Best Celebrity Cameos on 'The Simpsons'
That's right! The Simpsons have one of the largest character lists in the history of television. Not only is the town of Springfield very well populated, but each person has an abundant amount of lines throughout the series and is not left strictly to the background scene. In fact, most characters have episodes dedicated to their role in the show, revolving around the Simpson family of course. Each person has their own backstory and characteristics that make them unique and a hilarious asset to the show. In the shows twenty-eight seasons, there have been many celebrity cameos that are actually voiced by the celebrity themselves. From bands to actors and actresses, these cameos will make you laugh no matter how long they are featured in the episode.

Review on "Mirai Nikki" (Future Diary)
First, before we dig in, let's talk about why I was attracted to this anime. It all started with its opening song "Kuusou Mesorogiwi" which was covered by Amalee in English on Youtube. I was looking for more good anime songs and I clicked on it just for funsies...

Goodbye to the Voice(s) of Our American Childhood
If you're of a certain age today in America, and even if you’re not, you lost something special on July 26. It was some of that part of yourself that, over time, you may have tricked or reasoned your way out of believing in. Your childhood.

Show Review: Rick & Morty
The theme of the show is sci-fi/comedy set in the 21st century. Rick, the guy who looks like drunk Einstein, is so smart he has passed modern technology leaving normal people behind but keeping Morty with him as his sidekick. This is shown in the first 30 seconds. It is common to say Rick & Morty is like Back To The Future although there are only a few major similarities.

Why I Love "Anime Cartoons" When I'm "Too Old For It"
Many people have criticized me for the fact that I watch cartoons when I am old enough to watch reality TV and political arguments that have no end. Even when I am mature in my life and I do have a life, I am still criticized. Looked down upon for enjoying a childish show.

A Deadwood Movie Is Potentially in the Works
Deadwood was one of the most popular shows on HBO and with good reason, it was one of the most compelling shows on TV at the time. The lives of the people who chose to live in the lawless South Dakota settlement of Deadwood were just damn interesting to watch and even the villains gained sympathy over time from the rabid fan-base, thanks, both to excellent writing and brilliant performances from the cast. So it's little wonder that when the show was canceled after just three seasons back in 2006 the fans were very vocal about their disappointment, especially as the show had left so many loose ends untied.

Spies, Moles, And 'The Game'
It seems as though the Cold War spy thriller is making something of a come back in recent years. The last few years have seen a spate of new adaptations of the classic Cold War era works of author John le Carre ranging from the Oscar nominated film adaptation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy to a slew of BBC audio drama adaptations of the various novels. Authors such as Charles Cumming in his novel The Trinity Six have also explored the legacy of the Cold War as well. Yet there's also been new tales told as well, pastiches of a thought dead genre. One particularly interesting one was the BBC's six part thriller The Game, created by Toby Whithouse, which took viewers into MI5 in early 1970s Britain.

The Thirteenth Dr. and Sexism
Doctor Who is a popular T.V. series from the BBC. The Doctor has always been played by a male actor since the first Episode; Played by William Hartnell in 1963 to 1966, in the series The Doctor is only called the Doctor because he doesn't give out his first name. He travels through space and time in an old London police box called the Tardis which is much bigger on the inside, so much bigger it has a swimming pool but it’s never showed. When the Doctor arrives you know there’s going to be trouble…Everywhere he goes he's either fighting aliens or saving the planet from doom. He usually has a companion along for the ride and sometimes they even save him. When the Doctor dies he regenerates into a new body. He’s considered the same Doctor but has a whole new body since the old one has died. Some of the characteristics from the old Doctor have changed, and his personality can be slightly different. Every time the Doctor dies and a regenerates there’s a feeling of loss, we have to get used to the new Doctor all over again. But we haven’t been let down, because the creators of the show seem to always have the perfect replacement. Personally, my favorite Doctor’s were played by David Tennant (10th Doctor) and Peter Capaldi (12th Doctor). Since the BBC has reviled that the new Doctor is female played by actress Jodie Whittaker, I’ve noticed a few comments and articles on social media saying a percentage of people were unhappy and calling those people sexist. Do I think its sexist for people not to want a female Doctor? Well, I know there is sexism out there and was feeling a little concerned about the change and I as a Woman. It leaves so many questions. Since the Doctor has always been a male and regenerates as female will she be a whole different person? (What ever happened to the Doctor's daughter Jenny?)
