Gonzalez, Jonathan (TTh) F is for Family 100

In "F is for Family, viewers follow the lives of the Murphy family in an animated sitcom placed during the 1970's. A big part about the show uses a nostalgia factor to appeal to older audiences that are old enough to remember the time period, and appreciate the satirical look at the 70's the show's creators are going for. Even viewers that aren't old enough to remember the 70's will be able to enjoy the raunchy, ridiculous comedy of the show that tends to follow something close to what animated shows like Family Guy and American Dad go for. It's thanks to a partnership between Netflix, Gaumont International Television, and Wild West Television that the show's creation came about. The show's executive producers include Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsley, and Bill Burr, who's standup comedy provided the the basis for much of the show's material. Burr's idea for the show, in his own words, revolved around going back to a "time when you could smack your kid, smoke inside, and bring a gun to an airport." The show's available to anyone subscribed to Netflix, the online streaming service.

Burrell, Morgan (MW) Brain Games 100

Optical illusion, deception, and trickery are what make the series Brain Games different from other traditional television shows. Unlike most shows, Brain Games has a goal which is to teach the viewer about the human mind through different techniques. Throughout all 7 seasons Brain Games remains interactive and calls upon watchers to follow certain instructions during a demonstration. Normally the outcome of the demonstration is something surprising or interesting that the show continues to explain throughout the episode. Those who watch have the opportunity to learn while being entertained with unfamiliar topics. (a) While initially a consulting producer, Jerry Kolber currently holds the title of executive producer for this Emmy-nominated program. (b) Brain Games began on the advertised-based cable TV program National Geographic, but it can also be found on both the subscriber-based websites Amazon video, and Netflix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reVq-RPaHLI&list=PLCv6T8QWRwjn8jVZWps93zeVw2pV-_QAX

Neely, Trevor (MW) The Boondocks 100

The Boondocks is an American television program based off a comic strip and created by Aaron McGruder. The comic strip gained much traction and was syndicated to make its debut in newspapers in 1999. Development of a TV series also began at this time and after a few mishaps of being called too "networky", McGruder began to tell stories in the series. The Boondocks is a fictional story about a black family, the Freemans, who have settled in a mostly white suburban neighborhood of Woodcrest, Illinois. The main characters are Huey and Riley, two boys who live with their granddad. Huey is more of the level headed character with a revolutionary spirit. Riley, on the other hand, is more of the loud-mouthed character with a short fuse. They are two preteen boys who must face many obstacles in their daily lives that often get them into deep trouble with the people of Woodcrest. It is worth the view if one is looking for a show that offers a perspective that mixes cultures, social classes, racial identities and stereotypes to provide for a very satirical portrayal of comedy and conflict. A.) The executive producers of this show is Aaron McGruder, Reginald Hudlin, Rodney Barnes, Brian J. Cowan, and Carl Jones. B.) The show has been distributed through Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and is currently available to stream on Netflix and Amazon Video.

"Love" is a romantic comedy that portrays the dating world from a practical point of view from both male and female perspectives by building character development between the stars Mickey and Gus. Mickey, the female lead, is the rebellious one, while Gus is the kind-hearted type. The two contrast in a perfectly awkward way.

Munoz, Vianey (TTh) Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse 100

Barbie Life in the dreamhouse is a tv series about barbie and her friends. The show is set up to be a mock reality tv show. it features character "interviews" throught the episode that let the character explain the situations of the show in their own way. Though this show is targeted towards a very young audience, i think that it can be an enjoyable experience for adults too. The humor that this show displays is very immature and childish but that is what makes it funny. While watching it i found myself judging its stupidity so harshly that it became an enjoyable experience. Theres not much to learn from this show but its a very good passtime (a) executive producers include stephen gallop, rob hudnut, and kallan kagan. (b) Barbie life in the dreamhoue can be found on Netflix, Barbie.com, and youtube. it is produced by arc productions an distributed by mattel.

Cota, LeeAnn (MW) Weediquette 100

Weediquette started out as a web serier on the VICE Youtube channel but soon became a full running TV series. Vice correspondent, Krishna Andavolu hosts the show and is able to put a different perspective on the world of cannabis. He travels all around the US and even parts out of the country to show viewers the various effects cannabis can cause. I believe this show is capable of reaching a bigger audience, although it may seem like a niche series. I think it can help viewers further understand the negative and positive issues/situations that pertain to cannabis use in the US. It is not just a show about a bunch of stoners and potheads. It exceeds beyond that and will undoubtedly teach you more than just about the commercialized recreational use of cannabis. (a) Executive producers of the show include Jordan Roberts, Shane Smith, Eddy Moretti, and Spike Jonze. (b) Weediquette airs on VICELAND, which is a channel owned and programmed by VICE media. The U.S. TV channel is owned mainly by A&E Networks and can be seen through either through the Dish Netowrk or DirecTV which are direct-broadcast satellite service providers.

He deals with some heavy issues; a mentally ill mother, the drug game, and finding "love" for the first time. This is an entertaining drama with, interesting camera shots and an interesting plot.

