6teen
(Teletoon/Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network) November 7, 2004 February 11,
2010 |
An animated situation comedy for children,
pre-teens, and teenagers. The plots take place entirely in a
gigantic shopping mall. The mall is based on the Eaton Centre in Toronto, Ontario. The series follows the
cast of six sixteen-year-old friends in their first part-time jobs
and teenage lives.
6teen is focused
on the common problems related to teenagers. The characters, Nikki,
Jonesy, Jen, Jude, Wyatt, and Caitlin deal with first crushes, first
jobs, first bank accounts and a sweet taste of freedom. Nikki finds
herself stuck working at The Khaki Barn, a store that she wouldn't
be caught dead shopping in, while Jen has found her dream job at a
sports shop, but makes some mistakes. Jonesy manages to get fired
from a new store in every single episode, Wyatt's hopelessly in love
with his older co-worker, and Caitlin endures the daily humiliation
of working in the lowest store in the mall's hierarchy of cool The
Big Squeeze, a giant lemon.
In the USA, 6teen first premiered on Nickelodeon on December 18, 2005
and was removed from the schedule on May 13, 2006 before being
removed completely in 2007 before the series' run could be
completed. 6teen was previously aired
on The N in reruns on December 26,
2005 until July 28, 2006. In the US 6teen repremiered but this time on Cartoon Network on October 23,
2008. On Cartoon Network, 6teen had
frequent airings weekly since its premiere on October 23, 2008, but
got removed from the schedule in mid-November 2009. Then it returned
with frequent airings in mid-February 2010, and once again got
removed after its series finale on June 21, 2010. In January 2011,
6teen returned for one month only to
Cartoon Network, but got removed, with other cancelled series, due
to a schedule
revamp. |
AMERICAN DAD!
(FOX) February 6,
2005 present |
This
animated series centers on the domestic life of its nominal title
character, Stan Smith, a staunchly conservative, Republican, CIA agent and self-proclaimed
patriot. He is married to Francine Smith, a ditzy
housewife who is trying to make up for a wild youth. Their two
children are Hayley, a passionately liberal college-aged activist
who Stan seems to be in tension with often, and Steve, a nerdy, wimpy high
schooler who constantly attempts to live up to Stan's expectations
but can never really measure up to the high standards in place for
him. The Smith family is also in possession of two bizarre nonhumans
Roger, an escaped alien from Area
51 whom Stan is covertly housing in defiance of his
employer due to the fact that Stan owes Roger a "life debt" (until
he saves Roger's life and then admits he likes Roger), and Klaus, an anthropomorphic goldfish whom the CIA implanted
with the brain of an East German Olympic ski jumper,
who seems to have a romantic interest in Francine.
The Smith family resides on 43 Cherry
Street, in the fictional community of Langley Falls, Virginia in the
Washington, D.C. metropolitan
area. The town name is a composite of Langley and Great Falls, two unincorporated
communities located in Fairfax County.
Plots generally center on the misadventures
of various family members in their respective realms. Recurring
themes include Stan's desire to see Steve mature properly, Roger's
desires to establish a life outside of the house, Francine's desire
of breaking out of an overly structured lifestyle, Hayley's desire
to rebel against her father's politics, and Steve's desire to
finally become one of the cool kids and "get some boob". Stan's
conservatism is treated as buffoonish and self-abnegating. |
AMERICAN HORROR
STORY (FX) October 5, 2011
present |
An anthology horror-drama television series created and produced by
Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. The first season centered on the Harmon
family: Ben, Vivien and their daughter Violet, who move from
Boston to Los Angeles after Vivien had a miscarriage and Ben had an
affair. They move into a restored mansion, unaware that the home is
haunted by its former inhabitants.
|
ARCHER (FX)
September 17, 2009
present |
Set at the
International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS) in New York City, suave but incredibly self-centered master spy
Sterling Archer deals with global espionage; his domineering, hypersexual mother/boss, Malory Archer; his ex-girlfriend
(and fellow ISIS agent), Lana Kane; her ISIS accountant boyfriend
(later ex) Cyril Figgis; and a less-than-masculine code name,
