If the name David Hogg rings a bell to you, it shouldn't be a surprise. This 17 year old was one of the survivors of the Parkland shooting back in February and has become an extreme advocate for gun control. Hence the whole March for our Lives nonsense and all this school walkout crap. Like most kids, he's looking at all sorts of colleges. He's got a strong GPA and SAT score, but got rejected by four schools from California. Still he got accepted by a Florida college and one from California. It was reported by The Daily Wire and retweeted by Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham with a reply along with the retweet of the site.
Now, Hogg and others are accusing Ingraham of mocking him and he has gone on a crusade to get advertisers to boycott her show on Fox News. Looking at her tweet on Twitter, I don't see it. Where's the mocking? I'm not seeing that constitutes that as websites are saying. If she had mocked the shooting and his movement, then I could see why he would overreact. But judging by the tweet, she hasn't done anything. She parroted the same thing Daily Wire said. The colleges didn't accept him, but she considered it him whining about it and saying acceptance rates about one of the colleges. While I wouldn't say these are prestigious schools, these are probably decent sized schools where you really need to get your act together and hope you can send a letter as soon as possible.
In that Daily Wire article, it seems like he's just whining that people who want to change the world can't get in. This seems like he is saying that he got rejected because of his movement. That could be the case. Hogg is like an athlete. You're not sure what he is going to say next if he's even relevant after 2018 is over. Daily Wire mentioned a friend not getting accepted into UCLA. That has had enough controversy considering LaVar Ball and the incident in China back in November. Last thing they need is an idiot teenager who thinks his movement will do anything when it won't. Bad publicity is not always a good thing.
There's way worse mocking from others that don't see the light of day. Hogg is being an overreacting crybaby. Too thin skinned if you want my thought. It's an excuse to keep his 15 minutes of fame going over what Ingraham said that has no insults, name calling, whatever. He's not going to change anything, especially with gun control or any of that. Maybe he should focus on mental health and how to help out those who really need the help. Sometimes I really do question these younger generations of kids.

Seinfeld: The Deal Review
The Deal is one of Seinfeld's interesting episodes early on in it's run. It's that kind that seems almost like a fan request. Given the Inside Look for it, it was for NBC. They must have thought getting Jerry and Elaine back together would be something audiences would want. There was pressure they gave towards Larry David, and like a number of episodes, it is based on an experience he had. It is one of those concepts that continued on a little bit through the rest of the show's run and even on Curb Your Enthusiasm, David's HBO show.
What is The Deal? David's concept is having a physical relationship but retaining a friendship. It almost seems like a booty call or a friends with benefits. Anyway, the episode begins with Jerry and Elaine looking for something on TV. She finds a naked channel and he gives her a look. That turns into them talking about the last time they have done it with someone and the amount of times they did it together. It also gets them to start creating this idea of doing the physical relationship and continue on to live as friends by creating a series of rules in order to maintain that they are friends and not officially a couple.
But what about the reactions from others? Kramer and George are given the scoop on Jerry and Elaine. Kramer sees Elaine come out of Jerry's room and adds two and two together. George eats at Monk's with Jerry and produces one of the finest speeches to persuade Jerry to discuss sleeping with Elaine. The banter is phenomenal, and George believes sleeping being optional is a bad idea. The theory is put to the test and a couple things that test the deal. Once again, banter comes to Jerry and George. Also, we get a good chance to see Kramer as a great friend despite his craziness. It's a very early episode, but it almost comes like an episode that could have came two or three seasons later.
Coming back to these first few seasons I'm amazed at how well done Seinfeld was early on. They were trying things different than your typical sitcom and most of the time, landing in success. The Deal is no different. It manages to incorporate all four characters. Great banter between Jerry and George. Elaine getting quite a bit of attention. Kramer having a very nice side. Overall, the first two seasons are something and show how much they were trying to get their foot in the door.
Score: 7 out of 10 Season 1 Score: 7 out of 10 Season 2 Score: 7.5 out of 10
As far as new reviews go, I have no clue what will be next, so no review next week. Maybe I'll target some video games that I have been playing recently to give some thoughts into them. Until then, enjoy these reviews of Seinfeld. Home to that and reviews of The Simpsons Shorts.

