Review of Stranger Things 2
I found Stranger Things 2 bigger and better than 1. 1. More science, less metaphysics in 2 than 1. For me, this makes the horror impact of the story even stronger. Will is infected by a kind of virus from the other dimension. That means there's a logical way to fight it — in this case, heat. And this in turn means our heroes have a logical chance of winning, in addition to the supernatural, supra-physical, which also plays a major role, in the person of Eleven, AKA Jane.

The Day 'The Simpsons' Died
If you ask many people what their favourite animated series is, some will say South Park, others will say Family Guy, but for most who grew up in the 90s, the answer will undoubtedly be The Simpsons. A concept that first debuted as animated shorts on The Tracy Ullman Show in 1987, The Simpsons has become the most recognisable television family in history, as well as one of the longest running TV shows ever. You don't get to that point by being mediocre, though; you get there by being innovative and truly remarkable in every way, and that's absolutely what The Simpsons was; I place emphasis on the was.

Disney XD Is Airing 'Ducktales' 2017 Out Of Order, and that's a Big Problem
So far, the reviews for Disney's Ducktales reboot have been trending towards the positive. The stories are engaging, and the voice work top-notch. The animation style and character designs, while quite different from the original and a turn-off for some older viewers, are perfectly geared towards the young fans the show will need to attract if it is to survive beyond its already confirmed second season. Right now, it seems there is only one major factor counting against Ducktales' success: The episodes are being aired in the wrong order.

Top 7 TV Mothers
When we watch TV, one of the things we always pay attention is the mothers on TV. Sometimes these mothers are to some of us the ideal mother. We either want these mothers or we want to be these mothers. We kind of adopt these mothers as our own and envision what our life would be like if they were our mother. I've watched a fair amount of TV myself and there's been a few mothers that I would love to be when I become a mother.

'Will & Grace': Reviving One of TV's Greatest Sitcoms
After ending in 2006, Will & Grace is still held dear to many fans (including myself who owns all eight seasons) who watched religiously back in the early 2000s, continue to love watching a single gay man and his straight best friend continue to struggle with the dating scene in New York City.

The Tale of 2 GH Fanbases
"You want the fans to feel something, even if it's anger, it means they are watching!" Anthony Geary, General Hospital's (arguably) most famous alum once said. It seems that those words are echoing around the writer's room these days, as the so-called "Tale of Two Jasons" gets going. The story has fans of the show divided into two camps; the "Billy Miller is Jason" camp and "Steve Burton is the only Jason" camp. By the logic of Mr. Geary, the writers have succeeded in their job, right? Maybe. But writing a soap opera is more involved than making people feel something.

In Defense of 'Will and Grace'
Will and Grace is back ya'll! In case you haven't heard. It's back and funnier than ever. Or at least that's what I thought. Whenever it's on or when I admittedly re-watch the episodes on iTunes I laugh the entire time. It was like my Christmas, Birthday, and Wedding day were all wrapped into one big, hilarious package. Then I found out that I shouldn't be laughing at some of the jokes because they are misogynistic.

I'm Just Gonna Say It!
Now, hear me out on this! I know I'm going to be in trouble after posting this. Big trouble! As in, if-you-see-this-guy-at-the-door-of-the-comic-con-don't-let-him-in kind of trouble. I know what I'm risking, here. My nerd cred is dangling by a thread, but my commitment to the truth of my nerdiness (nerditude?) is far too strong to just let this alone.

Queering Frasier
So, I recently started what can only be described as my sixth or seventh full re-watch of the 1990s-era NBC sitcom Frasier. These last two binges have opened my eyes to something: Frasier is bisexual. There are several overt examples of this and several reasons why Dr. Frasier Crane would remain in the closet, continuing to deny himself all the happiness he desires. First, Martin. He's a lovable homophobe, misogynist, dog lover, and old ass ex-cop. Marty Crane frequently and incessantly rags on both of his sons for being effeminate, and therefore inferior; can you imagine how bad it would have been had they actually been queer? Another reason Frasier might have decided to stay in the closet could be his (albeit limited) celebrity status. The 90s weren't quite as accepting of the spectrum of sexuality as we are today. Let's take a look at the examples pointing in the direction of the queering of Dr. Frasier Crane.
