Good evening,
When you get a chance, please post an introductory note about yourself here, as a comment.
This will be my way of making sure you know how to get to the blog and post a comment.
Let's keep it simple-- provide us with your top 1-3 television shows and tell us why those shows are your favorites.
I'll start-
Hey, I'm Jack Powers and I'm originally from Cleveland. As for my favorite TV shows, my all-time favorite is The Simpsons. I love that show because of its social satire. I also really enjoy Game of Thrones on HBO. I didn't start watching it until this summer, but I am blown away by the production values, the writing, the unpredictability, and the complex storytelling. It's fair to say that I love television more than any other type of mass media.
Hi I'm Alyssa Genereux and I'm from Chelmsford, MA (about a half hour out of Boston). My favorite show is a futuristic drama called Defiance. It's on Syfy and I just love the artistry and the plot line. I also used to love Covert Affairs on USA Network. I used to want to be a CIA agent when I was younger so I really liked the show. Another show that I liked that was cancelled was Red Band Society. Just like the kids in the show, I have been in and out of hospitals my entire life so the show really spoke to me. I know you said only 1-3 shows but I have one more. New Girl on Fox is just amazing. I love the humor and the character developments over the seasons.

ReplyDeleteHey Hey Hey ! My name is Daniella Mia Resto. Nicknames include Danni, Loca, and Dee! I was raised in the Boogie Down Bronx of City that Never Sleeps New York City. My favorite shows include Empire because it is somewhat like a musical but its a series of a family record company. I am in love with Bob's Burgers just because i love the character Louis and Tina... Although, I had to be strongly convinced to watch shows like The Walking Dead I have fallen in love with the shows mostly because of the character development over the seasons.
ReplyDeleteHey, my name is Diego Sanchez but everyone calls me diegs, i was born in Paris, France, but i moved to Venezuela when i was 3. Then i moved to Miami, FL when i was a freshman in High School, and obviously now I'm here. My favorite shows are Prison Break, Two and a Half Men and Family Guy. The reason for Prison Break is because of Scofield's intellectual skills and how smart he is. And obviously the reason for Two and a Half Men and Family Guy is because how funny they are. Family Guy mainly because their jokes are so connected to our situation in our country that you need to be an informed and intellectual person to understand them.
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Kat Pickhardt and I'm from Rochester, NY. My all time favorite show is The Office because of the awkward humor and the amazing characters. I also grew up loving SNL and I think it has stuck with me because every episode is so different and with every season the show has a completely different feel.
ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Jake Wright. I was born and raised in Syracuse. My favorite show is Psych because I love the chemistry of the two main characters and the wit of the show. Also I enjoy watching the BBC show Sherlock because of the cinematography and editing. Lastly, another show I enjoy is Inside the NBA on TNT, not because I'm a huge NBA fan but I really enjoy the personalities they have on the show. Shaq is a natural comedian and Charles Barkley has no filter and does not care what you think about him.
ReplyDeleteHey all. My name is Stephen James Carleton. I hail from the great land of Grahamsville...A land filled with mutton and maidens of the forest. Seriously, I came from a town of like 5 people and my graduating class was 76 kids. I'm a really approachable guy so never be afraid to talk to me. I'll literally talk to anyone...I've never really believed in cliques, I don't care what your interest are or what you believe in. You respect me...I respect you, it's that simple. My dream is to become the next Jimmy Fallon or Conan O' Bryan. Big dreams...I know hahahaha I realize I have a small chance, but as long as there is a chance....well ya know...im gonna FREAKING go for it. Life is about dream chasing and Intend to do that. I chose ithaca for it's opportunities and it's programs. The campus is nice and all but my true reasoning lies in the the chances I'll have to land jobs. After all, that is the real reason we go to college...to obtain the skills and credentials we need to achieve our goals. I have high hopes for ithaca and I'll be involved with ICTV greatly. Like I said, if you ever need anyone to talk to or need a friend, I'm always available! I'm looking forward to working with all of you. Peeeaaaceee....
ReplyDeletelmao I forgot my three favorite tv shows. I love Conan, The tonight show starring jimmy fallon and game of thrones. Conan and jimmy are just funny people to watch and they really bring in a great attitude to the industry. They're both genuinely nice guys who got to a spot in life where they love their job. As for Game of thrones...I like the boobs...Jk. The acting is phenomenal and I love the plot. My favorite character is Tyrion Lannister and peter Dinklage places him flawlessly.
