The Problem with 'The Big Bang Theory'
The Big Bang Theory is an Emmy award-winning sitcom based around the lives of four socially awkward but highly intelligent scientists in Pasadena, California: roommates and theoretical physicists Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter, aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz, and astrophysicist Raj Koothrappali. The show's main source of comedy in the early seasons is the men's relationship with Penny, the beautiful, socially skilled, aspiring actress who moves into the apartment across the hall from Leonard and Sheldon, as they try to win her affections and their awkward 'geek' status clashes with her common sense. Throughout the show's 11 seasons (and renewal for a twelfth), two other characters are added to the main cast as Sheldon and Howard's partners: Amy Farrah Fowler and Bernadette Rostenkowski, respectively.

8 Amazingly Clever Things You Never Noticed About 'Rugrats' As A Kid
Nearly every 90s kid loved Rugrats, the classic Nicktoon presenting the daily adventures of Tommy Pickles and his friends. The show's nine seasons and its trilogy of movies are now fully available on DVD and iTunes, and for US viewers, Rugrats airs regularly on TeenNick's NickSplat programming block, so revisiting the series has never been easier. With plenty of popculture references and slightly naughty jokes, Rugrats remains just as enjoyable as enjoyable to watch as an adult.

'The Crown': 5 Dramatic Events for Future Seasons
Netflix’s hit show, The Crown, is well-known for its historical accuracy, and for bringing the crazy drama of Britain’s royal family to a new generation of Netflix watchers. But while we’ve seen some crazy drama in the first two seasons—affairs, deaths, Nazis and sex scandals—there are some royal famous controversies and tragedies that are bound to make the upcoming seasons more dramatic than ever. Oh, and obviously: spoilers!

'Black Mirror'
Do you love Black Mirror as much as I do? Okay, let’s get into it. Much has been made of BM’s foreboding, not-so-far away future where our current technology obsessed society has taken multiple swerves over to the dark side, leaving us viewers afraid to look at our phones. But you know it’s also, like, neat. What works best in BM, like any other show, is not just what it is about, but (I can’t stress this enough in my reviews) how it is about it. Sure, it’s cool as shit to see implants that record all of our memories, killer robot bees, or being able to physically block someone from your life, but it’s also damn cool when each of those stories is accompanied by some sort of unexpected twist and involves well drawn, relatable characters. BM does just that, and often just when you think you’ve worked out the commentary and the conceit, it slaps you upside the face with an ironical type shift in story. So yes, not only does the show work as a ‘reflection’ (ha ha) of where we may be heading as a civilization, but each episode, a few misfires aside, are finely written stories with delightful developments and nuanced people to inhabit the universe. So, by season (or series, if you will), here are my favourite episodes reviewed, from least to best in their respective series’ runs.

'Game of Thrones' Fan Theory
As a long time Game of Thrones fan, I’ve had a prediction from pretty early on in the show: Jon Snow will kill Daenerys Targaryen. My reasoning used to be pretty simple. I believe characters in Game of Thrones are based off of history. I think Cersei is Catherine De Medici, Daenerys is Mary, Queen of Scots, and Jon Snow is Elizabeth I.

How the Families From 'Family Ties' and 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-air' Are Almost IDENTICAL!
I pulled up to a house around seven or eight, and I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes, smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air... sha-la-la-la.

'Black Mirror': What Is It?
Okay, so for the past month or so, I've heard and seen a bunch of people on Twitter and Instagram talking about a show called Black Mirror. I heard so much talk about it that I decided to watch it for myself, after some explanation from a friend of mine who has seen it already. The show’s first episode date was December 4, 2011 and now has four seasons, the fourth one being released back in December of 2017. It has a 96 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has won an International Emmy Award for TV/Mini-Series.

‘Black Mirror’ – Every Episode (Worst to Best) / S1-S4
I'm going to be including each episode rank according to IMDB as well. Pretty hefty on text. If I'm not mistaken at the start of each episode as the title fades away the last letters to go leave to word 'BRO' on the screen. They also fade in the order of 'ROB'. Just saying. Is Rob a good bro of whoever made the titles or should we be robbing our bro? Mind fuck straight away.

If you're in need of some cheering up today, try to watch #AlexTrebek recite the lyrics to Desiigner's "Panda" without smiling. It is virtually impossible.
