Rev Run's Sunday Suppers (2014)
Fun and Funny
This is such a cute show. I was flipping the channel and stopped on this show just to see what it was like - I liked seeing a husband and wife cooking in the kitchen together. It surely did not disappoint! They're fun and funny as well as the theme is "family", which I appreciate.
Not only does this couple create foods in creative ways, they also have some dialog which made me laugh - like Grampa wanting dessert.. that was so my dad! I just kept smiling.
I appreciate families cooking together, learning together and trying to create healthy alternatives. This is a true "family" meal show where everyone is involved, "what would you like to add for supper" and the son replies, "Potato chips!"
I recommend this for anyone wanting to watch something which is light-hearted as well as fun.
Flipping Out: A New Project (2007)
Childish - Save your time
I thought the concept in idea sounded solid - another flip show which went through the process and stresses. Instead, there's a middle-aged-man with a poor Botox job who whines like a 2 year old spoiled brat during the "brat years." He's so lost that he wastes time and money seeking spiritualist and psychics, but it doesn't end there.. he also causes his poor, innocent animals, to suffer under his mental illness and has them receive acupuncture.. really? Someone plays Hollywood too much.
Add to this a boy-man whom thinks he has all the answers to flip questions in homes, when really he's just letting people guide his every step.
Jeff, "the flipper" is annoying, rude, self-centered and annoying... yes, I know I already said that before.
Bravo could not find a more annoying flipper if they reviewed 5,0000,0000,000 submitted tapes - save your time! This show is more about Jeff's stupidity and insecurity than house flipping.
This should be re-titled to,"Boy-man's Worries About Leaves Falling - Why must they! WHY!"
One Big Happy (2015)
Snooze - Spoiler Alert
No matter how hard I tried, this could not catch my attention. A board meeting with long winded speakers whom draw out their words is more appealing. Snooze-fest.
I was excited about new comedies.. I began watching this comedy and it was flat.. the over-exaggerated English accent just toiled it to the ground - right when I thought it couldn't possibly get any worse.
My husband began begging me to change the channel, saying, "I just can't take this anymore! It's horrible!" I like to offer things the benefit of the doubt, but this was even too much for me. I began daydreaming.. about work! Yep.. time to change the channel.
I keep my eyes open for comedies with witty repartee, well written scripts, intriguing dialogue and characters whom are well played, well written and believable... none are found in this new comedy.
Oh well, back to reruns, at least until something which can keep me awake is released.
Frasier (1993)
Spoiler Warning
What can I possibly say that can add an ounce to the excellent scripting, well thought out lovable, and not-so-likable, characters? Frasier was a "spin-off" in a sense to Cheers. However, Frasier, in my opinion, exceeded Cheers in many ways; the writing is superb, the wit, sarcasm, come-backs, underhanded remarks.. even with watching them on re-runs for several years, still I find something new. Something makes me laugh.
Eddie is just lovable.. totally adorable, and very well trained. Martin is a handsome older-man whom, like his sons, has hard times finding the right mate.
Daphne, Niles, Roz and many others are great additions to the entire comedy, they fill it beautifully. Though Niles has often-times made the episode stellar! I wish we had such excellent writing as this nowadays. I know great writers still exist, I'm just waiting to see their work produced.
Kudos to the Frasier writers, editors, staff and directors - you did it all perfectly and we miss you!
Keeping Up Appearances (1990)
Wonderfully funny
There are few well written comedies anymore. When I found this comedy on Netflix it was with a "well.. let's have something on in the background while we do chores", type of interest (there wasn't any).
As we cleaned and went about our day, I caught some of the lines being said.. it was funny! My husband and I sat down and started to watch the show; we were hooked! A funny story-line, well written witty lines, interesting and well thought out characters whom were very well developed.
My only regret is there is not a season two. I am looking for more of these types of shows; clean, wholesome, family able to view together, and witty! Truly enjoyable - Hollywood could learn a lot.
Least Among Saints (2012)
Spoiler Warning
The story had a good base and concept; the struggles of war and the haunting of what happened at war, which few "at home" can relate.
Enter the wife whom feels in danger and a life which seems to be falling apart. I'm sure many military can relate to the demons that haunt.
And then there's hope, hope in a young boy, hope in having someone to care for, maybe a small way to right a large wrong (the child he shot in war)... and then the dog.
Why kill the dog?! You lost me after that.. the movie was okay up to that point; typical drug addict selfishness, child suffering from the bad choices of his parent.. and then the dog is killed?! I can't stand those types of movies. Isn't there enough bad in the world?
I regret choosing this movie as mine and my husband's "down time to relax".. all it did was recharge my emotions and upset me all over again. *sigh*
Madea Goes to Jail (2009)
Excellent! Funny!
I was busy getting ready for the Holiday meal preparing when Madea came on television, it takes a lot to grab my attention but this did.
I found this movie to be funny, serious, silly, and a pure joy. I really enjoyed the back to common sense writing mixed in with the crazy antics of a silly senior citizen.
Since I've seen this movie I've begun watching all of the crazy antics of Madea, a true pleasure!
I look forward to more of Tyler Perry's writings, and please keep it fun and clean like it is now.
A fun watch for sure!