DeleteHello, I am Jacob Sullivan, coming from the smoggy land of Great Meadows, NJ. My first favorite show is "Last Week Tonight". John Oliver picks up just where Jon Steward left off (and is in my opinion, even better). The jokes get bigger and bigger every week and every episode has a surprise. Hell I changed my religion on Facebook to the religion John Oliver started on the show. Secondly, I love the show "Rick and Morty". a show that baffles me with its creativity and originality every week. It is on Adult Swim, and is the second most quotable show on TV. Last but oddest is "Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule". Also on Adult Swim, it can be ugly, disturbing, and surreal, but most of all, it is always funny. It is the most quotable show on TV. It is not for every one, but you like John C. Riley or "off" humor. Watch it now!
ReplyDeleteHi, I’m Rebecca Popple and I am from West Orange, New Jersey. One of my favorite TV shows is Breaking Bad because of the plot and all of its twists throughout the seasons. Jesse Pinkman is one of my favorite characters ever and I was always rooting for him as he developed throughout the show. I also enjoy SNL because of the comedy and the fact that it is filmed live. Another TV show I love is Orange is the New Black because of the different characters. It is interesting to see the way they act/are perceived by other cellmates compared to their backstories of their lives before they were sent to jail. I also love it for the drama and how certain relationships and friendships transition throughout the show.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Tim Obzud and Im from Rochester NY. My all-time favorite TV show is Breaking Bad because of the thrilling nature of the plot. I find it very intruiging because the characters are from a normal family just like my own but their worlds rapidly change into something much different. My second favorite show is The Following. Although I hate Kevin Bacon, the twisted concept of the entire story always kept me engaged. My third and current favorite is Parks and Rec. I like this show because of the stupid humor seen throughout each episode. I also like all the characters for their own individual reasons. Im bummed that now all three of these shows have ended.
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm Cate Tauriello and I already commented in an earlier post by mistake, but when in Ithaca... (that's not a thing). I'm from Walkersville, MD (which outside of Frederick (which is an hour away from Baltimore as well as DC)). I love TV! It's so hard to pick just three. 1) House of Cards. It's original, it has Kevin Spacey, and it's on Netflix so I don't have to plan to watch it on a certain day at a certain time. 2) Mad Men. I just recently picked up on (and finished all too quickly) this show and I love it. In fact, I loved it so much I broke my binge to do a study on not using Netflix for three days. Worst three days ever in exchange for a nice semester project grade. Anyway, the acting, the writing, and the accuracy of the time period with costumes and props, etc. amaze(d/s) me with every episode. Also who doesn't love Jon Hamm? 3) The Dick Van Dyke Show. It's old, not a lot of people in my age group know it exists, and the jokes timeless/still relevant to today. When I was younger I aspired to be Sally Rogers because I wanted to have that wit and cleverness that she had. (It's a work in progress 😉)
ReplyDeleteOh darn. My emojis didn't post.
DeleteHi there! I'm Riley Ludwig, and I'm a sophomore TV-R major with a minor in Journalism hailing from the Albany, New York area. First, I love The Office, because the reactions of the characters to each other's actions kills me. I binge-watched Friends this past summer, and I love it because of Chandler's sarcasm. And finally, House of Cards is my drama, and it really keeps me on the edge of my seat, and often pressing rewind because it's hard to believe what happens sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHello people, my name is Jess. I am from Long Island, NY. Most people can tell because of my accent which I refuse to believe I have. Other than that I really love Impractical Jokers. The funniest show I've ever seen because I, for one, can relate to the characters. Whenever I'm out in public and someone dares me to talk to a stranger or do something weird I will do it because I have no shame just like Joe, Sal, Murr, & Q. Another one of favorite TV shows has to be Dexter. The most interesting yet disgusting show due to the amount of violence it has. I am so interesting in forensics which is basically the whole show. Dexter is a serial killer who kills other serial killers and just that in general got my attention. Lastly, another show that sparks my interest is Prison Break. First of all, Wentworth Miller is really hot. Second of all, I am weirdly obsessed with shows about prison, reality and/or drama. Also I am the girl who is on crutches so if you see a girl on crutches who looks like she's dying just give me a holler.
