The show had decent momentum throughout the first season and during the beginning of the 2nd season when Selma Blair was still on the show but seriously lost it's way for a while after she left the show.

Yes, it's yet another show where Charlie Sheen's character is a serial womanizer and most of the other characters around him constantly make questionable choices. If you saw Two and a Half Men you know what to expect here.

Charlie's ex-wife and his daughter basically disappear part of the way through the 2nd season which was a shame. Having them around was part of what helped to tone down Charlie a little and helped give his character some much needed grounding. Once Selma Blair left the show Charlie Goodson was basically replaced by an unhinged Charlie Harper throughout the rest of the series.

If this show had been on a conventional network it probably wouldn't have made it to 50 episodes. Especially considering Charlie Sheen's off-screen antics with regards to Selma Blair. It's worth watching once now if you're a big fan of Charlie Sheen or anyone else on the show or if you need something for background noise.

Karen Gillan's birthday was on Nov 28 and I decided to check this show out. It's not available on any of the streaming services and never received a physical media release (more on that later) so I in order to watch it I had to acquire it via "other" means.

It's a pretty decent show. Unfortunately the name turned a LOT of potential viewers off back in 2014. I'm sure when the show was initially conceived, cast & a pilot was done using the word Selfie sounded like a home run. However, over the course of 2013 & 2014 that word went from being a trendy to a liability. Does anyone remember the song #SELFIE by the Chainsmokers that was popular for a few weeks in the 1st half of 2014? I guessing no since most people purposely forgot about it like a bad hangover. Even before the show premiered it had one big strike against it due to the name.

I'm sure ABC cancelled it so quickly after they did a massive amount of promotion for show, gave it the prime Tuesday evening time slot, and had the 1st episode debut to a little over 5 million viewers which is not great. The 2nd week it dropped by almost 40% and never got any better. There were other shows ABC cancelled that season that averaged more than 5 million viewers per episode so this one never had a chance being significantly less than that on average.

That's a shame because the show itself is enjoyable. The principal actors were mostly well cast. The show was relatively funny but also had a fair amount of heart, especially later on.

Had this show launched with a different name or in the fall of 2013 (when the term selfie wasn't as overused) it might have had a chance to succeed.

I mentioned earlier that watching the show now is very difficult to do. It will probably NEVER see an official release due to one big reason. Licensed music. Almost every episode has one or more licensed songs in it. Anyone who wanted to release it after it's initial TV run would either have to remove all of the licensed music or pay significant royalties. Since the show was cancelled so quickly that means it will probably be lost forever except to those who obtain it via less than traditional means.

While I understand Julia Butters supposed decision to seek out other opportunities, I feel it would have been best to just remove her character entirely from the show. Giselle Eisenberg gives it her best but she is just not Anna-Kat. Completely changes the dynamic of the show for the worse which is a real shame. I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up sealing the fate of the show this season. Extremely disappointed.

I grew up watching the original Mary Poppins along with other Disney classics. I can still remember watching them on VHS when they came in the big plastic boxes. That being said the original Mary Poppins is a complete classic. This one wants to be but misses the mark. It's still a fun, good natured affair which is fairly rare in these modern times. I feel that most of the complaints about the movie being too long are from people who used to instant gratification in the media they consume. They expect everything to move at a breakneck pace in order to keep their interest. Not every movie needs to be a maximum of 90 minutes long. The music is good and well orchestrated. The plot is predictable but that was inevitable considering we all know how the original played out. Why would this one be any different? The casting choices were on point. I especially loved to see Dick Van Dyke in his small role. Watching this film at home my 6 year old was interested for about 30 minutes but hardly anything (animated or not) keeps him interested for more than 30-45 minutes and a whole lot of movies he finds boring in 15 minutes or less! The original movie was like catching lightning in a bottle. It's very hard to make that happen twice! However, I really enjoyed this film despite what many other people see as flaws. We need more positive, feel good movies so don't trash the ones that try to bring it.

This show just started showing on The CW in the US. It's basically a poor rip off of The Guild with 10% of the dialogue bleeped out. A show like this would have been somewhat fresh a decade ago but MMOs have been around for over 2 decades. This is just a bunch of people addicted to a game acting horribly to each other and everyone around them. That's not funny, it's sad!

Is this a movie that everyone needs to go out and see? No. Is it one that I'm probably going to remember for years to come? No Did I enjoy watching it? Yes It's a film that I only checked out on Netflix because I like many of the principal actors involved. Sure it doesn't amount to much in the end and it's not terribly funny but I thought it was decent. Chances are stuff like what happened in the film did actually happen hundreds of years ago! If anything it makes me want to see Brie, Plaza and Micucci do a proper comedy together! Check it out if you want something off the wall and aren't expecting much.

