Originally airing in December on Lifetime, Melissa stars with Mario Lopez as rival toy shop owners who reluctantly...

If you take a bit of quirk, a dash of empathy and a pinch of acceptance, then send it off to the Renaissance Faire – you get the new Lifetime dramedy series “American Princess.”

With all the political chaos happening this year, the CBS drama "MADAM SECRETARY" has done a good job of creating political escapism. No matter how intense the storylines get – at least you know they’re fiction.

The King of Queens Review

The King of Queens is a sitcom. The show stars Kevin James, Leah Remini, Jerry Stiller, Nicole Sullivan, and Patton Oswalt.

The Plots:

The show is about Doug Heffernan and his wife Carrie. Doug is a fun, but troublemaking IPS worker who has lots of arguments with Carrie. They live with Carrie's immature dad, Arthur Spooner. The 3 of them have goofy adventures with Doug's friends.

Although Doug and Carrie fighting in every episode could seem tiresome the show is so goofy that it remains funny instead of being tiresome. The antics of Doug and his buddies is pretty entertaining.
