<p>Starting college can be a stressful time for anyone, but in some situations, things end up being a little more than what you’d expect. Take these two shows for example - Blue Mountain State and Fresh Meat - the characters in these shows are thrown into scenarios where they are forced or agree to do some….difficult things.</p> <p>Blue Mountain State (1:41) - Being a star athlete on a powerhouse college football team has its perks, but it also means you have to subject yourself to the initiation that just about any college group makes its freshman go through - hazing. But this isn’t just nicknames and small pranks hazing, it’s a slew of degrading tasks, humiliating punishments, and blatant over-sexualization. Will the new all-star freshman be able to survive Hell Week?</p> <p>Fresh Meat (31:29) - Getting into Uni is hard enough as is, but even still some universities don’t have the room to fit all their freshman into dorm housing. And for these 5 new faces, getting forced into group housing was not exactly the way they wanted to start the new school year. But as long as they don’t find themselves immediately getting into awkward situations, they should be fine…</p> <p>Instagram: @BackToThePilot</p> <p>E-Mail: <a href="mailto:BackToThePilot@gmail.com">BackToThePilot@gmail.com</a></p> <p>Music: <a href="https://www.epidemicsound.com/">https://www.epidemicsound.com</a></p>

<p>In the world of family sitcoms, the early years were insistent on showing what life was like in the perfect household. A lovingly married couple, two happy children, everyone getting along, and almost no concerns with everyday struggles. But in the late 80s and into the 90s shows began to change the way we see families. And two of the shows with the biggest impacts were Married…With Children and 3rd Rock From the Sun.</p> <p>3rd Rock From the Sun (02:46) - Crash landed on Earth, a group of aliens find themselves among the humans, fascinated with their lifestyles and oddities. Assuming the forms of a family of four, they blend in with their surroundings to better research their subject. But the more they learn, the more confused they seem to be. Surely more time on the planet will teach them everything they need to know about what it means to be human.</p> <p>Married…With Children (30:39) - Al Bundy is the prototypical working class man - a full-time job, a stay-at-home wife, and two children who don’t quite get along. But one thing that sets him apart from the others is his ability to speak his mind no matter the situation. So hopefully you aren’t the sensitive type because there’s no one who throws insults around like him. But at the end of the day, he still loves his wife and kids, and will always do right by them.</p> <p>Instagram: @BackToThePilot</p> <p>E-Mail: <a href="mailto:BackToThePilot@gmail.com">BackToThePilot@gmail.com</a></p> <p>Music: <a href="https://www.epidemicsound.com/">https://www.epidemicsound.com</a></p>

<p>The law is an interesting thing. For those who follow it, they rarely think about anything more than the surface level legality of their everyday lives. But for those who don’t - or walk the thin line separating the two - it’s almost as if they have to be experts in the matter just to know how far they can go and exactly how to get away scot-free. So what better way to entertain than to combine the two into a single show? Or in this case - two shows - Billions and Suits.</p> <p>Suits (4:06) - Practicing law take a lot of hard work and dedication. On top of the 8 years of education, you also have to pass one of the most difficult professional exams out there, the Bar examination. But what if you never graduated law school and passed the Bar anyway? Legally, you aren’t allowed to sit for it, but does that make you any less qualified? Luckily we can explore exactly that scenario when Mike Ross convinces Harvey Spectre to sign him on as an associate thanks to his quick wit and perfect memory.</p> <p>Billions (35:56) - In law, we often think of things in extremes - right and wrong; good and bad; justice and evil - but in reality, the law tends to be much greyer than that. And sometimes it seems that just because someone has broken the law, doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve done something bad or vice versa. But in Billions, it’s a little bit different. Just because someone seems as though all they do is good, doesn’t really mean that they’re a good person. But surely the US Attorney is always going to do the right thing. And a man who donates large sums of money to charity could never be bad….right?</p> <p>Instagram: @BackToThePilot</p> <p>E-Mail: BackToThePilot@gmail.com</p> <p><strong>Music:</strong><a href="https://www.epidemicsound.com/"> https://www.epidemicsound.com</a></p>
