Originally titled Townies, the animated Unsupervised was assigned to be a companion series to the popular Archer TV series running on the FX TV Network. One episode titled "Fresh Men" describes the theme of the show perfectly. These boys are 15 year olds who are struggling to make it through their teenage years and along the way, try to do the right thing without any aid from their parents. But as with the majority of teen agers (boys especially) they let their small head rule the big one, the one with the brain, and just can't quite get their "stuff" together. It's a shame to waste the acting talent, even just voices on an animated series, on this particular show because it's not going to last for long! Starring David Hornsby (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Six Feet Under) as Joel, Justin Long from Galaxy Quest, Live Free or Die Hard lends his voice to Gary, and Kristen Bell (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Burlesque) plays the part of Megan. Also in Unsupervised are Romany Malco and Sally Kellerman as Principal Stark.

"The Smurfs" is an American animated television series that premiered in 1981. The show follows the adventures of a group of small blue creatures called Smurfs, who live in a magical forest hidden away from humans. The show was based on a popular comic series created by Belgian cartoonist Peyo.

The Curse of Oak Island is a reality television show that airs on the History Channel. The show follows brothers Rick and Marty Lagina as they try to uncover the secrets of Oak Island, a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. The island has a long history of treasure hunting, dating back to the late 1700s, when legends of buried pirate treasure began to circulate. Despite many attempts over the years, no one has been able to locate any significant treasure on the island.

Either the CIA is just not that cool and relevant anymore, or Seth Macfarlane and associates are still mining the mother lode of 1970s humour as they develop episodes of "American Dad!" for Sunday nights on Fox. Television historians claim animated series have replaced sit-coms as television's principal source of informed social commentary; and "The Simpsons" have replaced "All in the Family" as the nation's premier satire, the weekly litmus test of American values and expectations. "American Dad!" shows little sign of aspiring to that lofty standing. Most episodes set the standard simply at "amusing." CIA agent and uber-patriot Stan Smith, the "American Dad!" anchors a predictably diverse, dysfunctional just-beyond-the-beltway family. Francine, his wife, appears to atone for her wild youth by remaining vacant, mostly boring in contemporary life. Hayley, Stan's college-aged radical daughter, naturally acts-out all the standard forms of late adolescent rebellion and family insurgency. And Steve, not surprisingly, enters puberty eager to live-up to Dad's expectations but congenitally incapable of coming even close. Holding its own in Fox's Sunday night animated line-up, "American Dad!" has improved in its several seasons on the air. Translation: "American Dad!" has evolved from "mediocre" to "not bad" as it has outgrown its abject dependence on cliches and stereotypes, freshened its subject matter and treatment, and drawn sharper edges on its characters. Still, the premises for "American Dad!" showed promise in 1973; in the new millennium, they seem a little tired.
