490,584 | 33,913 | 577,394 | 8 | A Surprising Guest Appearance by one of America's Acting Treasures ! | Let's face it , getting Julie Harris to appear in an episode of Family Ties must have been a hoot .

490,850 | 33,913 | 91,763 | 8 | Not Stone's Best Film to Date ! | I don't think this is Stone's best film to date . In fact , I loved JFK and consider it to be a masterpiece .

489,740 | 33,913 | 83,415 | 8 | It should have been a huge success ! | For some strange reason , I always remembered this show . Maybe it was the outrageousness of it all or the fact that parodied Dallas . Anyway , I loved Dixie Carter , Ann Wedgeworth , Nedra Volz , and Delta Burke here more than I liked Dixie and Delta on Designing Women . I love parodies and this show should have been ... |

490,167 | 33,913 | 1,376,353 | 8 | The Girls Are Back in Town or the Hamptons ! | They should rename the show , Housewives of the Hamptons , because the first few episodes are mostly filmed in the Hamptons area where celebrities and the super-rich live and spend during the summer months .

489,901 | 33,913 | 83,377 | 8 | Great cast but average writing ! | The sitcom version was far different from the film version . I remember Sally Struthers coming into the role .

490,169 | 33,913 | 371,246 | 8 | Not as Bad As It Looked ! | Spanglish was a surprise because the commercials on television made it look so unappealing when it has a first rate cast and maybe a second rate script .

490,516 | 33,913 | 106,179 | 8 | X-way ! | One of the great things about the X-Files was that the show had two strong leading characters Scully and Mulder played by Gillian Anderson and David ( I forget his last name , sorry ) who should have got together but they wisely played it safe keeping them apart .

490,463 | 33,913 | 16,544 | 8 | Nothing like the 1939 classic version ! | I didn't read the book by L .

The cast stars Dorothy Dwan as Dorothy . The supporting cast has Oliver Hard from Laurel and... |
490,635 | 33,913 | 96,580 | 8 | It Wasn't Amazing but It was Good ! | This show had legs and an interesting plot .

490,497 | 33,913 | 90,270 | 8 | You're on a Vision Quest ! | Linda Fiorentino pretty much debuted as the love interest to Matthew Modine in this film , Vision Quest , which is an odd title for a film anyway . It was also entitled Crazy for You based on Madonna's song for the movie . Both Madonna and Fiorentino were still new at the time . The writing for this story is bit predic... |

490,369 | 33,913 | 476,916 | 8 | Suddenly Griffin ! | It's no wonder that Kathy Griffin has become a star since her days on the show , Suddenly Susan .

Now , Kathy is the star of her ow... |
489,859 | 33,913 | 204,824 | 8 | Preferred the Older One ! | I would have liked to have seen this version of George Orwell's classic , Animal Farm , to be animated rather than a live action film .

490,592 | 33,913 | 86,681 | 8 | It was better on network television ! | I hate to say this but I preferred the first family , the Pembrokes to the Powells , but beggars can't be choosers . I remember when the show first aired on CBS television . Again after a year , the show had a large following but there was not enough room in the prime time schedule for an average sitcom in the age of C... |

490,599 | 33,913 | 115,376 | 8 | I miss Suddenly Susan still ! | One of the reasons that Suddenly Susan works for me is the ensemble cast of characters including Brooke Shields . Even though she is the star of the show , she manages to evolve her supporting cast of characters like the unbelievable Vicki and Judd Nelson as her boss Jack Richmond . The show is well-grouped with this c... |
490,193 | 33,913 | 114,095 | 8 | An Insightful , often hysterical and silly at times movie ! | I remember Parker Posey on " As The World Turns " before she became the Queen of the Independent movies .

Take it to Broadway ! | Amy Adams is simply delightful as Giselle , the engaged woman of Prince Edward , in a land called Anadalusia , a land where it lives in Animation . The beginning is a bit slow and typical . Once Giselle is tricked and pushed into the wishing well by a witch who is really Edward's evil stepmother . The cast is first rat... |
489,840 | 33,913 | 88,598 | 8 | Sally , you are still missed ! ! ! | I miss Sally Jessy Raphael with her glasses and her mannerisms . She came before Oprah Winfrey's success in 1986 . I liked her and the show because she dealt with difficult teens and issues like Satanism , homosexuality , transgender , cannibalism , cults , etc . I was really upset that they canceled her show because s... |
490,637 | 33,913 | 86,704 | 8 | Lot Going for It ! | Okay , this was the E / R show long before the drama on another network . It was a comedy and drama and a very good comedy too . The cast was first rate with Elliott Gould as the head doctor and Mary McDonnell playing the new doctor . If the show lasted longer , they would have probably gotten together and got married ... |

