Title: Extraordinary Extra-Dimensional Emergency-Response Elementals Team (EEEETeam)
Genre: Low budget children's live action show (with its own line of toys)
Years Active and No of Seasons: 1998 to present. 26 years. 511 episodes.

Synopsis: Every 4 years, a new set of 5 angst-ridden young teenagers receive an "extraordinary extra-dimensional emergency-response elemental emblem" granting each one powers of fire, water, air, earth, or ether respectively. With great power comes great franchising opportunities. Guided by a disembodied voice in their heads, and a pixelated 8-bit game character only they can see, the EEEETeam solve the mysteries of middle school homework and discover why such a small town has so many villains. Every episode the EEEETeam stops the Reversiverse invasion of the week, thus hindering Queen Stupenda (the Empress of the Reversiverse) and her evil plans. Notable for its cheesy dialogue, cheap sets, and hokey choreography.

Example of a Typical Episode: Season 12 Episode 08 "Trustinator tm Go!"
Fellow students, Roscoe and Ferret (regular cast foils) think they can expose the identities of the EEEETeam by tying themselves to the town rail tracks. Freddie (Fire), looses control of his power when taking a test and must learn to get his angst under control. Wendy (Water) and Eddie (Earth) think they can help Freddie but accidentally make things worse. Ethan (Ether) and Arianna (Air) suspect each other of being Reversiverse replacements when they misunderstand the voice of Sensei in their respective heads. Q-bot's pixilation problems grow worse, providing plucky comic relief (or whiney voiced incredibly obnoxious annoyance for the watching adults).

In the meantime Queen Stupenda sends a team of Super-Secret Ninja-Frogmen that are easily dispatched back to the Reversiverse by EEEETeam. Incensed at their failure, Queen Stupenda uses her rage powers to upgrade the frogmen into more powerful Super-Strong Pirate-Toadmen. The toadmen can now combine into Maximum Bulltoad tm. Maximum Bulltoad kicks the EEETeam's elements into the ground until the EEETeam works out their mistrust of each other. They are then able to combine into the new Trustinator Mark III tm, and send Maximum Bulltoad back through the dimensional rift. Maximum Bulltoad lands on top of Queen Stupenda's Interdimensional Transposition-izer, closing the only portal to Earth. It will take weeks to build another one.

In the epilogue each EEEETeam member has learned an important moral lesson. That "Violence as a first response is foolhardy," unfortunately is not one of them. Sensei understands that he must be more clear when speaking to EEEETeams minds. Everyone is relieved that Q-bot finally gets his pixilation problems under control. Roscoe and Ferret realize that the railroad tracks are abandoned. They are not in danger, so nobody is coming to save them. How they both managed to tie themselves to the railroad tracks is not explained. They then start comically calling for help.

As end credits scroll, the new Maximum Bulltoad tm, and Trustinator Mk III tm toys can be seen in the background. Also in the end credits is a disclaimer that these are trained actors -- Do not try these stunts at home! Another disclaimer reads that it is never okay to play on or near railroad tracks under any circumstances.

Title: By Another Name

Genre: Drama; Historical Fiction

Years active and no of seasons: 2284-2286 - only 2 seasons so far; 16 episodes total

Run time per episode: 28 minutes

Synopsis: By Another Name covers the not-so-fictional story of a teenage girl named Victoria in the city of Nuevo Panama in 2239. Growing up in a life of poverty and misery, she seeks to finally try to save herself by creating a rock band with her friends. In this rough crime-ridden city plagued by libertarianism (as the show's narration explicitly claims), Victoria falls into a web of crime and violence that seems inescapable. The story is roughly based on a true testimonial of now-61-year-old Violeta Agua of her time as a teenager growing up in pre-liberated Nuevo Panama. Funnily enough, Agua is the appointed Party member to oversee and produce the show as well.