"Duchess". The show has an unusual style and ambiguous time setting,
in which technologies/clothing styles and historical backdrops of
different decades coincide. The characters wear 1960s clothing and
hair styles and several episodes feature references to the Soviet Union as a current nation and to Fidel Castro as the current leader of Cuba. The technological sophistication within the
series varies, with characters using computers that are dated (e.g.
reel-to-reel mainframe systems, dot-matrix printers and punchcards), but also cell phones, GPS devices, and laser
gunsights. In addition, modern day insults are prevalent (such as
"suck it", "screw you", and "douche bag"). Adam Reed was asked about the conflicting
style, and concluded, "I just think it's
ill-defined." |
AUSTIN &
ALLY (DISNEY CHANNEL) December 2,
2011 present |
Set in
Miami, Austin & Ally
is a multi-camera comedy about the unique relationship between a
teen aspiring songwriter with stage fright named Ally, and Austin, an aspiring singer who
obtains celebrity status overnight after performing one of Ally's
songs online. The two form a partnership and struggle with how to
keep Austin's newfound fame and profit from it, while keeping up
with their high school and everyday lives. The series has been
described as a "pint-sized" version of HBO's hit comedy-drama Entourage. |
BIG TIME
RUSH (Nickelodeon) November 28, 2009
present |
The series stars Kendall Schmidt as Kendall
Knight, Carlos Pena, Jr. as Carlos
Garcia, James Maslow as James Diamond,
and Logan Henderson as Logan
Mitchell, and the other main characters Ciara Bravo as Katie Knight, Stephen Kramer Glickman as
Gustavo Rocque, and Tanya Chisholm as Kelly
Wainwright, Gustavo's assistant.
The band is led by Kendall, a boy, who was
initially the only person offered an opportunity by Gustavo after
being impressed by his extemporaneous performance. Kendall agrees on
the condition that all four friends can accompany him to Los
Angeles, along with his mother (Challen Cates) and sister. The
series navigates through their antics and schemes as residents at
the Palm Woods Hotel and students at the Palm Woods School, both
establishments intended for aspiring actors, singers, and other
performing artists. On the road to becoming famous, the boys
routinely come into conflict with their overbearing, shrill, but
ultimately caring producer and his well-meaning assistant, as well
as Arthur Griffin (Matt Riedy), the CEO of the
fictional corporation RCM CBT Global Net Sanyoid, an eccentric
billionaire who is forever threatening the integrity of the music
division for which Gustavo and Kelly work.
Outside the recording studio, the boys are
habitually confronted Mr. Bitters (David Anthony Higgins), the Palm
Woods manager, who covets their apartment and continually searches
for reasons to evict them. Each episode centers around a problem
that the boys attempt to resolve with a ridiculous scheme. Instead
of fighting with her brother as would a stereotypical younger
sibling, Kendall's sister Katie, is by far the sharpest person on
the show and often functions as a deus ex machina whose assistance
is valuable to the boys' plans. Many episodes end with a music
video-like segment in which the boys sing one of their songs. Over
time, elements of the show have disappeared, creating the show to be
more dramatic and focused on one
thing. |
COMMUNITY (NBC) COMING TO
THE MC IN JUNE 2012 |
Community
centers on Jeff Winger (Joel McHale), a suspended lawyer
who attends Greendale Community College after it is discovered that
he falsely claimed to have a bachelor's degree. The series focuses
on the experiences of Jeff and the study group he accidentally forms
while pursuing Britta Perry (Gillian Jacobs), a former
anarchist trying to get her life back on track. The other members of
Jeff's study group include Pierce Hawthorne (Chevy Chase), a millionaire on a
late-in-life voyage of self-discovery; Annie Edison (Alison Brie), a young
straight-laced student and former prescription drug addict; Troy
Barnes (Donald Glover), a former high
school star quarterback-turned-nerd; Shirley Bennett (Yvette Nicole Brown), a single
mother and vocal Christian going to school to jumpstart her brownie
business; and Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi), a
pop-culture-obsessed film student with an evident developmental
disorder. The group originally unites as a study group for the
Spanish 101 class taught by egomaniacal teacher Ben "Seρor" Chang
(Ken Jeong), and quickly become
friends. |

