My Favorite TV Shows

My Favorite TV shows

        1). Legends of Tomorrow- this scifi show features several superheroes traveling 
     through time and fighting villains along the way. It is one of the CW shows that I 
     can tolerate. 

      2). Bob's Burgers- this animated sitcom features the Belcher family running their
     burger diner along with their precocious kids (Tina, Louise and Gene). 
  
      3). South Park- This show is about the residents of the town and 4 bratty kids. 
     Despite this show having lost its charm since it debuted in the 90's, it still has 
     biting social commentary.

      4). AEW Dynamite- Looking for an alternative to WWE? look no further than 
    AEW. This wrestling show on TNT features many popular wrestlers who have
    made names for themselves on social media as well as the indies. My favorite
    wrestlers are Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin.

     5). Robot Chicken- Stop motion skit show on Adult Swim.

Annoying TV Commercials

Annoying TV Commercials


         We've seen them all. You're sitting watching your favorite program when it goes
   to break. Some are good while some are bad. Here a few of the ones that I hate the 
   most. 


     This ad features two dorks sitting in a car about how much they love the food they're
  eating. While it's cheaper to run ads nationally, it doesn't help the fact that the nearest
  Sonic is in the next county, two hours away. 


    This ad features a cheery woman singing while some McD's employees deliver 
  coffee to migrant workers on a farm and to some firemen. I can't stand her irritating
  voice. 

  3. Kars for Kids 
     Do I need to explain this one ? 


    This ad features a pretentious hipster from Chevy talking to kids about how great
 their cars are and how wifi is necessary for them to watch movies. When I used to go 
 on car trips as a kid, all I ever did was read comic books and listen to my tape player. 
 Kids today have it so good when it comes to keeping them busy. Although Chevy 
 says they're real kids, it's just downright exploitative. 

  5. Honeynut Cheerios Dancing (recorded off tv)

   This one depicts dads dancing to generic music with their kids for no reason. What 
 does dancing with your kids have to do with eating cereal? I'm not trying diss this 
 commercial but it doesn't many any sense at all. 


   This annoying commercial features hard working people singing about whether or not 
 they should buy a hybrid car due to the connotation it has.  

 7. Amazon Alexa 
  
    These ads feature off camera people asking the tiny device questions. I hate this
   commercial because it encourages people to be lazy and not bothering to take 
   the time to look it up yourself. You gain absolutely nothing from it.

Childhood TV Shows

                                                                        G.I. Joe 



     Everyday, when I'd come home from school, I'd turn on the TV and watch cartoons all day. 
  My favorites were: GI JOE, Thundercats, MASK, Transformers, He-Man: MotU &
  Voltron: Defender of the Universe.
    On Saturday mornings, I used to love watch Pee Wee's Playhouse on CBS then 
 baseball would start. 
    My favorite live action shows were mostly on Nickelodeon. They were: 
    You Can't Do that on Television, Mr Wizard's World & Double Dare. 
    My brother used to tape WWF Saturday Night's Main Event for me as a kid 
because it aired well after my bedtime. I couldn't wait to see who won.
    My favorite educational shows on PBS were "Reading Rainbow" & "Square One
TV". It taught me that reading is important and helped me learn my math.
     As I grew up as a teen in the 90's, my taste in shows changed as well. I began watching 
less kiddie shows and more mature fare. I used to watch: 
    Dead at 21, MacGuyver, Cops & Married with Children. 
    The cartoons I used to watch were: Ren & stimpy, X-Men (Sat. morning), Rocko's 
Modern Life, Beavis & Butthead, Dexter's Lab & Johnny Bravo.

TV Shows that I Can't Stand

  In the world of tv, there's a mixture of good tv and utter filth. I made a list of shows
I absolutely cannot stand. 

  1. TMZ Live- I hate the tabloid nature of the program. They lack credibility in the 
arena of journalism, providing nothing but yellow journalism. It is nothing but filler.

 2. Any procedural shows on the major networks
  
 3. The Bachelor- Totally fake to the point of "scripted". The producers edit the footage
to make it look like there's drama between the suitors. Most of the those people that 
appear are just aspiring actors/ models. 

 4. The Talk- CBS answer to "The View". This show has 5 ladies who gossip among
  each other and put men down when possible. Their host, Julie Chen is phony as
  she reads from a teleprompter.
