Streaming TV is not a new concept, but its popularity is at an all-time high. Thanks to the wonder of on-demand viewing, fans of most TV series need not worry about catching their favorite show when it airs, or even setting up their DVR. To help you sort through the massive vault thatis Hulu's library — and to complement our picks for the best movies streaming on Hulu — we put together a list of the best shows on Hulu. From comediesto animated classics,we cover it all. Are you more of a Netflix person? No problem. We also rounded up the best TV shows on Netflix and the best movies on Netflix.
Thislist is continually updated to reflect recent Hulu offerings, as shows are frequently added and removed from the service.
Donald Glover is a modern Renaissance man: Since launching a comedy career via skits circulated on YouTube, he has since branched into rapping, acting, and even showrunning, with the remarkable, surreal comedy-drama Atlanta. The show follows a dogged college dropout named Earn (Glover), who sleeps at his on/off again girlfriend's place and struggles to provide for their child. When he learns that his cousin Alfred is starting to achieve success as a rapper — stage name: Paper Boi — Earn becomes his manager. There is not much of an overarching plot to Atlanta. Most episodes play out like short films, and the show experiments with a variety of stories and formats — one standout episode is presented entirely as an episode of a local interview show, complete with fake commercials. Daring and frequently poignant, Atlanta is one of the most exciting shows on TV today.
The age of the subversive sitcom continues with Better Things, a dark, caustic comedy about growing old and raising kids. The show follows Sam Fox (Pamela Adlon), a struggling actress raising three kids by herself in Los Angeles. Sam juggles her attempts to advance her career and have fun with her responsibility to her daughters, each of whom presents their own unique difficulties. Adlon and co-creator Louis C.K. previously worked on the surreal comedy-drama Louie, and Better Things shows a similar mean streak, narrowing in on the grimy, depressing aspects of parenthood that other sitcoms gloss over.
Most people probably don't consider the end of the world to be a hilarious scenario; thankfully, the creators of The Last Man on Earth were not deterred. The show finds humor in the apocalypse, following a man named Phil Miller (Will Forte), who wanders the ghost town of Tuscon after a viral outbreak destroys civilization. He eventually finds a companion, Carol Pilbasian (Kristen Schaal), but their personality quirks make life together problematic, to say the least. The Last Man on Earth is a strange show, and also a sharply written one, rendering it the kind of ambitious sitcom that only rarely comes along.
Great sketch shows have been in short supply for a while now, which makes it all the easier to appreciate the short but brilliant life of Key & Peele. Starring by former MADtv members Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, the show is an adventurous collection of sketches that blend absurdist humor and social commentary. See, for example, a skit in which white news anchors complain about the dangers of "black ice" on the streets at night, to the indignation of their black colleagues. Not every sketch is political, however; sometimes they just freak out about the latest Liam Neeson film. Both hosts bring a manic energy, and throw themselves fully into a variety of roles.
Cartoon Network has developed a reputation in recent years for surreal, wonderfully animated shows that can appeal to adults as well as kids. Regular Show fits into the new pantheon of the network's hits, alongside Adventure Time and Steven Universe, and it's not hard to see why. The show's colorful world and zany sense of humor are certain to entertain kids, but what really sets Regular Show apart is its focus on themes and feelings that adults know all too well. The show follows Mordecai and Rigby — a blue jay and a raccoon, respectively — two slackers who deal with the sort of angst and aimlessness common to people in their 20s. Funny, smart, and often just plain weird, Regular Show is an excellent, character-driven series.
Following a breakup with his long-term girlfriend, Josh Greenberg (Jay Baruchel) needs to rebound … badly. Man Seeking Woman chronicles his adventures in dating, which involve, among other things, dating a troll, attending a wedding in Hell, and fiddling with the space-time continuum in an attempt to fix relationship mistakes. The show explores common aspects of life and dating through surreal scenes; an episode where Josh is tempted to cheat on a current girlfriend, for example, finds him taking a trip to "boyfriend court" in his mind. The show's absurdist sense of humor at times makes it seem like a live-action cartoon, but the tone is balanced out by nuanced characters and some great performances. Baruchel is excellent as the somewhat charming, sometimes petulant Josh, and other characters — such as Josh's best friend, Mike (Eric Andre), and sister, Liz (Britt Lower) — add memorable performances of their own.
What South Park is the late-night animation, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is to sitcoms. Rob McElhenney, Glen Howerton, and Charlie Day — who also created and write the show — star as three best friends who kind of hate each other, while Kaitlin Olsen and Danny Devito round out the cast as the infamous Dee and Frank. The group often find itself in some of most absurd situations as the members push into the uncharted and irreverent comedic territory for which the show is well known, usually as a result of their own botched schemes.
Community has seen its fair share of ups and downs while on NBC but this Dan Harmon comedy is one of the funniest shows on TV — its first three seasons were, at least. The show centers around a group of newly acquainted friends who attend a blunder of a community college. Joel McHale, Chevy Chase, and Donald Glover headline this hilarious show while Jim Rash's turn as the dean is as funny as any character on TV. It's no longer on the airwaves, but Yahoo recently picked up the show for an online-only sixth season.
Cartoon Network's Adventure Time has amassed a huge audience over its six-season run, one that crosses over into numerous demographics, making it a contemporary classic for adults and kids alike. The stories of best friends Jake and Finn in the magical Land of Ooo are a joy to watch. Whether the duo are protecting the land from the evil (and misunderstood) Ice King or helping a young Vampire navigate her family life, Adventure Time captures a sense of adventure and fun, while providing a subtle maturity that speaks to older audiences.
Fans of NBC's other workplace comedy, The Office, will no doubt see some similarities in Parks and Recreation. Amy Poehler heads a hilarious cast comprised of comedian Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, and Chris Pratt. The show follows this cast of characters as they run a local parks and recreation department in the small town of Pawnee, Indiana. The writing and comedic timing is superb as Parks is a bonafide hit and features some of modern television's most memorable characters, such as the meat-loving Ron Swanson.
Parks and Recreation creators Michael Schur and Dan Goor struck comedy gold yet again with their action comedy, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Andy Samberg stars in the show, which focuses on a fictional police department precinct in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. Andre Braugher plays the yin to Andy Samberg's yang, providing dry, yet hilariously timed humor during each episode. In just its first season, Brooklyn Nine-Nine took home two Golden Globe trophies.
