Set 400 years in the future, the show follows the adventures of the Orville, a not-so-top-of-the-line exploratory ship in Earth's interstellar Fleet. Facing cosmic challenges from without and within, this motley crew of space explorers will boldly go where no comedic drama has gone before.

The Harper brothers Charlie and Alan are almost opposites but form a great team. They have little in common except their dislike for their mundane, maternally cold and domineering mother, Evelyn. Alan, a compulsively neat chiropractor and control-freak, is thrown out by his manipulative wife Judith who nevertheless gets him to pay for everything and do most jobs in the house. Charlie is a freelance jingle composer and irresistible Cassanova who lives in a luxurious beach-house and rarely gets up before noon. Charlie "temporarily" allows Alan and his son Jake, a food-obsessed, lazy kid who shuttles between his parents, to move in with them after Alan's separation/divorce. The sitcom revolves around their conflicting lifestyles, raising Jake (who has the efficient, caring dad while having a ball with his fun-loving sugar uncle who teaches him boyish things), and bantering with Evelyn and various other friends and family. Other fairly regular characters include Charlie's cleaning lady Berta and his rich, self-confessed stalker neighbor Rose who often sneaks in to spy on Charlie.

After centuries of quarreling, Stefan and Damon Salvatore return to their original town of Mystic Fall, Virginia. Stefan, the selfless, brave, guilt-ridden brother, meets a high school girl named Elena Gilbert whom he instantly falls in love with, while Damon, the gorgeous, dangerous and selfish vampire, is after his brother's girl to pay him back for making him turn into a vampire in 1864.

2009 American supernatural teen drama television series

In her mid-30s she is sentenced to spend time in a minimum-security women's prison in New York for her association with a drug runner 10 years earlier.

The past, present, and future lives of surviving Oceanic Flight 815 passengers are dramatically intertwined as a fight for survival ensues in a quest for answers after crashlanding on a mysterious island. Each discovery prompts yet more secrets, as the hastily-formed colony search for a way off the island, or is this their home?

Ross Geller, Rachel Green, Monica Geller, Joey Tribbiani, Chandler Bing, and Phoebe Buffay are six twenty-somethings living in New York City. Over the course of 10 years and seasons, these friends go through life lessons, family, love, drama, friendship, and comedy.

Told from the perspective of an unseen documentary filmmaker, the series offers an honest, often-hilarious perspective of family life. Parents Phil and Claire yearn for an honest, open relationship with their three kids, but a daughter who is trying to grow up too fast, another who is too smart for her own good, and a rambunctious young son make it challenging. Claire's dad Jay and his Latina wife Gloria are raising two sons together, but people sometimes believe Jay to be Gloria's father. Jay's gay son Mitchell and his partner Cameron have adopted a little Asian girl, completing one big -- straight, gay, multicultural, traditional -- happy family.

The story of two 30-year old bird women who live in the same apartment building.

Watch as Tim finds himself in several awkward situations in this HBO cartoon comedy.

Never seen it and I just don't want to. Stuff that simply doesn't appeal to me right off the jump. No idea if it's actually good or bad, the vibe I pick up is this just wasn't made for the likes of me.

Maybe it's got good hype around it. Maybe it's premise is so oddly niché that it piqued my interest. This is stuff I would like to check out, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Basically my media "to-do list" of metaphorical books I've judged by their covers.

Haven't Seen, But I Want To

Media I devoured veraciously in my youth, but haven't revisited in over a decade, fearing the worst. Perhaps I always had excellent taste and a keen eye for trite hackery, or maybe I ate garbage and loved it.

 From My Youth

Series that I watched the very beginning of and didn't hate it, but for one reason or another got distracted and never got around to finishing it. Maybe one day I'll have nothing else to watch and the mood will strike me. Or maybe I'll never learn how these stories end. Am I missing you or dodging a bullet? I may or may not ever not know.

Might Finish It One Day

Nothing brilliant here. Either by-the-numbers comfort food or gimmicks where the point was supposed to be, these shows may not exactly be works of art, but I'd be lying if i said they weren't crafted with some level of competence. Not interesting enough to keep me invested, but inoffensive enough to keep me from shutting it off. I may not be able to give these shows my stamp of approval, but I gave them hours of my time and even the serialized equivalent of instant mac n' cheese deserves some credit for that.
