Peters Andrew (TTH) Dino Riders

Dino Riders is, by far, the single most amazing show the world could have ever hoped for. If dinosaurs, time-travel, and evil aliens don't grasp you then I worry about what you consider to be awesome!

Alright to be serious about this submission I really think this show is a hidden gem for old TV series. This is a show that was made in the 1980's and followed a similar to crowd to that of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Now this is a show that is supposed to fill the slot that Keeping Up with the Kardashians used to take, and I can assure you that this prehistoric drama is full of everything that Keeping Up with the Kardashians wishes it could be. Dino Riders is full of conflict, backstabbing, and vicious alien warmongers.

Background Information: Friends With Benefits is a show that aired in 2011 on ABC about two friends hooking up while trying to find love in the dating world.

Their friends have mixed emotions about this but through this drama true feelings are uncovered, that is until the show was discontinued after 12 episodes. Will Ben and Sara ever admit they have feelings for each other? Guess we'll never find out. The executive producer Brian Grazer did a great job of incorporating comedy into this series. I'm really surprised it didn't take off considering how hilarious it is. Each character is relatable in their own way and easily identifiable no matter where you are in life.

Stephens, Bae (MW) Terriers

Terriers is about an ex-cop and his best friend that are engaged in an unlicensed private investigation business. The series shows some of the crazy adventures they go one and they stuff they'll put themselves through just for money. The show also portrays their personal lives. The ex-cop (Hank Dalworth) is divorced and a recovering alcohol. His best friend (Britt Pollack) lives with his girl friend and used to be a criminal. Terriers is shown on FX, but can also be found on Netflix. There is currently only one season out. The show was created by Ted Griffin, and stars Donal Logue, Michael Raymond-James, and Laura Allen. 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.

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.

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 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. The programming wasn't just to target the Spanish speaking audiences, but to any viewer who enjoys a comedy series.

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.

Rodriguez, Michael (TTh) Wilfred

The only thing is that Ryan sees a man in a dog suit, while everyone else sees the dog just as a normal dog—Wilfred. Wilfred puts Ryan in some difficult situations with the purpose of forcing Ryan to not take life to seriously. Each episode starts off with a quote that is related to the plot of the respective episode, in order to give the viewer some sort of direction of where the episode will take them. The show is four seasons long, with roughly 13 episodes each running about 30 minutes long, and the final episode aired on August 13th, 2014; however, all four seasons can be seen on Netflix.

Thomison, Isaac (TTh) Haters Back Off

Haters Back Off is a Netflix-original comedy series, starring Executive Producer Colleen Ballinger as the lead character "Miranda Sings." The show is based off of Ballinger's very successful character "Miranda Sings" from her YouTube channel, that has amassed millions of subscribers. The story centers around the day to day life of Miranda, an overly confident, self-absorbed, sheltered, and untalented young "performer." Each episode focuses on her road to fame, as well as the crazy adventures that she goes on with her weird uncle, timid mother, and overly responsible sister. Miranda also learns that there is a price to pay along the way for not caring about the feelings of others. I believe that this show is worth the watch due to the simple fact that it is hilarious. The amount of insane things that Miranda and her uncle execute just in order for Miranda to become famous is ridiculous, and that doesn't even include the rest of the stellar cast with their own sets of personal issues. It's good programming because they knew who their target audience was (young people--primarily millennials who watch Ballinger's YouTube channels), and they knew how to reach them (many younger viewers primarily use subscription based services such as Netflix or Hulu).
