Garza, Kasandra (MW) Behind Bars: Rookie Year 100

This show is about Rookie Correctional officers in a New Mexico prison, one of the toughest in the nation. It follows rookie year correctional officers and how they handle criminals, or learn to handle them.
The officers are taught to defend themselves and where to look for weapons (it is kind of gross.) You will also see who lasts at the job and who doesn't. Season one just came out and you can still find episodes on A&E. the executive producer is John Hirsch of Lucky8 t.v. They are an unscripted television production company. They also produce "Lockdown" on NatGeo which basically follows the lives of people in prison.

There are a few full-length episodes on YouTube, but the best way to access the show is to sign up with your cable provider on A&E's website.

Lopez, Kenya (MW) Narcos 100

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."

Johnson, Michela (MW) Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl 100

The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, also known as Awkward Black Girl, is a web series following the fictitious life of the main character, J. J describes herself as being awkward and black, "the two worst things that you can be." She hates her job, struggles to handle her love life, and can't seem to approach uncomfortable social situations like a normal person. In order to cope with her awkwardness, J likes to write humorous and violent rap lyrics.

This show is definitely one that most of us can relate to. After all, at what point when walking down a long hallway do you say hi to a stranger? There is no guide to these things.

Lerma, Eduardo (TTH) The 100 100

The 100 is a Sci-Fi TV series on the CW network that has a spin off towards the survival of humanity. The plot of the series begins with a space station named "The Ark" which is the place where the remainder of the human species lives. In this "ark" there is a prison of 100 people; these 100 are all criminals that have committed a crime against any sort of authority. 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. The people have landed and drama has already begun.

Pilkington has no desire to travel since he's lived such a sheltered lifestyle, but he's forced to do so by lifelong friends/Executive Producers, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.

This show gives you a raw look inside the lives of people around the world and the different cultures that Americans may not know about. An Idiot Abroad is funny and informative, you learn and laugh throughout the series.

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.

Blackburn, Carlie (MW) Kingin with Tyga 100

Kingin with Tyga is a show that follows the life of the Rapper "Tyga" and shows how he spends his days. It blows my mind to watch this show and see all the crazy things that he buys. Tyga, is Kylie Jenners boyfriend so on the season finale it shows her in there before he goes on Tour with Chris brown. I was interested in this show but after watching the season it is almost as bad as Keeping up with the Kardashians.

Bonds, Nickolie (MW) Oddities 100

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.

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.

On their missions, the team encounter many unique enemies such as Japanese robot pilots, bullet proof soldiers made of diamond, and Nazi dinosaurs.

Reel, Julianna (TTH) Coast to Coast AM 10

A media phenomenon, Coast to Coast AM deals with UFOs, strange occurrences, life after death, and other unexplained (and often inexplicable) phenomena.

Peaky Blinders is British historical crime drama television series that first aired on BBC Two. 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. Peaky Blinders was created and written by Steven Knight and has a number of directors. I'm a huge fan of this series due to the historical accuracy and the grittiness each episode. 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.

Garcia, Monica (MW) Broken Skull Challenge 100

The show I am wanting to do is the Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge. It first aired in July 2014 and he gathers people who have done CrossFit, Martial Arts, etc. I really think my classmates will find interest in this show because its not really a show that leaves you hanging. You find out who the winner is at the end of the show and that winner goes up against the previous weeks winner. If they beat the previous weeks winner they will hold the title until someone knocks them off.

I feel like show is important to programming because it will count as the first of the ordered network series, and the series that follow will lead to more films depending on success on Netflix. 13 episodes will be released when the show airs instead of the serialized format, and it will also be available in Ultra HD 4K.

Frazee, Mary Raven (MW) Serial Podcast 100

Serial is a podcast that I found on iTunes. It's is about a murder case that occurred 15 years ago and sent a 17 year old young man to prison for murder on very little evidence. The reporter takes you through what happened the day of the murder; what happened through out the trial; concurrent interviews with the prisoner himself along with other classmates of the individuals involved. It currently has one season with 12 episodes ranging from 32 minutes to 67 minutes and a second season will soon follow. The podcast is supported by WBEZ a Chicago radio station and audible.com. This is a very interesting and suspenseful series that teaches a person about the holes in the justice system here in America, how culture is relevant when formulating opinions, and how addicting entertainment is not limited to filmography.

Gale, Lauren (MW) The Legend of Mick Dodge 100

The Legend of Mick Dodge is on National Geographic Tuesdays 9/8c. It follows a man that lives in the forest in Washington state. He lives almost completely off the land, unless it is utterly necessary. He is quite a character to watch. There are also other people who live in the forest who he interacts with. His favorite thing to do around city people is dress up and act like Big Foot to scare them. In my opinion he looks like Harry, from Harry & the Hendersons!
