This is a JABB Review video, we interviewed two people and got their opinions on two different TV shows (Gossip Girl and The Simpsons). We asked questions such as "What do you like about the TV Show?" and "Who would you recommend it to?".
Starring: Chris O'Dowd, Richard Ayoade, Katherine Parkinson, Matt Berry
"The IT Crowd is about three socially inept miscreants, surviving by avoiding work in the basement of the large Reynholm Industries. The show stars Chris O’Dowd as the Irish slacker Roy, Richard Ayoade as the genius Moss, Jen Parkinson as the desperate and high strung Jen, and Matt Berry as womanising company president Douglas. The combination of slapstick comedy, witty dialogue, and quirky deliveries makes the show instantly endearing and hysterical."\
This show is is hilarious. The dialogue between Roy and Moss is brilliant and the storylines are bizarre bet generally pretty funny. I especially love the womanising boss Douglas and there are many laugh out loud moments when he is involved. The IT Crowd is definately worth a watch for any comedy fans especially fans of English comedies.

"Set in Baltimore, this show centers around the city's inner-city drug scene. It starts as mid-level drug dealer, D'Angelo Barksdale beats a murder rap. After a conversation with a judge, Det. James McNulty has been assigned to lead a joint homicide and narcotics team, in order to bring down drug kingpin Avon Barksdale. Avon Barksdale, accompanied by his right-hand man Stringer Bell, enforcer Wee-Bey and many lieutenants (including his own nephew, D'Angelo Barksdale), has to deal with law enforcement, informants in his own camp, and competition with a local rival, Omar, who's been robbing Barksdale's dealers and reselling the drugs. The supervisor of the investigation, Lt. Cedric Daniels, has to deal with his own problems, such as a corrupt bureaucracy, some of his detectives beating suspects, hard-headed but determined Det. McNulty, and a blackmailing deputy. The show depicts the lives of every part of the drug "food chain", from junkies to dealers, and from cops to politicians."
This is an amazing show. The plot is so intricate and there are so many varied characters. It can take a while to get into the show because of the heavy plot and also the language used is a distinctive Baltimore slang that can take a while to get your head around. But once you get hooked on this show you won't look back.
Starring: Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Harry Shearer, Hank Azaria
“THE SIMPSONS immediately struck a chord with viewers across the country over 20 years ago as it poked fun of itself and everything in its wake. With its subversive humor and delightful wit, the series has made an indelible imprint on American pop culture, and the family members have become television icons.”
The Simpsons is one of those quintessential shows that everyone has to watch at least once. It is difficult to review the Simpsons as it has a huge range of themes and issues presented throughout the series. Running for longer than 10 years and still managing to stay both fresh and funny, the Simpsons is a staple of good television. The series centres on the lives of a typical dysfunctional American family, with their everyday lives being a parody of the lives of the middle class family of the 21st century. The Simpsons utilises parody humour and the unpredicted nature of the main characters in order to create hilarious, often unexpected situations. The fact that the television show has stood the test of time and has exceeded 400 episodes is a testament to the quality of the show.
"Forget about athletes, movie stars and politicians. Parents are the real heroes but Frankie Heck (Patricia Heaton), well she's some kind of superhero. A loving wife and mother of three, she's middle class in the middle of the country and is rapidly approaching middle age. Frankie and her husband, Mike, have lived in Jasper, Indiana their whole lives. A man of few words (every one a zinger), Mike is a manager at the town quarry and Frankie is the third-best used car salesman (out of the three) at the local dealership. She may not be a high-powered career woman, but when it comes to her family, she'll go to just about any length. And with kids like these, she had better. There's Axel, her semi-nudist teenage son conceived with Guns N' Roses playing a significant role; Sue, the awkward teenage daughter who fails at everything with great gusto; and their seven-year-old son Brick, whose best friend is his back-pack. From executive producers/writers Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline (How I Met Your Mother, Committed, Murphy Brown) comes a single-camera comedy about raising a family and lowering your expectations."
The Middle is a great show for the family to watch. Families members can relate to the situations and characters in the show. Like every family, teenagers will have their moments but it is the younger son 'Brick' which steals the show. Brick is a very unique and different character compared to the average little boy. He is extremely intelligent for his age and has a strange habit of repeating the last word of his sentences to himself. Viewers will find watching not only Brick but all the characters on the show entertaining as all their different personalities are brought together.