ReplyDeleteHey guys! I’m Caitlin and I’m from Warwick, Rhode Island. My absolute favorite TV show is Criminal Minds. I am border-line obsessed with it. Like to the point where I’ve watched all 233 episodes multiple times. I am so in love with the characters, their chemistry, and their development. I feel that is what makes it better than other crime shows. A little fun fact: I was on the set of the show just under a month ago where I got to watch filming and met Shemar Moore and Joe Mantegna. Best. Day. Ever. Earlier that same day I was on set of my second favorite TV show as well, while on the Warner Brothers studio tour. And that would be The Ellen Degeneres Show. I just love ellen because she is so genuine and kind and incredibly hilarious. I mean, who doesn’t love ellen? And my third favorite show is The Office. That is one of the few shows out there that can actually make me laugh out loud. I also think both Steve Carell and Ed Helms are just great personalities.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Taryn Falkenstein and I'm from Fairfax, VA (which is 20 minutes outside of DC). My favorite show of all time is Friends because of the the writing and the characters. I love that any episode will make me laugh out loud. I also love Scandal and Grey's Anatomy because I love Shonda Rhimes' writing style. It's never predictable which I love! I also really like Orange is the New Black and many other Netflix original shows because of the incredible writing and character development.
ReplyDeleteHey I'm Casper Molina! I was born in Brooklyn, and grew up here in Ithaca. My favorite TV show is definitely The Twilight Zone. I think there's so much writing talent on that show from Serling to Bradbury to Beaumont. I also think the subject matter (war, MAD, communism, space travel, time travel, aliens, westerns, etc.) is dope. VEEP is a killer show. It's pretty much what I always wanted from The Office; absurd amounts of profanity, and office style witty profane awful jokes thrown around like candy. Julia Louis-Dreyfus has killer delivery. Third going with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Absurd and perfect. Some best episodes this last season. Charlie Work.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Emma Noblesala and I'm from Queens, NYC. My all-time favorite TV show is Friends. I watched when I was little when it was still airing because my mom watched the show. We went on to buy all 10 seasons on DVD and I watched it every summer because I was a child at home all day without cable. I love how funny it is and the characters are all relatable at some point. I think I enjoy it even more now because I understand more of the references made as opposed to when I was younger. Another TV show I enjoy is Bones. I really like crime solving shows and I enjoy the characters and their chemistry on the show (David Boreanaz, IC Alumnus '91!). I also just got hooked on a new show, Proof on TNT. It's about a doctor looking into life after death and making some questionable discoveries.
ReplyDeleteHi there! My name is Ingrid and I am from Villanova Pennsylvania. My favorite TV show is Private Practice (which is the spin-off of Grey's Anatomy). When I was a kid I originally wanted to be a doctor therefore I love watching American medical drama. Another TV show I really enjoy is Scandal. The main reason I like it so much is because it is something my mom and I watch together. Political thrill filled with drama and action is just so intriguing. As you can see -- I am a big Shonda Rhimes fan. This brings me to my last TV show which is Grey's Anatomy. I just started watching it at the end of this summer but so far so good! Shonda Rhimes does not disappoint her audience. She has quite the talent for creating TV Shows that keep her audience's attention; which I love.
ReplyDeleteHi My name is Luke D'Onofrio and I am from West Chester Pennsylvania. My favorite TV show is NCIS I like murder mysteries and I also like how they add a little comedy to this show. My second favorite TV show is The King of Queens I realize this show is not making any new episodes but I still like it. One of my favorite actors is Kevin James and he has one of the main roles in this TV show and I also like comedy and this show has comedy. And last but not least my third favorite TV show is Tanked it is about this company who builds awesome fish tanks for people.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Katie Eckelmann and I am from Flemington, New Jersey. My favorite TV show is Game of Thrones. It always keeps me on my toes and the acting, production, and plot are all terrific in my opinion. I also love Mad Men because of how true to the 60s it was, it must've been so much work recreating everything the way they did, plus it has some of the most beautiful shots I've ever seen on TV. A show I've loved since I was little is Boy Meets World. I have seen every episode multiple times and will always watch if it's on TV. It's silly and I love it.