ENTHUSIASM (HBO) October 15, 2000
present (HBO) / Summer 2011 - Present (The
MC) |

fictionalized version of
himself. Similar to the real-life David, the character is well-known

David's main confidant on the show is his
manager, Jeff Greene (played by Curb
executive producer Jeff Garlin), who has a
temperamental wife Susie (Susie Essman). A large portion
of the show's many guest stars are various
celebrities and public figures, such as actors, comedians,
sportspeople and politicians, who play themselves. These include
David's long-time friend Richard Lewis, as well as Ted Danson and his wife Mary Steenburgen, who all have
recurring roles as fictionalized versions of
themselves. |

is) out to get him. There is another regular character, Elise,
Chris' wife, who has some secrets and plots of her own. The show is

DEAD LIKE ME
(SHOWTIME ORIGINAL SERIES/SYFY) June 27, 2003
October 31, 2004 |
Georgia Lass
is aloof and emotionally distant from her family and shies away from
her life. After dropping out of college, she takes a temp job
through Happy Time Temporary Services. On her lunch break during her
first day, she is hit and killed by a toilet seat from the
de-orbiting of the Mir space station. She is informed shortly after her death that,
rather than moving on to the "great beyond", she will become "a grim reaper" in the
"External Influence" division, responsible for reaping souls of
people who die in accidents (many of which are of a Rube Goldberg-style in their complexity), suicides and homicides. Through the first season, George has trouble
adjusting to her circumstances: collecting souls, while holding a
day job at Happy Time. By the second season, she has mostly adjusted
to her new role, though still has unresolved issues with her life
and her afterlife. George's family is struggling to deal with her
death. Her mother, Joy, is depressed, and visibly repressing it,
while Clancy, her father, is having an affair. George's sister,
Reggie, acts out stealing toilet seats from neighbors and
school, and hanging them on a tree before being sent to therapy by Joy. She clings to
the belief that George visits her, but is starting to lie to cover
this up. At the start of the second season, the family begins to
break apart as Joy and Clancy divorce.
All of the main characters have issues with
their life after death, but cope with it in different ways: Mason
resorts to alcohol and drugs; Daisy puts on a veneer of perkiness;
and Roxy is physically and verbally aggressive. Rube and George are
more straightforward about their
sadness. |

travel experiment gone wrong, where the characters involved retain
memories of the previous
timeline. |

