Intro, Which Means I Start It

Hello everybody. My name is Mekii Kauapirura, but you can call me Mike Anderson. And to help keep me occupied during the summer, I'm starting my very own blog called Live-Action Lepers. This blog is meant to criticize bad episodes of bad shows, bad episodes of good shows, or bad episodes of shows that were declining at the time. I'm heavily inspired by The Mysterious Mr. Enter and his two cartoon-based series (Animated Atrocities and Admirable Animation).

Now, unlike Mr. Enter, I'm all for taking requests. My range of live-action shows isn't limited, but I want to let the readers know that they're involved in the process of the show as well. I don't know how long I'll be doing this or how many episodes you get each week. Maybe one because I'm also going to do Laudatory Live-Action, which salutes great episodes of good shows, great episodes of relatively bad shows, and great episodes of shows suffering through Seasonal Rot. I think I might have more material for this blog, however. So feel free to ask me which Live-Action Leper I should do for the second installment.

I wanted to enter the whole TV show reviewing thing for a while because, I love television. I take it seriously and I'm very interested in the current landscape of animation. I'm also very interested in the current landscape of live-action teen sitcoms, more so than animation. This is also meant to differentiate from my contemporaries, as not many people choose to focus on live-action series at all. If anything, animation is more complex than live-action because there's so much you can do in that field. So it's very easy to point out the flaws and high points of live-action shows. For the most part, I'll focus on teen sitcoms, but I'll also focus on classic shows like Who's the Boss? and Full House, black sitcoms like The Parkers, and who knows? If it's live-action, I won't have a problem doing it. Your requests might help me find new shows to bash or start watching. I'm also very interested in hip-hop music so you'll probably see me leave a song at the bottom of every post that you might listen to. And if you don't, check it out.

I'm just warning you beforehand: My opinions may shock you. I actually have television knowhow but my tastes are kinda eccentric so you might be surprised what I think is worthy of Laudatory Live-Action. So why don't we get to it then with my first choice for Live-Action Lepers?