ReplyDeleteHi My Name is Anthony Pizzo and I am from Burlington County New Jersey. My favorite TV show is Arrow. Its broadcasted on The CW and it is based own the DC comic book character Green Arrow. It has a great plot line and has one of best combinations of action and drama that I have ever experienced. My second favorite TV show is called The Flash. It's a spin-off of Arrow and is based on the DC comics character Flash. I enjoyed this show for it's special affects and its story line which has different twists from what you would see in the Comics. This show also airs on the CW. My third show is a Netflix original called Daredevil. This show is also based on a DC comic character. What I like the most about this show is his origin story. I really enjoy TV shows that contain action and drama with some exciting "what's gonna happen next" moments mixed in between.
ReplyDeleteHi I'm Haley and I am from a town a little outside of Pittsburgh. My favorite show is Friday Night Lights. The show made me care about characters so much that when it ended it felt like I lost a whole community of friends. The portrayals of each character felt real and flawed, but ultimately the characters were likable. Another one of my favorites is Shameless, for similar reasons. Game of Thrones is also one of my favorites, simply because the scale of the story and the production is superb.
ReplyDeleteHi I'm Jayson and I'm from NYC. My favorite show has got to be Weeds. That show was so good (apart from the last 2 seasons which were iffy). I just liked the acting a lot and the storyline was pretty funny. I also like to watch Scandal because Kerry Washington is an amazing actress. Another favorite of mine would have to be Key and Peele because it's so funny and they really know how to put on so many different personals.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Brooke from Fort Lee, NJ. My favorite comedy is Inside Amy Schumer because of how edgy and different it is. I also really like Saturday Night Live because most of the skits are witty and topical. I'd have to say that my third favorite television show would have to be The Twilight Zone since the episodes are surprising and often twisted.
ReplyDeleteHI I'm Stephanie . I was born and raised in Brooklyn , NY. My three favorite shows would be Republica Deportiva , Twisted and Univision Deportes Futbol Club. Republica Deportiva is one of my favorite shoes because I am a really big sports fan , I've been watching this show for as long as I can remember, it features some of my favorite commentators and I feel like sports are more exciting in Spanish. Twisted is also one my favorite shows even though it was canceled after one season . I was completely devastated when it was canceled . The story was so intriguing a, it was full of mystery I loved it. Lastly I enjoy Univision Deportes Futbol Club , because like Republica Deportiva it feautures some of my favorite commentators plus its all about soccer , my favorite sport in the world.
ReplyDeleteHey guys!! I'm John and I'm from Norwood, Massachusetts. My favorite TV show is Friends because I love the humor and I got attached to the characters really quickly. I also really like CBS's Big Brother. Even though it's a gameshow, I really like the competitiveness. Another one of my favorites is definitely Family Guy because I think it's hilarious and I really like Seth MacFarlane.
ReplyDeleteHey ya’ll. Im Kel from Flemington, NJ (apparently I say words like “talk”,”coffee”, “water”, and ”shore ” funny). My favorite shows are Last Man Standing because I miss Home Improvement, Modern Family because its filmed in mockumentary style and tackles cultural/societal stigmas, and Friends because well, everyone needs a little Chandler in their lives.
ReplyDeleteHello My name is Isaiah Horton and I'm from NYC. One of my favorite shows is Breaking Bad, because I think it is one of the most innovative series to ever be on television. Another favorite show of mine is Girlfriends, because it is one of the only shows that features successful black women. And I also really love the series Bojack Horseman, because I believe that it is setting a standard that all animated comedies that follow will have to be at.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Lauren, and I'm from Parsippany (northern), NJ! My favorite TV show is Parks and Recreation because it is brilliantly written and the characters are all so different but likable in their own ways (I absolutely love April). I also love Modern Family because of the ridiculous predicaments in which the characters find themselves. And lastly, even though it only has one season, I fell in love with Freaks and Geeks because of its portrayal of teens in the 80s. The teen issues shown in the show are still so prevalent in today's teen society.
ReplyDeleteHi, Im Jillian Schmidt and I'm from Syracuse, NY. One of my favorite TV shows is American Horror Story. I became addicted to this show on netflix because of its suspense and twisted story lines. I also really like Big Brother because it is interesting to see how sneaky and completive some of the characters can get within the house. Lastly, I absolutely love Family Guy and think Seth McFarlane is hilarious. This show always gives me a good laugh!
