X-Men
In the mid-1990’s I was just a child in middle school who was still trying to define myself and figure out who I wanted to be. I liked playing basketball and football in the streets with my siblings and friends, and I was engrossed in video games at that time, probably a little bit too much. With all of that being said, my favorite activity at this time was to get home, sit in front of the television, and watch X-Men: The Animated Series (1992) after school. Every Monday through Friday it was the same thing: (1) Run home from the bus, (2) Throw my book bag on the floor, and (3) Get a snack and watch X-Men.

Come along with me...
Adventure Time is a cartoon featuring Finn the human and Jake the dog. Created by Pendleton Ward, the series started as a cartoon short that went viral. It is set in the Land of Ooo, a post-apocalyptic earth populated by monsters, princesses, and candy people. Finn and Jake set off on many adventures, but it isn’t all fun and games--usually, there are villains, dungeon crawls and important life lessons to be learned too. With ten seasons and 283 episodes, the series features many quirky characters, lore that deepens with every episode, and the occasional fart joke.

Comfort Found In Nothing
I have been hearing that classic Seinfeld music for most my life. Throughout my life that 90's jazz meant a lot of different things to me. Since I was five to around the age of sixteen, if I heard that music I was out of the room. How BORING. I couldn't stand the show, I literally called it "the boring show", the only parts I could watch was the physical comedy spurts of Kramer's character, I mean of course, being a young kid his hair reminded me of a rooster's comb, which never failed to make me laugh, but once those other three people started talking, well, I was out of there.

The Jeremy Kyle Show
The Jeremy Kyle Show is the most British TV show you have probably never heard of. The naïve amongst you might attempt to compare it to smiling Ricky Lake or upbeat Jerry Springer, but the British people would know this to be wholly and utterly inaccurate. If you happen to be a Brit, it is a high probability that you are more likely to have watched an episode (or five) of JK than you are to own a passport. There is however a slight catch in that no sane British person ever owns up to their love of JK. It is quite the controversial move if you do.

The One Show I'm Embarrassed Of.
My siblings think that I’m embarrassed by watching cartoon shows. I’m not. Animation is one of the highest art forms, and the perception in the US of cartoons being a domain for children means that the shows are generally cheerful, fun, and inoffensive, a welcome escape from daily life. I proudly watch Wander Over Yonder, Milo Murphy's Law, Samurai Jack, and Over the Garden Wall.

Guilty Pleasure Binge
So what is Kim of Queens? Well, let me start by telling you what Kim of Queens is not. It's not any of the f&ckery that is Toddlers and Tiaras. Now that we've established that, let's proceed.

Fifty Shades of Plaid
Okay, I'll confess: I'm guilty of binge-watching all sixty-seven episodes of my favorite time travel romance between Jamie, a dashing 18th century Scots Highlander, and Claire, a saucy 'Sassenach' woman from the 20th century who is "not the meek and obedient type."

Comfort viewing during a pandemic. Top Story - January 2021.
I've seen the entirety of Seinfeld probably four times (I came to that one late); the complete Parks & Recreation half a dozen times and I've completely lost count of the amount of re-watches I've done of The Office: An American Workplace (well, I admittedly tend to skip the less-perfect first season of The Office for the majority of my watches).

The Cringe Factor
As soon as this week’s Vocal challenge about cringey TV shows to binge watch to, the first thing that came to my head was Simon Cowell’s kingdom of talent shows that have been dominating screens for nearly twenty years. I have a serious love/hate relationship with these kind of shows. As a child, I was a big fan of Pop Idol and The X Factor.

An Ode to Trailer Park Boys. Top Story - January 2021.
When the sepia-toned ariel footage of Nova Scotia’s most infamous trailer park begins to roll with the dreamy lilting piano chord theme carrying on through it, I feel my heart skip a beat. Trailer Park Boys, a cult classic mockumentary à la The Office but Canadian, raunchier, and subjectively better, is a nod to the working class and the antics of blue-collar buddies just getting by. But it’s also casually progressive, especially for a show born in the early aughts when being an out gay couple in a conservative-leaning proletariat class was an anomaly. And it’s where the now-famed star of such blockbuster hits as The Umbrella Academy, Juno, and Inception, Elliot Page, got their start. TPB, as it is affectionately abbreviated, has brought a sense of simplicity and comic relief to the trenches of mundanity and daily struggles of the working class.

Courage The Cowardly Dog
Forthrightly, I am not so big on watching television shows like I was when I was a kid. In my younger days, I would watch television nonstop after school until bedtime. Now, as an adult with interesting goals, things have changed. When I am using the television, I normally watch informative or self-help videos on YouTube. However, I have been watching certain television shows that pique my interest.
