490,485 | 33,913 | 444,584 | 1 | 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... |
490,043 | 33,913 | 123,366 | 1 | 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... |
490,772 | 33,913 | 117,509 | 1 | 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... |
490,415 | 33,913 | 169,455 | 2 | Rosie O'Donnell , Barbara Walters , What has this show turned into ? | 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... |
490,180 | 33,913 | 1,191,056 | 2 | 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... |
490,230 | 33,913 | 388,795 | 2 | 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 ... |
489,825 | 33,913 | 257,295 | 2 | Orwell would have been shocked ! | I don't get Big Brother . I read George Orwell's novel 1984 where we are introduced to Big Brother , the watcher of all of us or at least in this case , these poor suckers who choose to live together under close watch by millions of poor Britons . This is the not the masterpiece theater exported around the world . This... |
490,100 | 33,913 | 1,086,761 | 2 | The Guide to Parenting Not ! | Remember Robert Kardashian , he was the attorney and best friend of O . J . Simpson ? Of course , you do . Everybody remembers the dream team of the Simpson trial . Bobby's first wife , Kris , married Bruce Jenner and had two more children , Kylie and Kendal . Kris and Bobby were married for twelve years and produced f... |
490,337 | 33,913 | 157,246 | 2 | Just a Disgrace ! | I tried to like Will and Grace . Believe me I tried . But i always get the wrong impression watching this show . Even when they advertise for Will and Grace , he has his arms around her . Isn't he supposed to be gay ? I don't get the relationship between a straight woman and this metro homosexual played by Eric McCorma... |
490,338 | 33,913 | 461,721 | 2 | Sorry , this isn't it , Seth ? | I love Seth Green . His appearances on THat 70s ' Show is always worth watching but last night , I felt the show needed to overhauled . Four single young guys inherit a New York City apartment that most of us would die for . The grandmother must have been an heiress to have such space in the first place . So I felt the... |
490,474 | 33,913 | 95,687 | 3 | one of the worst movies ever made | My Stepmother is an Alien has to be one of the worst movies ever made in the eighties . Alyson Hannigan makes her film debut . Now she's a lesbian witch on Bffy : The Vampire Slaver , this movie is dreadful with a fine cast of actors like Saturday Night Live's Jon Lovitz , Dan Ackroyd , and the beautiful Kim Basinger a... |
490,276 | 33,913 | 44,298 | 3 | Four Hours of Today ! | I have to admit it that I don't watch the Today show . I prefer the Imus show on MSNBC because I feel like it's real , candid , and authentic with great guests . I have stopped watching morning shows like Today because I can't stand the pretentious and falseness . Everybody appears a little too happy for me especially ... |
490,570 | 33,913 | 430,836 | 3 | Why not expand Entertainment Tonight to an Hour Instead ? | The Insider and Entertainment Tonight are just two annoying television shows regarding the entertainment industry . I get more information from the TMZ show . Most of the time , they are just promoting stories and teasing the audience about it . When they get to the promoted story , they spend less time than you can im... |
490,132 | 33,913 | 385,890 | 3 | A Big Fat Mess of Epic Portions ! | Okay , I wanted to like this movie because I love spoofs and satiric films but this movie was way over the top . It was a combination of Pulp Fiction , A Big Fat Greek Wedding , and other films but the script lacked sense and the cast of characters were nobody familiar . I applaud first time directors who try to be inn... |
489,961 | 33,913 | 366,034 | 3 | It's all stereotypes ! | 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 . Harriet Sansom Harris and Lenny Clarke could have a better show without the rest of the cast . They're both really the stars of the show and they are much more intere... |
490,171 | 33,913 | 83,661 | 4 | Waste of talent ! | James Earl Jones is poorly used in this terrible horror film that looks like from the seventies and not the eighties . Lila Kedrova and Jose Ferrer are also misused . The story is crazy about a Loch-Ness type of monster who is beneath a Greek island . The island has secrets but there are not that worthy to know about t... |
489,953 | 33,913 | 367,279 | 4 | I'm not crazy about this one ! | You would think that Ron Howard , the veteran of Happy Days and Andy Griffith Show , would get why I am not crazy about this show . Unlike Happy Days and the Andy Griffith Show , Arrested Development lacks warmth in it's main family . One of the many reasons people watch family oriented sitcoms is because they like the... |
490,385 | 33,913 | 217,630 | 4 | Couldn't be a better title ! | I'm not much for movies nowadays about teens but this garbage was on in my hotel room . Loser is unrealistic but thoughtful love story between a commuter female college student sleeping with her professor and the boy who falls in love with her . It has its moments and charming scenes but overall it's lame just like mos... |