ReplyDeleteHi, Im Patrick Pearce and Im from Greenville Delaware. My favorite TV show is the office. I am a huge Steve Carrel fan and I love the whole idea of the Mockumentary, and thats why I also love Parks and Rec. I love the dry humor they use and I really like Amy Poehler. I also like the TV show Game of Thrones. I was a fan of the books but I think the TV show is even better. I like how dark everything is, it really puts me inside the story and makes me feel like I am there.
ReplyDeleteHey my name is Jack Jennings and I'm from Washingtonville NY (about 45 minutes outside of NYC). I really like a lot of TV shows so it's gonna be tough to just pick 3. My first show would have to be Workaholics because it's hilarious and I really like that Comedy Central found them on YouTube. Second would have to be Curb Your Enthusiasm because Larry David is a comedic genius and I like that most of the show is improv. Third is a Netflix original called the Peaky Blinders it's about a British crime family in the 20's, Im a big Killian Murphy fan so naturally I like the show.
ReplyDelete(Alright I'll post again here then) Hi, I'm Mirelle (but I go by Ellie) Tinker from the small town of Higganum, CT. I'm majoring in TV-R and soon minoring in English. I love all modes of storytelling and as such I enjoy reading, writing, singing, playing video games, and watching movies and k-dramas. Though I have taken video production classes in the past, I'm eager to learn about the media industry itself and meet many other like-minded people (and hopefully have a lot of fun doing so in the process).
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Zack! I'm from a decently sized town called Bloomfield, New Jersey which is right outside of NYC. My top 3 favorite TV shows have to be Arrested Developmet, Dexter and The Office (in no particular order). Arrested Development had, in my opinion, some of the best writing in television. I loved how original and how well developed each character and overarching storyline was developed. Dexter was extremely well made. I especially enjoyed the fact that the view was given a lot of insight on to what was going on through Dexter's head. The combination of thrilling drama and dark comedy is unmatched. The Office may be my biggest influence (besides sports) for wanting to get into the TV industry. The hilarious content and the style in which it is presented is truly inspirational. (Honorable mention: Suits, Doctor Who, Parks & Rec, South Park).
ReplyDeleteHey guys! I'm Nick and I'm from Cromwell, Connecticut (about 20 minutes outside of Hartford, the state capital). My 3 favorite TV shows are Person of Interest, ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown, and Wipeout. I'm a huge fan of Person of Interest because of the plot structure. The producers organize the plot so many small events cultivate into one huge event in the plot (i.e Bank Robbery, Mob Attack, etc.). This helps keep the show fresh and entertaining. I watch NFL Countdown every Sunday before games. This keeps me in the loop as to what's going on in the NFL and also provides professional insight on tactics. All in all, Countdown helps me understand football better and watching it as a kid up until now has made me love watching the sport. I like Wipeout because it's hilarious watching people attempt to get through a tough obstacle course. More often than not they fall (wipeout) in some hilarious way which is hilarious to the viewer. Also, the added sound FX and commentary make the show funnier.
ReplyDeleteHi I'm Diamond from Poughkeepsie, NY(home of the snooki). I'm 18 and just really excited to finally start my journey with TV.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Marlee and I'm from Ft. Lauderdale, FL! My favorite TV shows are Friends, Modern Family, and How I Met Your Mother, because who doesn't love a good laugh?
ReplyDeleteHello! My name is Cole and I'm from Baltimore, MD. I really love all TV so making me pick 3 is like choosing a favorite child. But my top three are Community, because it's just perfectly my humor, Game of Thrones for its amazing story telling. And Always Sunny because of how crazy and quotable it is.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! I'm Jackson Roberts and I'm from Westchester County, NY. I love sports, especially Baseball. However, my favorite TV is George Lopez because of the way it was written and the type of characters in the show.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! My name is Amanda and I'm from Westfield NJ. I love TV and all the behind the scenes stuff (hence my TV/R major). My favorite show of all time is SNL but I also really like late night comedy shows like Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night With Seth Meyers which i realize no one watches because its a little awkward but thats ok. I also really like The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, New Girl and so many more but I'll stop there. I love these shows because the writing is amazing and the characters are so well written.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Katy and I hail from Baltimore, MD. My number one favorite TV show is Game of Thrones, as I am a huge science fiction/fantasy enthusiast and really enjoyed the novels as well. I also loved Breaking Bad, as the acting is phenomenal and the plot kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole show. My third favorite TV show is Parks and Recreation, as I am consistently amused by it, laughing out loud each episode!