Ilana and her best friend Abbi are two 29-something women, living in New York. Abbi is a struggling artist, working at a fitness center while she attempts to get her career off the ground. Ilana, on the other hand, does everything in her power to avoid working, and instead pursues all manner of pleasurable distractions, including sexual escapes and consuming large amounts of marijuana. The two are often pulled into crazy scenarios, frequently as a consequence of one of Ilana's ill-conceived plots. Broad City has received high praise from critics due to its clever writing and subtle-yet-effective message of female empowerment.
Despite getting canceled by Fox in 2006, Ron Howard and Mitchell Hurwitz's Arrested Development saw critical success across the board. Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Michael Cera star as family members of the very dysfunctional Bluth family living in Newport Beach, California. The show centers around Michael Bluth (Bateman) as he's forced to assist his off-the-wall relatives after the family business comes under fire.
Seinfeld is a show that needs no introduction. Starring comedian Jerry Seinfeld, Julia-Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes, Jason Alexander as the neurotic George Costanza, and Michael Richards as the hilarious Kramer, each episode follows the group of friends as they endure the absurdities of life in the big city (along with their own foibles). Thankfully, the Emmy-winning sitcom has endured since its original run in the '90s, further solidifying it as one of the most popular and important comedies to ever air on television.
Creators Dan Harmon (Community) and Justin Roiland (House of Cosbys) teamed up to create one of the best animated comedies in year. The basic premise centers on Rick (Roiland), a scientist who employs the help of his grandson, Morty, to assist him with dangerous quests and various schemes across space and time. The Adult Swim series is chock full of biting satire and clever humor, and moreover, has garnered a cult following in the wake of its successful and highly-acclaimed first season.
If you enjoy history, but find history shows to be a little dry, why not add liquor? Comedy Central's Drunk History, which evolved from a Funny or Die web series, follows host Derek Waters and a revolving lineup of guests, who get drunk and recite stories from history, from big events like the revolutionary war to smaller ones like Edgar Allan Poe's feud with publisher Rufus Griswold. For each lecture, actors — generally notable comic actors such as Kristen Wiig or Bob Odenkirk — re-enact the events, going so far as to incorporate the narrator's mistakes or drunken tics. Watching Drunk History, you'll probably get a few laughs, and maybe even learn something new.
This off-kilter comedy typically flies under the radar, despite its impressive pedigree and unique story. The show follows Chip Baskets (Zach Galifianakis), an aspiring clown who, after dropping out of clown academy in Paris, moves back to California and takes a job as a rodeo clown. The show frequently examines Chip's failed relationships and his attempts to achieve his dreams. The comedy is dark, though it finds plenty of ways to mine humor out of one man's constant failure, and Galifianakis gives a tremendous, nuanced performance as the quixotic clown. Louis C.K. also had a hand in the creation of Baskets, and his influence shows in the surreal visuals and understated jokes.
ABC's Black-ish is one of many shows to have sprung up during the latest sitcom renaissance, which seems to emphasize distinct points of view not often seen on TV. This particular sitcom follows the Johnsons, an upper-middle-class family in America. Parents Dre (Anthony Anderson) and Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross) try to raise their children, whom they worry may be growing up in a vastly different milieu than they did. The show takes a critical look at issues of race and identity in contemporary America, balancing heavy social commentary with character-driven comedy.
Although it didn't attain immortality like its unending older brother The Simpsons (which now has the most scripted episodes of any prime-time series), Matt Groening's other cartoon, Futurama, established an identity of its own as a funny, often poignant vision of the future. The show follows Philip J. Fry (Billy West), a delivery boy who stumbles into a cryogenic pod and wakes up a thousand years in the future. He ends up working for an interplanetary delivery company, working with a variety of colorful characters, including steely cyclops Leela (Katey Sagal) and hard-drinking, sociopathic robot Bender (John DiMaggio). Futurama is an inventive comedy, with every episode going in some wild directions, and it has an incredible cast of oddballs to bounce off each other.
The Bold Type follows three friends — Jane (Katie Stevens), Kat (Aisha Dee), and Sutton (Meghann Farly) — a trio of young women living in New York City who work for the fictional women's lifestyle magazine Scarlet. As the three rise through the ranks of a media institution, they work through the challenges of modern journalism and live life to the fullest in the city that never sleeps. The Bold Type presents a vision of NYC and the media world that is probably a little too glossy — journalists in New York are more likely to live in closets than fashionable apartments — but its well-realized characters and hip style make for an enjoyable watch.
Based on a novel by Douglas Adams, Max Landis' sci-fi comedy series Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is a wacky tale of oddball characters navigating a chaotic world. The show begins with Todd Brotzman (Elijah Wood), a bellboy at a hotel, walking in on the scene of a murder in a penthouse suite. Todd graduates from a witness to a key figure in the case when he encounters Dirk Gently (Samuel Barnett), a man claiming to be a "holistic detective." Dirk's philosophy is that everything in the universe is interconnected, and that he can solve cases by simply following wherever fate leads him. Dirk recruits a reluctant Todd to help in his investigation, and the two set off on a bizarre journey. Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is a weird show, and its menagerie of strange characters and plot developments can feel a bit overwhelming at times, it's a funny, topsy-turvy detective story.
The second adaptation of the popular manga, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood hews much more closely to the original story. The show, set in the fantasy setting of Amestris, follows the brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, sons of a famed alchemist. After their father disappears and their mother dies, the boys take up the mystical art of alchemy, but a failed attempt at a forbidden ritual comes at a price: Edward loses an arm and a leg, while Alphonse loses his whole body, his soul trapped in a suit of armor. The boys seek work as military alchemists, hoping to use the government's resources to research the legendary Philosopher's Stone and find a way to restore their bodies. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood stands out in the vast field of anime thanks to its distinct setting, complex characters, and inventive action sequences.
Though it originally aired on Cartoon Network, Genndy Tartakovsky's Samurai Jack is not merely kid's fare. The show follows an unnamed samurai prince (Phil LaMarr), who attempts to liberate his kingdom from the reign of the demon lord Aku (Mako Iwamatsu). Although the samurai overpowers Aku, the demon tears open a portal through time, flinging him into the distant future, where Aku rules the world and beyond. In the future, the samurai — dubbed "Jack" by some locals — must wander, seeking a way to return to the past and vanquish Aku. Jack's quest takes him to many strange places, and the show frequently plays with form and genre. One episode, a riff on film noir, follows a robotic P.I. trying to track Jack. The show's gorgeous visuals and understated storytelling make it one of the greatest animated series ever made.