490,293 | 33,913 | 190,524 | 4 | Interesting film about the end of the world | Left Behind is a hard film to swallow unless you are a believer . While I believe in the possibility of Armageddon , I find it hard to believe that children and people would disappear without their clothes everywhere off the world . They don't explain the cause of their disappearance or where they go too . I am glad fo... |
490,089 | 33,913 | 1,243,939 | 5 | Wanted to enjoy it ! | I hope there will be another Kissel movie out there . I read two books about the Kissel Brothers . I felt that Robin Tunney gave the best performance as unhinged Nancy Kissel . You hated her one minute and felt sorry for her in the next minute . She felt like property than a wife . It is true that her father-in-law loo... |
490,177 | 33,913 | 134,618 | 5 | Don't Insult Alaskans ! | Okay , the premise is that the great New York Rangers hockey team would play against an unknown Alaskan team in a small fictional town known as Mystery where they like to keep things as they are . They don't want Price World because it would mean local businesses would lose money and be forced to close . I love Alaska ... |
490,401 | 33,913 | 640,557 | 5 | Sillier than most ! | When Vint gets an invitation to join the secret society of the snakes , he agrees to join and must learn the book which is considered sacred kept against women . So he spends his free time learning to get into the Cobra lodge ignoring his neglected wife , Naomi . He gets help from his nephew , Bubba , in learning all t... |
490,120 | 33,913 | 266,489 | 5 | Funny but mean at times ! | I have to say that the premise of a young couple moving into a beautiful New York duplex especially if it's played by Drew Barrymore and Ben Stiller . There is definite chemistry there between them . The problem is that they have elderly female tenant who lives on the second floor . She is beautifully played by an Brit... |
490,491 | 33,913 | 56,758 | 5 | Butcher Jill Farren Phelps does it again ! | After Santa Barbara , Guiding Light , Another World , and One Life to Live , the Soap Butcher Jill Farren Phelps has placed her friends in high position often ruining such high quality shows . When I was watching Guiding Light , it was at its peak in 1991 . They fired the producer and replaced them with Butcher Phelps ... |
490,650 | 33,913 | 116,138 | 5 | It's not that Awful ! | First , I love Canada and Vancouver , it's a gorgeous city often used for filming locations . Finally a film set in Vancouver but we don't see any sights . You can tell it's a Kevin Smith film whether he produced or financed it himself . I see him at the party with his buddy Jason Mawes who played Az . Jason Lee withou... |
490,409 | 33,913 | 184,858 | 5 | a mixed bag of goods ! | This film is not one of the director's finest works despite it's all star cast with enough twists and turns for a roller coaster ride at an amusement park . Ben Affleck plays an ex-convict whose cell mate gets killed in a prison fight . Ben's character , Rudy , meets up with Ashley played by Charlize Theron . Just reme... |
490,165 | 33,913 | 1,376,649 | 5 | I am so sick of the countess bit ! | I am so sick of LuAnn needed to be called by her title . In this episode , there is a humorous moment when she calls to order pizza and says " countess De Lesseps . " Now I don't know if you order pizza in the real world but the pizza place doesn't care about names as much as getting the right address and paid with a t... |
489,773 | 33,913 | 113,638 | 5 | A cute romantic film | Let it be Me is nothing more than a cute romantic film about couples who falls in love during dance lessons . I remember James Goodwin from his Another World days . It's nice to see Leslie Caron again as Patrick Stewart's love interest . The dancing could have been better though without being corny at times . Otherwise... |
490,194 | 33,913 | 441,774 | 5 | A mixture of truth and fiction ! | Okay if you know the true story about Martha Beck and Raymond Martinez Fernandez , you would know that Martha Beck was an overweight nurse , single mother of two children that she abandoned . The casting of Selma Hayek is fine but they make no attempt in allowing her to be Martha Beck . She is too glamorized in this ro... |
490,815 | 33,913 | 794,911 | 5 | Naomi gets amnesia ! | A typical episode in which Naomi gets amnesia from her head being slammed in the door . By forgetting her identity , she forgets that she's married to Vint and Thelma's daughter-in-law . Naomi spends time with Thelma and Iola who mold her more into their image instead of who she was before the accident . It's a typical... |
490,278 | 33,913 | 327,162 | 5 | Give Me A Break ! | First of all , I know this was only filmed a couple of years ago . They progressed Stepford by having a white gay couple but you are telling me that the perfect world of Stepford is lily white . I mean if you can have a gay couple , you can't have an African American couple and Hispanic couple in Stepford . This is 200... |
