The Ellen DeGeneres Show

The Ellen DeGeneres Show has always been one of my favorite shows. Ellen is the star of her own show The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Ellen Degeneres always brings her top performance in order to make you laugh. Featuring a different celebrity interview each day, music performances, audience participation games, and segments of real life stories, and amazing talent throughout all age groups. She always calls viewers and throughout regular parts in the show urges people at home to send in videos, letters and even leave voicemail messages. A DJ joins Ellen. Tony,the DJ, has been around the longest, appearing during most of season 1 and 2, and regularly since season 6. What is a huge part of the show, as at the start of each program, after delivering her opening monologue, Ellen dances with the audience, following this she does her signature dance over her coffee table. This is my favorite part of the show. The audience gets so excited and everyone waits for it. She does it every show, which makes it a special cute tradition. Ellen’s show tops most other talk shows because she will constantly make you laugh. She is my favorite comedian by far.

Phineas and Ferb


In Phineas and Ferb, two creative stepbrothers come up with crazy things during each day to pass the time before school starts in the fall. Of course, in real life, all of them would be impossible to do in one day. But as the cool kids they are, Phineas and Ferb are able to bring their ideas to life in just a few hours.  Phineas' older sister Candace, sees most of what they do as dangerous, and in most episodes, tries her best to catch them in the middle of their projects. However, her efforts are mostly pointless because the boys' inventions miraculously disappear before either parent can see them before coming home or wherever they are. Most times, they disappear because of their pet; Perry the Platypus, who, only to the viewers is a secret agent. To the family, he's a normal pet, but when nobody is looking, he puts on his detective hat, sneaks into his secret office under the house using many secret doors and tunnels, and gets his assignments from the Major. Perry's enemy is Dr. Doofenshmirtz, an evil, but goofy scientist who comes up with various tasks of his own to try to rule the “tri-state area”. Doofenshmirtz's plans are as crazy as the boys.  But unlike, Phineas and Ferb, Dr.’s efforts are usually unsuccessful because Perry is able to defeat the scientist.  The cycle then starts again the following day in the summer. 

Deal or No Deal

"Deal or No Deal" is an awesome game show where players play for a big prize of $1 million dollars in a contest of nerves and consequences. Each episode, the game starts when a contestant is shown 26 closed briefcases full of different amounts of cash – ranging from a penny to $1 million dollars. Not knowing the amount in each briefcase, the contestant picks one to keep if he/she wants, until the end of the game. The risk factor sets in when the player must get rid of the rest of the 25 cases – which are opened and the amount of cash inside is shown. The pressure gets bigger in each round, after a planned number of cases are opened; the player is tempted by "the Banker" to accept an offer of cash in exchange for what might be in the contestant's briefcase – telling the host to ask the most important question – Deal or No Deal? As each case is opened, the chance of the player having a valuable cash amount in his or her own case gets bigger or smaller. The contestant knows that as long as the larger in price cases haven't been opened, the Banker's deals will get higher. And if the contestant accidentally opens a case with a bigger cash value – the Banker's offer could drop.

The Bachelor


The Bachelor is a reality television series that gives one man and 25 women the opportunity to find true love in a most exciting and adventurous way. The Bachelor will get to know the 25 women in a series of fun, and exiting dates. Along the way he must follow a process of elimination. His initial 25 bachelorettes are narrowed down week by week by giving them a red rose. In the end, he will decide on the one woman who he loves. But, at any point along the way, if a woman decides that she doesn’t like The Bachelor, she can reject him. If the woman decides to stay, she will get to meet his family, and he will visit their hometowns for a piece of their life trying to decide on the woman he likes the most. The Bachelor provides a behind-the-scenes look into the lives of each participant involved in this unique dating show. At the end of the journey, this guy will have had an unforgettable experience, made new friendships and quite possibly found true love. But the big question is: After all of this, if he pops the question, will she accept?
