Comedy Bang! Bang! is a television series created and hosted by Scott Aukerman. The show aired weekly on IFC and Much and is a spin-off of Aukerman's podcast Comedy Bang! Bang! , which airs on the Earwolf network. Like the podcast, the series features outlandish and farcical humor, often delivered in a deadpan manner. The mock talk show derives most of its comedy from its surreal spoofs of common late night tropes as well as from the characters' own cartoonish inability to conduct said talk show.

Johnson, Jada (TTh) Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood 100
"In order for something to be obtained, something of equal value must be lost."
Alchemy is bound by this Law of Equivalent Exchange—something the young brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric only realize after attempting human transmutation: the one forbidden act of alchemy. They pay a terrible price for their transgression—Edward loses his left leg, Alphonse his physical body. It is only by the desperate sacrifice of Edward's right arm that he is able to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. Devastated and alone, it is the hope that they would both eventually return to their original bodies that gives Edward the inspiration to obtain metal limbs called "automail" and become a state alchemist, the Fullmetal Alchemist.
Three years of searching later, the brothers seek the Philosopher's Stone, a mythical relic that allows an alchemist to overcome the Law of Equivalent Exchange. Even with military allies Colonel Roy Mustang, Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye, and Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes on their side, the brothers find themselves caught up in a nationwide conspiracy that leads them not only to the true nature of the elusive Philosopher's Stone, but their country's murky history as well. In between finding a serial killer and racing against time, Edward and Alphonse must ask themselves if what they are doing will make them human again... or take away their humanity.

I think this show is worth watching because it shows an interesting perspective of a group of "detectives" that aren't exactly the most fit people for the job. They don't go about things in the most professional manner, and it presents a new twist to your typical cop show.

Davis, Friedman (TTh) Lucifer
Tom Ellis plays Lucifer Morningstar, most formally known as the devil. He is bored and unhappy reigning over the pits of hell, and decides that it is time for hime to retire the throne and make way for Los Angeles. It is there he meets a police detective named Chloe Decker (Lauren German) and uses his supernatural ability to influence people and assist her on cases This show embodies the spirit of LA very well. Each episode is usually about a new case while still following along and developing a good story for its main characters. If you like mystery and comedy combined, then I highly suggest you check this show out. I would find myself deep into the story trying to figure out who the killer or culprit is, meanwhile Lucifer is doing a great job in providing comic relief.
There are two main stars of the show, Tom Ellis and Lauren German, but there are also two main co-stars. The first being Lucifers follower Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt) Lucifer being the devil is basically her master, she must obey him no matter cost, yet by being on earth it is starting to change her and allow her to have free will. The second co- star is Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) who plays an angel and Lucifers brother. By including an actual figure from the bible, it allows the show to go more in depth than just police detective cases. It makes for interesting thoughts about God and the Devil as well.
There are is a long list of executive producers, Tom Kapinos (pilot)
Ildy Modrovich
Len Wiseman
Jonathan Littman
Jerry Bruckheimer
Joe Henderson
but the show was created and developed by Tom Kapinos, who has a major say in what goes on. The show is on a break right now but will begin airing season 3 on FOX Network (Channel 6 for most people) at 9:00/8:00 Central time.

Garza, Atkyn (TTh) Raising Hope
Background Information: Raising Hope is a 20th Century Fox television series that shows the life of Jimmy Chance, who becomes a single parent to an infant after the biological mother he had an one-night stand with ends up on death row. Jimmy must welcome this infant to his dysfunctional family which includes his mother, father and grandma. The Executive Producer of Raising Hope is Greg Garcia, he has produced several other long-running sitcoms such as "Yes, Dear" and "My Name Is Earl." I would say this show is a hidden gem when it comes to being a comedy, its hilarious. The shows' characters are simple and very relatable when it comes to family life and how you were raised. The distributor of this comedy is 20th Century Fox, but can now be mainly displayed on Netflix.

Herrera, Daniel (MW) Erased
Erased is a psychological, time-traveling thriller produced by A-1 Pictures and Aniplex. Atsuhiro Iwakami and Kiyoko Matsuzaki are chief producers on the show. Erased is about a man, Satoru, who, at seemingly random times, is reverted back in time a few moments in order to prevent a tragedy from occurring. This plays into the fact that he constantly dwells and feels guilty about a specific instance in his childhood when three of his classmates were murdered, and feels as though he could have made a difference if he just reached out to one of them. After a particularly traumatic experience (no spoilers), his power takes him back to his childhood and with the knowledge of the future, plans how he is going to save the lives of his classmates. I find this series, specifically as an anime, to be refreshing because it doesn't over-emphasize nor over-explain Satoru's time-traveling ability. It simply uses it as a storytelling mechanic to amazing effect.

Martinez, Iliana (MW) American Dad
American dad is a cartoon series created by Seth Macfarlane. Macfarlane is also the show's executive producer. The show plays on the format of family guy but has some major differences. The family setup is almost as eccentric as those on Spooner St, but the show is not the same. When Family Guy began their jokes were mostly fart humor with some clever cut always. While American Dad has always had a much darker sense of humor. The slight underhanded jokes that the alien character, Roger, throws out are very intellectual. Roger might reference a little known poet and joke about prostitutes all under the same breath. And my final argument against any that dare say American Dad is less than Family Guy is that Werner Herzog actually directed an episode! The amazingly talented directed who brought us Fitzcarraldo directed a whole episode of this supposedly inferior show.

James Delaney is in hopes of running his father's shipping company now that he is home, but this won't be easy considering the War of 1812 is just coming to an end.

French, Rachel (TTH) This Is Us
This Is Us is a new series that just finished its first season and is being renewed for two more. The show stars actress Mandy Moore as the mom of triplets married to a business man aspiring to open his own home building company. The show goes back and forth from the triplets current lives in 2017, at age 36, to when they were kids. The point is to show what makes them the way they are. The show is a extreme tear jerker that hits every emotion in all the right ways. The show connects with mothers, people struggling with their weight, people who feel abandoned by loved ones, and how unique every family is. The show has something for everyone no matter who you are.

Burks, Alaiya (TTh) Insecure.
Insecure is a one of HBO's newest hit shows.It stars Issa Rae who is known for her YouTube series Awkward Black Girl. One of my favorite parts of this show is that it gives representation to woman of color. In addition, Insecure doesn't feed into the stereotypes that many shows have when portraying women of color. I absolutely love this show and I believe it is one of HBO's most diverse sitcoms so far.

The show is based off when the patriarch of a prominent family dies, his/heirs battle to determine who will gain control of his beloved soccer team: The Cuervos of Nuevo Toledo. This show is a great way to try to branch off towards a different type of entertainment, especially the Spanish language which they do include subtitles for you.

Parks, Michael (MW) Marvel's Luke Cage
Luke Cage, is a Netflix-original series by Cheo Coker, based on the Marvel Comic character Luke Cage. It is set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with Marvel movies and is the third in a line up of shows that will lead up to 'The Defenders' crossover miniseries. Mike Colter stars as Luke Cage, a former convict with superhuman strength and unbreakable skin who now fights crime. Mahershala Ali, Simone Missick, Theo Rossi, Erik LaRay, Rosario Dawson, Alfre Woodard in season one. Colter was cast as Cage, to appear in Jessica Jones first. The story is about Luke Cage trying to rebuild his life in Harlem and must soon confront his past and fight for his city. I believe it's worth watching because it has a lot of hidden messages that relate to the world we live in today. Luke Cage is the first comicbook show to star a Black hero, which I think is important because representation matters. Overall the series is great and is one of Netflix's best original shows.
