The Simpsons: Next Generation (2017-present)

Matt Groening makes a stunning return in this sequel series to the classic show, The Simpsons. After The Simpsons ended in season 8 in 1997, the show has been kept alive through a 2007 film along various comic books and Treehouse of Horror specials, but is now brought back here. The focus is now on the new Simpson patriarch, Bart Simpson, who has moved himself and his children to the house of his sister, Lisa Simpson, as a result of financial crisis. The show focuses on the parallels of the Simpsons' classic time to the new era, with various throwbacks and new developments that capture the Simpsons' charm. In addition, there is a greater emphasis on development of characters and continuity.

The main characters consist of the now 38-year-old Bart Simpson and his sons: Nate and Phil Simpson, aged 10 and 8 respectably along with the 36-year-old Lisa Simpson and her daughter, Camille, who was 6 years old. The three Simpson children take more after their Simpson parents than their other parents (aside from hair color), with Camille being smart like Lisa yet with a Bart-like attitude, Nate trying to be responsible despite not being as smart as his siblings while Phil is a cultural rebel and activist. It also includes Homer and Marge Simpson, still happily married, along with Maggie Simpson, the younger sister of Bart and Lisa who has moved in with them in the middle of Season 1 who is trying to patch things up with them.

It takes place in Springfield, which has become modernized just enough to fit in with the everytown mentality yet still uniquely be Springfield. Many reoccurring characters remain, especially the former children who have become adults. Important reoccurring characters include Milhouse (Bart's former best friend, trying to patch things up), Nelson (an old flame of Lisa), Martin Prince II (Bart's old flatmate) among others, namely Allison Taylor, Lisa's former rival turned best friend and as later revealed, the biological daughter of Ruth Powers. She has started to date Bart in the Season 1 penultimate episode.

The identity of the children's non-Simpson parents remain a mystery though it is implied it is Nelson for Camille and Jessica Lovejoy for Bart's boys.

The interesting thing about that show is that it only happened because NBC was going to do a similar show with Aniston, Schwimmer, and some others but they dumped the idea and HBO picked up Aniston and did a variation.

This part is a DBWI, right? Seacrest has already been reanimated

*edit*
Ryan Seacrest is the reanimated form of Bert Convy, who was the reanimated form of Bert Parks, who was the reanimated form of George Jessel. "They" don't want us to know there's only one one "Master" of Ceremonies..... Just think about that!

Pokemon Advanced Generation (2003-2007)

A sequel series after the original Pokemon run, it stars Ash Ketchum returning, but rather as a supporting protagonist and serves as a foil to his young protege, Wally, whom he helps catch a Ralts. The anime here serves as a more serious take, adopting the serious elements of Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald and as a coming of age story for both characters; Ash in becoming a mentor and getting adjusted to without traveling alongside Misty and Brock (though the two reappear as cameos throughout the seasons) and Wally becoming a stronger trainer and person. Their traveling companions include the feisty May (one of Ash's friendly rivals in battling and his guide to Hoenn though his junior in battling) and the more gentle Brendan (who serves as the "Brock" of the group and introduces the team to Pokemon Contests. All while Team Rocket continues their hijinks though also puts the organization against the insane ambitions of Team Magma and Team Aqua. The series has both Ash, May and Wally enter the championships along with Tyson. Ash ends in the penultimate Championship against Tyson after he defeats his apprentice Wally in battle (who takes the defeat in stride after a close battle between Pikachu and Kirlia) and Tyson barely wins against May and her Blaziken. Ash loses against Tyson, but takes the loss in stride. Ash heads off for mroe adventure with a promise to meet up with Wally, May and Brendan again.

Pokemon Battle Frontier (2008)

An OVA spin-off series, it stars May taking on the Battle Frontier in longer segments. The OVA was aimed at an older audience since it would discuss some of the more unforeseen sides of the Pokemon world while also looking into the blossoming relationship between Brendan and May as well as Wally trying to come into his own and wondering what to do beyond his scope as a trainer.

Those Whacky Stones (1966-68)

A Monkees-like TV comedy series featuring the Rolling Stones. The Stones are depicted as lovable rogues - a little wild, perhaps, but "not such bad kids after all."

A running gag on the show is that no one can understand Keith Richards when he talks except Charlie Watts. Keith will mutter something, and Bill Wyman will say, "What?" He'll mutter again, and Brian Jones will say, "What?" Mutter again, and Mick Jagger will say, "What?" Then Charlie will chime in: "Keef said...."

