NCIS is an American action police procedural television series, revolving around a fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which investigates crimes involving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.

The Young and the Restless (often abbreviated as Y&R) is an American television soap opera created by William J.

Bell and Lee Phillip Bell for CBS.

The show is set in a fictional Wisconsin town called Genoa City, which is unlike and unrelated to the real life village of the same name, Genoa City, Wisconsin.

First broadcast on March 26, 1973, The Young and the Restless was originally broadcast as half-hour episodes, five times a week.

The show expanded to one-hour episodes on February 4, 1980.

In 2006, the series began airing encore episodes weeknights on SOAPnet until 2013, when Y&R moved to TVGN (now Pop).

Pop still airs the encore episodes on weeknights, starting July 1, 2013.

The series is also syndicated internationally.

Big Brother is a television reality game show based on an originally Dutch TV series of the same name created by producer John de Mol in 1997.

The series follows a group of contestants, known as HouseGuests, who are living together in a custom-built home under constant surveillance.

The HouseGuests are completely isolated from the outside world, and can have no communication with those not in the house.

The contestants are competing for a $500,000 grand prize, with weekly competitions and evictions determining who will win the show.

The series takes its name from the character in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984).

The series launched on July 5, 2000 to a successful start, though ratings and critical reaction continued to grow increasingly negative.

This led to the second season being a revamp of the show, featuring a more competition-based challenge.

The series has since continued to be a hit for CBS, and is the second longest-running adaptation of the series to date, after the Spanish adaptation.

Saturday Night Live (abbreviated as SNL) is an American late-night live television sketch comedy and variety show created by Lorne Michaels and developed by Dick Ebersol.

The show premiered on NBC on October 11, 1975, under the original title NBC's Saturday Night'.

The show's comedy sketches, which parody contemporary culture and politics, are performed by a large and varying cast of repertory and newer cast members.

Each episode is hosted by a celebrity guest (who usually delivers an opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast) and features performances by a musical guest.

An episode normally begins with a cold open sketch that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming, "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!", properly beginning the show.

Survivor is the American version of the international Survivor reality competition television franchise, itself derived from the Swedish television series Expedition Robinson created by Charlie Parsons which premiered in 1997.