History (the network) melds historic accuracy with epic action in Vikings, a dramatized recounting of a prolific figure in Scandinavian lore, Ragnar Lodbrok. Vikings follows the exploits of the cunning Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) as he becomes the most powerful ruler of Europe's Viking Age, or at least, the one the history books and Nordic sagas remember him as. The show has received much acclaim during its run thus far — and without the gratuitous nudity common to most cable epics — earning it numerous Emmy nominations for both effects and design.
Gravity Falls could be summed up as "The X-Files for kids," but that might be selling it a bit short. The show follows twins Dipper (Jason Ritter) and Mabel Pines (Kristen Schaal), two kids spending summer break living with their great uncle — or "Grunkle" — Stan (Alex Hirsch) in the small town of Gravity Falls, nestled in the woods of Eastern Oregon. For most kids, summer in a town in the middle of nowhere would seem like a dreadful exile from fun, but Gravity Falls is no ordinary town; it's home to paranormal phenomena, conspiracies, and monsters, among other things. Some episodes have self-contained stories, while others feed into the larger, surprisingly dense mythology of the town. Gravity Falls is a weird and witty adventure story, built around a cast of charming characters.
Before he was the mastermind behind Marvel's cinematic universe, Joss Whedon was known for creating memorable television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly. While the latter only lasted for one season before it was ultimately canceled and later revived with the film Serenity, it has garnered a rabid cult following. The sci-fi series is set just after an interplanetary civil war between the populated inner system planets and the outer planets, where life resembles the American West. The series is well known for its cast of likable characters, including Nathan Fillion's Mal Reynold, who captains the titular ship, and is arguably the coolest space criminal since Han Solo.
Anime is often labeled as a niche genre, but like with all forms of media, there are breakout examples that transcend the genre, crossing over in appeal. Cowboy Bebop is a prime example. Set in the early era of humanity's colonization of the Solar System, a ragtag group of bounty hunters led by Spike Spiegel (Steven Blum) make ends meet by taking in wanted criminals, while simultaneously trying to avoid the law and powerful criminal organizations. This space-western has been lauded as one of the best anime series ever made, with a memorable cast and compelling story, and featuring one of the most iconic final scenes ever.
Based on the acclaimed comic series by Garth Ennis, Preacher follows the story of Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), a former criminal working as a preacher in Texas. His faith shaky, Jesse's life is changed when an otherworldly entity possesses him, granting him supernatural powers. Soon, Jesse teams up with his ex-girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga) and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun), as he tries to master his new powers and deal with a host of enemies, including a powerful and corrupt businessman, Odin Quincannon (Jackie Earle Haley). The show benefits from excellent direction, thanks to showrunner Sam Catlin (who previously worked on Breaking Bad). Bloody, violent, and set against the sun-parched backdrop of Texas, Preacher evokes classic Westerns, but the supernatural elements and bizarre characters will appeal to viewers of modern genre shows like Game of Thrones.
For those bored with the derivative artwork and trite action of many anime, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a ludicrous shot in the arm. The long-running franchise, which takes place over the course of decades, follows various members of the "Joestar" family, adventurers who use their magic powers to battle a variety of outlandish foes, including the family's nigh immortal nemesis, the vampire Dio Brando. JBA's garish character designs and the inventive fight scenes make it a timeless story, one that even someone with a cautious interest in anime could enjoy.
Few franchises have grown such a massive fanbase as the Star Trek franchise. The Original Series features William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as the iconic Captain Kirk and officer Spock, respectively. Though dated — the show aired from 1966 to '69 — it's an appreciated blast from the past and one which created the foundation for so many TV spinoffs and movies. That, and few would argue that Captain Kirk and Spock are among television's all-time best duos.
Perhaps the most popular of the Star Trek TV shows, The Next Generation ran for an impressive seven seasons from 1987 to 1994. Patrick Stewart takes the lead as Captain Jean-Luc Picard who guides the starship Enterprise across the galaxy in search of new life and civilizations. It built off the cult success of The Original Series and solidified the Star Trek franchise as one of the best science fiction universes across TV or film. Despite taking place within the boundaries of space — where no man had gone before —TNG drew allegories to our earthbound cultural issues that took place during its televised run.
Rod Serling's science fiction/fantasy series The Twilight Zone remains one of the best-written shows ever to air on American television. The original series aired for five seasons from 1959 to 1964 with Serling serving as not just head writer but also host and narrator. Each episode's new story sees the main character encounter paranormal or unusual events which lead to an eventual moral. Though it spawned two spinoff series, the original Twilight Zone is the best of the bunch.
Beginning in the last days of the War of 1812, Taboo follows James Delaney (Tom Hardy), a man who returns to England, after 18 years abroad, to attend his father's funeral. The only thing left of his father's estate is a piece of land in North America, and with the war on the continent winding down, the land is about to be much more valuable. Delaney discovers that the powerful East India Company has its eyes on the land, and that his father was poisoned, setting up a dangerous game of espionage. Taboo is a unique blend of different genres, combining elements of crime dramas and Westerns in a 19th-century London setting, and the show is built around a performance from the always-great Tom Hardy.
Many critics have declared This Is Us as a heartwarming antidote to the cynical dramas that once reigned over the television landscape, and while it lacks the exquisite craftsmanship of a Mad Men or Breaking Bad, it's not hard to see why people have fallen in love with it. The show follows a family of five through their good times and tribulations over decades, jumping back and forth between the past and present. The story begins in the '70s with Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) preparing to become parents, while in the present, their children — Kevin (Justin Hartley), Kate (Chrissy Metz), and adopted son Randall (Sterling K. Brown) — struggle with the peaks and valleys of adulthood. The show's frequent leaps back and forth in time explore the tangled nature of the Pearson family, and although their history is pocked with tragedy, they're always there for each other.
Noah Hawley, creator of FX's Fargo, tries his hand at telling a superhero story with Legion, a visually dynamic series that isn't your typical, man-in-a-cape origin story. The show follows David Haller (Dan Stevens), a man who, having heard voices in his head since a young age, starts the series in a psychiatric hospital. His official diagnosis is schizophrenia, but after meeting another patient, Syd Barrett (Rachel Keller), who has the ability to switch bodies with anyone she touches, he discovers that the voices in his head are a sign of his own latent powers. Fitting for a show about a man who may or may not be insane, Legion is a hallucinogenic show, with psychedelic visuals and format-breaking sequences that keep David — and the viewer — confused as to what is real.
