The world knows and loves Matt Groening for his unprecedented and unparalleled work on "The Simpsons." During the Fox Network's ambitious "Animation Domination" initiative, Groening teamed with David Cohen, creating a second hit animated series, "Futurama." Groening and Cohen described their wonderwork as "retrofuturistic," an amazingly apt oxymoron for a working class sitcom set in the thirty-first century. Apparently, blue collar labor will not evolve over the next thousand years: In "Futurama," a late 20th century pizza delivery guy is accidentally cryogenically frozen for a millennium; when he thaws and returns to consciousness, he finds a job at Planet Express, an inter-planetary delivery company. Not especially concerned with science, the writers focus the stories on the workplace trials and tribulations of the three central characters"”Fry, Leela, and Bender. Their future dramas strangely resemble every working person's today dramas. Although "Futurama" has moved up and down the dial, exiting Fox for Cartoon Network, and bidding farewell to Cartoon Network for a new home on "Comedy Central," it has held onto a fiercely loyal audience, and it especially has garnered unprecedented critical acclaim. In 2010, "Futurama" set a Guiness World Record for "Current Most Critically-Acclaimed Animated Series", adding to its eight Emmys and thirteen Annies.
The beautiful Elizabeth Montgomery is the mischievous Samantha, a witch who marries a mortal named Darrin Stephens. Much of the fun and supernatural antics come from the rest of Sam's family who are all witches or warlocks. Her family tends to think Samantha and Darrin are in a mixed marriage that will never work out and that she married beneath her. But they are in love and plan to work out their differences. Darrin will, of course, involve his boss, parents, friends, and neighbors in some unusual events caused by "spells" that are occasionally cast on him. With just a twitch of her nose Samantha Stephens can change things to suit her needs and this causes some hilarious consequences for those around her. As her magical skills continue to impress (and scare) Darrin she tries to use them sparingly but often finds it necessary to get herself out of some pretty silly situations. Her spells can be visually entertaining especially considering this series began way back in 1964. Great casting over the years including two Darrin's (Dick York who died was followed by Dick Sargent). Agnes Moorehead portrayed Sam's mother, also a witch.

While it aired, "Your Questions. Your Money" TV series, went live on Fox Business Network Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dagen McDowell, anchor for "Your Questions. Your Money," told viewers, "We're here for insight and inspiration." The questions and answers focused primarily on starting, managing, and growing small businesses, which McDowell equated with fulfillment of the American Dream. Her guests typically were entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. Although "Your Questions. Your Money" developed a fiercely loyal following, Fox elected not to renew the show when its contract expired at the end of the 2009 season. Dagen McDowell generally was more interesting than the advice she and her guests gave. McDowell graduated from Wake Forest University with a degree in Art History, but she worked her way up through the ranks of financial reporters, ultimately parlaying good looks and a gentle Virginia accent into a regular spot on "Your World with Neil Cavuto." McDowell sparked serious brouhaha in the financial community when she compared taxing AIG executive bonuses with sexual abuse, commenting, "You don't want to think, if you get in bed with Uncle Sam, he is going to strip you naked, chain you to the bed,"¦then take nasty pictures of you, and then put them on the Internet."

The producers' synopsis of "American Greed" says simply, "Some people will do anything for money." Each episode demonstrates just how far the word "anything" can stretch to accommodate criminal mischief. Produced by Bill Kurtis productions and definitely imprinted with many of Kurtis's signature touches, "American Greed" has done several special in-depth reports on the "con of all cons," the Bernie Madoff scheme and his subsequent life behind bars. An equal opportunity exposer, "American Greed" has detailed the cunning manipulations and runaway narcissism that drove scandals at World.Com, Tyco, and HealthSouth. In between big-print headline stories, "American Greed" goes after "ordinary" frauds"”generally less costly but no less ingenious and flagrantly outrageous than the headline grabbers. Insurance frauds are common, as are fake doctors"”even fake surgeons. Not surprisingly, "American Greed" has revealed the wit and wickedness in all manner of nicely dressed Ponzi schemes, and the show has penetrated far deeper into sophisticated identity theft than any other investigative series. Perhaps most significantly, "American Greed" marks the first in a bunch of newsy and documentary programs produced exclusively for CNBC, as the struggling network attempts to reconcile its identity crisis with hard-hitting primetime programming to complement its daytime financial reporting.
Remember PBS? They bring you "Sesame Street" and "Antiques Roadshow," and they are the guys who allegedly have no commercials. Remember them? Struggling to keep its tenuous hold on the margins of viewers' consciousness, holding at least a place discernible with peripheral vision, PBS now adds some spice for foodies. Starring on "Made in Spain," real chef of DC Jose Andres "brings the exciting flavors of his native Spain to the American audience with easy and informative recipes created in his Washington, DC, kitchen using products found here in the U.S." According to the PBS website, each episode presents an easy-to-follow recipe for a great Spanish dish, which would-be Spaniards can whip up in their own heartland kitchens. In addition to whetting your appetite for something spicy and savory, "Made in Spain" may trigger episodes of wanderlust, because it shows "treasured Spanish locations," where each episode's dishes originated. For a nation still convinced Taco Bell serves "authentic" Mexican food, "Made in Spain" may seem just a little too piquant for the palette, but Jose Andres himself may become one of America's favorite ethnic dishes.
"Wall Street Warriors" brings renegade real-life Oliver Stone characters to life, more or less in living colour, showing the hyper-adrenalized world of Wall Street trading. To no one's particular surprise, the real-life version of "greed is good" typically engrosses and terrifies more than the imaginary versions ever did, making for excellent television if not financial security. "Wall Street Warriors" looks at finance and the market from the inside out, showing the intense competition among brokers and traders in exquisite detail, also taking the true measure of how much power Wall Streeters wield. "Wall Street Warriors" debuted in 2006, more or less at the height of "derivative madness" and Lehman Brothers' runaway freight train. Not surprisingly, the "Wall Street Warriors" stayed with their party lines and best pitches as long as they could. Also not surprisingly, "Wall Street Warriors" went dark just as things got interesting. Its last episode aired in December, 2008, right at the peak of the markets' historic meltdowns.
Although network executives axed the broadcast in June, 2010, "The Dave Ramsey Show" still occasionally pops-up in reruns on the Fox Business Network. Extremely well-adapted to the desires of his exceptionally devoted core audience, "The Dave Ramsey Show" began with a monologue cum homily, and then devoted the rest of its time to answering callers and e-mailers question. Ramsey's down-to-earth, personal touch with questioners made good viewing as well as good advice. Meanwhile, Dave Ramsey, the pundit without the television program, remains one of America's most popular and most trusted financial advisors, and his daily radio program owns its time slot, boasting at least three million loyal listeners. Ramsey has built his reputation on the gospel of debt-free living, and he gives sound step-by-step guidance to listeners, showing them how to save, how to eliminate debt, and ultimately how to build wealth. Unabashedly Christian, Ramey tempers his sound fiscal advice with timely and well-chosen spiritual guidance. Ramsey travels extensively, delivering his seminar series "Financial Peace University," always drawing sell-out crowds.
