Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
rmkubat this show is better than 99% of what is on TV now. unbelievable that it was canceled so quickly. The 'good guys " 'on Fox was an excellent show too. Makes me think that there is more criteria for what stays on TV than just being a good show. I wonder how many other one season shows there are, maybe some cable channel could just run all those shows so we can all see what we have been missing.
james-laing For the life of me i can't understand why this show was cancelled, it was funny, charming and sweet but i guess thats not what people want from there comedy. I mean i do watch much darker comedy's but i also watch light-hearted ones and this did just about everything right: the gags came in thick and fast and Tim Curry was perfect as a funny man. When i first heard of this how watching an interview with Tim Curry i thought that it was perfect for him to be in a sitcom. Then i immediately wanted to watch but found that not one website had a episode i almost gave up until i found them, and it was a good sitcom, the first four minutes are really to catch the viewers attention and then you choose whether to watch the rest of it and the first four minutes are brilliant, they really set up the main character and his dry wit. This is probably the only time i have every laughed at Steve Carell, he's not funny in the Office. Finally even though i'm watching this in 2011 and the audience based sitcoms are dated this is a very good one that should have had 10 seasons a movie deal and its own brand of toilet paper. 10/10
TheLittleSongbird Some of the episodes started off a tad slow, and one or two of the guest stars needed improvement. If this show(consisting of only 12 episodes) had lasted longer, these improvements could've happened. This show is nowhere near as bad as the IMDb rating suggests, it is actually witty, warm and most importantly funny! The scripting is often hilarious, and this was made possible by the brilliant performances from Tim Curry and Annie Potts, who share a great chemistry. Luke Tarsitano is quite appealing as Daniel, not irritating really, and Marla Sokoloff is good as Gwen. Out of the supporting turns, Liz Torres and Steve Carell come off best as Rose and Yorgo. Two of my favourite moments were Tim and Annie singing "I'm Bonnie, I'm Clyde" and John Ritter in drag, all but to name a few. Overall, a short-lived and underrated show, if given the chance I think you will like it! 8/10 Bethany Cox
Op_Prime Over the Top was pretty funny, but it is very hard to judge since only four episodes ever aired. The episodes I saw were funny, with Tim Curry really shining. The series had an interesting premise. It's a shame this show was so short lived.
