Charles's TV Reviews

I really like this show. Though they show a bit too much of the bickering, I really find this series quite motivating. I'm not overweight, but it really got me thinking about living a slightly more healthy lifestyle for sure. I dropped all the fast foods, joined the gym, and got myself a personal trainer. And I'm in the best shape of my life. This show got me to do it.

I was never a fan of Anne Heche, but she's really not that bad in 'Men In Trees'. In fact, she's slightly likable. I read about this show, then added it to my TiVo queue, and it's been there ever since.

Some of the storylines are dodgy and far-fetched, but it's still enjoyable to watch. I'm going to stick with it, though they're getting a bit toooooo girly. Yeah yeah, it's a chick show to begin with, but let's keep it realistic and not fully of fantasy please.

This is undoubtedly, in my mind at least, the best sitcom ever. You have the probably the strongest cast in television, the best writing week in and week out, and the best premise: a show about nothing. Tell me how can you beat that?

Say what you will about The Don, but he's fabulous and The Apprentice is a good show. In recent seasons, though, they've been focusing too much on of the candidates' drama as opposed to the actual tasks and accomplishments. That's what I'm most interested in...the business.

This is definitely a high-point for Ron Livingston...well, next to Office Space. This show is really well put together. Some of the dialog is dodgy, and some times the storylines are predictable, but overall it's a sold show. Ron's side-kick (his girlfriend and FBI counterpart) is also really good; they have good chemistry. Let's hope FOX isn't stupid and will keep this show on air for at least a couple of seasons.

OK, this is a total guilty pleasure TV show. It's amazing what they get away with on regular cable TV. The music is awesome, the art direction is impeccable, the storylines are a bit outrageous but good enough to keep me engaged. And they have special celebrity guests almost weekly. This show comes highly recommended.

SNL has had its moments of brilliance (Chris Farley's Chipindales dancing, "Matt Foley: Motivational Speaker", Wayne's World) and many many moments of awfulness.
But I still TiVo it every saturday in hopes of reliving something genius, like Eddie Murphy's "Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood".

This season of American Idol is beyond over-rated. Where's the Clay Aikens, where's the Kelly Clarksons, where's the vocals, where's the performances? They're all kinda subpar in my opinion. Doolittle may have a decent voice, but none of them are real performers!

Rumors have been circulating that The OC may be getting canceled. I hope it doesn't.

This season, The OC contnues on without Mischa Barton's character Marrissa who was killed off last season in a car wreck. To me, it was a good kill of as her character was too dramatic with too many issues. Basically, there was no where else to go with her.

The other characters were more interesting anyways: Seth, everyone's favorite indie kid. Summer, the hot girl. And the awesome parents: Kirstin and Sandy. Love em.

Though I don't have much knowledge of TV shows from the 70s, what I do know is Three's Company is one of the best! I'm even tempted to say it's one of the top 5 best shows ever.

The premise was simple: 2 girls and a guy in a Santa Monica apartment, all struggling to make a living. The landlord didn't approve of unmarried men and women living together, so the guy ("Jack Tripper" John Ritter) posed as a gay man. Apparently being gay was OK.

Who could forget the characters: Jack, Janet, and Chrissy. Though the main drawer of the show was Jack, you can't forget the classic sidekicks: Mr. & Mrs. Roper, Mr. Furley, Larry Dallas, and later in the series nympho Launa.