FAIRLY ODDPARENTS,
THE (NICKELODEON) March 30,
2001 present |
An American animated television series
created by Butch Hartman about the
adventures of Timmy Turner, who is granted fairy godparents named Cosmo and Wanda. Over the course
of the series, Timmy makes many
enemies. At the beginning, Vicky was the main, and apparently only,
antagonist. As the series progressed, however, more villains were
added. For example, his teacher, Mr. Crocker, firmly
believes in fairy godparents and has been searching for them a very
long time, suspecting that Timmy has fairy godparents. He is
dangerous to Timmy because, according to "Da Rules", a large
rulebook that defines what children can and cannot wish for and how
fairy godparents must behave, if the child reveals that he or she
has fairies, or if someone discovers their fairies, he or she will
lose his fairies forever. At his school, he is often bullied by
Francis, a vicious boy who claims to be the toughest student in school, but reveals to Timmy
that he only takes out his anger on him because of his rough home
life and abusive parents, proving he is somewhere in-between as a
protagonist and an antagonist. Jorgen Von Strangle, an enormous and
tough fairy with an Austrian accent, often described
like Arnold Schwarzenegger,
personally dislikes Timmy and his fairies (although in "Teeth for
Two" he states Cosmo and Wanda are his closest friends, claiming he
punches many others). Timmy is also loathed by his unwished wishes,
for wishing them out of existence. Well into the series, Timmy is
introduced to his archenemy, Remy Buxaplenty. He
is joined by his fairy and ex-boyfriend of Wanda, Juandissimo
Maqnifico. Remy is very jealous of Timmy for having two fairies
while he only has one. He is also jealous of his loving parents.
Remy's parents are constantly ignoring him, which led to him getting
fairies. Juandissimo is constantly trying to woo Wanda, much to
Cosmo's annoyance. The series started out as cartoon segments that
ran from September 4, 1998 to March 23, 2001 on Oh Yeah! Cartoons and was
later picked up as a
series. |
FALLING
SKIES (TNT) June 19, 2011
present |
Falling Skies
tells the story of the aftermath of a global invasion by
extraterrestrials (including the insectoid multi-legged beings known
as "skitters," a race of humanoid gray-skinned beings that seem to
be their commanders, and mechanical attack drones called "mechs")
that neutralizes the world's power grid and technology, destroys the
combined militaries of all the world's countries, and apparently
kills over 90% of the human population, all within a few days. The
invasion and the aliens' objectives are not explained, though the
aliens try to round up children between the ages of 8 and 16 and
attach a biomechanical obedience device onto (and into) their
spines, referred to as a "harness." The harness controls the child's
mind, and forcibly removing it instantly kills the child. The story
picks up six months after the invasion and follows a group of
survivors who band together to fight back. The group, known as the
Second Massachusetts (an allusion to a historical regiment from the
Continental Army ), is led by
retired Captain Weaver and Boston University history professor Tom
Mason who, while in search of his son Ben, must put his extensive
knowledge of military history into practice as one of the leaders of
the resistance movement. |
FUTURAMA (FOX/COMEDY
CENTRAL) March 28, 1999 August 10, 2003; March
23, 2008 present
| |
|
An American animated science fiction sitcom created by Matt Groening and developed by
Groening and David X. Cohen for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The
series follows the adventures of a late 20th-century New York City pizza delivery boy, Philip J. Fry, who, after being
unwittingly cryogenically frozen for one
thousand years, finds employment at Planet Express, an
interplanetary delivery company in the retro-futuristic 31st century.
The series was envisioned by Groening in the late 1990s while
working on The Simpsons, later bringing
Cohen aboard to develop storylines and characters to pitch the show
to Fox. In the United States, the series aired on Fox from March 28, 1999 to
August 10, 2003 before ceasing production. Futurama was then aired in reruns on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim from 2003 to 2007,
until the network's contract expired. It was revived in 2007 as four
direct-to-video films; the last
of the four was released in early 2009. Comedy Central entered into an
agreement with 20th Century Fox Television to
syndicate the existing episodes and air the films as 16 new,
half-hour episodes.
In June 2009, producing studio 20th Century Fox announced that
Comedy Central had picked up the show for 26 new half-hour episodes,
which began airing in 2010 and 2011. The show has since been renewed
for a seventh season, set to air in
2012 and 2013. |
GAME OF THRONES
(HBO) April 17, 2011
present |
An American medieval fantasy television
series created for HBO by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. It is an adaptation
of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin's series of
fantasy novels, the first of which is titled A Game of Thrones. The cable
television series closely follows the multiple storylines of the A Song of Ice and Fire series, and
author Martin has stated that the show's pilot script was very
faithful to his work. Set in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, Game of Thrones chronicles the violent
dynastic struggles among the kingdom's noble families for control of
the Iron Throne; as the series opens, additional threats from the
snow and ice covered region north of Westeros and from the eastern
continent across a narrow sea are simultaneously beginning to
rise. |
GENERATOR REX
(CARTOON NETWORK) April 23, 2010
present |
An American animated television series for Cartoon Network and is created
by "Man of Action" (creators of the Ben 10 Franchise). John Fang of
Cartoon Network Studios serves
as supervising director. It is inspired by the comic M.
Rex, published by Image Comics in 1999. Generator Rex unlike most animated series
is rated TV-PG. Five years prior to the series, a massive explosion
released high concentrations of nanites into the atmosphere,
infecting almost every living thing on Earth. These nanites may
randomly activate inside their hosts, mutating the subject into a
monster known as an E.V.O. (short for "Exponentially Variegated Organism"). Though some E.V.O.s retain
human-level intelligence, most go berserk and cause widespread
destruction. An international organization known as Providence
exists to combat the E.V.O. threat. Rex is a 15-year-old (later in
the series to turn 16) amnesiac teenager who is an E.V.O. Unlike
most E.V.O.s, he lacks any physical deformation. He is also able to
control his active nanites, allowing him to manifest a wide variety
of various bio-mechanical abilities and powers. However, Rex is
truly unique because he has the power/ability to deactivate nanites
inside other E.V.O.s, effectively curing them of their monstrous
mutations. Working for Providence under Agent Six, Rex uses his
unique abilities to stop and cure rampant E.V.O.s. His archenemy is
Van Kleiss, an E.V.O. who hates Providence. He believes nanite
mutations are a gift and should be utilized accordingly. Van Kleiss
is connected not only to the original Event which released the
nanites upon the world, but to Rex
himself. |

