How 'Queer Eye' Hooked Me
When Queer Eye for the Straight Guy first debuted in July 2003, I was just 30-years-old and was not honestly a huge fan of the reality show experience in general. To be honest, I did not think reality TV as a whole genre had any sort of survivability, and while I thought the original grouping of Carson Kressley, Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, and Jai Rodriguez had their charms, I really wasn't into watching makeover shows in general. I just didn't get it.

There's a Clusterf*** of Superheroes on TV
I’m no journalist so I’ll try to get straight to the point. Please excuse any errors. I’ve recently come to the realization that TV networks seem to be running out of original material which is proven by the multiple television reboots. (This deserves an article on its own). With this conundrum where could tv creatives get inspiration for more original-ish material? Yup, you guessed it, superheroes.

Why Everyone Thinks That Season 8 of Netflix's 'Voltron' Was Queerbaiting
For those who don't know the term queerbaiting: Queerbaiting is the practice to hint at, but then to not actually depict, a same-sex romantic relationship between characters in a work of fiction, mainly in film or television. The potential romance may be ignored, explicitly rejected or made fun of.The derogatory term "queerbaiting" is meant to imply that this is done for the purpose of attracting ("baiting") a queer audience with the ultimately unrealized suggestion of relationships that appeal to them. The concept arose in and has been popularized through Internet discussions among the fandom of popular films and television series.

'Teen Mom 2' - Explosive "Behind the Screams"
16 and Pregnant was a revolutionary show for MTV back in 2009 that has led to multiple spin-off shows for the network. It was arguably the first American show to take an in-depth look at the struggles of becoming a mother at such a young age. Each season dedicated an hour to a different girl and gave them a chance to reflect on their struggle at the end of each episode.

The Beauty of the Belchers
In recent years, American culture has become nothing short of cynical. It seems commonplace to be mistrustful of people, to believe that everyone has a hidden agenda and will do anything and everything in their power to see it through. Every headline portrays the constant turmoil facing the country both abroad and on home soil, creating a sense of hopelessness. Even in a population of over 400 million, we all feel like we're going through life alone. And that's what makes a show like Bob's Burgers stand out.