490,757 | 33,913 | 167,427 | 5 | Okay , it's silly but lots of fun ! | First of all , Glynis Johns should be made a Dame of the British Empire by now . She is in her 80s but she provides a service playing Mary Catherine Gallagher's loving grandmother . Molly Shannon is also incredibly funny if you enjoy her role as Mary Catherine Gallagher who sniffs her armpits when she's nervous and kno... |
489,823 | 33,913 | 96,555 | 5 | British version of ER | I'm sorry but I am beginning to see a pattern of British dramas which I dare say is quite bland . The acting , the writing , and even the sets are just similar . Holby City and Casualty are two separate shows but I can't tell the difference . The actors and actresses look the same and I'm sure that the cast of characte... |
490,289 | 33,913 | 259,153 | 5 | I'm fascinated but disappointed ! | I consider myself to have some paranormal ability like the those characters in the miniseries . I can't wait to see the rest of this miniseries . I can't wait to buy the book and read all about this beautiful , mysterious mansion in Washington . I hope they did not tear it down for condos . it's a historic landmark . I... |
490,698 | 33,913 | 350,811 | 5 | Disappointed | I am disappointed because the film never explains the disappearances or the circumstances around Rose Red . I think it would have been better if they tried to convey the cause of the mysterious disappearance of April , Ellen , Sukeena , and anybody else who vanished for no reason . I wish Rose Red existed so we can vis... |
490,070 | 33,913 | 304,711 | 5 | So much promise only to be disappointed ! | I have to say that I was expecting more from this film . Heath Ledger is great as the devoted priest and Mark Addy has his fellow priest from the same order . The beginning of the film has questions that are never really answered at all . I was not surprised by the fact that they had to bring in a character , Mara Will... |
490,853 | 33,913 | 117,350 | 5 | Not that Bad ! | I gave it a try a second time . Years had passed since I first bought the tape , look , it's a spoof of Pulp Fiction , Reservoir Dogs , Forrest Gump , and other films . It's not supposed to be serious , it's supposed to stupid . I thought the nuns were funny trying to rob a bank . Sandra Bernhard plays the Amanda Plumm... |
490,496 | 33,913 | 758,737 | 5 | It's just annoying ! | Okay , you have a great cast like Sally Field , Tom Skerritt , Calista Flockhart , and others to make this large unnecessary ensemble . But after only watching a few minutes , I got really annoyed because the siblings were always calling each other on the phone . It got to much to me . First , we see Calista's characte... |
490,638 | 33,913 | 112,002 | 5 | Never Made It Up High Enough ! | I was thrilled that Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell were going to do a sitcom probably inspired by the British comedy , Absolutely Fabulous , about two upper class spoiled New Yorkers . Faith Prince was terribly underused and under-rated . She was supposed to be huge after her triumphant performance in Guys and Dolls opp... |
489,804 | 33,913 | 1,222,814 | 5 | Great if You Want to See Hollywood's Finest Getting Smashed ! | I preferred last year's ceremony where the announcements of the nominations and the winners were declared without the fanfare . A year later after the Writers Strike , I was stunned to see the stars to be inebriated on stage . I would recommend that they don't serve liquor until after the awards are complete . In fact ... |
490,854 | 33,913 | 59,319 | 6 | Can't figure it out ! | I don't know about this film . I have watched it a couple of times and I don't get it . Maybe it's because I think the story is a little weak . I love Sir Michael Caine , Nigel Green , and Sue Lloyd in their roles but I think the story was slow-moving . Maybe the film was supposed to take off after the James Bond film ... |
490,672 | 33,913 | 384,642 | 6 | Will Ferrell tries but the writing fails itself ! | I love Will Ferrell . I was watching this movie yesterday . He works well with the brilliant Robert Duvall who plays his champion father , Buck Weston , who would do nothing but win . Will's character marries Kate Walsh's character and they have a son , Sam , and so does Will's dad and his new wife have a son named Buc... |
489,738 | 33,913 | 101,158 | 6 | Golden Girls Grandchild ! | If the Golden Girls gave birth to Empty Nest , then Empty Nest gave birth to Nurses , a sitcom , which featured the talented and underused Stephanie Hodge who left the show . Arnetia Walker was very good as one of the nurses as Ada Maris . The show also included Loni Anderson as a hospital administrator . The show was ... |
490,448 | 33,913 | 1,411,598 | 6 | A Sour Disappointment ! | I have to say that after watching the housewives of Atlanta and New York City , I had high expectations for the housewives of New Jersey but I felt left with a sour taste in my mouth just after watching the preview . Five of the housewives live in the posh , elegant Franklin Lakes area which used to have residents like... |
490,395 | 33,913 | 640,624 | 6 | Mama's Addiction ! | After Iola gets some jewelry by home shopping on local television , she gets Thelma hooked beyond the extremes .

