June 7-13: The OJ saga begins, Garfield is on screen (the first time), video games bust a move, Nicole Kidman is a robot, dragons continue to be trained, TLC is on fire, Zelda gets more swords, Tracy Morgan has a close call, and the Nights Watch fights mammoths. All that and more from 30, 20, and 10 years ago.

The Fault in Our Stars has the opposite problem of cinema's first (abandoned) attempt at a Fantastic Four movie, a great Tom Cruise movie with a bad title, Sopranos penultimate finale, Harry Potter movies click into gear, the greatest abortion comedy ever made, and Game of Throne and Silicon Valley hit series highs!

Angle, Static Shock, Bob Ross and TNG come to a close, X-Men returns to form, the Babadook continues to haunt us, happiness and adventure return to the modern movie western just as Brisco County Jr says bids adieu, Aladdin and Shrek get sequels, and we celebrate the final piece of the Sandler/Barrymore trilogy.

Brandon Lee leaves a damn good legacy, the last time anybody saw The Jetsons, Godzilla Raids Again (again!), Frasier Crane says goodbye (again!), Spike Lee changes course, Homer adapted, the greatest dream seqeunce in all of television, Penny Dreadful and more! Take a look at our world 30, 20, and 10 years ago!

There's a Robin Williams movie out there that deserves a proper restoration, Universal kills its Monsters Universe AGAIN, Seth Rogen and Zach Effron must learn how to live together, Stephen King's second most famous TV mini-series, Being Human should be properly restored, Friends are no longer there for you, arguably Jurassic Park's best game, and as always, it's the children who are wrong. 

Spider-Man falters, John Oliver breaks out, Principal Skinner gets fired, PCU is appropriately dated, only YOU can save JFK, and Mean Girls might be the best high school movies of the entire 2000s.
