If you haven't seen either version of the show, the show(s) is about when Steve McGarrett returns home to Oahu from being in the Navy in order to find his father's killer. The Governor then offers him the chance to run his own task force (Five-0).

Here are the five best game shows that need to return.

Stopping by Stars Hollow: A Critic’s First Watch of 'Gilmore Girls' – Season 1, Episode 1
It’s summertime, I’m a recent college grad who left her waitressing job in order to pursue a more stable career (so I’m unemployed), I live in a semi-rural town, and have no driver’s license. So what better way to spend my summer and hopefully boost my morale than watch the TV series that seems to make every Top Ten TV Sitcoms of All Time list: Gilmore Girls.

Your Next Obsession: Korean Dramas
While I was in college, I stumbled upon a new genre of shows after completing a good amount of American television shows. That genre happened to be Korean dramas (K-Dramas) and they have become one of my favorite new genres of television to watch. They are filled with over-the-top drama, lots of outrageous situations, and love stories that never get old. Here are my top five picks that got me sucked into this new genre.

Disney’s Deeper Impact
For the past 19 years of my life, Disney’s spread to platforms such as television and Broadway have without a doubt had a huge role of shaping me into the person I am today. I have never met a fellow child of my generation who does not know the most popular television shows and television movies of the 2000s. Not only have these programs affected the 2000s generation, it has also positively affected and has helped launch the careers of the stars of these shows. The characters that these actors played for years have inspired young girls and boys to be confident and strong. Similarly, television movies such as High School Musical and Camp Rock have encouraged children to embrace their potential and follow their dreams. During this time of television victory for Disney, they also successfully took some of their most popular movies to Broadway, such as Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid. Seeing these beloved characters come to life onstage has been awe-inspiring to this generation. It is interesting to see the behind-the-scenes of this accomplishment, such as how Disney has made its television and Broadway shows a huge success overnight. It is equally as interesting to see what these actors from these memorable shows have to say about the impact it has had on them. Many people from this generation would argue that the Disney shows of today are not as inspirational and life-changing as the shows they watched were. Due to the decline of Disney material, the best step to take would be to introduce today’s generation to the “old” Disney shows and movies. Not only are these classic programs, but watching them would instill the positive messages of confidence and “follow your dreams” that shaped the 2000s generation into the ambitious leaders of today. Disney’s original television shows, television movies, and Broadway shows have had a positive impact on recent generations because the characters have been role models to them and the messages from these programs have been inspirational to them.

Why Aren't You Watching 'Legion' Anymore?
Noah Hawley and company brought us Legion early last year and it didn't take us long to learn that it had super powers of its own. In a world where Avengers: Infinity War can become the highest grossing movie of all time, Legion proved that it can successfully operate without being bound to a superhero cinematic universe, becoming FX's second highest earner in the 18-49 demo. But ever since its season two debut last month, the temperature around the show has fell a lot colder.

'Roseanne' the Reboot
I was one of those kids who was up at three AM watching Roseanne reruns on Nick At Nite. I was 12 and staying up late was totally cool. I'm just kidding. I had woken up sick as a dog and that's what was on that late, but that is how my love for the show started.
