I wanna dip my...

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago on 14 February 2008 03:28 (A review of The State)

...if you've seen it, you know how the rest goes. This was (and still is) great sketch comedy. There are people who don't like it, and that's ok. Nobody's perfect. heh.

If you get a chance to watch it, check it out. You'll find plenty of quotable lines, and might find something else you like.

survive it, anywhere.

Posted : 2 years, 10 months ago on 5 January 2007 08:21 (A review of Survivorman)

This guy is the real deal, and the show is awesome for it. He lugs the camera equipment with him and is left on his own for seven days (at the most).

Even though he's out there to survive, he still tries to show that there are some things that you could do in a "real" survival situation, but only if it's life or death. It's very informative, and it might just save you someday...

what do the camera guys do?

Posted : 2 years, 10 months ago on 5 January 2007 07:53 (A review of Man vs. Wild)

This is a great show, and one of the best survival shows out there. You learn about all of the things to do (and not to do) when you're in the jungle... or the desert... or the arctic... It's amazing to watch him do what he does best. He's amazing at surviving, and it's all about what he knows.

But I wonder about the camera work. He has a crew with him, and I wonder about how they get some of the shots. Still a really good show, and very entertaining.

this *is* his show.

Posted : 2 years, 10 months ago on 5 January 2007 05:16 (A review of The Tom Green Show)

Occasionally funny, but mostly something to fill some time between dinner and dessert (depending on your time zone). It just got old quickly, and you can only take so much of him trying to do a variation of the same thing and have it be funny...

like the commercial...

Posted : 2 years, 10 months ago on 5 January 2007 05:12 (A review of MacGyver)

He could make anything out of anything. They even made a credit card commercial out of this amazing ability, and recently too. This was one of the great shows of the mid-80's, and worth seeing what Mac (and the Phoenix foundation) were going to work on next.

Maybe it was fixing a nuclear reactor with chocolate again... or beating Murdock at his own game...

we all wanted a kitt

Posted : 2 years, 10 months ago on 5 January 2007 05:09 (A review of Knight Rider)

If you watched this, you know you wished you had a car like KITT. He could do everything, even DRIVE for you! All you had to do was communicate with him through your watch, and he could pick you up... It made for a great show, and you had a hero going from place to place, showing the bad guys that they couldn't push {{fill in the oppressed group}} around.

Watching it now is like traveling back in time, since KITT could process something like 8MB of data a day... I think a calculator can handle that now.

from my radio... to my video.

Posted : 2 years, 10 months ago on 4 January 2007 07:39 (A review of Kidd Video)

This was one of the best cheesy Saturday morning cartoons out there (from the 80's anyway). It had live action music and dated fashion and "teens" fighting against Master Blaster (an evil tycoon) from another dimension... which happened to be animated.

next, on house...

Posted : 2 years, 10 months ago on 3 January 2007 10:30 (A review of House M.D.)

Someone gets sick in a really weird way, and only Dr. House and his team can figure it out.

Maybe that's close to the plot line in a lot of the episodes, but I still get sucked in and watch it. There's more to the show than that too, including his "issue" with pain meds and the relationships he's built and tore down. Great to watch and try to figure out.

...and knowing is half the battle.

Posted : 2 years, 10 months ago on 3 January 2007 10:25 (A review of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero)

Sure, it was a military group. Sure, they shot at each other and the bad guys were plotting to do horrible things... but nobody ever got killed (until the movie, but that's another review), and the good guys always won. Oh, and just to be sure, they threw in a PSA (public service announcement) to help the kids learn.

Great show, and one of my favorites from growing up.

couldn't wait to see it.

Posted : 2 years, 10 months ago on 3 January 2007 10:17 (A review of Heroes)

When the promos first ran for this, I knew I would like it. When I saw the show, I was right. This is like a grown-up version of a comic book, in the form of a series.

This will be something that I get when it's out on DVD, and I can't wait to see what happens next.
