489,874 | 33,913 | 257,315 | 7 | A Delightful uneven show ! | I like My Family .

490,268 | 33,913 | 74,860 | 7 | It was a decent film but it could have been better | At the end of the Marathon Man , I felt myself asking a lot more questions about Dustin's character .

490,174 | 33,913 | 94,540 | 7 | Was fine as a blue collar show until it went awry ! | I liked the Roseanne show when it was a blue collar comedy that made people laugh mostly about themselves .

490,150 | 33,913 | 883,069 | 7 | Dixie steals this episode hands down ! | Dixie Carter playing Gloria Hodge has to be one of the best performances in recent years .

When she says " I should have smothered you as... |

490,449 | 33,913 | 1,280,629 | 7 | It's not so bad ! | I believe sitcoms are still worth the effort regardless of the cost . Let's face it , sitcoms are preferable in syndication than any crime dramas . In this sitcom , veteran comic Bob Saget plays a suburban dad and husband and Cynthia Stevenson plays his wife in unmentioned suburb somewhere . In the pilot episode , we m... |

490,221 | 33,913 | 762,107 | 7 | Don't take it seriously and you'll enjoy it ! ! | Okay , this is not one of the best movies ever made nor was it the worst . But the premise of a sham gay marriage or domestic partnership to get health benefits and pension for his two children is done well with starring Kevin James as the widowed father and Adam Sandler as his best friend . He saved his life after all... |
489,739 | 33,913 | 94,455 | 7 | Not Entirely Empty ! | The show was a spin-off of Golden Girls about their neighbor , Dr .

490,794 | 33,913 | 88,610 | 7 | Not so Bad ! | Remember that this show was one of the first sitcoms in syndication in the 1980s . It was a new thing .

I often saw it on Saturday evenings usually before Mam... |
490,144 | 33,913 | 284,767 | 7 | Not for everybody ! | Bill O'Reilly is an acquired taste . His audiences probably have a lot of gray hair if you ask me . But then again , he can be fun to watch and he is definitely fun to spoof on Mad TV and Saturday Night Live . O'Reilly's audiences are probably Republican , blue and white collar , conservative etc . His appeal is that h... |

Think the Jerry Springer Show & Entertainment Tonight ! | If want proof or evidence that the stars today are unlike the golden age of yesterday , this show entitled TMZ which stands for the Thirty Miles Zone around the Los Angeles or Hollywood area .

490,002 | 33,913 | 187,664 | 7 | Enjoyable British Comedy Going the Edge ! | I only saw one episode because I was on a plane . At first , I didn't like it but it grew on me about cartoonist who submitted the wrong picture to the man who can change his life forever . He has to get it before he sees it . Well remember the Mission Impossible scene where Tom Cruise has to break into the CIA but it'... |
490,243 | 33,913 | 90,540 | 7 | It was never the same without Harper ! | This show really belonged to Valerie Harper , no offense to her replacement Sandy Duncan .

The cast was first rate including... |
490,682 | 33,913 | 96,271 | 7 | Melissa Leo is truly a mesmerizing actress ! | Melissa Leo truly is understated and under-appreciated in the Hollywood industry .

490,547 | 33,913 | 90,533 | 7 | A Decent Syndicated Show ! | I remember this show being on Saturday evenings back in the 1980s . That was when syndicated television shows like Throb and Mama's Family aired when it didn't succeed on prime time . Anyhow , Throb was alright . It wasn't bad . The writing was decent and so was the acting of Diana Canova . I swear that Jane Leeves fro... |
490,577 | 33,913 | 129,280 | 7 | A Needless Remake ! | Let's face it , the Out of Towners may have been an updated remake about an Ohio couple dealing with the troubles in New York City but I think the original was more believable and realistic . I didn't like the ending because that's not what I expected . The purpose of the original movie was about an Ohio couple who may... |
489,791 | 33,913 | 104,411 | 7 | A Great Sequel to a Horrifying Story ! | Meredith Baxter miraculously makes us feel some sympathy for the spoiled former wife of attorney Daniel Broderick even in this sequel to the original television film .

489,781 | 33,913 | 112,060 | 7 | It could have made it ! | Too bad , UPN didn't give this show a chance . I liked it . Richard Grieco is better know for his role on 21 Jump Street but he plays a Jersey born guy who moves to Hawaii and becomes a private investigator . They haven't shown this show in a while so my memory is pretty vague . I would have liked to seen more of it fo... |
489,749 | 33,913 | 320,052 | 7 | It's less than perfect but a great show ! | I am a very difficult viewer with television comedies today .

490,330 | 33,913 | 410,997 | 7 | Keep the audience guessing ! | I liked Jack & Bobby . I am not a big fan of the dramatic genre or the melodramatic series like this one but I liked this show .

490,207 | 33,913 | 366,551 | 7 | I wanted to like it ! | I do find the film entertaining at some moments but completely unbelievable at another .

Anyway , Harold is a Korean American investment banker and his friend... |
490,095 | 33,913 | 100,004 | 7 | The Queen of Mean Reigns Supreme ! | Suzanne Pleshette deserved an award for playing the most unlikable woman or most hated woman in recent history , Leona Rosenthal Helmsley .

490,788 | 33,913 | 90,395 | 7 | Amen ! Amen ! Amen ! | Amen was a good sitcom . It was set in a Protestant Church led by Sherman Hemsley's character .
