Introduce yourself: TV

[jsalbato@cnm.edu]

Reply with your name, what you prefer to be called, and recommend a well-written TV show that we are all missing out on.

I’m Jeff Salbato (your teacher), but I prefer Jeff. You only need to introduce yourself in one of these sub-topics, but, because I’m the supposed leader here, I’ll post in all of them…

TV shows you’re missing: Rectify, Silicon Valley, Newsroom, Happy Endings, Ted Lasso, Masterchef Australia, and the best show of all time: West Wing.

[Shang Duong]

Hi, my name is Shang Duong. I got a lot more into movies and TV shows about a year ago from today, and it’s honestly all I want to talk about. Some of the things I was able to accomplish in a year were watching all the Avengers movies in chronological order (including the shows), and I’m pretty close to finishing them. I believe I am halfway through all of StarWars chronologically (I’ve never seen it before), but I will say it’s very confusing for me, but very helpful because I have a partner who’s an absolute geek and movie/show nerd!

Some TV shows you’re missing out on are:
Breaking Bad (Started and finished last month), Better Call Saul (Just finished Season 1), Fleabag (One of the best comedies), Abbott Elementary (Also comedy), and Demon Slayer (well-animated anime series).
If you ever wanted more recommendations, I would love to ramble on and on.

I keep long, sortable lists of all the shows I plan to watch. I can’t wait to start watching “Abbott Elementary”; I just have this weird quirk where I don’t start watching a show until it’s a few years along so that I am not constantly waiting for new seasons. But I’ll start watching it soon.

“Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” are well-known and great, but “Fleabag” is a great show that many might have missed.

Let me see, based on your list I think you would like a few of these older, well-written but dramatic shows: “Rectify”, “Dexter”, “The Walking Dead”, “Ozarks”.

Hi Shang Duong,
I Just started watching star wells as well but in release date order! I hope you enjoy it! Personally I think the sequels are the best so far!

[Romeo Rodriguez]

Hi Shang I am currently watching The Avengers in order as well but my favorites are Iron man and Spiderman. My girlfriend started watching Abbott and I caught most of the latest season and it was so good Ill have to watch the whole thing!

[Adrian Espinosa]

Hi Shang, I’ve actually been wanting to watch Better Call Saul just haven’t got a chance, but I’m definitely gonna watch now since you mentioned it!

[Romeo Rodriguez]

Ok, hi my name is Romeo. I would say one of my biggest hobbies is watching tv and movies. I know that everyone has their own taste in television so if i were to recommend a well written Tv show I honestly don’t know what I would say. If you’re open to it I have plenty of anime recommendations. But specifically “well written” I would say “Your lie in April”, “Haikyuu!!”, and “Hunter X Hunter” are great and if you’re ready for a long one watch “Naruto” and this last one isn’t anime but, it is a cartoon: “Steven Universe”. Current watches right now are “One Piece” and “Babby daddy”. Thank you, even if you just look up one of these cool I sincerely recommend them all.

[Mary Solberg]

Hello! My name is Mary and I go by Mary. I love TV shows but my problem is that once I start a show I can’t stop watching it until I finish the entire series. This has always been a problem for me because my short term addiction to these shows prevent me from doing literally anything else. A lot of the TV shows that I like to watch are Japanese. If you thought K-dramas were corny and painfully predictable, J-dramas are pretty bad as well. Nevertheless, some J-dramas that I wish I could watch for the first time again are “Meet Me After School” and “First Love”. In addition, I have always been obsessed with “Breaking Bad” and love the anime “Death Note”

[Tegan]

Hi my name is Tegan (pronounced like Megan with a T), and some shows I believe some people are missing out on are:
The Good Place, a comedy about the afterlife with incredible humor and a surprising plot twist;
Community, a comedy about a group of odd friends in community college; and
Life in Pieces, a comedy about a big family split into each separate households different perspectives.
As you can see, I only really like comedy but these shows have a deeper message to them that is well thought and shown through the series.

[jsalbato@cnm.edu]

Tegan,
Wow, I’ve never heard of “Life in Pieces”, but it’s rated well. My wife only watches comedies, so we’re always looking for a new one. Thanks.

FYI: In my “intro” class we are reading the essay that inspired the plot of “The Good Place”: Sartre’s “No Exit”. Email me if you want me to send it to you.
