Hey, hey, hey Dacetacular Nation! Chris "The Dace Man" Dace here to honor some of television's hit TV shows as we roll into the 2014/2015 season! Join me on this quest as I bring to you some must-see TV shows this year!
I will be the first to admit that by no means am I a fan of Andy Samberg, but his show on FOX is starting to win me over. Next up on Must See TV here on Fanboys Anonymous is Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, the FOX sitcom stars Andy Samberg, Terry Crews, Chelsea Peretti, and Andre Braugher.
The first season ended up taking home two Golden Globe Awards, one for Best Television Series: Musical or Comedy and one for Andy Samberg for Best Actor. Samberg definitely made me eat my words and earn new respect for him. That's why the next season is on my list of must see television for fall of 2014.
The second season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine premieres on September 28, 2014 on FOX.

Microsoft announced Monday that they have reached an agreement with Mojang, the company behind the cult video game built around virtual blocks with vast customizable worlds. Following a hefty deal, Minecraft will be incorporated into Microsoft Studios.
The software giant's $2.5 billion deal with the Swedish indie video game studio comes with the obvious caveat: don't mess this up! But the announcement left many Minecraft fans worried about the future of the game and taking to the Minecraft forums to voice their concerns.
"Minecraft will continue to evolve, just like it has since the start of development," Mojang said following the announcement. "We don't know specific plans for Minecraft's future yet, but we do know that everyone involved wants the community to grow and become even more amazing than it's ever been. Stopping players making cool stuff is not in anyone's interests."
Although vague about the potential shift in its 40 employees, Mojang stated that, "Though it's too early to confirm which of us will continue working on Minecraft or other projects [such as Scrolls], we predict that the vast majority (if not all) Mojangstas will continue to work at Mojang for the time being."
One thing's for sure, Mojang's three founders—Markus "Notch" Persson, Carl Manneh, and Jakob Porser—will be leaving the company. Notch, the creator of Minecraft, previously stepped down from development on the game with plans to continue working on small game prototypes and web experiments.
"I don't see myself as a real game developer," Notch said on his website explaining that it wan't about the money. "I make games because it's fun, and because I love games and I love to program, but I don't make games with the intention of them becoming huge hits, and I don't try to change the world. Minecraft certainly became a huge hit, and people are telling me it's changed games."
Microsoft, which released franchises such as Halo and Fable, pledged that the deal will allow them to bring "richer and faster worlds, more powerful development tools, and more opportunities to connect across the Minecraft community."
Buying Mojang isn't a major financial bet for Microsoft, which has about $85 billion in cash reserves, so the deal makes sense even if they don't substantially profit off it. Released in 2009 with more than 100 million downloads on PC, both companies have worked together since 2012 while Minecraft quickly became the top online game on Xbox Live, boasting over two billion hours played on the Xbox 360 in the past two years. Microsoft's acquisition lets them appeal to a younger audience and tap into the most active community that continues to make the game as widely popular across all of its platforms—which includes the second most popular app purchase on iTunes. The deal will also bring the game to Windows phones, boosting its mobile efforts to bridge the gap between the amount of compelling apps that are available on iPhone and Android phones.
"I love you all. All of you," Notch said in closing of his post. "Thank you for turning Minecraft into what it has become, but there are too many of you, and I can't be responsible for something this big. In once sense, it belongs to Microsoft now. In a much bigger sense, it's belonged to all of you for a long time, and that will never change."

Hey, hey, hey Dacetacular Nation! Chris "The Dace Man" Dace here to honor some of television's hit TV shows as we roll into the 2014/2015 season! Join me on this quest as I bring to you some must-see TV shows this year!
The next show on our list makes its debut this year. Now, many of us comic book fans are reveling in the golden era of comic book movies and TV, and this new show only adds to the allure. FOX's Gotham is created by Bruno Heller and stars Ben McKenzie (James Gordon), Donal Logue (Harvey Bullock), Jada Pinkett Smith (Fish Mooney), and Sean Pertwee (Afred PennyWorth)
Gotham allows us to look into the Batman Universe before Bruce Wayne became The Dark Knight. The TV series will follow a young James Gordon in the city of Gotham and look into the world of the mainstream villains before they became the evil icons we know today.
Being a big fan of Batman and comic books in general, there was no way yours truly could pass up this premiere event. James Gordon has always been a fascinating character in the world of Batman, so it's great to see him get the spotlight to himself.
The premiere season of Gotham premieres September 22, 2014 on FOX.

Hey, hey, hey Dacetacular Nation! Chris "The Dace Man" Dace here to honor some of television's hit shows as we roll into the 2014/2015 season! Join me on this quest as I bring to you some must see TV shows this year!
To kick off this event, we will first examine a show I recently binged watched on NetFlix and has currently entered into it's sixth season! The League premiered on FX on October 29, 2009 and is set in Chicago, Illinois. The Show follows a group of six friends as their lives revolve around their fantasy football league. The show was created by Jeff Schaffer and Jackie Schaffer and stars Mark Duplass (Pete Eckhart), Nick Kroll (Rodney Ruxin), Stephen Rannazzisi (Kevin MacArthur), Paul Scheer (Dr. Andre Nowzick), Jon Lajoie (Taco MacArthur), and Katie Aselton (Jenny MacArthur).
The show immediately caught my attention due to the style of humor they portray. It originally starts off as a group of guys who get together every Fall to hold their fantasy league drafts and concludes at the end of the season with a winner of The Shiva! The guys use most of the episodes to taunt and trash talk each other, as well as play into scenarios of trying to capture free agents and adjust line ups which usually goes horrible wrong.
To me, the best part of the show is usually the side stories not involving the league. The side stories that revolve around Taco and his Taco Corp. usually ensue with a misunderstanding on how business works or an invention that really makes no sense. Taco, being one of the members of the fantasy league who expresses zero interest in the league and has somehow won The Shiva in the past, usually has side stories that are very entertaining. Another side character who is a complete wild card is Ruxin's brother in-law Rafi. Rafi is a character where you come to expect the unexpected with him, ranging from a shady background to unpredictable reactions to events currently happening.
The sixth season of The League premiered September 3, 2014 on FX.
