House of Payne: R.I.P-Rest in Payne (2012)
Over The Top and Through The Roof
Although I've seen this episode about three times, I just realize how over-the-top it is. I can't believe Janine kept blood on her hands the whole time while she was sitting in the waiting room. They are plenty bathrooms in the hospital for her to wash off Calvin's blood off her hands. It bothered me that Ella wouldn't allow the doctor to go perform surgery on her son. She kept stopping him even though he kept telling her he needs to do surgery. The doctor was no better. He had absolutely no bedside manners. And how come Miranda came to the hospital with an attitude about being called there? Isn't it obvious someone is hurt? Most normal people would be freaking out on their way to the hospital when someone urges them to meet them there. I appreciate Tyler Perry for bringing people of color to light. I just wish he wasn't so extreme in their behaviors.
Cold Case: 8 Years (2006)
Beautiful choice of music
I'm not going talk about the summary of this episode because you can read it for yourself and you could read over the other reviews. I would like to comment on the music. The music was an excellent choice. I thought it was creative on how they were able to use only Bruce Springsteen songs. I believe the other reviewers are stuck on things being right and exact. The music was a time piece and era. . It wasn't supposed to reflect that specific year. Also, the music went along the storyline, so it should be common sense that the music didn't go directly with the timeline of the episode. I like how they intertwine the characters.
Cold Case: Andy in C Minor (2008)
Wanting more shouldn't be a crime.
I enjoyed this episode. I appreciate the fact that deaf actors were used. I didn't like the fact that Andy's parents were talking about non-deaf people as if all were evil or against the hearing impaired community. It bothered me because we learned that Andy was once part of the hearing community but became deaf due to a childhood illness. Had Andy not contracted that illness he would have never lost his hearing. I wonder two things 1. Did his parents have issues with the hearing community before Andy became deaf? And 2. How would they feel about their son if he never lost his hearing? Would they still feel the two worlds couldn't coexist with one another? Mom was selfish, dad understood his yearning.
Tales: Survival of the Fittest (2022)
Ripped Off
I enjoyed the actors , good cast and acting. I gave it 6 stars because the story line is ripped from Surviving the Game. (1994) starring Ice T. I understand that coming up with new material is hard. I still enjoyed the episode I just didn't appreciate already knowing the plot before it hit started. I must say when Pratt was running through the forest all I could think was " take that WHITE shirt off. You're an easy target". I guess when the creator borrows his name from a known gangster I can only imagine what else is borrowed. Sampling is good to a point. It introduced previous talent with new talent but it can overshadow the new talent.
Living Single: Raw Talent (1995)
Naughty by Khadijah
If Khadijah and Maxine have been friends since college how come Maxine didn't know Khadijah is friends with Vinny from naughty by nature since childhood? You would think it would've came up by now. They have been a few times where Khadijah needed a storyline for her cover. One was at the beginning of the series when it first started. Another time she needed a cover story is when my Maya Angelou had to cancel out because of Sinclair's mistake.
Good episode. Til this day I always imagine what Treach said to Maxine for her to respond that he was too freaky for her.
It would have been nice to have Naughty by Nature perform.
The Waltons: The Changeling (1978)
The Waltons. More like The Wal"nuts"
This is my first time watching a full episode of the Waltons. I only lknow about John boy. I can't believe this script was approved. If anxiety creates poltergeist, than as a female it will never go away.
How could they possibly believe this storyline fits the context of this show. For a minute I thought I was watching Twilight Zone or The Alfred Hitchcock Show. I think they could have dealt with Elizabeth's transition into "womanhood" with a more plausible plot like her liking a boy, getting her menstrual cycle, or being teased by friends for her childish ways.
The slumber party is the best part. It reminded me of a cranked up version of the Brady Bunch. Elizabeth had it in her all the time to make it go away. Click your heels three times and say "There's no age like 13".
Save the Last Dance 2 (2006)
Huh, what?!?
I'm started movie a little late. Didn't realize it was a continuation from the first one. It would have been nice
1. Movie was based on a new character
2. Chenille came to visit
3. To see Colombus Short dance.
I can't believe Sarah gave her her dream so easily after she works a hard to get to that point. I don't like the fact that she's always easily influenced by some man. Also after all with her and Derek went through in the first one I find it strange that they just woke up so easily. And if being in an interracial relationship was hard why does she jump into another interracial relationship So quickly. Part of her audition to Julliard was a hip-hop number so why isn't she doing that type of dance class while attending school there.
The Facts of Life: Dope (1980)
So long Sandra Dee!
I'm glad this was Sue Ann's last time as a main character. Her overacting was unbearable; bopping her her head and ending it with a tilt every time she talked. She's pretty but her character sucked. Her character was flat. In this episode the writers tried to give her some color and depth but she doesn't pull it off. Just like she didn't pull it off when she was on the extreme diet. It was cool when they brought her in for a few episode. It was crazy to see how this episodes ended and how Jo replaced Sue Ann with the same image of the girls hanging around the table in the bedroom.
I do miss Molly's character. Her look on life is funny, even in today's time.
