Somebody call PETA !
I caught glimpses of this show which feature a gay male couple and their dog , Liberace . First of all , they come across as the most stereotyped gay couple that I have seen and yet they are real . I couldn't watch them with their dog as they took this tiny lap dog ( I mean the dog weighed under 10 pounds and was not f...

Just Awful ! Mail Rosie a mussel to shut her big mouth !
Believe it or not , I watched this show in the beginning in 1996 and I was a fan of it then . Not anymore , I grew to lose respect for all of the co-hosts at one time or another . Never did I think that Meredith Viera would announce to the world that she is not wearing underwear . Debbie Matenopoulos was far better tha...

It's not for me ! I just hated it !
After only watching a few minutes of this adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet , I couldn't take much more of it . It was something that I could laugh at rather than take seriously . I tried after a few minutes more but it's hard to take Leonardo DiCaprio who I believe is a very talented actor and Clare...

I'm sorry but Rosie O'Donnell talking about her mother's death and Barbara Walters ( who has never really acted ) on the actors studio . I have suggestions as to who should be on the Actors Studio in the future . What about your former wife , Nina Foch ? What about the following ? Kim Novak ( retired and very much aliv...

I thought the Kardashians were bad !
Okay , the reality show premise is five housewives of New York City . Housewives do housework but they have maids and housekeepers to take care of that and nannies and Au pairs to look after their children . I know this is supposed to be the East Coast version of the Real Housewives of Orange County , California . Okay...

Why Brokeback Lost the Oscar ?
Do you really want to know why it didn't win the Oscar ? Well maybe because prior to the Academy Awards , we were bombarded with how great this film was . It was considered groundbreaking , controversial , etc . and it widely praised . Did it ever occur to anybody that it would turn off the Oscar Voters ? Of course it ...

If you want my opinion , this show is very negative stereotype of Bostonians especially the blue collar family of the O'Neils as typical Irish Catholic .

Not that bad !
This was not one of John Hughes ' greatest successes . Supposedly , the film critics trashed this film . But you know what , it's worth watching . Kelly LeBrock plays the model that Anthony Michael Hall's character and his friend create from a computer . They live in suburban Chicago of course which is one of John Hugh...

Be Careful What You Wish For !

The Baby Boom of Television

I love James Earl Jones and Cicely Tyson as a couple . They live in the ghetto or slums of Los Angeles , California in the 1970s . The rest of the cast includes the under-used Hilda Haynes and Louis Gosset Jr . The story of Johnny Williams as a poet and his ill wife played by Tyson is not so bad and their surroundings ...