Unfortunately , it gets in a lot of hands like Naomi who thinks Bubba is in love with her , Mama who thinks the repair guy wrote it , Iola who thinks Vint is finally coming around to her . Anyway , the whole me... |
490,410 | 33,913 | 483,726 | 6 | A Disappointing Film with an All Star Cast and Crew ! | When Barry Levinson wrote and directed this film , I had high expectations and now I'm needlessly watching the DVD so I can give it away . Oscar Winner Robin Williams is perfect as is Oscar nominee Laura Linney . Lewis Black comes across as himself in his role and Christopher Walken does a decent job but the script jus... |
490,304 | 33,913 | 640,595 | 6 | Iola dates a jerk ! | Let's face it , life hasn't been too good to Iola Lucille Boylen , the forever old maid spinster who knits and creates while caring for her never seen elderly shut-in parents over the years .

490,403 | 33,913 | 640,553 | 6 | Poor Iola ! | Iola Lucille Boylan is a dedicated adult devoted to her elderly , sick parents . We hear about her mother and father often in the series but we never see them . Iola spends so much time the Harpers that she is an honorary one but not always welcome . In this episode , Naomi suggests to Mama Harper that they put an adve... |
490,816 | 33,913 | 640,547 | 6 | Why do they do this ? | I don't know why they didn't do the senior prom episode before Bubba's graduation . Regardless , this show seems to have some episodes that go out of order and this is one of them . Iola's niece , Vernette , is visiting Raytown for the week and their painting the town red . Bubba tries talking to her but he gets mostly... |
490,399 | 33,913 | 640,549 | 6 | Bubba Joining the Army Not Without Mama ! | Bubba Higgins is upset because Melanie Noble , the girl he was going out with , told her parents that Bubba was in juvenile hall and her father prohibited her from going out with him .

490,094 | 33,913 | 43,651 | 6 | Worthwhile role for Marilyn ! But there is so much more ! | The Home Town Story didn't win Oscars or probably rave reviews . With the exception of Marilyn Monroe playing a receptionist / secretary at a small town newspaper , the film might as well have been forgotten . The story is about an unelected state senator who returns home to run the family newspaper with help and frien... |
490,556 | 33,913 | 68,399 | 6 | Columbo in Waiting . | Another Columbo episode featuring Webster actress Susan Clark as the woman who wants to lead her life without her overbearing brother's interference over the decision of her life . After his murder or accidental death , we miss Marcia Wallace , the lady at the inquest . I saw this episode on television so I don't know ... |
490,096 | 33,913 | 103,396 | 6 | It's not as good as other shows ! | Lately , Dateline has become a poor copy of , Sixty Minutes , and 48 Hours with hours spent on covering crime such as murders and scams . Much like A & E's American Justice , Investigative Reports , and other series . Dateline covering the Suitcase Murders was kind of inferior to other shows that focused on the same cr... |
490,021 | 33,913 | 772,542 | 6 | Sonja's Older than Buzz ! | In this episode , we learn that Vint and his first wife , Mitzi , had Sonya or Sonja first followed by Vinton " Buzz " Jr .

