Schaffer, Loren (TTh) Comedy Bang! Bang! 100
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.

Zirbes, Rebekka (TTh) Disjointed 100
Begin Disjointed is a series on Netflix that I had recently got into.
The main character Ruth opens and runs a marijuana dispensary to turn
it into the "Walmart of marijuana" and preaches to her friends that it's
a relaxer ( for them to "chill-out" ). It is a very funny tv show to
binge watch. The family of Ruth have very different personalities which
makes it even better to watch.

brothers Jay and Mark Duplass. The thirty minute episodes are released
every Friday night at 10:30 since July 28, 2017. "Room 104" is an
anthology series meaning each episode has its own unique characters and
story line. The episodes play out various nights in Hotel Room 104
leading to some very interesting guests and events. They range in

is something very intriguing about a TV series with a different story
each episode because you never know what you are going to get. The
creative writers and producers at HBO are not afraid to make a twist
ending so although you may have an idea of the ending, you can never
know for sure until it happens!

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.
