Days- This is a science fiction show about the end of the world. Scientists discover that the world will end as we know it within 1,000 days from an asteroid hitting the earth and a series of solar flares. At first the show is about the people who discover these things and wonder if they should even tell everyone or if its better if people live their remaining days oblivious and happy . By episode 6 the info gets out and it really starts changing the dynamics of society as people react differently to the news of their impending doom. The government tries its best to find ways to stop the disasters from happening but it doesn’t look like they can stop it but only lessen the damage. Season 2 would start with the painful selection process of who to save and let stay in secret government bunkers with the slight hope of rebuilding society after the disasters happen.. Tagline: How will you spend your last days? (syfy)

Heyimafishy- This is a movie about a friendship between a talking fish and a young boy. The fish grew up in the waters outside of Three Mile Island and due to the radioactivity developed rudimentary talking skills by observing workers that walked by. One day a young boy finds the fish flapping on the shoreline and saves it. The fish tells the young boy "Thank you". The boy soon gets over the shock of a fish talking and develops a friendship and meets it at the pond everyday as he is walking home from school. Things take a turn when the boy starts developing radiation sickness by being near the pond so much and its set to be drained after his parents complain to the county.

Homer – This a drama about minor league baseball stars who hope to make it in the big leagues and poses the question: How long someone should hold onto a childhood dream of playing baseball? We see the sacrifices, the success and the disappointments of all the players on the team. In the first episode the players all hope to hit a home run to impress a talent scout. One of the main characters hits a home run and is nicknamed Homer by the team. The show title is somewhat misleading as the one named nicknamed Homer gets in a stupid accident that (while not life threatening) ruins his chances of ever playing pro ball. His nickname still stands though and becomes a mascot and cheerleader for the team. There are hopes such plot twists like these will keep people intrigued.
Hoot- They made this one already . It’s a movie about owls. Here’s the trailer, and if a movie about owls isn’t enough for you it has new music by Jimmy Buffet!