In this episode , Sonja and Buzz go the Homecoming Dance... |
489,788 | 33,913 | 221,768 | 6 | Not so Perfect Movie ! | I read the book and of course there must be a movie and in fact there was a mini-series for this book . I watched it and was a bit disappointed with it . I mean because we don't have a viable suspect even with John Mark Karr proclaiming his guilt and not being in the same state . He probably never met JonBenet Ramsey o... |
490,166 | 33,913 | 1,376,648 | 6 | They Don't Need Another Housewife ! | Well , the sixth housewife is actually a divorced mother of two children with a social column . Her name is Kelly and she's fond of riding horses . In the Hamptons , riding or abusing horses is an unnecessary sport in my opinion . Of course , the Countess is fond of riding as is her daughter , Victoria , who has wildly... |
490,644 | 33,913 | 87,313 | 6 | Great Cast but Weak Script ! | The story of a dying woman's last request is to meet her favorite film actress . It wouldn't be problem but the actress is Greta Garbo who has remained in seclusion for years since her retirement from the film industry . Anne Bancroft plays the dying mother and Ron Silver plays her son . The rest of the cast includes H... |
490,145 | 33,913 | 358,135 | 6 | Dirty Dancing for the Mature Folk ! | It has a great cast with Susan Sarandon and Richard Gere as a married couple in Chicago . Jennifer Lopez has a supporting role as one of the dance instructors and Stanley Tucci who is always fabulous plays one of Gere's colleagues and dance enthusiast . Anyway , the plot about the husband going to dancing lessons and t... |
490,492 | 33,913 | 192,917 | 6 | Dame Juliet rules this show ! | I have been a found of Juliet Mills since I was a child . Little did I know that she would marry the gorgeous and 18 year old her junior , Maxwell Caulfield , from Grease 2 . Not only that , they have been almost 25 years too . Besides , Juliet Mills ' Tabitha would delight her departed godfather Lord Laurence Oliver a... |
489,744 | 33,913 | 98,394 | 6 | It's disappointing ! | Strapless is written by one of British theater's finest playwrights , David Hare . Strapless stars Blair Brown and Bridget Fonda as American expatriates in London . Blair and Bridget play sisters who are completely opposite of each other . While Blair's character is stable and a doctor , Bridget is unstable and unpredi... |
490,012 | 33,913 | 115,836 | 6 | I wish I was in a Carpool ! | Tom Arnold and David Paymer are a terrific team together . The movie is silly and enjoyable with them and Rhea Perlman as a meter maid . The film is family oriented and fun to watch . It's no Oscar contender but it's just great for laughs . Maybe Paymer and Arnold should do a sitcom together . Alright it's not the grea... |
490,735 | 33,913 | 839,178 | 6 | It's April Fools ! | Unfortunately , Mama's Family has been on cable or on much in syndication anymore which is a shame because it can be a funny show at times . What I love and miss about it is the sense of humor which is an acquired taste . It's first two seasons of the show had guest stars like Betty White , Harvey Korman , Carol Burnet... |
490,195 | 33,913 | 96,635 | 6 | Too Cute for Me ! | Life Goes On reminds me of those movies of the week but made for a television series . It's one of those feel-good dramas starring the wonderful Patti LuPone who plays mother to Becca played by the annoying Kellie Martin , ( sorry but I avoid her whenever possible ! ) She's just too perky for me , and Corky played by t... |
490,317 | 33,913 | 90,305 | 6 | 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... |
490,262 | 33,913 | 243,931 | 6 | Not so great ! Not so bad ! That's my good advice ! | Charlie Sheen does best at playing playboy Charlie Sheen . In this film , he plays an investment broker ( Remember him from Wall Street ) , well , he gets fired and needs money to pay the rent .