Although drama and comedy are often viewed separately in pop culture, they make for a splendid pairing — just ask Shakespeare! Or, if you want a more contemporary example, look to You're the Worst, a show that weds character-based drama and absurd humor. It focuses on Jimmy (Chris Geere) and Gretchen (Aya Cash), who start a casual relationship after meeting at a wedding. Both of them are dealing with problems personal and professional: Jimmy is a narcissistic writer struggling to get published, Gretchen is a clinically depressed PR agent representing a difficult rapper. Together, they try to enjoy life and figure out their careers, and You're the Worst does not shy away from the dark side of either, exploring the toll of frequent partying and the conflicts inherent in every relationship. At times witty, at times woeful, You're the Worst is one of the most intelligent and human shows on television right now.
Based on the Cohen brothers' beloved film of the same name, Fargo returns to the icy plains of Minnesota, a space where nefarious plots are conceived and enacted by otherwise seemingly normal folks. The TV adaptation features an all-star cast that includes Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman, not to mention Colin Hanks and Allison Tolman, and stays true to same black comedy and deadly mishaps that made the original film so popular.
The biker gang, the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original (aka SAMCRO), make ends meet by trafficking guns and subverting the law at every turn. However, when the gang's young Vice President Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) discovers the diary of his deceased father, he begins to question SAMCRO's business decisions. This puts Jax at odds with his stepfather Clay Morrow (Ron Pearlman), who presides as the club's president. The series tells the story of Jax's efforts to keep the club together while balancing his complicated family life.
In a not-too-distant future, after an environmental disaster causes widespread infertility, an extremist cult in the United States stages a coup, establishing the totalitarian state of Gilead. In this new society, women are relegated to subservient roles, and due to the low birth rate, a class of women called "handmaids" are conscripted to bear children for the leaders of Gilead. The protagonist of The Handmaid's Tale, Offred (Elisabeth Moss), is one such woman, forced to have ritualized sex with Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) to provide him and his wife a child. Living without any rights or power, Offred tries to survive each day, hoping to one day be free. The Handmaid's Tale is a masterful adaptation of Margaret Atwood's grim novel of the same name, with excellent performances and gorgeous, oft-disturbing scene composition.
This new historical drama follows Margaret Wells (Samantha Morton), a madam running a brothel in 18th-century London. Eager to climb the social ladder — and dodge the authorities — Margaret moves into the territory of her former boss, high-class madam Lydia Quigley (Lesley Manville), sparking a war between the two. Caught up in Margaret's schemes are her two daughters, Charlotte (Jessica Brown Findlay) and Lucy (Eloise Smyth), whom she has pushed into prostitution. Despite the lurid subject matter, Harlots is never merely titillating; this is a show with a keen eye for the power dynamics at work in its setting, and how hierarchy turns even sex into a cold transaction. A complicated drama with intriguing characters, Harlots is a great show for people who like their historical dramas on the seedier side.
Stephen King is one of modern America's most prolific authors, with nearly 60 novels and 200 short stories, and that allows the creators of Castle Rock, a show that draws inspiration from a variety of King's works, to create an eerie melange of the author's stories. Castle Rock follows Henry Deaver (Andr Holland), a defense attorney and a pariah in his hometown of Castle Rock, who nevertheless returns after guards at Shawshank Penitentiary find a nameless man (Bill Skarsgrd) locked in an abandoned cell block. As Henry delves into the mystery behind this stranger known only as "The Kid," he wades into a mystery that stretches back years. Castle Rock is loaded with Easter eggs for ardent King fans to grin at, but even those who haven't read the author's complete bibliography can enjoy the show, as it tells a creepy story that can stand on its own merits.
Following a car accident, Secret Service agent Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon) comes to the small town of Wayward Pines. He's there looking for two missing agents, and he finds one dead, the other having apparently settled down in town. As if the circumstances weren't strange enough, Burke is unable to leave the town, which is surrounded by a massive gate and run by the despotic Sheriff Pope (Terrence Howard). Burke must investigate the mysteries of Wayward Pines and find a way to escape. With its rustic setting and odd cast of characters, the show has drawn comparisons to David Lynch's Twin Peaks. It is an apt comparison, as Wayward Pines concocts a compelling and creepy mystery over the course of 10 episodes.
Chris Carter's science fiction drama, The X-Files, operated under one simple premise: The truth is out there. FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigate unsolved mysteries called X-Files. These X-Files deal with paranormal activity, aliens, UFO sightings, and various phenomena. Mulder believes in the existence of alien life while Scully offers her own scientific explanations for the mysterious happenings.
In the quiet titular town of Twin Peaks, the sudden and tragic murder of high-school student Laura Palmer set off a chain of events that turns the town on its head. FBI agent Dale Cooper (Kyle McLaughlin) teams up with local sheriff Harry Truman (Michael Ontkean) to solve the murder, only to uncover a complicated mess of grisly truths that border on the supernatural. Twin Peaks is among director David Lynch's most iconic works, yet the show only lasted two brief seasons. Despite this, it produced some timeless episodes. Those who have finished the original two seasons will be delighted to know that the show has returned for its first new episodes after 25 years; there's no better time to revisit this short-lived classic.
American Horror Story is an anthology series where each season centers on its own unique story, with a core cast whose role change from season to season. Each season provides scares and frightening psychological storylines, whether they take place within a troubled family home, amid a coven of witches, or inside a hotel of circus freaks. American Horror Story is a unique drama, one that capitalizes on the work of series creator Ryan Murphy.
Outwit. Outplay. Outlast. Survivor's three main tenets have helped the show "survive" for an admirable 33 seasons, and the competition shows no signs of slowing down. Whether you're a fan of the rugged early seasons, or you prefer "Fans vs. Favorites," you can get your fill on Hulu. And if you weren't already aware, the show follows two teams of contestants, both of which must survive for 40 days in a remote location while their teammates and opponents scheme to vote them "off the island." Tiki torches also come standard.
Catfish, the favorite show of Manti Te'o's girlfriend, follows hosts Nev Schulman and Max Joseph as they work to unravel the mysteries behind online-only relationships. Each episode details their investigation into a particular relationship and their ongoing effort to figure out if it's actually real, or if one of the participants is merely being "catfished." It's an interesting — and questionably ethical — exploration into internet politics and people's personal lives.
In Top Chef, competitors are pitted against one another in a variety of themed challenges in attempts to find out who can create the better meal. Quickfire challenges force contestants to test their skills and finish a meal before the allotted time runs out, while Elimination challenges generally entail more detailed and difficult culinary undertakings. After 14 seasons, we only have one question: where can we sign up to judge?
"Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?" Of course you can. It's the smell of dramatic betrayal. Even though WWE matches might not be entirely legitimate, the company's two flagship brands — Raw and SmackDown — have captivated live audiences and TV viewers for decades, with acrobatic finishing moves and screeching announcers at whom you can't help but laugh. You can't be blamed for thinking it's ridiculous, but there are few places on television as fun as the ring.

The executive director of Teach for America Greater New Orleans said she will seek a seat on Louisiana's top school board.
Kira Orange Jones, 32, said she plans to run for the District 2 slot on the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, called BESE.
The post is now held by Louella Givens, of New Orleans, who is expected to seek a second term.
The primary is Oct. 22.
BESE is an 11-member panel that sets policies for an estimated 668,000 public school students statewide. Eight of its members are elected and three are appointed by the governor.
"Growing up, I was fortunate to have some outstanding teachers that inspired me to persist in school and to learn," Orange Jones said in a prepared statement.
"As a teacher, I also saw firsthand what my own fourth-graders (in Baton Rouge) were capable of when held to high expectations," she said.
"I am now focused on helping every child in Louisiana have the opportunity for an excellent education," Orange Jones said.
"They deserve nothing less."
Teach for America recruits top-flight college graduates, puts them through an intense training process and then sends them to troubled public schools.
Orange Jones said her job means she supervised over 1,000 teachers and a $10 million annual budget.
Orange Jones received an undergraduate degree in political theory from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Ct., and a master's degree in education from Harvard.
The BESE district covers parts of Orleans, Jefferson, St. Charles, St. John, St. James and Assumption parishes.

Fort McMurray, Alberta, Friday, June 24, 2016
I would like to begin by acknowledging that we are on Treaty 8 territory.
Canadians have a long history of helping each other in times of need.
As I often point out, it's a history that began with the generosity that indigenous peoples showed to newcomers who were trying to survive their first winters in this cold country.
And it's a history that continues into the present day, as we saw with the generosity the members of this community showed to those who were fleeing the wildfires.
Here in Fort McMurray First Nation, you welcomed evacuees from the city, before being forced to evacuate yourselves.
This makes your response even more admirable. Even as your own community was being threatened, you offered food, shelter and comfort to those affected.
What happened here in Fort McMurray First Nation was very special, and I know you will continue to be involved in the effort to rebuild.
You share more than a name with Fort McMurray.
You are neighbours and partners who are stronger working together, and your response to this disaster is an illustration of that.
All of Canada, and indeed people around the world, watched as the devastating wildfires spread.
We took comfort in the stories of people pulling together and helping each other, and your story inspired us all.
Thank you for your compassion, your generosity and your bravery.
And thank you for inspiring all Canadians by your example.

These are my space polishes:
Lumene Natural Code Cosmic Girl, Icing Blackout, Evil Shades Rainbow in the Dark.
China Glaze Cosmic, Funky Fingers Moonwalk, NYX Girls Frizz Spots.
Please click to enlarge the following pictures!
1. Lumene Cosmic Girl
2. Icing Blackout
3. Evil Shades Rainbow in the Dark
4. China Glaze Cosmic
5. Funky Fingers Moonwalk
6. NYX Girls Frizz Spots
And from another angle.
As you can see, the China Glaze is really gritty, which is something that bothers me. The Funky Fingers isn't much better. And obviously, the NYX Girls is playing in its own division, though I still think of it as space in a bottle. Just imagine combining it with any of the other ones for majestic space results!
I have to say though, due to the smoothness, the Icing and Evil Shades polishes are my favourites out of this bunch. No extra work with a trillion coats of topcoat, and they're both subtle in their expression, just hinting the glitz, just sparkling up in special moments.
I wore Blackout for an entire three day period this spring, when I was away for a party conference, and I managed to make it wear pretty well until I did a touch up the last night... I highly enjoyed it though, but unfortunately it never made it onto the blog since I was in no time or position to take other than blurry iPhone pictures. These polishes are basic enough to wear for more than a night without being tiresome, yet sparkly enough to avoid boredom. Pure love.
And no, I do not have Eyeko's Cosmic polish. Sadly!
Swedish word of the night:
rymd -noun space
Damn it scares me, but also: damn it's intriguing!

In June 2015, 4 students of the Bulgarian School of Seattle participated in the ALTA Written Assessment for Bulgarian language approved by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction in the State of Washington and administered by the Bulgarian School of Seattle licensed examiner. All students achieved very high scores and as a result were allowed to participated in the ALTA Speaking and Listening Assessment. The result of taking the later assessment with passing score will meet the requirements for issuing a credit by the State of Washington OSPI for successful completion of foreign language training at a High School level.
Students who successfully passed the ALTA Written Assessments in 2015 with overall score Advanced (Possible Credits – 3 & 4) are:
Prodan Boyadzhiev, 9th grade – Sumner School District
Rosica Hristova, 9th grade – Lake Washington School District
Boryana Koseva, 7th grade – Edmond's School District
Nikola Kolev, 7th grade –Bellevue School District
The Bulgarian School of Seattle is devoted to the mission and works very hard to preserve the Bulgarian language in the State of Washington. As a progressive and growing organization reaching multiple families, the School embraces the opportunity to positively influence the life of the Bulgarian community in the Seattle area and focus on the youth – our future.

But he's WAY better at the logistics side, so we make a good team. He's gotten another leather scrapbook commission to work on, so he'll be busy evenings and weekends on that, and on the last few belt buckles, day planners, and zodiac notebook covers.

Hair dryer is one of the important items in the hair care bag of both men and women. By using a hair dryer a lot of styles can be made. Today, a lot of brands are selling hair dryers. You can get a large variety with loads of options.
This makes it easy for people today to choose the one according to their requirements. Other than the brand name the quality of the dryer should also be considered. My article will guide you to choose the best hair dryer which will fulfill your requirements.
Buy the dryer with a negative ion technology. This break downs the water droplets into micro-droplets which are easily absorbed in the hair shaft. They hydrate the hair and make them smooth, shiny and very healthy. Its advisable to go for the one which generated a lot of negative ions.
The size of the motor should also be considered. The one with more watts will dry your hair quicker. Buy the one with at least 100 watts. Professional hair dryers have a feature of 1800+ watts.