Example of a typical episode: Victoria and the band are confronted by Death Head and his cronies once again. After rumors of him murdering someone in the street just to "prove a point" begin to surface, Violeta grows uncomfortable talking to the half-dead man. Jorge is injured by Death Head in an altercation, leading to a hospital visit by Victoria. There, she runs into someone she hasn't seen in a long time. Someone she wished she would never see again after that fateful day four years ago: her mother. Victoria's mother attempts to apologize for Malena's death, but Victoria can't take it, storming out.
Back at the hub, the Chorrillo Gang shows up to their doorstep. After their last deal went well, they need Victoria and her friends to help swipe something for them. Nothing that bad, but in return the boss is willing to let the band have a sit-down with the boss. Before the rest of the band can even decide, Victoria signs them up for it. Although they question her decision-making, she explains that maybe the boss can help them solve their "Death Head" problem once and for all. After calling up Max, they decide to set out on this small-scale heist, but things don't go exactly as planned. It turns out, the owner of this penthouse apartment they were stealing from was aware that the Chorrillo wanted his artefact, calling the police beforehand. Barely escaping, Victoria and the band huddle down for a bit. The band pushes her even more on why she would take even another deal from the gangsters again, as the chances of even getting what they want from their boss is slim to none. High risk with little reward. This makes Victoria introspect, now not sure where her life is heading. What kind of hole have they dug for themselves here? The more Victoria thought about it days afterward, the more it started to sound like her mother's predicament from four years ago.
At the end of the episode, Victoria returns to the hospital to pick up a recovering Jorge. But she makes one last stop to her mother's room. The old woman was was still holding on, but the cancer was definitely going to kill her. Making the decision here and now, Victoria sits down with her again, apologizing for leaving her four years ago. For leaving the family. Victoria's mother apologizes once more for Malena's death. Mother was someone who was naive about how this city worked, and genuinely believed trading her first-born daughter Malena for debt nullification could have worked. How wrong she was, but nobody can change the past. After one last hug, Victoria's mother passes away, having finally made amends with her daughter.

We might be the big bad guys, but we're actually not as bad as we let on sometimes. In fact, we would argue we're far less bad than some of our mortal enemies. But I guess, every regime says that, right?

Title: My Mother the AI
Genre: SitCom (Liberal Humor)
Years Active: 2017-present. 6 Seasons (Seventh and final season this fall), 144 episodes.
Run Time Per Episopde: 24 minutes

Synopsis: A poverty stricken but aspiring 20-something neurolink content provider, Hubert Ozburn ends up with his helicopter mom's consciousness uploaded into the Internet of Things (Matrix). Her consciousness follows him everywhere from machine to machine (usually a Goggle brand Assister Device). She only wants "what's best for my Hubert, the big lunk." (Humor similar to Steptoe and Son).

Example Episode: Season 02 Episode 17 "Peppermom"
Hubert gets a big break when music pop star Holographic Artificial Intelligence Entertainer (HAIE), Peppermint "Pepper" Nakamura agrees to imprint (record) an interactive neurocast with him. This will boost his following from a low payout tier into an upper tier with a significantly higher payout schedule. But during the imprinting Hubert's cheap and illegally modified cyberdeck goes out of sync.

Mom enters the cyberdeck to help, but the memetic interface is hopelessly corrupted. Receptors (viewers) of the neurocast do not see or hear the superstar Pepper, but Hubert's mom dressed as Pepper with an out of sync and garbled dub. Had he used the Creds Mom gave him to properly upgrade the cyberdeck instead of blowing it on a live venue holo-concert of Pepper, this would not have happened.

Hubert's platform cancels his neurocast account for violation of TOS. Hubert is worse off than before. The episode ends with Pepper (being amused at the whole caper) leaving a vid message that sometime in the near future (and once he secures a platform account) she will willingly do a proper neurocast with him using her studio's equipment.

Episode deals with issues of AI servitude, and prejudice against PFCs (personas of formerly-living consciousnesses) in modern society.