The TV Revival: Why the Push?
Over the last few years, there has been this push to bring back beloved shows and set them in a current era. Some, like Twin Peaks, are held in high regard and fans will cherish that for a very long time. Then there's shows like Will & Grace, where they are a complete bomb and are berated for not being what they used to be. So why are networks wanting to bring back some of these older shows?
There's not really an answer that directly is the reason for a revival. I'll go with Nickelodeon for an example. They know they got older fans. Hence why they are making movies based on some of their 90s shows. With Hey Arnold, Rocko's Modern Life, and even Invader Zim getting their own films for television, they somewhat understand their origins of why they were loved 20, 25 years ago. While they may still go after the younger generation, there is still a soft spot for the older generation of 90s kids. There are ideas for what could be revived, so there's chances of not ruling out other shows like Rugrats and whatever live action stuff was on the channel.
Maybe a reason is to see how a certain set of characters are for a new era. One of the curious things is one of the newest revivals, Roseanne. When it first aired in 1988, it was a blue collar and stayed down to earth compared to The Cosby Show and Married... With Children. It was part of that era that pushed for a more realistic look at family, making certain sitcoms feel very fresh and unique. This one is an odd choice to revive, but who knows how people will react. It has the same cast and probably will tackle some issues and deliver on laughs. Some websites have praised that it stays true to what made it great 30 years ago. It's just a matter of how viewers will feel about it when it airs.
The same can be said for something like The X Files. It was one of Fox's biggest shows of the 90s, and has held onto a decent run of new episodes the last couple of years. I'd say part of it is fans wanting more. With all this conspiracy stuff and internet website theories, it's lightning in a bottle for anyone craving for more adventures of Mulder and Scully solving cases, whether or not the truth is out there. There will always be shows, short lived or long running, that will always have fans wanting new episodes.
Another possibility is people thinking something from back then worked, and trying something different with it for a new era. What I mean is a new set of characters and/or new ideas in a setting that was used years ago. It also applies to movies as well. Unfortunately, there's nothing that is coming to my mind.
I see this fad going on for another few years and then dwindling down. That doesn't mean revivals are going to stop completely. However, new content will always keep interest for a longer set of years if loved by both critics and fans.

Wii Virtual Console Overview Part II
Let's continue on.
One of the first new systems to come along was the Neo-Geo in 2007. Anybody that knows about it knows how expensive it is to get the hardware and the software. The total costs would be the equivalent of buying a house. Still, there was a steady stream of releases going on until 2013. Just over 50 made it to Virtual Console. It has the Metal Slugs, King of Fighters, and whatever else made it to the system back then. It's got a good majority of the library. I would try to look for compilations immediately before figuring out what games to go after. Either way, you want to save yourself from spending hundreds, if not, thousands, on the system.
A year later came the Sega Master System. Like the Turbo, it's not an easy system to find. Unfortunately, it only has 15 titles. It's arcade ports, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Alex Kidd as it's lineup. This system died on the service in less than two years. Still, I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to get some of these games considering the prices. Anybody looking for Sonic for this 8-bit console knows exactly what I am talking about.
The Arcade selection started in 2009. It only got just over 20 games from four companies altogether. I really don't have much to say on it Like the Neo Geo, I would look at compilations first immediately, and then figure out which ones to target. You don't want to miss out on the arcade versions of ones like Golden Axe, Super Hang On, and Ghosts n Goblins.
Virtual Console did have one other system. That was the Commodore 64, which lived and died in 2009 and got delisted in 2013. So what's my assessment on this? The systems to target are the SNES, Turbografx-16, and Neo-Geo. There are some select titles you should try to get from the Genesis, N64, Master System, and Arcade. Make sure you have enough space to download and maybe get an SD card to store your data and games. Each system is varied in price, so make your choice before buying. Happy hunting, and enjoy the last of the Virtual Console.

Wii Virtual Console Overview Part 1
The only times I have ever played Virtual Console was on the Wii over a two year period from 2010 through 2012. It was mostly Mario Kart 64 and Mario 64. Not to mention I saw others playing Rondo of Blood and a few other titles from other systems. From the get go, Nintendo had the service at launch with five systems. Three of theirs and two competitors. As time went on, they expanded to a few other systems. Some survived, while others were discontinued very quickly. Before it shuts down the ability to use Wii Points, let's go through the systems and games it had through the North American market.
Let's begin with the Nintendo Entertainment System. It had a steady flow of games from launch up until 2012. This one had quite a bit of support from different companies. Obviously, Nintendo with their vast array of titles. Tecmo put a lot of their releases on Virtual Console like Mighty Bomb Jack. Konami had their heavy hitters in as well as Taito and Jaleco. Capcom surprisingly didn't have many. It was mainly Mega Man. There's a few others like Namco, but overall, it is your last chance to get titles that are cheap to download. You got just over 90 games to choose from.
Super Nintendo Entertainment System had the most varied of the Nintendo systems. Most of the same companies put their heavy hitters on Virtual Console. Capcom really gave it their effort to put Street Fighter, Final Fight, and a few others on. Unfortunately, most of their games were delisted a few years ago, so no chance of getting them cheap. Out of all the systems on the service, it lost quite a bit of games, leaving you with just over 60. Nintendo still put up the effort, though there are some notable omissions. Konami and Tecmo went all out. LucasArts were in with their titles, including the Star Wars games. Overall, there is variety, and you might want to buy the few essentials since some of the cart versions go for an arm and a leg.
Last of the Nintendo systems is the 64. It's disappointing that it only got 21 titles. Nearly all of it is Nintendo games. Still, there's most of the Mario stuff, Zelda, Smash Bros., Pokemon. There's also Bomberman, Ogre Battle, and Sin and Punishment, a Japan only release back then that made it to Virtual Console. The system is a victim of companies going bankrupt which includes quite a bit of games from Acclaim and Midway. I know Konami and Capcom didn't release much for it back in the 90s, but they could have at least tried to put something on the service. Obviously, Rare games can't be put on board since Microsoft owns them. Like the SNES, try to get the few essentials because of high prices for some of the carts.
Sega got into the mix from the start of the system's launch with the Genesis. It's got the second most titles with just over 70. A number of titles are ones you see in compilations. Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, Columns. The list goes on. It's mostly a Sega library list, but there are some ones that made it to Virtual Console. Capcom had a few like Street Fighter and Ghouls n Ghosts. Namco put out a couple games. Interesting titles include some Interplay games like Boogerman and Earthworm Jim. A few exclusives outside the US are the Game Freak developed Pulseman and Sega's Monster World IV. What you do with this system for Virtual Console, I don't care. Personally, I would try to go after the ones you don't typically see in compilations. A prime example is M.U.S.H.A. A copy goes for literally hundreds of dollars, so try to get ones that you know will disappear for good.
Last of the launch service systems is the Turbografx-16. It's not an easy system to find in terms of hardware and software. Hudson Soft bought into this and brought a good chunk of the library over. The list is just shy of 60 titles. There's shooters like Galaga 90 and system sellers such as Splatterhouse. Other notables include Falcom's Ys, and Konami's Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. This is a system to target since you don't see them out in the wild. Try to get what you think you will like before you can't add more points.