On a first-season episode, Keith meets a girl who talks in exactly the same kind of mutter that he does. They speak to each other in incomprehensible Keith Richards-speak; then little hearts appear around Keith's head....

The series is the prototype for other "whacky" series starring lovable bands in the future, like the Who, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Motorhead.

Pokemon Galactic Adventures (2008-2011)

A sequel series to the Pokemon Advanced Generation series, it has Ash journey to the Sinnoh region and befriends Lucas and Dawn, a budding Trainer and Coordinator respectably and mentors throughout their journey through Sinnoh. Ash meets some of his strongest rivals yet, such as the ruthless Paul and the calculating Conway while his new friends gain their own rivals, such as Barry for Lucas and Zoey for Dawn, with both even finding a mutual rival in the trainer/coordinator Nando. However, the story also puts greater emphasis on the villains as Ash, Lucas and Dawn stumble onto the plans of the heinous Team Galactic and their attempts to remake the world under their insane leader, Cyrus. Ash and his friends meet up often to stop Team Galactic, with Barry often coming in to assist in fighting the various members, and even Team Rocket came in to help from time to time. Each of three trainers bonds with one of three Lake spirits (Dawn with Azelf, Barry with Mespirt and Lucas with Uxie) and saves them from the admins while Ash deals with Cyrus and saving Dialga and Palkia (with Ash catching a glimpse of Arceus before Giratina saves Ash in the Distortion World). Afterwards, Ash and his friends enter their respective championships after obataining their badges and ribbons. Dawn loses in the final round of her Pokemon Contest, but accepts it gracefully while the battles are held for the championship. Lucas manages to beat Barry, but loses to Paul while Ash ends up beating Conway. Ash finally wins a League and beats Paul, ending their rivalry once and for all. Ash is congratulated by Sinnoh's champion, Cynthia, who was an ally in the fight against Team Galactic. However, Ash is challenged by a mysterious trainer named Tobias. He congratulates Ash for his victory before revealing himself to be the previous winner. He challenges Ash to a friendly Pokemon battle, wanting to know the trainer better while also helping Ash search for what to do now. Tobias is revealed to be a very experienced trainer, with his main Pokemon being a Darkrai, one that has defeated every gym leader single handedly. Ash beats not only Darkrai, but Tobias' Latios, earning Tobias' respect. When Ash questions whether anyone has beaten his team, Tobias mentions that Cynthia has among a few other Champions. Reignited with further spirit, Ash is then invited to go the Battle Frontier shared by Sinnoh and Johto (as Sinnoh's location is in repairs after Team Galactic's attack) by Palmer, Barry's father. Ash heads to Johto to try out the Battle Frontier.

Pokemon: Homeward Bound (2011-2012)

The sequel to Galactic Adventures and the final series within the Pokemon anime before the "soft reboot." Ash returns to Johto and meets up with Misty and Brock once more to check out the Johto-Sinnoh Battle Frontier. The series here was made to help transition and finish Ash's part of the story and focusing more on the relationship between the characters. The series itself is divided between several arcs. The first arc focuses on the Johto Battle Frontier while traveling across the area, meeting old friends while Ash seeing what has changed and using some old favorites. After defeating them and declining the position of Frontier Brain, he is invited to Kanto to see the changes. Around this point, Ash has one final battle with Team Rocket and they noted that they wanted to announce their resignation from the team to them. They later reveal they have since taken over the remnants of Team Galactic and want to do some good with it with their business knowhow. Ash and the Rocket Trio part on amicable terms, with the trio appearing peridocally to watch Ash's matches from their balloon (which they maintain they are too fond of to get rid of.)

The changes that Ash sees in Kanto are numerous, including Janine running the Pokemon Gym with Koga becoming a member of the Elite 4 along with helping out in several events, such as the evacuation of Cinnabar Island to try and stop the volcano from devastating the island. Here, Ash reunites with many old Pokemon, such as Primeape, Pidgeot and even Butterfree. He eventually is granted the opportunity to challenge the Elite 4 of Johto in order to test their strength and while Ash fares well against all of them, he ends up in a draw with Lance. The final arc has Ash be told of a mysterious trainer who lives on Mt. Silver, whom the strongest face and say they will help find their way. Going up the Mountain, Ash meets up with mroe old friends and challenges the mysterious Silver Trainer, who turns out to be based off the unused female trainer ("Blue" for Japan and "Leaf" for the USA, though she is mainly called the Silver Trainer here. Fans have nicknamed her Violet for her violet scarf along with the fact she is a composite character of Red and Blue.)

