Ethan Nichtern was 9 when The Princess Bride hit the big screen 30 years ago. He saw the film back then because of a family connection—Nichtern’s father was best. People seem to come in all shapes and sizes. Do any other animals display the same amount of variation in size as humans among healthy adults?

Whatever age of television this is — gold, platinum, trusty tin — what's certain is that there's more TV to sort through than ever before. There's so much, it can be hard to know where to even start looking for something you'd like. So here's a handy guide to some of the shows worth watching in 2. Fresh Off the Boat (ABC, Jan.

The Texarkana Gazette is the premier source for local news and sports in Texarkana and the surrounding Arklatex areas. Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen's sketch comedy making fun of hipsters in Portland has started its seventh and penultimate season. This time, the show pillories.

Constance Wu is back from hiatus! Fresh Off the Boat is a tight, funny family sitcom that's developed outward from its original premise thanks to its immensely strong cast. The show started off from the point of view of Eddie Huang (played by Hudson Yang), a Taiwanese- American kid who loves rap and doesn't quite fit into his family — but it quickly expanded to center its other characters, including Eddie's father (Randall Park), his brothers, and his mother (Wu, who steals every scene).

FOTB dedicated a lot of its third season to exploring what immigration means. Even the episode titles: "Coming From America," "How to Be an American" and "Citizen Jessica" register the show's interest in exploring what those concepts meant in the '9. Man Seeking Woman (FX, Jan. Simon Rich's witty surrealist comedy about an average guy named Josh (Jay Baruchel) looking for love is back for its third season. The show's quirky premise — what if you showed up at a party and your ex was dating literally Hitler? Katie Findlay as Lucy, Josh's fiancé, the third season is the best yet.

It's as tight as ever and the Indiana Jones parody is sure to be a fan favorite. Blackish (ABC, Jan. The award- winning comedy — about an upper- middle- class black family negotiating the mismatch between racist stereotypes and their reality — spent much of its third season dealing with the election. Many of those engagements are funny, but some episodes that aired after the mid- season hiatus, like "Lemons," transcend comedy by dealing frankly and sadly with the aftermath.

What happens when the winners and losers are supposed to be on the same team?" Dre asked, distressed that his son's classmates yelled "Send her back!" at their Spanish teacher and frustrated by his own coworkers' inability to conduct business. Seriously. I'm really asking. What happens?" It's a difficult episode filled with hard confrontations between people who disagree — and one that directly addresses the present, the way shows like Murphy Brown used to. Portlandia (IFC, Jan. Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen's sketch comedy making fun of hipsters in Portland has started its seventh and penultimate season. This time, the show pillories men's rights activists, tech startups, people who cut sugar out of their diet, and that fad where major artists drop a surprise album.

Now that Toni and Candace have retired from running the Women and Women First bookstore, they've been unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Guest stars include Laurie Metcalf, Claire Danes, Vanessa Bayer, Jeff Tweedy, Rachel Dratch, and Judy Greer. One Day at a Time (Netflix, Jan. This delightful multi- camera sitcom — an adaptation of the 1.

TV legend Norman Lear, EGOT winner Rita Moreno, and executive producers Gloria Calderón Kellett (whose credits include How I Met Your Mother and Mixology) and Mike Royce (showrunner for Louis CK's Lucky Louie). It's the story of a Cuban- American nurse and veteran, her two children, and her mother. This is not a sophisticated or meta or complex show. It's simply well- built. It's funny and smart and retro, and yes, it might make you cry.

Crazy Ex- Girlfriend (CW, Jan. Back for a two- hour mid- season premiere, Rachel Bloom's comedy about a woman who left her high- paying law firm to follow her teenage crush to West Covina, California, is one of the funniest, smartest, most satisfying satires on TV. The musical parodies are exceptional, the entire cast can sing, and almost every song hits its mark with weird, almost worrying perfection. Think Flight of the Conchords, but with more singers. The show's sophomore season went eerily dark for awhile: It looked like Rebecca Bunch was finally going to face up to her demons. Not so! She wanted Josh Chan, and now she has him. Will that be enough?

Or will Bunch, who's now engaged to the man of her dreams, finally have to face the consequences of buying into a romance culture whose narratives are (let's face it) pretty toxic? Taboo (FX, Jan. 1. The protagonist of Tom Hardy's period drama, created with his father Chips Hardy and Steven Knight, is named James Keziah Delaney. Delaney is an excellent swimmer. He is dangerous. He sports weird tattoos and a cross- shaped scar under his left eye. A rumored cannibal, he sometimes says things like "One thing Africa did not cure is that I still love you." His father bought his mother from a Native American tribe, he's in love with his sister, he almost died on a slave ship, and both his parents were insane.

This is a ridiculous show. Full Frontal With Samantha Bee (TBS, Jan. Full Frontal With Samantha Bee blossomed into a force to be reckoned with fast — so quickly that The.

New York Times published an article blaming her political show (which was just a few months old) for Hillary Clinton's failures. Few shows have found their feet this quickly; Bee, a Daily Show alum with a gift for nailing the inept, delivers fast acerbic fury where John Oliver is wry and Trevor Noah is, well, pleasant. Last season she interviewed Russian trolls hired to post online and female heads of state around the world (and President Obama). Her interview with Glenn Beck, once her ideological foe, became an internet sensation. This season, she has tackled Trump's immigration order and Jeff Sessions, and interviewed ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt and journalist Masha Gessen.

A Series of Unfortunate Events (Netflix, Jan. This eight- episode adaptation of Daniel Handler's Lemony Snicket novels mimics the feeling you get sitting in front of a fire while it storms outside. Patrick Warburton (Puddy from Seinfeld) warns you, as Lemony Snicket, to turn back now: This is a bad story with a bad middle and a bad end.

But the misadventures of the poor Baudelaire children are perversely pleasurable to watch. The kids are great, and Aasif Mandvi, K.

Todd Freeman, Joan Cusack, and Rhys Darby are terrifically inept caretakers. But no one — not even the viewer, frankly — has as much fun as Neil Patrick Harris does playing the villainous Count Olaf.

The Young Pope (HBO, Jan. Paolo Sorrentino's drama — about a maverick American pope wreaking havoc on a Church he deems both too tolerant and too corrupt — is as silly as it is opulent. Jude Law plays Lenny the Pope with Machiavellian gusto and fits of pique. Diane Keaton does what she can with a disappointingly thin role as his female consigliere, and Silvio Orlando steals many a scene as the scheming Cardinal Voiello, never more than when he confronts fellow cleric Javier Cámara while clutching a stuffed animal. This is worth watching just for the visual jokes and sumptuous cinematography. Baskets (FX, Jan.

Zach Galifianakis' oddball dramedy about a failing clown named Chip Baskets spent its first season plumbing the depressive depths of suburban Bakersfield, where he worked as a rodeo clown. The show's second season starts with Baskets on the road — or the rails, to be exact.

His stint as a train- hopping hobo ends when Baskets is variously rescued by his mother (played by a transcendent Louie Anderson) and in other ways by his Costco gal- pal Martha (Martha Kelly). You'll start this show for Galifianakis and stay with it for Anderson and Kelly. Jane the Virgin (CW, Jan. Back from its third season winter hiatus, the CW's tongue- in- cheek soap opera — about a woman who gave birth after being artificially inseminated by mistake — is back in all its bubbly, pastel- colored splendor.

This is a series that wears its telenovela twists lightly — people pull off faces, twins impersonate and paralyze each other — but it offers substance too.
