Iron Chef

A very humorous and interesting Japanese cooking show that is sometimes hosted on the Food Channel.

During the Iron Chef show, contestants usually have 20 minutes to craft gourmet meals using whatever ingredients they have on hand. The food is then reviewed on a 20-point scale based on how good it tasted, and how creatively the chef used the ingredients.

Harry Potter

It was okay until it became marketed as aggressively as Nintendo's Pokemon franchise. Now every new Harry Potter update is enough to induce severe migraines.

In three years time, parents across America and Europe will be too embarrased to even mention being suckered by the Harry Potter marketers.

SEGA Genesis

Also known as the SEGA Megadrive in Japan and Europe.

The first 16-bit home console ever made by SEGA. The hardware is based on a modification of SEGA's System 16 arcade hardware, which was created in 1985(?). The SEGA Genesis was released in 1988 and competed with Nintendo's Super NES system, which was released in 1991. Although the graphics and sound were obviously inferior to the Super NES, the quality gameplay and innovative uses of the Genesis's hardware limitations were more than enough to challenge Nintendo in the marketplace for the entire 9 years of its lifespan.

Some of the best games for the SEGA Genesis are the Sonic the Hedgehog series, the Streets of Rage series, Gunstar Heroes, Contra 4, Rocket Rat, Shinobi/Shadow Dancer, and Eternal Champions.
