Unfairly maligned TV shows and movies

Versatile: I can't say anything bad about The Wonder Years since I went to school with Dan Lauria and, if I did, he'd kick my ass.

 

Same here.

 

I still watch both. There's a couple on Private Practice whose interactions I enjoy. Grey's is still fun, and doesn't take itself as seriously as it used to. They've done a nice job moving the show forward, character-wise.

This is one of the new interns:



And, in typical Grey's fashion, they said "OK, let's give the cutest intern a bad family past." She was abandoned at birth. No word on a trailer park or modeling, though.

Really enjoy Scandal. Lot of Gilmore Girls alums guest on that show. Like Gilmore Girls had a lot of Twin Peaks alums. The cycle of TV continues . . .

 

Scandal is ridiculous. I watch it every week and will probably continue to watch it, but it isn't at all what it started out to be -- dramatizations of actual political scandals and how they're polished up for public viewing -- and it isn't within 100 light-years of plausible.

But Kerry Washington is hot and they dress her up nice.

 

It's weird that she literally only has three facial expressions though, right?

 

That is weird, yes. Even during sex, it's one of those three.

 

Agreed. Especially the West Wing comparisons.

I mean, of course it's not the West Wing.

 

Pretty much all of Robin Williams' serious movies. The Final Cut, One Hour Photo, What Dreams May Come, World's Greatest Dad. I think they're all great. Most people are creeped out by him in those roles.

 

I don't like most Robin Williams movies, comedy or other.

Notable exceptions:
'The Fisher King' - I love this movie. It's one of my all-time favorites.
'Moscow on the Hudson' - I don't know hwy I like this movie so muchy, but I do.

 

USA Today once described NCIS as "the worst-written show on TV." I thought that was unfair, and its real breakout in popularity seemed to follow that slam.

 

Freddy Got Fingered. Over-the-top manic stupidity. I love all of it.

 

"Daddy, would you like some sausages?" That movie is so, so dumb but gets me every time. When Tom Green hits his girlfriend in the face, I can't help but laugh.