It takes some time to dry your hair. Throughout the blowing time you have to hold the dryer in your hand. Holding a heavy dryer will be very tiring for your arm. Therefore, buy the one which is light weight and easy to hold.
Moreover, buy the dryer which have additional attachments with it. This will give you several options of how to style your hair. You can get straight as well as curly hair with different nozzles available which will help you achieve you desired hair style with less effort in a short period of time.
It is good to buy the hair dryer which give options of heat setting. There are three option warm, hot or cool heat. The one with full functions will help you give your desired hair style. Professionals start hair drying with a high heat and speed, later on reducing the speed and finishing with a cool blast of heat. This is the best way to make your hair style look the best and perfect.
Getting sexy, sleek fashionable straight hair is possible to do yourself if you have the right tools and take the time to learn how to blow dry hair straight properly. Beauty and fashion experts agree that the keys to achieving a beautiful look are the right products for your hair type, high-quality brushes, a blow dryer with multiple heat settings including cold, and the willingness to take the time to do it right.
The first step is to wash your hair and apply a conditioning rinse. Towel dry your hair and be sure it's not dripping, and apply a detangler if necessary.
Next, apply a product that provides heat protection all the way through, especially to the ends, followed by a small amount (about the size of a quarter) of a straightening balm. Massage it evenly into your hair by first rubbing it between your palms and then onto the hair using your palms and fingertips.
How to blow dry hair straight depends on the look you want, whether it's stick straight or with more volume and texture. For stick straight hair use a flat-headed paddle brush, but for more volume and texture, use a round brush. Use a larger brush for longer hair.
If your hair is apt to become frizzy or curly, do not use your fingers to comb through fragile wet hair. A high-quality brush, particularly one with boar bristles, will produce the smoothest, sleekest look. Dividing your hair into sections from front to back and top to bottom to work with separately is how to blow dry hair straight and evenly.
With the blow dryer set on low heat, take a small amount of hair, place the brush at the roots and pull it toward the ends in straight motion with the dryer 6 inches above it. Continue with the next section.
When the brush reaches the end of the hair, angle it to give it the desired look, whether it's flipped up or tucked under. A gorgeous look is simple when you know how to blow dry hair straight. Always keep the brush under the hair and the dryer above it, blowing down from root to tip.
Keep the dryer moving to avoid over-drying and uneven texture. Do not apply heat to already dry hair but use the cold setting if needed. The entire process is likely to take 30-40 minutes, so be patient. Doing it too fast will cause hair to become frizzy.
If you want to more easily achieve that straight hair look while keeping it healthy and shiny, the Farouk CHI Hair Dryer is the perfect choice. This blow dryer produces ionic positive energy or in other words, it uses a moist heat so that you can use less conditioner (which typically flattens and dulls hair) to create the styles you want.

The first video was a man being all-manly filming a workout video with one of those resistance bands with handles. He lost his grip on one of the handles and it snapped back and hit him in the groin. (Like every other video where someone gets it in the groin or in the head. I laugh harder when they get hit in the head. Why is that?)
The second was a mother telling her little boy to kiss a cow. The cow had his head in a water bucket. The cow then licked the kid right across the face. The kids mouth was open and everything. So gross!
The third was a very elderly woman over excited (laughing and clapping) about hearing news of a great-grandchild-to-be.
ME: (Really trying not to laugh but not succeeding and getting a look-of-death from Joe)
The elderly woman won... uggghhh
ME: (Laughing so hard I had to run out of the room to go to the bathroom! I think I peed my pants a little!)
I hate to admit it, but he is right. It wasn't funny at all... the old lady video that is... Thank the goddess the show is over -- I would hate for his blood pressure to go any higher!
Best. TV. Night. Ever!

The interpretation of metagenomic count data originating from the current generation of DNA sequencing platforms requires special attention. In particular, the per-sample library sizes often vary by orders of magnitude from the same sequencing run, and the counts are overdispersed relative to a simple Poisson model. These challenges can be addressed using an appropriate mixture model that simultaneously accounts for library size differences and biological variability. This approach is already well-characterized and implemented for RNA-Seq data in R packages such as edgeR and DESeq. We use statistical theory, extensive simulations, and empirical data to show that variance stabilizing normalization using a mixture model like the negative binomial is appropriate for microbiome count data. In simulations detecting differential abundance, normalization procedures based on a Gamma-Poisson mixture model provided systematic improvement in performance over crude proportions or rarefied counts -- both of which led to a high rate of false positives. In simulations evaluating clustering accuracy, we found that the rarefying procedure discarded samples that were nevertheless accurately clustered by alternative methods, and that the choice of minimum library size threshold was critical in some settings, but with an optimum that is unknown in practice. Techniques that use variance stabilizing transformations by modeling microbiome count data with a mixture distribution, such as those implemented in edgeR and DESeq, substantially improved upon techniques that attempt t o normalize by rarefying or crude proportions. Based on these results and well-established statistical theory, we advocate that investigators avoid rarefying altogether. We have provided microbiome-specific extensions to these tools in the R package, phyloseq.

Finding your true self, or your authentic self, is the most important thing that you can do for authentic living, for your self-development, and for you to achieve real happiness, inner success, and wellbeing. Finding your true self is your biggest life solution. It is the master key that will unlock your full potential and purpose in all areas of your life, and guide the setting of your true life goals. For this reason, I am making sure that I write this post for you before I post on any further topics. I want you to get this key so that you will get how it unlocks everything else I write about.
What is the true self?
What is the true self? It is the real you—your true nature and identity that is found at the deepest core of your being. It is more fundamental to who you are than your roles or the identities that you create, adopt, or have assigned to you by other people. It is the you that exists behind all of these, and even behind the psychological construct of your personality or ego.
Your true self is the source of your greatest passion, creative power, talents, wisdom, and love, and is experienced when you are most yourself. It can be found in the space between your thoughts. So busy and distracted are our minds with thoughts—some 50,000 per day—that we are often unconscious of our true self, and normally may only glimpse it at the time of a major life crisis, when we are facing our own mortality, or when we have a peak experience in which life is experienced with sudden ego-transcending intensity.
Finding your true self, as your ultimate identity, enables you to develop and direct your personality (your interface with the world) so that you can be more yourself and live your full potential and true life purpose. By connecting you with your most fundamental state of being, which transcends the narrow identity of your ego-self, your true self also enables you to experience being more at one with life itself, and thus being more connected with others and the planet. Finding your true self is therefore essential for any meaningful self-development, as well as for authentic living in general.
