Idiotsitter (2014–2017)
8/10
Witty, Wonderfully Refreshing, and Wildly Entertaining!
5 March 2016
I just found this show on Hulu and I was hooked from the very first episode! It reminds me a lot of the "female" version of Workaholics in which one of the main characters also plays in. I love the instant chemistry between the two leading ladies and how effortless their acting is in this show. It's kooky and somewhat bizarre but in a good and raunchy way. I've only seen six episodes so far but will look forward with anticipation to watching many more! Great acting, fun show, and the zaniness is very much entertaining.

This is an adult-themed show so please do not watch with children under 16 in the room.

Grey's Anatomy (2005– )
7/10
Love the show but I think it's non-stop drama is over the top
5 March 2016
I have loved, loved, loved this show since the very first episode. So much so that I was hooked from the very beginning and it gave me a new appreciation for doctors. The first several seasons were awesome but as each new one comes out, I find myself getting bored with the non-stop drama. Like, seriously, how much drama can one hospital and it's staff possibly endure? Especially Meredith, one of the main characters in the show in which it's centered around. It's unrealistic. It's starting to get really annoying. It's TOO MUCH DRAMA anymore. Which is sad because it has a wonderful cast and premise but now it's more like a soap opera which I must mention that I detest soap opera's! If they toned down the show and quit making so much unrealistic "bad" things happen to the cast members, then I might be still wanting more of the show. However, as I said before, it's "Drama, drama, drama" and I cannot take much more of it. Seriously. Twelve seasons already and I think this show should make a graceful exit soon before I pull my hair out.

The King of Queens (1998–2007)
9/10
The King and Queen of Hilarious!
5 March 2016
Let me start off by saying that I have not watched one bit of this show until I purchased all nine seasons (the complete series) on DVD just after Christmas of 2015. I finished watching the whole series on 3/5/2015. As you can see, I am soooo behind the times with watching this show that honestly made me laugh out loud so many times.

If I am being honest, I never cared for Kevin James as an actor but I had only seen him in that Mall Cop movie. But when I began watching him in KOQ, I fell in love with his acting and comedic abilities. As for Leah Remini, she reminds me of myself. Like, a lot, lol. I think both Kevin James and Leah Remini were perfectly cast for the roles they played and their mutual connection on the show seemed believable. Then bring in Jerry Stiller who play's Leah's father on there and you have a comedic trifecta!

I have no idea why it took me so darned long to watch this awesome show but I am glad I did. I just wish the season finale would have been done better. It felt rushed to me.

Overall, I gave this show a 9/10 stars.

Second Chance (I) (2016)
8/10
A Must-Watch Television Show!
5 March 2016
I absolutely love this refreshing new show which is unlike anything I have watched before which is why it holds my attention. The casting is excellent and the actors provide a seamless and effortless ability in personifying their respective roles. There is just enough action to maintain my attention, the attraction between two of the main characters that has you rooting for them to "just do "it" already!" and the very anti-social brother who provides a wonderful performance in every episode.

Overall, this show is great to watch for many different types of personalities and I would give my recommendation for anyone who hasn't yet seen it to check it out.

I love Leah Remini but I hate this show!
5 March 2016
What to say..... I adore Leah Remini as an actress and person and I was so excited when the show became available to watch on Hulu. However, I did not get into it at all. It was boring, seemed moderately scripted (where's the reality in it?), and was just plain drull. I honestly could not force myself to watch past episode 4, it was that bad.

However, keep in mind that this is only my personal opinion. I love her acting, especially in King of Queens, but this show just seemed so forced for some reason. I love that she opened her life up to her fans and viewers... I really do. But it fell flat in a big way. Sadly, this "Queen" lost her throne with this show.

Mob Wives (2011–2016)
7/10
The first couple of seasons were addicting and then it got worse from there
5 March 2016
Overall, I liked this show. The first three seasons were binge-worthy and then the other seasons progressively got lamer from there. Now, I am watching the final season (The Final Stand) just to see the road Big Ang took with her cancer diagnosis. As for the last couple of seasons just being so lame, I think it's because once their lives became famous and they all had their new businesses and comforts in life that they just lost the essence of who they were and why we, as viewers, fell in love with them in the first place. I gave the show an overall rating of 7/10. I wish we could review each specific season because I would have a different rating for each one.

LOVE the cast but....
5 March 2016
I love the cast of this show. It has some of the best actors in the business. For example, Megan Mullally is almost unrecognizable in this show and was perfectly cast as a white-trashy prisoner who plays her role with a breathtaking ease. I love how different this role is for her in comparison to other shows I've seen her in.

Then there is Jenna Fischer who plays the sweet and innocent role, which, to be quite honest, is something I've grown quite bored of from her as an actress. She's a great actress, don't get me wrong-- I'm just tired of the sweet and innocent roles.

Next there is Rob Lowe. Ahhh. what a great character role for him playing the very untypical priest who is a chain smoker.

The overall show is pretty good. I love the concept, I love the actors, I love the writing. But there is still something that is sort of off for me as a viewer. I find myself bored watching the show sometimes and that is unusual for me. Perhaps there isn't enough action. But I will still continue to watch it to see where it goes. With a cast like that, I cannot "not" watch it.