Seinfeld: The Revenge Review
When Larry David worked on Saturday Night Live, barely any of his skits made it to air. If they did, it was very late in the airing. He would quit and try to come back the next day and act like it never happened. With that in mind, his script of Seinfeld's The Revenge is his incident in the form of George, although a little different.
This is the start of George without a steady job over the next few seasons. He blows up in front of his boss for what seems like no reason and then explains to Jerry about the reason why. Everybody in the real estate office uses the bosses private bathroom and he gets a memo. He blows up in front of his boss and quits. Unfortunately, he feels like he has made a big mistake. The two discuss what to do with other jobs and Jerry comes up with the decision to go back as if nothing happened.
George goes back and his boss doesn't buy into him raging into his quitting. He decides to get his revenge by giving him a Mickey Finn at a party. The set up to do it, quite honestly, is pretty weak and not too funny. This is also the only time Elaine is given screen time. She plays the role of flirting with George's boss quite well, and it's the highlight for the scene. The lengths she goes to be decent until saying something to catch his attention is a nice feat to try.
Jerry and Kramer's storyline is getting ripped off at the laundromat. They both do a set and after the weekend, Jerry has a meltdown. He had a lot of money in his laundry bag, and smooth negotiations go sour with the guy running the place. Kramer decides to get back by putting concrete in the machines. It becomes a sight to see with the mannerisms and movements. His other story, while small but important is dealing with Newman. When it first aired, Larry David voiced the unseen character, who was thinking about suicide and jumping off the building. When they got their guy a year later, they dubbed over it with Wayne Knight doing David's lines.
Overall, it's a good episode, but the second half of it is carried by the laundromat plot.
Score: 7 out of 10

SC6: What Went Wrong
Not too long ago, SC6, the 6 P.M. hour of SportsCenter for ESPN had its last broadcast. When it debuted last year, it was looking to cater to a younger generation of people and a different set as well. It was hosted by Michael Smith and Jemele Hill, two that have worked on other things for the network. However, it never clicked and endured controversy. Last month, Hill finished and left SportsCenter. Smith has since followed suit. So, what went wrong?
When you have a sports network, you are looking for highlights of games, scores of certain teams, the whole package. In an era now where it seems every big name athlete is speaking politically, ESPN tried to cash in on it. It went beyond sports. However, that did not convince viewers. I don't get why they had to retool. Just regular SportsCenter was fine. I didn't have any issue watching Lindsay Czarniak and whoever else they had if I had it on the channel on that hour before it became SC6.
Of course, we always hear people criticize presidents. With Donald Trump as the new president, that didn't sit well with Hill. She created controversy with racist comments about him and criticism towards Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones over the National Anthem protests. She would be suspended for a few weeks. That's good enough to convince audiences to give up on SC6. Hill has been known to create certain racial controversies and the network had enough of her.
I don't know what else you can really say. ESPN did not like how it was going. Smith has been vocal about them getting rid of certain parts of SC6. While he is within his rights to not be pleased, he has to realize the issue. Controversy and change is not always a good thing. The point of a sports network is to watch what went on in different sports leagues during the day or night before. They are not watching to hear when whiny brat LeBron James has to say politically, or how some NFL player got offended so easily over something stupid. With viewers cutting the cord on cable, it came at the wrong time and the hosts ruined it themselves.
ESPN has a long way to go to get back to being the way that they used to be.