The show is shot in entirely first person point of view and the executive producers are Andrew O' Connor, Jesse Armstrong, and Sam Bain. The type of comedy is the best-worst kind of awkward, and the longer the awkwardness sits the better. I challenge anyone to find an episode with a happy ending.

Martin, Logan (MW) Better Call Saul 10

From the moment I saw you I was convinced you had a Walter White look going! Obviously not a bald head but you remind me of the Scar Face chemistry teacher from perhaps the greatest television show ever, Breaking Bad. If you claim to be as much of a tv fan as you say you are, then I can't imagine you haven't at least heard of this outstanding prequel series if not watched every episode so far. Bob Odenkirk is amazing as Saul Goodman and the series is much like the award winning series by Director Vince Gilligan. If you loved breaking bad, there's no reason this show wouldn't get your goose pimples going again when an underdog lawyer becomes a criminal mastermind, within the confines of "the law."

Myers, Aaliyah (TTh) A Series of Unfortunate Events 100

A Series of Unfortunate Events is a book series about three orphans who lose their parents in a mysterious house fire, and shuffle around homes of family members,. All the while, Count Olaf (a greedy, evil man) ruins their stays there so that the children can come live with him by default so he can steal the money their parents left for them. Which then poses the question to the children of whether or not their parents' death was an accident or if they were murdered. Daniel Handler is the author of the novels the show is based on, and he is also the executive producer, along with Barry Sonnenfeld, who produced the movie back in 2004.

This is a Netflix Original Series, so it will be solely on Netflix and not on cable or television. A consumer interested in watching this series would have to have a Netflix subscription. Because it is set to release in Fall of 2016, I am using different articles, one being https://pr.netflix.com/WebClient/loginPageSalesNetWorksAction.do?contentGroupId=10571, which shows the release date as confirmed by Netflix. There is a trailer that is circling the web, but Netflix is saying they didn't release it, although it looks pretty real. And, because of the superior quality and the Netflix logo at the end, fans are saying that Netflix did in fact make the trailer. In one article, the author wrote "the trailer was uploaded to a mysterious YouTube account owned by 'Eleanora Poe.'<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQB3hLQqvryPWQXPn5R7PQ> Fans of the book series will recognize the name as the sister of Mr. Arthur Poe (the banker in charge of the Baudelaire orphans), and also the editor-in-chief of 'The Daily Punctilio' who was ultimately locked in the basement of her newspaper thanks to her star reporter and Esmé Sqaulor."

Limetown is a scripted, radio play-style podcast that premiered in 2015 and was created by Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie. Akers and Bronkie self-financed the first season of Limetown with the intention of using the series as a "calling card" for their new production company, Two Up Productions.

Ten years ago, the entire population of 300 people vanished literally overnight. A public radio reporter named Lia Haddock (played by actress Annie Sage-Whitehurst) begins an investigation in order to unravel the mystery of what happened in Limetown. While the show falls into the realm of science fiction, it has genuinely terrifying moments that rival any recent horror film or television show. The first season concluded in December, 2015, and includes 6 full length episodes plus a handful of teaser episodes. They are available for free via iTunes, YouTube and the show's website www.limetownstories.com<http://www.limetownstories.com> .

DeMoore, Paige (MW) Hollywood Medium 100

The show Hollywood Medium premiered Sunday January 24, 2016. The star Tyler Henry is a medium that connects celebrities with loved ones that have passed away. I walked by my tv when the show was first beginning and was immediately drawn to it. Whether you believe in mediums or not, it's fascinating to see how much this 19 year old is able to connect to people that he has never known or even heard of.

Cohetero, Nathalie (MW) Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared 100

This is a British series of shorts created by Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling. It became popular after getting a lot of tracking from film festivals. Each episode is made to seem like a typical children's TV show, consisting of singing and talking puppets, but eventually takes a dark twist. The series is open for interpretation but most see it as a satire on how media influences, and sometimes, controls vulnerable age groups. Subjects such as creativity, love, technology, and nutrition have been addressed with surreal humor that makes one question what exactly they are watching. It's fascinating to watch how the show's story and characters progress each episode, questioning norms and reality.

Pearce, Sarah (M/W) The Inbetweeners 100

"See Just How Awkward Highschool Can Be. What's on the mind of the average teenage boy? College, jobs, marriage - that whole bright and exciting future thing? Or the quest for more immediately pleasurable grown up stuff like beer and sex? For Will, Simon, Jay and Neil, it's the quest, and unfortunately for them, it's usually unsuccessful. Marooned in suburbia, The Inbetweeners is a cringe-inducing look at the humiliations of teenage life as four friends navigate the minefield of high school education with their hormones at full blast."

Omesiete, Osita (MW) Skins 100

Skins is about British teenagers growing up in the UK trying to find themselves in the world. It's not like your typical coming of age American base sitcom or teen drama most are familiar with. There's hardly any adult supervision leaving possibilities for shenanigans endless. Yes it is riddled with lots of sex, lots of drugs and an extreme amount of partying, but with a spin that makes you glad you don't live there lives, however you can't take your eyes off it. I was aware of the show when it was first release so its quite interesting seeing all the young actors then compared to the major blockbuster films they are in now. All 7 seasons are available on Netflix with some full episodes on youtube.
