Long Story Short is a Netflix adult animated comedy-drama created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, his first new animated series since the acclaimed BoJack Horseman. Trading Hollywood satire for something more intimate, the show is a warm, melancholy, and very funny portrait of a single family told across the sweep of its members' entire lives.
The series follows the Schwooper family, jumping freely and non-chronologically through the decades, from childhood and adolescence to marriage, parenthood, and old age, so that a character might be a squabbling kid in one scene and a weary adult in the next. This restless time-hopping structure lets the show explore how families carry their history with them, how old wounds and inside jokes echo across generations, and how small moments accumulate into a life. Its voice cast includes Abbi Jacobson, Ben Feldman, Lisa Edelstein, Paul Reiser, and Nicole Byer.
Rooted in Bob-Waksberg's own Jewish American upbringing, Long Story Short earned strong reviews for balancing sharp comedy with genuine emotional depth, the same alchemy that made his previous work resonate. It is streaming on Netflix.

Drawn in retro-sixties comic book style, rendered irreverent and ironic by exceptionally good writing from "Simpsons" renegade Devin Clark, "Ugly Americans" TV show made its debut on Comedy Central during March, 2010. Matt Oberg lends his vocal stylings to the main character, Mark Lilly, harried social worker at the "Department of Integration," the all-purpose welfare agency for the citizens of a parallel-universe New York liberally populated with demons, zombies, wizards, monsters, and other chimerical creatures. Up-and-coming comedienne Natasha Leggero, one of Chelsea Handler's coterie, gives voice and life to Callie Maggotbone, Mark's immediate supervisor and sometimes lover. Callie claims distinction as the succubus daughter of the Devil and a human mother; not surprisingly, she is prone to extreme mood swings. Newcomer to the big-bad city, Mark, an intrepid optimist and wanna-be do-gooder, remains barbarously untutored in the ways of his city's multi-species immigrants, and his mistakes naturally multiply into comic misadventures. Hardly Saturday-morning kiddie fare, "Ugly Americans" deals as directly and explicitly with characters' bizarre sexual proclivities as with their sociopathy.

Only the coolest, best-wired people can connect with infoMania, because it airs on Current TV. Only a handful of service providers include the cutting-edge interactive multi-platform network among their programming options, and Current TV is available in just a few major markets. Sad, because Current TV gives its viewers"”"fit audience though few," as Milton wrote--a promising, privileged glimpse of what YouTube might become if only it had professional content producers and quality standards. Current TV takes irreverent cable programming to the next level, adding more wit, intelligence, sophistication, and vulgarity. In its early days, infoMania aired as "Google Current," 3-5 minute vignettes at the top of each broadcast hour. Now a weekly half-hour collection of "news" stories, viral videos, and commentary, infoMania scathingly satirizes the substance and self-importance of cable news networks. If the show seems to bear uncanny resemblance to The Daily Show, credit its creative DNA: Madeleine Smithberg, co-creator of The Daily Show, served as the show's first executive producer. infoMania devotees have complained that the network does not offer entire episodes on its website; but, working a market strategy designed to maximize audiences for the regularly scheduled broadcast, Current TV has maintained its policy of showing only individual clips from each infoMania episode.
Science fiction may bewitch, intrigue or beguile, but real science compels. "Nova" is the living proof. Aired in more than 100 countries, PBS "Nova" is the world's most watched documentary program and its most highly decorated, Humankind has yet to develop a television award "Nova" has not won"¦repeatedly. And for good reason: On "Nova," real scientists realistically discuss real areas of scientific investigation where real researchers are making significant discoveries. Now more than twenty years old, Nova's "The Miracle of Life" remains the most accurate and sensitive representation of the human reproductive process ever produced. Similarly, Nova's "Spy Machines" si generally regarded as the best-ever concise summary of "the Cold War" and the American-Soviet arms race. "Nova" reporters and photographers regularly take curiosity and cameras into places other brave correspondents would not even think about venturing, and they come back with breathtaking footage and groundbreaking reportage. Although American Public Broadcasting is tragically embroiled in a nasty political wrangle, critics and fans cling to their faith that "Nova" somehow can rise above the fray and continue its unrivalled work.
In its first few seasons, "SpongeBob Square Pants" proved the old adage that children's programs are wasted on children, commanding a loyal following among parents and especially among college students hungry for quality entertainment. The dialogue and allusions that flew right over children's heads landed squarely in adults' faces. In fact, "SpongeBob Square Pants" became so popular among America's undergraduates it aired for a while on MTV as well as Nickelodeon. SpongeBob lives in a pineapple under the sea, working diligently and enthusiastically as a fry cook at Bikini Bottom's most successful fast-food emporium. Patrick, a less-than-gifted starfish, is SpongeBob's best friend and favorite co-conspirator"”naturally the show's resident slacker. Squidward, an undersea relic of Spiro Agnew's "effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals," consistently antagonizes, undermines, and cheap-shots SpongeBob and Patrick. Of course, the series' unmistakable anthropomorphism contributes substantially to its success. "SpongeBob Square Pants" remains Nickelodeon's highest rated show, the most widely distributed MTV Network property, and one of television's most successful animated franchises.