ReplyDeleteHi I'm Ruby from Pasadena, California about 30 minutes outside of LA. My all time favorite show is The Office because of the character development over all the seasons, and the humor of course. My second favorite show would have to be Grey's Anatomy, that show never fails to make me cry when someone dies, and its always someone I never expect. Finally, my third favorite show is Law and Order: SVU because those types of crime shows interest me for some reason and they do a good job of thinking up new scenarios for episodes even though it just finished its 16th season.

ReplyDeleteI'm Maya. I'm from Philadelphia, PA. My first show would have to be Pushing Daisies because I like cooking and death. Next, probably Star Trek (I'm not saying which one because I mean all of them that totally counts as one show), and Brooklyn 99, because it's hilarious and portrays a gay poc who is not defined by stereotypes but also remains firm in his identity.
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm Jonathan and I live just outside of Boston, Massachusetts. My three favorite television shows are 30 Rock, Game of Thrones and Portlandia. I love 30 Rock because Tina Fey is a comedic badass and I'll willingly watch anything she writes. Plus, the show is kind of like a behind the scenes look at the television industry, which is fun to see. I like Game of Thrones because of the way the characters and storylines intersect. It's a show that always keeps me on my toes, which can sometimes be hard to find. Finally, I enjoy watching Portlandia because it is unlike anything else I've seen on TV. (Plus, I can't help but laugh at the fact that the show's very fictionalized version of Portland is a little too similar to a certain city in New York.)
ReplyDeleteHi I'm Lauren and I'm from Franklin, Massachusetts. I have way too many favorite TV shows, but I'll do my best to try and pick 3. I really like Game of Thrones because of the great story telling and how intense it is. Another show that I really like is The Office (and Parks & Rec) simply because of how funny it is. I also really like Dexter because of how it is so intense but at the same time has some comedy in it.
ReplyDeleteHey I'm Jessica Torres and I'm from Morristown, NJ. My top 3 favorite shows are Bones, Teen Wolf and Pretty Little Liars. I like Bones because I've been watching it for so long and the storyline has got me hooked. I love suspense and mystery as well. Teen Wolf is also very suspenseful which is why I like it. Pretty Little Liars is suspenseful and mysterious which is only one of the reasons why I like it. I have also read the whole Pretty Little Liars series and I like to see the differences and similarities.
ReplyDeleteHi I'm Kara Karpinski and I'm from Morganville, NJ. I love a lot of drama and comedy tv shows. I watch a lot of shows from the CW like The 100, The Vampire Diaries, and The Originals. Teen Wolf is also one of my favorite shows. I recently started watching Parks and Rec and I'm loving it so far.
ReplyDeleteHello! My name is Hikari Leon and I am from West Chester, PA. The shows that I enjoy watching are Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, and Game of Thrones. I like them because they all have complex characters and story lines. Another reason as to why I enjoy these shows is because the settings in which the shows take place are both fascinating and have a huge impact on the quality of the show.
ReplyDeleteHey! My name is Emma Beltrandi and I am from New Hartford, Connecticut (the opposite of the capital of CT, Hartford). I am a TVR major and I would like to pick up a minor in international politics. I am hoping to someday become a correspondent, as I would love to combine traveling with my job. I love to be involved and am looking to do so here at Ithaca, whether it's on the radio or at the gym!
ReplyDeleteHey I'm Kristen Karaliunas and I'm from the Pocono Mountains, Pa (basically Scranton...yes I know The Office). I am an Emerging Media major who is picking up an Art minor in the spring. I'm hoping to some day work for the Disney company. My favorite tv show is Once Upon a Time, because the character development is absolutely genius! I also quite like Friends, and am planning to start watching Parks and Rec.
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm Steven from West Chester, PA. My favorite TV show is probably Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job. I think the greatness of Awesome Show comes from how it continually makes fun of itself. I think this style has gained a lot of merit in TV since the show (ex. Eric Andre). On the complete opposite side of the spectrum, my second favorite show is Twin Peaks. I appreciate how the characters of Twin Peaks are so connected to one another, even when the plot lacks a fair amount of direction (especially Season 2!). Trying to think of a third show that could tie these two together, but oh well!
