Autumnal and a bit sad
16 March 2024
What happened to Rick and A J Simon after the TV series was boarded up? Well, they got older, like the rest of us, but seem to have lost their collective sense of humor.

Rick's still a bit if a rogue. A J tried to go up in the world. We get glimpses of old friends like Janet and Downtown Brown.

I'm glad "Town" is back. The original show got better with the inclusion of Tim Reid in the cast and his were its best years. The show folded the year after he left, and rightfully so.

They've moved their operations up the left coast from San Diego to Seattle.

On the down side, their mother is screechy and abrasive and she'd have had a happier life in this movie if she'd been a little more conciliatory.

The original S & S music is gone, probably due to rights issues. The new music is a downer but fits an autumnal show.

If you enjoyed the wackiness of the original there's some up front but it's subdued through the rest of the movie. The Simon's aren't kids anymore. I've retained my youthful wackiness but most of my old friends have lost theirs, so that's par for the course.

Oh, there's also a cameo by an almost unrecognizable Delta Burke that's almost the best scene.