490,639 | 33,913 | 102,106 | 8 | Bone Chilling True Story ! | The names were changed but it's based on a true story of the events in Skidmore , Missouri and the real villain was Ken McElroy who was very much like John Gotti without the class , style , and grace of his demeanor . He had fathered children with two women who lived together . No , not because he's a polygamist . In t... |
490,078 | 33,913 | 64,381 | 8 | Philip Roth at his best ! | I have been doing a lot of research on the author , Philip Roth , who wrote Goodbye , Columbus . Unfortunately , I am disappointed that it was set in the Bronx , New York and not Newark , New Jersey and that Westchester County replaced posh , upscale Livingston , New Jersey . What makes Roth special is that he really i... |

489,794 | 33,913 | 496,424 | 8 | Finally , Tina ' s Turn in the Spotlight ! | The show is not what I expected . I caught last night's episode with Tina Fey's character , Liz Lemon , set up by Alec Baldwin's character with Thomas . It turns out that Thomas is Gretchen Thomas ( a lesbian ) . Apparently , Liz gives the impression that she is gay to her new boss played by Baldwin . Anyway , she gave... |
489,847 | 33,913 | 88,640 | 8 | Hey hey what's happening now ? | I was addicted to the first series so when syndication came up with the brilliant idea of bringing back the original gang . I was thrilled . The show came back with the same gang including Raj , Dwayne , Rerun , Dee , and Shirley . It was a shame that Mabel King who played Mama Thomas never returned to the show . I fel... |
490,308 | 33,913 | 90,501 | 8 | Perfect Friday Night Fare ! | I have to admit that Balki and Larry were the male version of Laverne and Shirley . The show had a unique premise and it worked best with Bronson Pinchot as Balki who reminded me of Andy Kaufman on Taxi . Anyway , the show was never controversial or raised any eyebrows . It had it's moments including the relationship b... |
490,455 | 33,913 | 329,575 | 8 | Almost Perfect Film ! | I never thought that I would care about a movie about horse-racing . I saw this film by chance and I thought it was incredibly first rate and worthy of the Oscar nominations .

490,124 | 33,913 | 465,551 | 8 | Only Judi could have make me like Barbara ! | I have to say that I have mixed feelings about the wonderful Judi Dench playing such an unlikable character as Barbara . At first , we pity this spinster who has nobody to love or lover her back . Befriending her as a woman could be dangerous to your career but Judi shows how this older mature woman has become her wors... |
489,898 | 33,913 | 280,870 | 8 | Come Back , Linda , We Miss You ! | Linda Fiorentino really steals the screen in this film . She holds her own with Wesley Snipes . The film has political message about guns , gun control , and violence . Of course , it must be written from a leftist liberal point of view . Wesley Snipes ' character has a grudge against guns . Along the film , we learn h... |
489,731 | 33,913 | 111,945 | 8 | Highly Under-rated by Critics ! | I have watched the Drew Carey show for years both on network and on television in syndication . I have to admit that it still holds up . Who could forget the fights between Mimi Bobek and Drew Carey played wonderfully by Kathy Kinney who should have been nominated for Emmys rather than being short-sighted by the televi... |

490,456 | 33,913 | 465,509 | 8 | A Gem of an Independent Film ! | I first thought it was a Canadian film . I had no idea until I read the credits that it was filmed entirely on location in Austin , Texas . This film is quite a gem and treasure about the relationships between a father and son , Frank and Zak Nelson , after the suicide death of the family matriarch . Zak blames himself... |
490,292 | 33,913 | 133,413 | 8 | A Beautiful film | The Italian film , the Best Man , is very well acted and believable about the Bride who falls in love with her husband's brother who is older and an American success .

490,510 | 33,913 | 104,387 | 8 | Short , Sweet , and to the Point ! | I bought this because I'm doing Hamlet for my college class in teaching Shakespeare . It's only 30 minutes , brief , and to the point about the basics of Hamlet's story .

490,767 | 33,913 | 107,665 | 8 | Has a few problems but is worth watching ! | The story of Needful Things comes from Stephen King , who else could it have come from . A store opens up in a small Maine town ( where else ? ) called Needful Things . The funny thing is that it's owned and operated by Christopher Plummer who appeared in Stephen King's DOlores Claiborne . Anyway , he is the devil in d... |
490,333 | 33,913 | 320,053 | 8 | Save Life with Bonnie ! | Life with Bonnie is a show worth saving from cancellation . It has a great cast with the great Bonnie Hunt , talented David Alan Grier , hunky Mark Derwin , and the wonderful Marianne Meulleruex . The other supporting cast members are also worth mentioning especially Holly . The supporting cast is an excellent ensemble... |
490,219 | 33,913 | 618,732 | 8 | The Landlady ! ! | I have to say that this episode was probably a lot more groundbreaking because Kate and Allie are forced with a rent increase because their landlady rents the apartment to one family . First of all that apartment would be affordable only to millionaires now and maybe even then . Kate and Allie decide to say that they a... |
490,845 | 33,913 | 77,097 | 8 | A Great Show ! | WKRP in Cincinatti was a great show with a stellar cast including Gordon Jump who played the station's owner .

Frank Bonner who playe... |
