"How I Met Your Father" is an upcoming American television series that is a spin-off of the popular sitcom "How I Met Your Mother". The show is set to follow the story of a new group of friends living in New York City and their adventures in dating and relationships. Unlike the original series, this time the story is told from the perspective of a woman as she recounts to her children how she met their father.

When single dad George Altman finds condoms in his 16 year old daughter Tessa's dresser drawer he flips out! Not wanting her to turn into a "bad girl" he up and moves them to a suburban neighborhood away from the big city (New York). This leads the smart alecky teenager to conclude they must now live in the perfect town, one where the Stepford Wives reside. The mothers and housewives all appear to have implants in various places and wear the same designer clothing. When the ladies discover that Tessa's father is single they go right to work welcoming him to their neighborhood with pot roasts and plenty of other offerings. Well written and filled with some interesting comparisons to "real life" in many towns, Suburgatory has a biting comedy that is a fun and welcome addition to evening TV fare. Starring Jane Levy (Shameless) as Tessa Altman, Jeremy Sisto (Law & Order) plays the dad George Altman, right across the street neighbors Dallas and Dalia Royce are played by Cheryl Hines from Brothers & Sisters (Dallas) and Carly Chaikin (The Last Song) is Dalia, daughter of Dallas who quickly becomes enemies with Tessa.

As he championed "the new journalism" in the late sixties, Tom Wolfe suggested no one ever would write anything truly compelling"”fact or fiction"”about the suburbs; he asserted, "There is no life there." During the New Depression, however, the suburbs have gone ghetto, suddenly teeming with life and depravity; and television writers are producing all kinds of compelling stuff about what they have discovered beyond the white picket fences. Witness Showtime's smash-hit "Weeds," the life and times of a "proper" suburban widow keeping-up appearances while she deals more dope than a six-pack of Mexican cartels. As in "The Office," the basic premise for "Weeds" is an import from Great Britain, adapted from the British film Saving Grace which showed a widow and her gardener conspiring to maintain the widow's lifestyle by supplying the locals with their favorite herbal refreshment. Critics frequently compare "Weeds" with American Beauty for its exploitation of the idea "Normal is the face we wear to cover how f***ed-up we are." By contrast with "Desperate Housewives," Nancy Botwin, our entrepreneurial heroine, has far more good reason for desperation than her difficulty achieving orgasm; she has a house, a mortgage, two sons, and a reputation. Since Bonfire of the Vanities tanked and "Weeds" flourished, Tom Wolfe may have to consider the distinct possibility that there is no life in Manhattan.

M*A*S*H was a TV show that ran from 1972 to 1983, set during the Korean War. It followed the lives of the staff working at a mobile army surgical hospital (M*A*S*H) unit.

Fresh Off the Boat is an American television sitcom that aired on ABC from 2015 to 2020. The show is loosely based on the life of Eddie Huang, a Taiwanese-American chef and writer, and his book of the same name.

Called an American documentary, the TV program is hosted by comedians/magicians Penn & Teller, best known for their show in Las Vegas. Not quite a program about politics and almost akin to the exploitation of paranormal events and pseudoscientific ideas, the "BS" show has captured a large audience since first airing in 2003. The application of some critical thought into various misconceptions, in other words "critical thinking" added into the concept of "BS" which is all around us constantly, attempts to clarify some of the confusion. Such subject matter as animal rights, environmentalism, gun control, organic food, and even the war on drugs are explored and debunked by (self proclaimed) experts on a wide variety of subjects in each episode. Penn & Teller: Bullshit is popular around the globe and viewed in Ireland, New Zealand, Mexico, Denmark, Iceland, Columbia, Canada, Brazil, and Australian each week. The hosts bring up subjects not merely to "expose the truth" but show some to be misleading, overemphasized, or even unnecessary interruptions in life.