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm Patty Quijada Salazar. I was born in Venezuela. Lived in Madison, WI for ~10 years, and have been living Davis, CA for the past 8-9 years. One of my favorite shows in Criminal Minds because I find it interesting how the criminals are found. I also like Game of Thrones because of its complex storytelling and amazing production. I've started watching Sense8 which is slowly becoming a favorite of mine because of how they intersect the characters and their stories.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Carl Valentine from Norton, Massachusetts, which is almost exactly between Boston and Providence. My favorite show by far is The Office (US), and in the interest of not listing other comedies, I'll go with Game of Thrones (which I binge-watched over the summer) and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver as my next two favorite shows.
ReplyDeleteHi, My name is Emily and I'm from Ithaca, Ny. My favorite show right now is Scandal because it's so ridiculous and over the top it keeps you interested throughout. I also like One Tree Hill because it's relatable. Psych is also really entertaining because it has great humor.

ReplyDeleteHello! My name is Cole Puckett and I'm from Fairport, New York (about 15 minutes from Rochester City). The dream is to be an anchor. My favorite shows include, but are not limited to, The Daily Show (with Jon Stewart, we'll see about Trevor Noah), The Office, and Wet Hot American Summer. The Daily Show has created a way of giving the news to the public as well as making it enjoyable. Good scenarios or bad, The Daily Show is able to make you laugh. The Office, is just well, The Office. I don't think much explaining is needed there. And Wet Hot is an a witty, ridiculous, ingenious movie which got awful reviews and scores. Which is one reason the show is one of my favorites. The unpopularity the movie originally received would make you think a show is out of the question but this star studded, comedy packed show really made an impact with its cult following.
ReplyDeleteI posted on a different part of the site earlier, but I just realized this! My name is Taylor, and I'm from a tiny town in the Adirondacks called Oswegatchie. My favorite show is definitely Survivor. I love the strategy involved and rooting for my favorites to do well each week. I also love/loved shows like Orange is the New Black, Arrested Development, Lost, and Big Brother(even though it's completely ridiculous sometimes!).
ReplyDeleteI’m Eleni Sabracos and I am from Baltimore, MD. My favorite TV shows are Criminal Minds, How I Met Your Mother, and Orange is the New Black. I love how OITNB uses each episode to tell the story of a different inmate. As the season unfolds, you sympathize and learn to understand how each inmate got there and why they behave the way they do. I love How I Met Your Mother for reasons I can’t explain. It always makes me laugh and I have seen the entire series four times!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Benjamin and I'm from Bel Air Maryland. My favorite TV show of all time is tragically Firefly, with it's one sweet, beautiful season that aired oh so long ago before being canceled. I love that show because the production value and the script writing were, in my opinion, unparalleled on television. (plus cowboys in space, how can it get anymore awesome than that?). I'm also a huge fan of the TV show Sherlock (I find it fascinating that after so many years, and so many different renditions of the the Sherlock Holmes stories, Steven Moffat was still able to bring something fresh to the table. I love all the intricacies of the modernization of the stories and, as a big fan of the original books, I appreciate the little nods to the Doyle's works that they throw in there).
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Malama Sokoni. I have always sort of preferred movies to television, but I absolutely adore TV, and my 3 favorite shows are Psych, Community, and Luther. Luther is a British miniseries that I started watching around 2 or 3 years ago. I love it primarily for its writing, tone, performances, and the use of London as a wonderfully dark and dreary (yet beautiful) setting. I love Community for its brilliant writing, and hope to one day create a show even half as funny (I look up to Dan Harmon a lot). And Psych (my favorite show) is just fun and hilarious, and always lifts my spirits with its out-of-the-box stories and a pair of amazing leads.
ReplyDeleteI'm Connor and I am from Oswego, NY right on Lake Ontario. My top favorite show would probably have to be Psych. I like crime shows, but I liked the comedy element specifically in this show. Next on the list is Mad Men. I appreciated the suave, laid back atmosphere that was majorly present, but I also really liked how all of the characters were flawed and wicked in their own ways. Finally, I can't forget House of Cards. If a show can make you root for the bad guys, it deserves recognition in my book.
ReplyDeleteHey everybody! My name's Gabriela Friedman, but I much rather be called Gabby. I am from Mount Laurel, NJ- a town about twenty minutes outside of Philadelphia. I'd say my favorite show would have to be Friends. It's always been a big hit and even off the air, it never dies. I also like Orange Is The New Black because of the drama and oddly close ties to its book. My third favorite is the Arrow. I love shows with action and a questioning feeling of what happens next.

