Diff’rent Strokes (TV sitcom)

Gilligan’s Island - Pass the Vegetables Please TV Show
This episode is rather interesting. I think the producer is presenting a real problem that we are fighting with in our world. The use of experimental growth experiments on our food. And he actually poses a real problem in an appropriate manner somehow intermingling the idea into a family …
Fruits Basket Anime Series, 2011
Fruits Basket, released in 2011, is an absolutely adorable anime. Most anime are not appropriate for children because of adult themes.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Helpless
One of the things I never liked about Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the fact the main character has almost superhero-like powers to help her fight evil; something that gives her almost too much of an advantage.

Star Trek: That Which Survives TV Show

Grey’s Anatomy (TV series)