Sixteen Candles (1984)
Sign of the Times:
Hen Samantha (Molly Ringwald) she talks about her dream man at the beginning of the movie she mentions the a nice looking man in a Trans Am. Her friend says a pink trans am. When Samantha responds black, her friend is appalled because she thinks she means a Black guy. She corrects her quickly, black Trans Am, pink guy. If this was about gay people cancel culture we would have that removed or dubbed I've. I guess it's OK to disrespect Black people and fat people. If this film was made today. She would probably have a Nkack male interest or Samantha may be apart of the LGBTQ+ community which is ALL GOOD. I still like the movie. I guess it was the signs of the time as well as the geographic area.
The Twilight Zone: The Fugitive (1962)
Please seek Counseling: By the Way!
I've watched this episode since I was a child and not once did I ever think been the Ben character was perverted. I can't believe that some of the viewers mine will go there. Another crusade for the Cancel Culture, I guess
More importantly, does anyone know the name of the young man in the picture at the end of the episode? Rod Sterling? The man who plays Ben? Can anyone help?
Living Single: A Raze in Harlem (1996)
Moment
Each time I watch this episode I wonder why Kyle didn't take the microphone or something as a momentous. He spent so much time trying to save it I would think he would want something to remember it by.
Power Book II: Ghost: Love and War (2022)
Am I the only not okay with the birthdate switch-a-too?
I can't get over Zeke's four year difference with his birth certificate. When did the age switch happen? When he was 10 did he pass for six? Or was he 5 playing a one year old? They could have explained Zeke's presence by stating Monet had him while her her husband was in jail briefly and the kids were at their grandmas and never saw their momma pregnant. Idk. But anything than what they did. Good episode. Can't wait to see what's next? MJB needs to loosen up her acting skills. She's rigid.
Queens (2021)
Watchable but needs work
Nadine Velasquez rapping needs serious help. I think mrbob-5703 is harsh calling them old fat bags. I think they all look gorgeous. I agree too much makeup (at times). I'm still watching. Sometimes new shows have rough spots but they get smoothed.
JAG: We the People (1997)
JAGnet
The intro to the show is awful. It reminds me of the television shows from the 60's and 70's. I'm glad I started watching the show from the middle of the series. If I started with season two the intro would have turned me off. I don't want to give a rating but if I did I would give the intro 1 star and 10 stars for the show.
JAG: Take It Like a Man (2004)
Really?
I disagree with Se-watch about Mac being with Webb. Mac has her issues with cockiness as well. She goes to any man that shows her attention. She only showed interest in Webb to make Harm jealous just like when she was with Brumby. And when she doesn't get her way she is angry and standoffish. She would get with Bud if he wasn't married. Harm has his issues but he admits to them.
JAG: A Girl's Best Friend (2004)
What the Hell
I'm new to watching the series. I'm so upset with Meredith as well. Cat believe she did the admiral that way. Such a conniving heifer. I didn't like her anyway. Too whimsical. I'll marry you admiral.
Sweet Life: Los Angeles: Sweet Life (2021)
NAAHHHH!
I couldn't get pass the first 7 to 8 minutes. I found the yoga scene interesting. I think the camera man had an interest of his own. Purpose of the show- Not my style. I'll save it for the "Living my best life" folks.
I like Issa Rae's other projects (and I know it's not just her on this. That's Tyler Perry).
What's Happening!!: Disco Dollar Disaster (1978)
Disco Inferno
I'm still wondering how Dee got into a club? Dwayne is still in high school as well but he could pass for 18. What's up with Black Bruce Lee's hair?
Love this episode. Disco Danny Domino's classic line "...so they can love me in the flesh".
JAG: Valor (2001)
Just My Luck
I'm a new JAGger. I don't like Mic and Mac together (nor do I like Harm and Renee) so I cringed when they announced their wedding date to be May 26, 2001 which is the date I got married. I not saying Mac and Harm should be together but their respective partners gets a thumb down. Renee is the worse. I'm just waiting for the break up.
Good episode.
In the Heat of the Night: Even Nice People (1993)
Slow reaction
This is about this episode, and others as well. How come when there is an emergency the police react slow.? They don't seem to run to call for help. There's never an urgency, especially when Parker is on the radio (because he's too busy eating). I find it humorous. Continue watching/rewatching the show and you see what I see.
Boyz II Men: On Bended Knee (1994)
Black is Beautiful
A series of reading lead me here. I'm love the fact that some of these women were 12 years older than their love interest. Gorgeous women inside and out.
A Different World: Homey, Don't Ya Know Me? (1993)
All Eyez on Tupac
Great episode for the new crew. Some behaviors are over the top. I don't understand why Lena didn't check her friends and their inappropriate behavior when they first came.
Little House on the Prairie: The Voice of Tinker Jones (1974)
Laura Rules
Laura is the Boss. She tells Mary "We're going stay and see it" when Mary wants to leave because " it is getting awful late." Who's the big sister?
How did Tinker get that bell up there by himself. He's amazing. I love his spirit.
The Patrick Star Show (2021)
What the Sam Hill is this Crap?!?!?
Dumbest cartoon ever written. Plot? Purpose? Reason? This is a disgrace to the legacy of Sponge Bob. I would NEVER let my child watch this junk. At the risk of sounding like Judge Mathis, I want to ask are the creators and writers on crack?? Good grief, Charlie Brown! And that's a negative one star.
The Facts of Life: Starstruck (1982)
Missing Scene???
Excellent episode. However, per jay- 976, it is mentioned that Tootie asked about his dog. I've seen this episode many times and I never heard those lines. Maybe it's in an uncut version. I would like to see that version.
