit HBO tv series shows Entourage and Boardwalk Empire. The main character Spencer Strasmore, played by "The Rock Dwayne Johnson," is a ex NFL football player that is trying to seek the same success in his post career by tackling the job of a financial manager for current players in the league. The show is raw, uncut, and gives a insight to what maybe really goes on in football players lives on and off the field. The series also is excutive produced by a number of people including Dwayne Johnson, Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, Dany Garcia, Evan Reilly, and Rob Weis. I really recommend this show because it's a comedy that is also infused with enough drama surrounding the supporting characters that keeps bringing viewers back in. If you haven't seen Ballers, it can be accessed on HBO or HBO on demand.

Laughlin, Nicholas (MW) Thank You and Sorry 100

Thank You and Sorry is a new docu-series that follows Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff. The series is an original to Google Play, and features real events from tour life, and well as made up situations. Guest stars include girlfriend and Girls show runner Lena Dunham, Colin Quinn, and Olivia Wilde. Each episode focuses on a city from Bleachers tour and song from their album Strange Desire. We learn the inspiration for certain songs from the album and what it means to Antonoff. The web series has been nominated for a Streamy Award, and Antonoff plans to do this with every album Bleachers produces.

I think this series is a very different and interesting show. There is nothing else that is like it currently on television or any other streaming service. I think it could be an interesting way for artists to reach out to fans.

Rogers, Taylor (MW) UnREAL 100

The show UnREAL is a scripted TV series about a behind-the-scenes look at the chaos surrounding the production of a dating competition program.
So think of the show the bachelor, but everything that goes on behind the cameras. The dramas, the cat fights, producers, directors and what extent they go to-to make an incredible show with high ratings. I find this show so interesting and intriguing because I have a passion for production and putting on a show so I really took a liking to this!

Here is the trailer from season 1.