490,307 | 33,913 | 96,579 | 6 | No Cosby Clone ! | Let's face it , Jaleel White's unforgettable role and performance as Urkel was the show's saving grace . After all the show had a stellar cast including the wonderful Rosetta LeNoire who played the grandmother , JoMarie Payton-France as the show's matriarch whose character was spun off from Perfect Strangers , Reginald... |
490,793 | 33,913 | 77,003 | 6 | Makes me Wish I didn't know the truth ! | Watching the true Hollywood story on E ! about the cast of Different Strokes was heartbreaking , after all , two of the three cast members had substance abuse problems and the star , Gary Coleman , had problems with his parents that he sued them . It's sad to watch the show , I wish I didn't know Dana Plato's problems ... |
490,846 | 33,913 | 77,008 | 6 | Be Careful What You Wish For ! | I don't know why I liked this show so much as a child . Maybe it was the fantasy island bit where people's dreams and fantasies come true only it was never an ideal . This show was a spin-off of Love Boat again with celebrity guest stars from other shows and a cast that included the wonderful Ricardo Montalban and Herv... |
490,693 | 33,913 | 1,084,587 | 6 | He's different from the rest ! | Steve Wilkos spent years on the Jerry Springer Show as one of the show's bodyguards . Besides that , he has a police background and military experience . By given his own show from Springer's producer , Steve is a lot more serious about his topics and show itself . He holds nothing back when he goes head to head agains... |
490,673 | 33,913 | 387,514 | 6 | The Prime of Your Life ! | Uma Thurman and Meryl Streep make this film come alive . The story about Rafaela , a 37 year old career divorcée , starts dating a younger Jewish guy , David Bloomberg . It turns out that her Jewish psychotherapist is his mother played by Waspy Meryl Streep . Okay , she's not Jewish and she's older . She details specif... |
490,130 | 33,913 | 206,926 | 6 | Maybe , Just Okay ! | Long before Hugh Laurie OBE and Joely Richardson became known for their roles on American dramas like House and Nip / Tuck , they were already established and well-known in their native Britain as top professional performers . In this film , Ben Elton directs them with a first rate cast but the script needs some work a... |
490,101 | 33,913 | 196,229 | 6 | Spoofing the Model World ! | Ben Stiller takes the crack at spoofing the model world in this film version where he plays Derek Zoolander , one of the top male models . Owen Wilson also plays his rival . Derek's not bright at all and it should come as no surprise . Will Ferrell has a supporting role as the man who is set to kill the prime minister ... |
490,737 | 33,913 | 1,400,974 | 6 | Let's All Just Get Along ! | Kelly probably has never heard that saying before . Bethenny makes a sly comment about Kelly's behavior at a charity fund-raising for Jill's charity about juvenile arthritis . Kelly has Bethenny meet up with her at the Brass Monkey bar downtown in New York for a heated confrontation . Neither need each other , Bethenny... |
490,133 | 33,913 | 115,369 | 6 | Don't Know What the Fuss was all about ! | I never really liked this perhaps because I felt Michael Boatman's performance as the homosexual character was kind of a token gay character . The show first revolved around Michael J . Fox as Mike Flaherty who works for New York City mayor played by Barry Bostwick . The supporting cast included Alan Ruck , Richard Kin... |
490,097 | 33,913 | 94,419 | 6 | The Baby Boom of Television | Maybe it was the writers ' strike in 1988 that helped bring in the television recession of bad comedies and dramas , despite being based on the film of the same name and the same adorable identical twins playing Baby Elizabeth . The show could have worked if the network allowed it too . Kate Jackson replaced Diane Keat... |
489,845 | 33,913 | 86,696 | 6 | I wanted to have an identical twin so much ! | I don't know . I think there is something incredible about identical twins . Since twins don't run in my family , I doubt that I will ever have twins myself . The Sagal twins ( Liz and Jean ) are also sisters to Katey Sagal . The first season had them together in the Midwest . The second season moved them to New York C... |
490,546 | 33,913 | 90,543 | 6 | Could have been better ! Could have been worse ! | What a Country was shown on syndication rather than network . It was one of those shows that was never going to succeed there . It was not that bad . Yakov proved his comedic talents about himself as a Russian immigrant trying to learn English in class with other immigrants . The appeal was there but it never launched ... |
490,173 | 33,913 | 75,145 | 6 | First Rate Cast can't help weak script ! | 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 ... |
490,284 | 33,913 | 935,327 | 6 | Show has jumped the shark ! | I thought I was watching bloopers from Rosemary's Baby on Sunday night when I saw Mother Hodge and Alma set Orson up . It was ridiculous . If you watch soaps , they could have sent Bree to visit her ailing father in Rhode Island rather than causing more trouble . Anyway , Lynette quits her office job to work for her hu... |
