Poetry Quiz/ To Vince Gilligan (creator of Breaking Bad)
I love and I hate. Why, you ask, do I do this?
I don’t know, but I sense it being done and  I am  tortured.

Lyrics Quiz #1
I hear it calling outside my window
I feel it in my soul
The stars were burning so bright
The sun was out ‘til midnight
I say we lose control

Lyrics Quiz #2
Turn back, now it’s time for me to let go.
Way down had to find a place to lay low.
Lampshade turned a man into a lightpost.

5 TV Shows That Could Totally Exist
By: Matthew Kerr (President-Elect of Hollywood)

With all the television shows starting soon, I’ve realized that the majority of new shows are terrible. With that in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at 5 programs that could totally be on the air.

1.   The Mail Room (NBC)
Matthew Perry makes his comeback to television for the 11th time in the past two years. In this funny yet heartfelt workplace series, lovable family-man, Jim (Perry) is demoted from his successful career as a CEO to a job working in the mail room. While disgruntled by this decision, Jim also discovers the meaning of the little things in life and starts to befriend his new co-workers in a series that has been hailed as “pretty okay” by Entertainment Weekly.

2.    The Calvin Family (HBO)
From the executive producers of Dexter and creator Alan Ball (Six Feet Under, True Blood), this darkly comic series takes a look at a family who must turn to grave robbing in order to satisfy their financial needs. Even the children get in on it and end up stealing body parts after a while because “why the f*** not?” With an all-star cast including Julianne Moore and Tom Hanks, “The Calvin Family” will win a ton of awards and then get terrible in its 4th season because none of the characters will learn from their mistakes.

3.   The 212 (The CW)
A group of rich and attractive twenty-somethings tries to balance love and relationships in America’s most over-amplified city, New York. While living in their expensive Upper East Side apartment complex, the characters (including a black guy in order to seem diverse) have sex with each other a lot. Starring Brenda Song, who attempts to break away from her Disney background. It also has great music. 

4.   Girl Power (CBS)
From executive producer Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men), this show revolves around a small-town Caucasian girl (Debby) who moves to Los Angeles to become an actress. But because money is tight, she must become roommates with a sloppy and fun-loving girl named Ciara. It’s an “odd couple” situation, because CBS thought that a show focusing on that would be still be funny after 607 times. There’s a laugh track every five seconds and it’s watched by 20 million people every week.

5.   Canadian Horror Story (FX)
In this spin-off series from the acclaimed creator of Degrassi, a wide variety of characters (including a doctor and a guy who works at the post office) must battle spooky Canadian horrors. Episode 3: “Syrup, Eh,”  has been dubbed “the most terrifying thing of all time” by 96% of the Canadian population.
