LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

zetes A favorite from my childhood. I was always told throughout my teen and early adult years that this was a completely moronic show that I only liked because I was a kid, but in the rise of the internet age, I found that it was a much beloved cult classic. I felt vindicated, but always wanted to rewatch it to see for myself. It had an early "greatest hits" type release about a decade ago, but then finally got a complete series release with a good amount of extras in 2012. I picked it up and have been rewatching it over the past few months. It is a Hell of a lot of fun. I wouldn't exactly say it's a great series, mostly because it takes a season and a half to work out some kinks and then it got canceled shortly thereafter. Had it gotten a third season, it might rank among the greatest TV series ever. Chris Elliott stars as a 30 year-old paperboy who lives with his parents. He gets in wacky, mostly low-key adventures. The first episode, for example, is about him and his best friend getting stuck upside down in a roller coaster for the entire episode. The show really picks up when Chris moves from his parents' house to the garage of a retired cop (Brian Doyle-Murray). Doyle-Murray, Bill Murray's brother, is hysterical and, for a long time, was my favorite of the Murray brothers because of this series. This was easily his best work ever, but I always get excited when I see him on TV or in a movie.

MartinHafer I guess I have no taste at all. After all, I loved this show and watched every episode when it first aired. However, its success was very short-lived and so America sent the message that it wasn't impressed. I wonder if it was really because the show was bad ("stupid", yes--"bad", no), or because it wasn't marketed well or because after the first season they kept re-tooling and messing with a good formula. Often this "re-tooling" is the kiss of death, and in this case it certainly was true. The comedic balance was gone and the episodes seemed choppier and less funny--but still excellent to my apparently low standards. I also think that MANY people have a hard time suspending disbelief and just didn't know what to think about these rather surreal episodes. I loved ZOO ANIMALS ON WHEELS, Chris going in search of his REAL Amish parents or the automated newspaper delivery machine that nearly put this 30 year-old newspaper boy out of business! What a show--too bad it was canceled and too bad only selected episodes are available on DVD.UPDATE: The show has finally been released on DVD. You will most likely notice that season one was MUCH better. Season two seemed much more aimless and unfunny---they they were having trouble sustaining the concept.

daddison1909 The first season was brilliant. When they got rid of the original theme, along with the Sam Robards character, I stopped watching. I saw Brian Doyle Murray, and I cringed every second he was on the screen. He, along with the fact the writers ran out of good ideas, after season one, ruined the series. I do not know why Elliot, and the other writers, retooled the series after its first year. But that first season, STANDS! Anyway, that is what happens when you find out later that the network suits offer suggestions that materially change a perfectly good product. Maybe that is what happened here. I hope Elliot has another series in him.

jmuduke One of the funniest sitcom's ever! I don't know why this show didn't survive. I think the humor was ahead of it's time. My favorite episode was when the construction workers were doing some work in Chris' parent's kitchen, and they taught Chris how to yell out catcalls to women as they passed by. "Yeah, uh-huh. Pluck that banjo honey. Yeah, you have a very nice skirt on today." I hope Rhino comes out with more episodes on DVD.