GOOD LUCK CHARLIE (DISNEY
CHANNEL) April 4, 2010

The series centers on the Duncan family, who
are still adjusting to the birth of their fourth child, Charlotte
"Charlie" Duncan (Mia Talerico). When parents Amy
(Leigh-Allyn Baker), a nurse, and
Bob (Eric Allan Kramer), an
exterminator, return to work, they ask their three older childrenPJ
(Jason Dolley), Teddy (Bridgit Mendler), and Gabe (Bradley Steven Perry)to help
raise their little sister. At the same time, Teddy, PJ, and Gabe try
to deal with school and typical social challenges in their life. The
events of each episode become material for a video diary Teddy is
making for her younger sister. Teddy hopes the videos will provide
useful advice for Charlie after they have both grown up and Teddy
has moved out. Also at the end of each video, she (and/or other cast
members) states, "Good luck, Charlie" or may even say it indirectly
such as "Wish them good luck, Charlie". During the movie, Amy
reveals to Teddy that she is pregnant with her fifth child, which
Teddy is trying to adjust to but this story plot will not be carried
into the actual series until the third
season. |
HAPPY ENDINGS
(ABC) April 13, 2011

|
The series revolves around the lives of six
friends living in Chicago: married yuppies Brad
(Damon Wayans Jr.) and Jane (Eliza Coupe); Alex (Elisha Cuthbert), Jane's ditzy
sister; Dave, (Zachary Knighton) a food truck
owner who used to be engaged to Alex; Dave's gay roommate, Max (Adam Pally); and their
chronically single friend, Penny (Casey Wilson). The series begins
with the group dealing with the breakup of the couple that first
brought them all together, Dave and Alex. This leaves the rest of
the group (Max, Brad, Jane, and Penny) in an awkward position of
either trying to stay together as friends or having to choose sides.
Dave and Alex decide to stay friends, but there are many more
complications down the road. The initial "Dave and Alex wedding
breakup" premise, which was heavily featured in the early episodes
of the series, has been all but abandoned, as the show's focus
became more about six best friends hanging out together, in the
similar vein of ensemble comedies like Friends and How I Met Your Mother.
Typically, each episode features two plot lines, in which varying
combinations of the six characters find themselves involved.
