The Last Binge Bender
It is quite difficult to find quality shows that I really enjoy, so anytime I find one, I kind of get a little too obsessed. I am very critical about what I watch, and these days I do not like to consume my limited spare time with mediocre or typical content. Regardless of the series, because of my educational background in film, I tend to lean toward more witty, unpredictable, and satirical filled content. I also love work that contains several relative messages that shift my thinking or perspective in a positive way. The acting also has to be dynamic and convincing to intrigue me. With that being said, let's take a look at one of the animated series I am a little too obsessed with.

JAILHOUSE BLUES
Modern TV shows have proved to be partial toward yardbirds of the American justice system. A good majority of series blatantly portray the grave injustices suffered by federal or community offenders who get railroaded, either by their own making or by emerging winners in the wrong place, wrong time lotto. Some even being set-up and infringed upon by the so-called "Justice System."

When Trash Becomes Everyone’s Treasure
My older sister is responsible for exposing me to a lot of things as a young boy. Many musical artists that I listened to as a prepubescent were first introduced to me by my sister. Another thing my sister introduced me to was reality TV. My younger self prided himself on hating things just because other people (namely people didn’t care for me) liked. Jersey Shore, the first reality TV show I’ve watched, was no different. Now, just because some people loved watching this show didn’t mean it didn’t have its problems. Quite the contrary, this show was one of the most controversial of all time.

Murder, She Wrote
Binge-worthy obsessions are my go to for any show that I watch. Normally I can finish an entire season in one sitting on a rainy Saturday afternoon. This is perfect for my schedule because I don’t have a lot of free time to enjoy these things normally. Then came covid quarantine! My husband and I have probably watched more tv shows of all genres and styles throughout the quarantine just to keep our sanity. But what do you watch when you feel like you have watched it all?

Ted Lassoed My Heart (And I Don't Care Who Knows It)
The Super Bowl is coming up. Want to know how I know? My book club is choosing a date for our next meeting, and the organizer mentioned that we can't meet on February 7th because that is the day of the Super Bowl. My first thought was, 'wait, the Super Bowl is still a thing?' closely followed by my admission that, of course, it’s still a thing. Lots of people love sports and sports games. In case I'm not making it clear, I am not one of those people.

Something Borrowed and New
Perfectly shaped snowflakes are dancing through the mid-winter air softly caressing your perfectly shaped and rosed cheeks. Your elegantly tailored, blush embroidered dress trailing behind you. Something borrowed. Something blue. Something new. Followed shortly by an, "I do."

My Hero Academia
A specific “guilty-pleasure binge” would not describe my relationship with my favorite television shows. First of all, my personal relationship with TV has changed drastically since the Coronavirus pandemic began. I think a lot of us can remember a time when there was nothing left to do. Your house had been cleaned at least a dozen times. You’ve tried all of the new meal recipes you could manage without starting a kitchen fire. You’ve video chat all of your friends and family so much you didn’t care to see their faces for another minute; it was only a reminder of how you couldn’t be with them. So, as the biggest streaming platforms report, we all began to binge watch any and everything that could help us escape for even a moment. I won’t go over the stats because this article is about my guilty pleasure- not the Top 10 rankings on Netflix.

Kitchen Nightmares
For years, I saw Gordon Ramsay as a villain. On Hell’s Kitchen, a reality cooking show competition, he was and still is portrayed as a passionate, perfectionist chef with a fiery temper, directing expletive after expletive at some donkey (GR code for ignoramus). I remember watching the Hell’s Kitchen commercials and hearing all the bleeped out swearing thinking, “Oh, what a terrible man. Ugh! He’s so angry and foul.” He’d explode at these actual professional chefs he considered inadequate, often incompetent (who may not have been that bad, but he certainly reacted to them and their cooking that way). I just couldn’t see GR’s appeal, like who enjoys watching some volatile British man slandering and demeaning people who are earnestly trying their best.

Captain's Log: A Bunch of Our Ship Fell Off, and Nobody Likes Me
My childhood was spent primarily in jean overalls and oversized Starter jackets whilst riding a bicycle that I thought defied the speed of light. It was a time before smart phones became the most coveted possession. It was the dawn of reality television, online shopping, and music that defined teenage angst. It was a time to be daring, a time to push the limits of standards and practices of public broadcasting. Nightly news shows were the first time I ever acknowledged current events, though most of it went over my head. Sometimes I glanced at the television whenever my parents watched Seinfeld. I wondered how they could watch something so vapid. Fast forward to now, however, and I will tell you with a smile that Seinfeld is sitcom royalty.