This entire series is a time capsule for me to the late 00's and early 10's. I was a huge MMO player throughout the series original run (07-13.) Plus I was already a huge Felicia Day fan ever since she was in season 7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So this series was the perfect storm for me. I still end up re-watching it about once a year and I still thoroughly enjoy the heck out of it each time! Highly recommended if you have ever played a MMO or any other online game with about any sort of guild, clan or group based voice chat system that's regularly used.

Sure, this is far from a perfect movie but I still enjoyed the heck out of it. I thought the leads had good chemistry together. It just felt fun to me and lighthearted which is the tone I think the director was going for. This is one of those movies that was made more out of a passion project or just for the heck of it and not meant to be a blockbuster. I can respect that. Not every movie needs to be done in order to make a lot of money or win awards! Is this a movie for serious action or rom-com fans? Probably not. But if you're a fan of mash ups and don't mind the goofiness then you will probably enjoy this movie. :)

I'll admit this show is not everyone's cup of tea. However, my family and I really enjoyed this show while it was on. It was good quality entertainment for the whole family! I'm glad the show was able to spend the last season wrapping up a lot of the plot lines and was able to give fans of the show a proper ending.

While I'm eager for another show like this to end up on TV I'm doubtful we will ever see something like this show again which is a shame.

The show was pretty good up until near the end of season 4. Then the show got way too political. Plus Amy as the store manager is awful! It's not suprise that America Fererra is leaving the show at the end of season 5. The show went pretty good to completely unwatchable fast!

Some people hate this episode and I can understand why. However, I absolutely loved it! The melodrama, the pure cheese and lousy production values. The original GLOW show was like this and a LOT of shows in the 80's were like this. Brings me back to my childhood when I watched the original show!

Who greenlit this garbage?!

The show would almost be watchable if it wasn't for Dave's parents (Fran Dresher & her on-screen husband) repeatedly being complete irresponsible morons! You could easily replace most of their dialogue with "Look at this foolish thing I'm doing (or have done) and I don't care!" The premise of the show could work if you cared for or felt sorry for the parents. But they're unredeemably awful!

The rest of the characters fall into lazy sitcom tropes. Dave's sister for example. The younger sibling that doesn't have things completely together, blames the parents for her issues but is sometimes the voice of reason.

I really wanted to like this show. It mostly made me frustrated and angry while watching it. I see a quick cancellation in its future!

This show had lots of potential, but the forced overbearing laugh track, one dimensional characters and the silly premise were too much to overcome.

The only similarity to Cheers is both shows take place in a bar. Beyond that they have almost nothing in common. Cheers is still remembered today. This show will be forgotten in a couple of months.

I stumbled across this show while browsing Netflix and without knowing anything about it thought I'd give it a shot. Boy was I glad I did!!! I watched all 8 episodes of season 1 in a couple of days!

I'm glad a show like this exists. The topic of sex in the teenage years often times either gets watered down into something resembling an after school special or is presented in only a raunchy & vulgar way. I think the both the writers and the actors have done a great job of mostly avoiding these pitfalls or at the very least explained through the show why something happened the way it did (trying to avoid spoilers!)

Keep an open mind, check it out and unless you're some sort of prude I think you'll enjoy it!

Most of season 4 of the show is a bit rough. Unfunny politics + relying on pop culture references & cliches to carry the entire show and almost all dialogue. This episode in particular is 100% skippable. Almost as if the writers had a competition to write the worst, most groan worthy 30 some minutes of filler they could.

This movie is meant for a very niche audience. It was not created to make money or win awards. However, there is a lot of love put into this movie full of awful people mostly being awful to each other. I adored the minimalist electronic soundtrack. The over the top performances. The 70's/early 80's inspired retro decor, costumes, makeup and hair. Just everything with the style of the movie. It's almost like taking a step back in time for me.

Most people will not get this movie, but for those that do it's a real treat IMO.

I really wanted to like this show. I really like the character Esther plays on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend but here she is completely unlikable. Same for the other lead. I was not surprised to see Freeform cancel the show after season 2. Hopefully the person who decided to renew the show for a season 2 before season 1 even aired got the axe!

After watching two episodes I'm still on the fence. On the one hand I really want to like this show. It has some potential; back stories to explore, characters to develop and so on.

However, the situations and "tech" that's presented is completely preposterous.

I realize the show is supposed to be entertainment first and accuracy is pretty far down on the list but come on!

This coming from a person that's been in the IT business for 16 years doing work for the government, the US Army as well as multiple corporations.

I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't last a season unless it gets more believable.