490,233 | 33,913 | 310,460 | 6 | Forget George Lopez ! Give Belita her own show ! | Now George Lopez Show is not a bad . It is worth watching a few times . But what I think is the best part of the show is Belita Moreno who plays Bennie , the mother of George Lopez . Belita Moreno is certainly worth watching out for ever since she played a secretary in the television film , Death Benefit . I am glad th... |
490,626 | 33,913 | 374,275 | 6 | A Warm Family Holiday Film NOt ! | I liked this film with Bryan Cranston as the Hippy poor cousin Woodrow Snider , town outcast , and Judge Reinhold as the straight-laced Los Angeles doctor . Both men have two wives one played by the fabulous under-rated Penelope Ann Miller and the other by Hallie Todd who does a great job as being the straight woman . ... |
490,148 | 33,913 | 866,230 | 6 | Poor Liz ! | Dr . Cruz has had quite a difficult season . First , she picks up a woman at a lesbian bar with Christian Troy . They go back to her place and she wakes up with one less kidney . That's another story . Now , she is dating another doctor , Poppy , played by Alanis Morrisette . The only problem with Poppy is that she is ... |
490,751 | 33,913 | 77,354 | 6 | A disappointing end to the series ! | I am kind of surprised that this episode would be the last one for a brilliant series like Columbo . The Conspirators is about Irishmen , I . R . A . , boats , wine , and books . Jeannette Nolan better remembered as the housekeeper in another episode also appears . Clive Revill is memorable as the prime suspect but it'... |
490,005 | 33,913 | 247,150 | 6 | it's absolutely hell | While Dame Judi Dench is magnificent as always , this play is dreadfully depressing about the lives of London life after WWII . But my biggest problem with it is the more than average homosexuality in the drama . While Dame Judi plays the tragic lonely heroine who would plead for the companionship of a homosexual . The... |
490,309 | 33,913 | 88,492 | 6 | Wasn't All That Bad ! | I remember when CBS and ABC had to have their answer to the huge success of the Cosby Show . CBS brought Flip Wilson and Gladys Knight as a middle class African American show living in an apartment with children played by Jaleel White who became better known as super nerd , Urkel on Family Matters and Kristoff St . Joh... |
490,701 | 33,913 | 86,374 | 6 | A kind of silly movie but worth watching ! | I never saw Strange Invaders until yesterday but I found it immensely pleasurable to watch . Diana Scarwid , Nancy Allen , Louise Fletcher , and the cast was pretty interesting to watch with their material about alien beings playing humans for 25 years . While it probably took off from E . T . in the previous year , St... |
490,847 | 33,913 | 75,529 | 6 | Sugar and Sweet and Everything Nice ! | Let's face it , it was not the best of shows but not the worst either . It had lots of wonderful guest stars who livened up the show . When I finally took a cruise to Alaska , I was expecting a love boat scenario but that's not what I got . Love Boat is indeed fantasy with a great theme song sung by Dionne Warwick and ... |
490,611 | 33,913 | 340,256 | 7 | Prematurely Canceled ! | My Big Fat Greek Life could have worked if they allowed it too evolve on its own in time . Sadly canceled by CBS due to poor ratings ! It was aired on Sunday nights and not the Monday nights during the comedy lineup . When will networks learn to give comedies a chance like in the past , I could name several shows like ... |
490,191 | 33,913 | 350,111 | 7 | A Television Adaptation of an Irish play ! | Sean O'Casey , the Irish playwright , was known for his plays set in his beloved Ireland . This play is not much different . It is set in a tenement in Dublin during the 1920s where there were problems among the classes . In this drama , Frank Converse is dynamic as a leading role as an aspiring Irish poet who is caugh... |
490,809 | 33,913 | 171,259 | 7 | A cute fun movie | I bought Earthly Possessions because they filmed some scenes in New Jersey's Ocean Grove which is doubled as Perth , South Carolina . I really liked the chemistry between Sarandon and Dorff to surprise me . It is such a surprise delight and worth a viewing . It is well written with a somewhat believable story . It has ... |

490,184 | 33,913 | 80,269 | 7 | Not as Good as the original show ! | Redd Foxx was the star of Sanford and Son . Here he reprises his role as Fred Sanford without his son , Lamont . He has a new partner played by Dennis Burkley . His character is white , overweight sidekick but he's quite funny at times . The other characters include a wealthy widow , Evelyn Lewis , played by Marguerite... |
490,290 | 33,913 | 120,481 | 7 | not disappointing | This is not a disappointing film with a great cast including Dame Maggie Smith , Jennifer Jason Leigh , and Sir Albert Finney ( although he refused knighthood ) .
