Cosby (1996–2000)

Oh so sadly bad...watch "One Foot in the Grave" instead.

[13 June 2005]

I had such high hopes for this show...one of the smartest, wittiest and darkly humorous shows in television history...this is not.

But "One Foot In the Grave" with Meldrews and Ms. Warbouys...is. How the two could come from the same concept is beyond me. Skip this show and go directly to ANY place you can catch the BBC original.

While "One Foot in the Grave" made you laugh, cry, reel in horror and generally enjoy quality British writing. Of course it may not be for the unwashed masses of the Americas (perhaps thats why BBC America hasn't played it yet? Of course they did manage to show the entire run of "Royale Family" so one has to wonder...).

Bob and Margaret (1993–2001)

Funny Show

[6 November 2003]

This show doesn't hit you over the head with funny...it's sublime. Like most good British comedy. My only regret is that Bob Fish was replaced in the third series...

If you don't get British humour, you just don't. But if you do...I highly recommend this show.

Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)

A review by someone who has seen the movie.

[9/10 · 6 October 2003]

This movie is nothing at all like "The Blair Witch Project".

If you're a fan of such movies as "This is Spinal Tap", "Waiting for Guffman" and "Best In Show", you'll thoroughly enjoy this movie.

Kirstie Alley has what may be the best movie role of her career in this movie, and Denise Richards does an admirable job as her bitchy beauty-queen wannabe daughter. Easy, Allison Janney ("Most smartest...") steals the show in this movie. The rest supporting cast is incredible, including many character actors and a few unknowns.

Kirsten Dunst is perfect in this movie as well, playing her slightly left-of-center role with grace and a lot of charm.

Overall this is a quality movie. Maybe not for all viewers, but if you've got that certian humorous bent to you...and you know who you are...you'll love this movie.

Even if it isn't "The Blair Witch Project".
