HBO’s decision to bring back “Project Greenlight” was puzzling to say the least. The previous three seasons resulted in mediocre movies, and by season three the show itself was beginning to deteriorate in quality as well. Even though it was obvious the movie would be another dud after watching one episode of season four, the show is still worth viewing since the people on display this season were more outlandish and dramatic than HBO ever could have wished.

Full disclosure: I love Jerrod Carmichael. He may very well be my favorite active comedian. I don’t know how many times I have watched or recommended his HBO special “Love at the Store,” but I’d be willing to bet any reasonable guess would be far too low. On his HBO special, Carmichael is supremely loose, confident and comfortable. It is absolutely hilarious while still pushing the boundaries on usually taboo topics like race, domestic violence and sexual assault.

USA Network has long been a safe harbor in the often-overwhelming sea of television choices, offering non-challenging shows with procedurally formatted single-season arcs. — a reputation embraced since stumbling upon the successful “Burn Notice” in 2007. It seems to be able to churn out endless hours of this palatable content under different names, year in and year out.

Since its inception, Pixar has been making people laugh, cry and feel a whole other host of emotions with stories based around characters which are usually not even human. Their bouncing lamp’s distaste for the letter ‘I’ is a Pavlovian trigger for audiences to expect a film with the highest level of storytelling and production imaginable and practically guarantees at least one character with which the audience will be totally enamored in a few short hours. To do all of this with real people on screen would be an awesome accomplishment, and to do it with animated characters is a feat that is simply astounding. Pixar seems to repeatedly showcase just that with ease.

Sunday night has always and will always be the best time for television dramas. Now, with “Game of Thrones,” the final season of “Mad Men,” and network powerhouse “The Good Wife,” all playing on this hallowed field, HBO has competition. Historically, HBO has aired almost all of its original content Sunday, so that’s not necessarily a notable shift, but what is notable are the incredible comedies with which the premium cable giant is having share the spotlight.

Superheroes and live action TV shows have never worked together — it is too expensive to show cool stuff audiences may want to see, and superheroes ultimately end up lackluster. The hero, Daredevil, however, is perfect for television. He doesn’t change shape, shoot laser beams or fly — he is a blind man whose power is that he can kind of see — and was trained by a ninja. Having developed a savior complex for the decrepit part of New York he grew up in, Daredevil runs around protecting potential victims from street criminals using his super senses. He is a person — like you and I — which not only makes him compelling, but easy and cheap to film.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” is certainly a startling example of this. Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, the dynamic duo behind “30 Rock” and one of the best “Saturday Night Live” runs in decades, concocted the idea for “Kimmy Schmidt” based off of the horrible events of the Ariel Castro kidnappings.

Ghostface Killah has always been nearly impossible to predict. His releases, besides the Wu-Tang Clan, have offered an eclectic mix, especially the most recent ones. However, his latest release — “Sour Soul” — is perhaps the furthest departure from the persona associated with him. The album is a collaboration with Canadian jazz trio BadBadNotGood, an instrumental group who got their start covering hip-hop and rap songs in a nontraditional way. BBNG has ties to Odd Future, and has been deemed “The Odd Trio,” as a nod to their frequent work with the Tyler, The Creator-led musical collective.

Originally intended as a spin-off of “The Office” with Ed Helms or Craig Robinson playing a lynchpin part, “Parks and Recreation” was so unsure of itself during its first season that even the all-star cast couldn’t have saved it.

Rap star Lupe Fiasco’s last two albums have left a lot to be desired. While 2011’s “Lasers” was commercially successful, it was not a product of the super-lyrical Lupe that used to be the subject of ire from the likes of the not-so-lyrical Soulja Boy. His next release, 2012’s “Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1,” shared much of the disappointment “Lasers” brought. The result was more akin to a political think piece than a rap album and came nowhere close to living up to its namesake — the incredible “Food & Liquor,” Fiasco’s debut.