ReplyDeleteHi, I am William Link, and I'm from West Milford, New Jersey. I haven't watched a lot of television shows recently; I have always been more into gaming or watching movies. Game of Thrones is show I've watched the most recently, and I absolutely love it. I enjoy the writing and the storytelling, and am excited for its next season. I havent seen any other shows recently, but I do have a soft spot for cartoons. Spongebob has had a suprisingly quotable show in my friend group, and I've enjoyed what I've seen of Rick and Morty. The show is very fresh, random, and humorous, and its neat to see what kind of stuff the creators do each episode
ReplyDeleteGood day, everyone! I'm Daniel Smith, and I'm from just south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Recently, I've had the pleasure of getting into quite a few good television shows on platforms like Netflix, HBO, and Amazon. My favorite from HBO has to be Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, a brilliant late night comedy show where the host takes a look at important political and social issues and dashes on a bit of brilliant British satire at it all. Speaking of British things, Doctor Who has been on my mind lately, and recently I've gotten into one of the spinoff shows, Torchwood. It definitely has a few more mature themes going for it than its source material, but it's still very enjoyable for the interactions between the crew and Captain Jack Harkness. Another great British drama I've been enjoying and aching to get more into is Foyle's War. Written by the same man who penned the Alex Rider book series, this is a WWII detective drama about an inspector who solves crimes committed by people during a time where moral compasses are going in all sorts of directions.
ReplyDeleteHey, guys. I'm Paige. I'm just south of Pittsburgh. My all time favorite TV shows are F.R.I.E.N.D.S, M*A*S*H, and The Big Bang Theory. M*A*S*H is a show I started watching with my dad right around the same time I started watching Grey's Anatomy with my mom. It's funny how so much of what is on TV now is just the old stuff recycled in better quality. Wit never goes out of style in the TV business.

ReplyDeleteHi everyone, my name is Lily! I am from Sea Cliff New York, a super small town in Long Island. I am a television radio major concentrating in production, but I am also a writing major focussing in Memoir. My favorite tv shows are Orange Is The New Black, The Amanda Show (I love Moody's Point..best part of the show- I still laugh thinking about it), and One Tree Hill (how cliche). I am more of a film buff, ironically being that I am majoring in TVR, but my ultimate dream is to not be in the movie world, but to be on screen as a talk show host or a news reporter.
ReplyDeleteHey guys, My name is Sahara Bebo. I am from Plymouth, Vermont. I am a Television-Radio Major. My favorite TV shows right now include The Office, MASH, Emily Owens MD, Game of Thrones, Brooklyn 99, etc... I like Brooklyn 99 because not only is if goofy and hilarious but my brother,my dad, and I all get together to watch it. MASH is a classic and I've been watching reruns forever. The rest of them I just like for various reason. What I want to watch depends greatly on my mood.
ReplyDeleteHey everyone, I'm Kenzie Miller! :) I'm from Binghamton unfortunately haha and I'm a sophomore TV/R major. My favorite shows are The Big Bang Theory, The Office, Modern Family, and How I Met Your Mother. So anything that makes me laugh I love!
ReplyDeleteHey Guys, I'm Louis Levanti. I'm from Long Island, and you can probably assume that I have an accent because I've already been told multiple times. I am a Freshman TVR major hoping to minor in IMC. My top 3 favorite shows are Survivor, Big Brother, and The Walking Dead. Survivor and Big Brother are 2 of my favorite shows because I have always been interested in reality based competition series'. I love the way they are put together, the way the cast has to be very strategic, manipulative, and even dishonest, and the excitement it brings me every week. I hope to eventually be casted for 1, if not both of these reality shows. The Walking Dead is also one of my favorites because it has such a great storyline, it isn't all about the zombies. The way the characters have to get passed the external conflict of the zombies while dealing with the internal conflicts within their little group is very dramatic and suspenseful at times. I also love how you're always left with a cliffhanger after most episodes, this is the suspense I love.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm Anthony Spina, and I'm from Buffalo. My top three television shows are The King of Queens, Family Guy, and The Cleveland Show. I love King of Queens because Kevin James is the funniest guy on the planet, and I can't get enough Family Guy and The Cleveland Show because Seth MacFarlane is an animation genius.