While Ash ultimately loses against the Silver Trainer after an intense fight between Pikachu and her own remaining Pokemon, a Clefairy, he does find a new sense of meaning while the Silver Trainer thanks him for such a bracing match and reminding her to come down from the mountain more often, quietly noting her mother misses her. Ash says he will remain in Kanto for the time being with the implications being that he will resume traveling after some training on Mt Silver and the show implying he finally enters a romantic relationship with Misty (which the writers began writing more seriously ever since a previous writer had Caitlin very interested in Ash along with Misty's jealousy and Caitlin's own words to Misty) The series ends with while the anime will continue, it will be with all new characters.

RWBY

An americanisation of a tokusatsu show, RWBY follows several (colour-coded) students at Beacon High School who are recruited by the mysterious wizard Ozpin to battle the witch Salem, who has escaped from centuries of imprisonment to unleash her army of 'grimm monsters' upon human civilisation. Footage of the western actors in 'civilian' clothes dealing with day-to-day high school challenges were intercut with that of their japanese counterparts (dubbed by the western actors) for the fight scenes, as Hunters Red, White, Black and Yellow battled Grimm and Salem's other agents. RWBY ran for two seasons before all available footage from its tokusatsu show ran out and the cost of creating new footage was deemed too expensive to continue the series.

What was the original japanese tokusatsu?

What Are You Having? (FOX Channel Russia 2015-2017, Netflix 2018?)
The show is set in Moscow circa 1992 and follows Alyona Yanovna, an engineering student that gets a job at Hot Patty (an American-style fast food restaurant that takes clear inspiration from McDonald's, Burger King and KFC). While the show was sold as, and in many ways is, a comedy, it was willing to brooch some serious issues about life in Russia after the fall of communism. The show became famous for its portrayal of a complicated relationship between Alyona and Ilya, her grandfather, a Jewish man and a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, as well as its historical accuracy. The show was canceled in 2017, allegedly due to low viewership but rumors have persisted that FOX received a request to cancel the show from the Russian government. Netflix has publicly flirted with picking the show for another season but has so far refused to make an official statement one way or another.

Pokemon BW (2012-2013): The first series of the new anime "soft reboot," it serves as a back to basics approach to the anime, adhering closer to the games, though expanding on some content. In addition, the audience was allowed to vote on whether they wanted the male or female protagonist to be the main characters along whether they wanted the character to represent Truth or Ideals and even their starter. The female character, Hilda, ended up winning along with Ideals winning and the starter being Snivy. The plot follows her along with their childhood friends, Bianca and Cheren as they set out on their Pokemon journey. However, eveyrthing is complicated when they meet up with the mysterious Team Plasma and Hilda ends up meeting up the mysterious N, who has fascinating ideas on the world. The anime is noted for its more mature content along with more serious questions though at the same, also addressing issues the game failed to bring back as a result of writers trying to make the Pokemon world more real, which meant wondering what made it work, rather than just force the Pokemon world to adhere to real world standards. The anime revitalizes the franchise and brought many old and new fans alike.

Pokemon WB: Another Road OVA (2012): An OVA released as a special treat for the fans, it condensed much of Pokemon WB into an OVA format, focusing on what if the male character, Hilbert, was chosen along with representing Truth. White Forest is replaced with Black City, he wields Reshiram instead of Zekrom and his starter was the running up, Tepig. Fans enjoyed the surprise of this and noted the subtle differences in interaction between the characters.

Super Mario Odyssey The Animated Series (Cartoon Network: 2017)- A 2D animated series following the adventures of Mario and Cappy as they fight evil in various kingdoms.

The Man In The High Castle (Amazon: 2016) - Alternate history series about America during French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars which saw Napoleon successfully invade Russia and Britain, President James Madison has to decide rather to align the US with the powerful French empire or not to.

THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE starred James Spader as Napoleon. It was @ first a
controversial pick(Spader after all is taller than Napoleon & doesn't seem to be the least bit French). But Spader won over both fans & critics with his performance. He convincingly portrayed Napoleon as utterly
ruthless, conniving, & @ the same time a
little sad & sometimes even pathetic(it has
been said that many of the show's female
viewers have had an irresistible impulse to
mother Spader's Napoleon).

TMITHC also featured, as recurring guest
stars, Samuel L Jackson as the Emperor of
Haiti trying to play Napoleon & Madison off against each other, Elizabeth Hurley as Dolley Madison, & Jean Reno as Talleyrand.