4 ways of finding your true self
- Meditation. Still your mind and place your attention on the space between your thoughts, becoming aware of the centre of your awareness that is beyond thought or feeling. This is where your true self can be experienced.
- Mindfulness. Be mindful or conscious of your daily living experience, without being distracted by thoughts and emotions that can take you into a daydream or into unproductive states of mind. Your true self is then more able to emerge so that you can respond authentically to your daily experience.
- Visualisation. Still your mind and visualise yourself walking along a path to the centre of your mind, or climbing to the peak of a mountain that represents your highest perspective. Visualise your true self waiting there for you, personified as a wise teacher who is ready to guide you.
- Journal writing. After stilling your mind, write down, on a piece of paper or in a journal, words or sentences that might express the qualities of your true self. Avoid writing down the qualities that other people want you to have, or the qualities you have adopted through inauthentic living. What you have written down will bring you closer to finding your true self.
Staying present to your true self
Due to the demands of others, the stress of life events, or your own reactivity to unprocessed emotional triggers, you may not stay present in your true self, and as a result may drift back into your reactive ego. If this is the case, practise mindfulness states as described above, and consider if your boundaries need strengthening in a healthy way so that other people do not overwhelm you with their demands and behaviour. As you continue to practise connecting with your true self, you will gradually get better at staying present in it. There are techniques to release the negative patterns that can take you out of your true self, but these will be addressed in a future post. Finding your true self is key to finding your true life purpose.

Alcohol, Marijuana, and the College Student
Q: I'm a college student that has never smoked and has never been drunk. I feel strongly against getting drunk so I always stop drinking when I feel myself begin to drift off a little bit.
I have two questions. First, is it wrong to drink and not get drunk while at a party? The reason why I drink is not to escape problems or because I need alcohol to have fun. I do it occasionally because I do enjoy the socializing and games that are associated with it; is that wrong?
Second, is it wrong to smoke marijuana if the intent is not to escape troubles? If alcohol is acceptable to consume as long as the intent isn't misuse, why wouldn't marijuana be the same since it's not a hallucinogenic substance? I've had friends tell me weed helps them focus and relax, and that doesn't seem like an "evil" substance to me.
A: You'll not find many self-professed Lutherans who promote alcoholic abstinence. Most of us take the attitude that moderate use of a legal substance is not wrong. We read in Scripture that God used wine not only sacramentally (as the means of giving His Son's blood for us to drink) but also celebratorily, as in the Passover celebration and at the wedding in Cana.
Note that the first two of these examples involve religious celebration while the final is essentially secular. Yet even at this party, the Lord Himself provides wine ... good wine ... lots of good wine! He realized that most of the guests would drink enough to elevate their already high spirits and some might even go too far, yet He gave it as His gift.
Of course, He didn't force it on anyone who didn't want to drink and He certainly didn't encourage anyone drinking to do so to oblivion. He also didn't have to worry that one of the guests would leave the party bombed and drive his car into a minivan full of children, nor was he providing alcohol contrary to the law of the land.
Now when you as about drinking as "a college student," I realize that traditional students don't normally reach the legal age for alcohol consumption until sometime during their junior years. Are you asking about drinking as a minor, contrary to state law (and maybe campus rules, as well)? If so, I cannot approve — nor does Scripture. For even if it's not "fair" or if younger people can drink in other countries, your "governing authorities" to whom God requires you to "be subject (Romans 13:1)" say otherwise.
Current marijuana laws make the answer even more simple, in response to your second question: "Yes, it's wrong. Period." Even if pot's benefits completely overshadowed its liabilities (and the debate is open on this), those "governing authorities" have said, "Thou shalt not do weed, neither shalt thou grow it nor shalt thou distribute it." And the apostle, inspired by the Holy Spirit, says, "That's the breaks." Or something like that.
Of course, if marijuana were legal here, as it is in some countries, you'd need to do a lot more research. For one thing, does weed really help you "focus and relax"? Relax? Quite likely — unless you're smoking it illegally. Then, it might make you paranoid about getting busted. Focus? Um, yeah, but likely more on water dripping from a faucet, fish swimming in an aquarium, or a repetitious drum riff on the stereo than on your calculus homework.
Also, contrary to what you've been told, marijuana is classified as an hallucinogen — albeit mild compared to substances such as LSD. However, even the weed available when I was in college could actively deceive your perceptions and most of what's sold and used now has much higher THC levels.
See previous articles, including Christian Use of Drugs and Alcohol, Two Wines? Too Much!, and Mushrooms: Magic or Menace? as you continue to think about what's allowed and what's truly profitable for you. You can also get a good look a the Scripture vs. moralism arguments in Father Hollywood's Alcohol, Christianity, and Truth.
I hope this helps you determine what is good and right for you — both now, as a student, and later, as you continue living a responsible Christian life as an adult. God bless you.

text: My wife and I began feeding a stray female feral cat several months ago. Soon another cat showed up that appeared to be its daughter. The mom disappeared and came back with 4 week old kittens a month ago. The daughter disappeared and came back with one 3 week old kitten 2 weeks ago. So we now have two strays, 3 eight week old kittens, and a 5 week old kitten in addition to our 2 house cats (female-14 and male-12). We kept them out on our patio while the mom's would come and go. Yesterday one mom tore a hole in the screen and began to leave with the kittens. We retreived all of them and put them in our bathroom. The moms now come to the patio and meow all the time calling the kittens. They also are much more jumpy around us then before. The kittens are still very nervous and not completely comfortable with humans. We have found homes for 2 and are working on the others. My question is are we doing the right thing by separating them and does anyone have advice on getting the kittens more accustomed to people? BTW, we plan on spaying both moms when they get over being so mad at us.

Foreseen obsolescence of icebergs.
The fragility of the Antarctic environment meets photography as an archive medium subject to the corruption of its datas, until its loss.
The majesty of the landscape gives this extreme environment an illusion of eternity, while it is one of the most vulnerable on the planet, already affected by climate change.
Digital photography gives the same illusion of eternity. Because the possibility of infinite copy, he is extremely fragile, depending both on its support, and its data decoding process.
This series questions and translates parallels between the fragility of the digital image, of our ecosystem, the landscape and its representation.

Shaco Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey,guys this is my first build so be nice to me.
Ok, here are some pros and cons for Shaco,the Demon Jester.
