What’s Opera Doc? is voted the best cartoon of all time.
On May 7, 2021, Bill the curator for MeTV's TOON IN WITH ME, and his pal Toony the Tuna presented the first annual Toony Awards. Earlier the viewers had been asked to choose their favorite Bugs Bunny episode of all time and What’s Up Opera? was the winner. This six-minute short has an even greater distinction as it was previously determined to be the greatest animated cartoon that WARNER BROTHERS has ever released, It has also been ranked number one in numerous cartoon polls, and in 1994, 1000 members of the animation industry ranked What's Opera, Doc? as No. 1 out of a list of the top 50 animated cartoons of all time.

Review: "Lisey's Story"
Stephen King is well known for his stories and scaring readers all around, but his adaptations for the big screen and television have been rather hit or miss. Enter Lisey's Story, a small screen adaptation from his 2006 novel of the same name that focuses on a widow that endures a series of resurgent memories from her marriage to famed author Scott Landon, including memories that she had long locked away. The book itself was very well received but the miniseries here is very hit or miss fitting alongside that of many other dramatic adaptations that King has seen before.

5 Underrated Supporting Characters From the Office
We all love the long, rocky road it took to finally see Jim and Pam get together. We all adore the prank-filled love/hate relationship of Jim and Dwight. The constant push-pull of the partnership between Dwight and Michael makes us all laugh. And yet, some of the background characters of the office are so ridiculously funny, sometimes it takes a rewatch of the show to appreciate them in all their glory. These are five of the most underrated characters from The Office.

Behind Her Eyes, Netflix Miniseries — Watch It or Skip It?
It’s an intriguing name for a miniseries, I thought. Images of a potentially blind woman with ESP, (potentially), and a cat-and- mouse-themed plot flashed through my mind as I ruminated over whether this flick was worth a watch.

Who is The THING?
John Carpenter's 1982 Science-Fiction Horror masterpiece The Things follows a crew of scientists and engineers among others stationed in remote Antarctica. Once R.J. Macready (Kurt Russell) does some investigation, it is discovered that Norwegian scientists have come across an extraterrestrial ship lodged in the ice beneath them and have thawed out its only surviving passenger, all hell begins to break loose. Based on John W. Cambell's 1938 novella "Who Goes There", Macready and crew face off (see what I did there?) with a shape-shifting creature intent on surviving-- or even worse, escaping. In the last act of the movie the creature from another world is no longer being hunted but instead, it is studying and eliminating its obstacles that stand in the way of escape by trial and error. After the reality and severity of the situation settle in with the supporting cast, they begin to question and eventually turn on each other in fear of being dissected and consumed. The last twenty minutes of the film five members are presumably still alive when Macready makes the decision to split up, leaving Childs to guard the stronghold and taking Naul & Garry with him to check on the imprisoned Dr. Blair. That's when it happens -- Nauls sees Childs leave his post and then the power is cut, leaving the remaining men in the cold dark antarctic to battle The Thing

Happy Harmonies "Bottles" episode is a true classic
Children growing up in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s probably never thought about the origin of the cartoons they enjoyed or how long they had been around. I caught an episode of TOM and JERRY recently on MeTV Saturday morning cartoons. One animated short that came on brought back fond memories for me, It was a Happy Harmony short titled BOTTLES and I was stunned to find out it was created in 1936. It's hard to believe that 2021 year marks 85 years of this classic short.

The 5 Worst 'Shameless' Characters Of All Time
The very principle of Shameless was to have characters who were morally corrupt. Whether it was drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, criminal activity, or infidelity, the show really showed the full spectrum of shameless behavior. In the sea of less than desirable characters, some did manage to clean up their act and make something out of themselves. Carl became a police officer, Lip got sober(ish), and even Kevin and Veronica decided a change of scenery was best for their situation.
