IF Sheldon, THEN Kevin
I’m frustrated. Maybe it's because we’ve been living through a global pandemic since last year. Maybe it’s the unrelenting and increasing civil unrest. Or maybe it’s just realizing that the doom-and-gloom conspiracy theorists have wasted their time prepping for a zombie apocalypse when they should’ve been readying themselves for an avalanche of insufferable stupidity.

Monumental Mockumentary
There is something oddly satisfying about seeing a boom mic drop into the frame, or the fourth wall being awkwardly broken. Most satisfying of all is the truly fantastical concepts made in the documentary film style, without being, real, at all. That being said, what is more exciting than a satirical mockumentary film?

Schitt's Creek Withdrawal? Watch These Next (Based On What You Loved About It)
I am reluctant to admit that I was not an early adopter of Schitt's Creek. Based on the promos I saw, I didn't think I would like it. Even though I had family urging me to watch it, I didn't. Not until it was starting to blow up in 2020. The ads didn't do it justice because I. Love. It. But

Fans of Lucifer: How to Make the Wait for 5b Less of a Torturous Hell
It’s been 7 months since the release of Lucifer’s Season 5a and oh man... the wait for 5b has been hell. If we look at everything LuciFans have been through, though (the show’s cancellation on Fox, the many DeckerStar fakeouts, and now all these #GoodbyeLucifer posts about final days of shooting before 5B even has a public release date ?!?!?… *breathe*)…

It all started with a Big Bang!
Can a show be both comedy and...intelligent? Well, I didn’t think that it was possible for a show to make me laugh but teach me something, but that occurred when I watched “The Big Bang Theory”. There were words that I never heard of and now I know thanks to TBBT (“coitus”, “bazinga”, “string theory”, etc.). If that didn’t sell it, there was also the catchphrase that was funny as well such as Sheldon’s line “I’m not crazy; my mother had me tested”. Finally, you had the amazing cast who made the show an incredible experience: Leonard, Raj, Sheldon, Howard, Amy, Penny and Bernadette.

Top 5 female Comedy
The roles for women in TV and movies have certainly changed over the years. From shows like “I dream of Genie” and “Bewitched” where very powerful supernatural beings use their powers to make pot roast. To “Wandavision” where the scarlet witch uses her powers to bring her lover back from the dead, smashes S.W.O.R.D and mind controls a few thousand people into believing they live in a black and white 50’s sitcom.

A Silly Secret
Many of us know and love classic slapstick comedies, like Airplane! Slapstick comedy is a lost art form in film. It combines physical humor, with literal interpretations of figures of speech, and turns puns into visual hilarity. The aforementioned classic with the likes Leslie Nielsen, Julie Hagerty, and even basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabar, is a well known and beloved entry in the genre. There’ve been a number of spiritual successors to it, but the one that has been with me since childhood, claims less notoriety.