Great escape artist
Pretty fair damage to the back
Hallucinate confuses his enemy(s)
CC brings Shaco down
Wards and Oracles takes away the fun
Waste your deiceive, no escape if focused
Ok,these are the spells you shuold have:
Exhaust-Great spell if your hunting down someone with deicive, with improved exhaust your stab to the back will do more damage.
Ignite-To finish off your ememy if they get away.
Teleport -Useful spell if you want to telport to your creeps/towers,note* jack in the box can be teleported to.
Flash -Want to have 2 flashes? well here it is a garrenteed escape
Spells u shuold not have though out the whole entire game:
Revive -Plz dont get ever...
Smite -This spell you don't really need, if you want golem stack jack in the boxes at the start.
Early Game:
Buy your regrowth pendent and 1 hp pot and lane with your partner.If your partner is a ranged they will help you alot.By lvl 4 you shuold rank 3 shivs start h***ing them, if they play aggessive hug the tower if, they coem close enough slow them with shiv and then back off, make sure to hit them at the back for more damage.
Mid Game:
From this time of the game people will start getting off thier lanes and start killing on unspecting enemies,organizing ganks,pushing lanes,getting buffs, dragon.For Shaco its just to easy find a lane with no one there and lots of creeps bunching up? push it to the max with your clone, the people come? np for shaco deceive and gtfo.
Late Game:
when you reach this point of the game,start building your Infinity edge/black cleaver.
You may have to be with your teams start pushing lanes together getting baron to finish them off.After u finish your infinity edge you should get your banshee veil. For those hard CC this will give you the chance to escape.Oh and also buy wards its very useful in late game.
Pro tip
1.Make sure you make your clone go first to confuse your opponent.
2.While in deceive press your ulti in the process.
3.Put your jack in the box near dragon or baron if that doesn't work put some wards.
4.Deceive the way your opponent wouldnt expect u to go. eg: if you think your enemy is chasing you go though the walls of the map.
Last patch for Shaco view buffs/nerfes
Thanks for looking at my guide!
Also if you vote up or voted down plz tell why.^ - ^

The Google Shopping certification was launched within the Google Partners platform just over a month ago, but it is only available within the USA at present. However, there is a massive interest in this new exam amongst PPCers across the internet, with many advertisers outside the USA requesting that this new exam be made available to advertisers across other countries to take ASAP.
Whilst the exam continues to be unavailable across other countries at the moment, there are many willing candidates who want to be prepared for the day when it becomes available within the Partners Portal. With that in mind, I wanted to share some information, learning topics and tips that should be given attention when studying to pass this new certification.
1. The Specifics
The Shopping exam features best answer questions which must be completed within 90 minutes. It has a pass mark of 80%. Once passed, the certification remains valid for 1 year. A candidate cannot attempt the Google Shopping exam until they have first passed the Advertising Fundamentals exam.
2. Question Style
Whilst you may be familiar with seeing some True/False style questions within the other AdWords exams, there are not any of this question type featured in the Google Shopping exam. All of the 63 questions are multiple choice single best answer questions. Make sure that you read each question and it's answer options thoroughly before choosing your answer, as once you have clicked the 'next' button, you cannot go back and change your previous answers.
3. Question Content
When studying to take the Google Shopping exam, it's important to understand the role of both Google Merchant Center and AdWords. For this reason, I have created a list of areas that you should pay specific attention to for best results under the two separate headings.
Merchant Center
There are restrictions pertaining to what can be sold on Google Shopping. You should be aware of the types of products cannot be advertised. You will also need to be familiar with Merchant Center settings including the requirement of adding a store name, and a technical contact email address that will be used to contact you should any issues arise with your data feed, such as policy violations.
The exam specifically asks about Url claiming and verification within Merchant center, so you will need to understand how and why this should be done. You should also be aware of the purpose of a Multi-client account too, and the process of linking your Merchant Center account with your AdWords account.
Make sure that you know about the specific file formats requirements that should be met when creating a data feed, and it is vital that you have a good understanding of product attributes as the exam is crammed with questions related to this. You should know all about the attributes that are required within a data feed for all items, as well as the attributes that are recommended for use too. There are a few questions about custom label attributes, so you will need to understand their role and how they can be used.
Unique product identifiers feature quite prominently in the exam, so you will need to understand appropriate use cases for this type of product attribute depending on the certain types of products that are being added to a data feed. You should also be able to demonstrate your appropriate understanding and use of the 'Identifier exists' attribute with a value of 'False' too, for products such as custom goods, antiques, vintage books etc.
The exam features plenty of policy related questions so it's important to be aware of all of the policy details, you will be tested on your understanding of scenarios that can cause feed disapproval, as well as what can cause Merchant Center suspensions.
Other topics include shipping settings, whether added at the global level within Google Merchant Center account, product level using shipping attributes in data feed, or both. You will need to understand which shipping settings can take priority for products too.
You should understand the specific requirements for, and the importance of maintaining an active data feed, and understand the difference between submitting a data feed using the 'standard' or 'test' mode.
Finally, you will be tested on appropriate action that should be taken should you wish to sell adult products, and best practices and rules pertaining to creating and submitting suitable product images.
Whilst I'm sure that you are already very familiar with AdWords, you will need to have knowledge of creating a Google Shopping campaign to be successful in the new exam. You will need to understand the specific actions can be completed within the AdWords interface, including advanced campaign settings such as campaign priority and appropriate use of inventory filters.
Shopping campaigns do not use the same components or follow the same structure as 'standard' or 'all features' campaigns on the Google Search Network, so you will need to have knowledge of the role of ad groups, product groups, and product group sub division. There are a few questions that ask about the purpose of the 'everything else in all products' product group too. There are a couple of questions testing understanding of promotional messaging for PLAs, including where it should be added and also editorial format policy. You will be expected to answer questions related to available bidding options, depending on whether conversion tracking is being used or not.
You will need to know about the Product Listing ad format and the device types on which the ad format can be seen. There are a few questions about reporting functions available within the dimensions tab and product groups tab, as well as benchmark and impression share data.
Finally, you will need to have an understanding of how bid simulator can be used to identify if a change in bids can optimize product group performance.
4. Shopping Exam: Our Top Tips
- Thoroughly read all of the learning material provided, including any information contained in additional reading links.
- Apply everything you learn to a Merchant center account, it's essential that you sign up for one and get familiar with its features and functions.
- Apply everything you learn to a Google Shopping campaign, explore the different settings, advanced settings and other tabs of your campaign.
- Watch the Google Shopping advanced certification refresher hangout from Google.
- Don't take the exam until you are ready.
Good luck!
