Young Sheldon (2017)
Great casting makes what might have been a disappointment a wonderful treat!
Honestly, when I first heard about this show, although curious, I admit I thought it was just CBS trying to cash in on a popular show, that would soon be ending. When I tuned in the first time I thought "oh, this is cute, but I doubt it will last." However, each week I grow fonder and fonder of this show. It's both funny and endearing. I love both of the parents in this show, which is sad knowing from BBT history, the father dies before BBT starts. The addition of Annie Potts as Meemaw is great. Then there's the kids. Each one is so charming, and honestly look like they could be siblings. It's not always easy doing a show that relies heavily on child actors, but this show does it wonderfully. In some ways it even reminds me of Wonder Years. I hope this show has a long life, and is given the opportunity to grow.
The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (2010)
The Avengers Animated show I've been waiting for!
I am a long time fan of the Avengers, and have dreamed of the day when we would see an animated series that could actually capture the best of the comic and bring it to life. I feel that this show really does that. I followed the comic for over 35 years, but finally stopped a few years ago, because I felt the book lost it's magic. They allowed a new creative team to make the book more "popular", at the expense of what made the book great. I believe this new animated series will delight long time fans, while bringing a new younger audience to these characters. It seems that the creative team behind this series is taking great care to stay true to the original material, while doing a great job of merging it with a modern spin. They've even taken elements from newer story lines, and worked them in very effectively. I like the look of the show a lot. I would have preferred a look more reflective of George Perez's style (my favorite Avengers artist}, but I do understand that a lot of people enjoy the more anime look. I will say that it flows very smoothly, and with so much action, it is very exciting. I just watched the first 13 episodes, and can't wait for the rest of season 1 to be released on DVD. On the DVD's they talk about some of the things planned for second season, and all I can say is it looks amazing. If Marvel could get the same excitement back into the comic, I would be buying it again! I'm hoping this series has a very long run, and continues to bring in more of my favorite characters and story lines.