Title: That Old Village
Genre: Fantasy
Years active and no of seasons: four seasons, with a fifth and final season scheduled
Run time per episode: 35-45 mins
Synopsis: There exists a village that looks no different from any other. At least, that's what passers-by say. The immortal nymph and elf couple running the place from their quaint tavern, and the ancient vampire who still recounts his days as a pirate for the children, seem to think differently. A town hidden by it's ordinary façade hides a fantastical cast of inhabitants, all with their own lives and stories to tell
Example of a typical episode: Season 4, Episode 10 (season 4 finale and an hour long episode) "Fractals"

With Will released from jail for drunk driving, and the women of the town preparing for Eve's Day, the problems are starting to mount. For one, Margarite the wizened nymph has lost some of her elixir; the most important part of the Eve's Day tradition. As she and her wife try and find who could have stolen it, and what they plan to do, the children of the town, particular Ralph, Eduard, and Sapphire, are searching the Mystic Forest for their runaway friend Rose (a dhampir. half human, half-vampire), who had fled after discovering her father is a vampire hunter. Coriandre a mermaid, and Devlin a wood nymph are trying to plan how to tell the town that they will be leaving for good, after their longtime issues with the village leader Misandia (a high elf, and wife to Margarite the nymph).

All the while, Agents Shaw and Henries are coming ever closer to discovering the town's secrets, even as detective Harriette is doing what she can do mask the town's fantastical elements.

This all comes to a head during the Eve's day dinner. The women's only meal, is interrupted by the four kids, as they flee from the agents, who caught Rose performing magic. The detective along with Devlin, who had been trying to stop the agents from arresting the children, arrive as well. With shouting, and guns drawn, Margarite and Misandia use their magic to forcefully quiet down everyone present, only to result in a perfect time of silence for Will to make his grand entrance, holding a bottle of the women's-only elixir. With a speech describing his agony and treatment at the hands of the village leaders, he goes to drink the elixir, even as he's being warned that any man to drink it will die. Rather, once the elixir passes his lips, he is transformed into a woman. With a heavy breath, Will recalls how she "knew it", leading to the discovery that the nymph had known Will's true self as well, but had been hiding this power from her. Will, furious that she was forced to live as a man for so long (having been convinced a decade prior by the nymph that such a change was impossible), chooses to abandon the town for good. Devlin and Coriandre choose now as the time to declare their leave as well, siting their own personal issues with both village elders.

The agents, grabbing hold of one of the children, guns drawn, declare that nobody is leaving. That is, until the detective shoots Henries, killing him, prompting everyone to flee in the ensuing fight. With the small town in shambles and some of its most prominent members leaving, Misandia the elf and Margarite the nymph argue with one another about the village. They had created the village to bring about peace between all their kind, and end discrimination of all types within its grounds. Instead, discrimination still was rampant, lead by one of the very leaders who had solemnly promised to end it. A fight erupts between the elders, showing their true strength.

In the end, the elf is over-powered, She chooses to leave, leaving Margarite in tears, as black SUVs filled with dozens of more agents arrive and encircle her and the remaining townsfolk.

Synopsis: People in the house do lots of fun activities. They argue, they play, they practice! Come in this very nice family with Sarah, Kevin, Eddy, John, Jake and Michael!
Example of a typical episode: Episode 1: "Family Time". We introduce the character Sarah as he is preparing for lunch. Kids Eddy and John really like the food since the food today is hotdogs! Then, Kevin is washing the breakfast plates. Sarah then prepares lunch. They prepare the food plates, the forks and the spoons. Then, cousin of Eddy, Jake come to eat lunch. At twelve o'clock noon, everyone had a good lunch, but Sarah and Kevin are arguing about Jake's high school graduation. Why? Because in August 30, 2014, Jake is gonna be graduated at school! He needs to prepare for the final school dance, but Eddy and John like the fact that they had monster trucks and mini ICP planets in their toybox. After lunch, Kevin, Sarah and Jake practice for the final school dance, but Eddy and John play the game "Monster Truck Collector" in their sandbox. Eddy won the game because he collected 76 ICP planets in total, but John lost because he collected 69. After the game, Michael joined a game of tic-tac-toe. Odd, that John won with a diagonal line. After the practice, and the chess game, they visit their neighbor, Duke, who was going to prepare for a road trip with Gray and Daniel. After this, they took a family photo. After this, we zoom out of the shot then to the credits.
