Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (2012–2017)

It's a show, pull the stick out of your butt and sit back and laugh.

[10/10 · 19 September 2012]

I love this show. All the people that want to knock TLC, need to pull the stick out of their butts and relax. TLC didn't write the script for this family; they are like that on their own and thats what makes America interested in watching. This show is a hit. Its something you don't see all of the time. When you do watch it. Sure they are redneckish and say and do things that shock ya but thats what makes it a hit so someone, a lot of someones are watching and continuing to tune in each week. I live in Mississippi where the men are men and the sheep are scared and I can tell you, this family isn't the only backwards family out there. I know people and work with people at my job who I wish had subtitles flashing under their chins just so I'd know what their saying.

One thing critics miss about this show is that they all seem to really love each other and they all seem to enjoy one another and want to be together. It looks like the mother did something right. Sure there are the Enquirer articles that say all sorts of gossip but I think its disproven when you see the kids interact with each other and their mom. I think they are close and that says something positive whether critics will admit it or not.

If people think the south isn't full of family's like this they need to think again. This family just gets to do it in front of a camera.

Pamela's Prayer (1998)

Good message but too much cheese for 21st century kids of today

[4/10 · 27 February 2008]

Corny yet sweet. I totally understand their message of no sex before marriage but I think the "no kissing" idea and that the first kiss is going to be a gift for your husband on your wedding night- I think thats a little too ridiculous and 99% of the kids of today are not going to follow that. They might even miss the whole message of the movie because they view that statement as absurd. It also has no biblical merit or passage that I know of where you cant kiss or date. It sounds like a man-made idea/rule.

I think when Pamela asked: "how do I meet my future husband if I cant date" -was a very realistic question. She also asked her dad to give her a passage from the bible that forbid dating. I don't think dad had any ammunition in that argument. He pretty much gave her a "because I'm your father" kind of an answer. She was right in her question and I think most kids watching that film would shake their head at the absurdity that you cant date your future spouse.

It struck me as odd that she couldn't go to a basketball game with her friends and that guy- as a group- but yet it was OK with her dad for her to leave with his employee and go to the wilderness to look at rock formations all by themselves. Think about it, she had more chance of getting laid out there in the wilderness, with just he and her there, than she did by going to a basketball game with her friends and a guy and a huge crowd..... That rock formation scene really contradicted the whole theme of the movie, no dating, no boys.

Remember when she asked if they could go to the ball game as friends and he shot her this look like "Uh No!!" you cant do that either. Yet she goes off alone with this guy to look at rocks.

I found it odd that dad always talked in this preacher voice. What dad talks like that all the time?

It seemed this movie had the right intentions but should have showed an alternative to being told no and then going upstairs where she is now sad and alone. I think if the writers would have inserted some alternative for her such as having friends over or getting together at Christian events it would have portrayed a better picture than a sad, bored, girl whose Christian beliefs have prevented her from having any type of fun and here she sits lonely on her bed sad and depressed. It paints the Chrisitan life as one of loneliness.

This movie looked like it was from the 1980's. The guys hair styles were dead-on to the hairstyles of 1986. Even the production credits looked "old timey" I wonder if this movie was made in the 80's but not released until 1998?

Lastly I think they could have left out the line that the dad said "Do you know what a Christian Film Library is"? I laughed out loud at the absurdity of that sentence. Its like asking "do you know how a boiled egg is cooked"?

I think its the corny, cheesy, lines like this that turn people away from watching more Christian films. Most people view Christian films as lame and lacking in the writing with no suspense or drama. I think a lot people are hungry for a Christian movie but yet are bored with the lameness and blandness of Christian movies like this. Nothing against the Christian message, I just mean Christian films could be more intelligently written to appeal to the youth that are growing up in the 21st century. This isn't Amish country 1930. We can pretty much understand what a Christian Film Library is there's no need to ask if we know what it means.

By the way I am a Christian so I am not trying to demean the message, just commenting on the way it was presented and how it was missing the mark in some ways.

Airline (2004–2005)

Why have they changed this show so much? It's dull now!

[21 February 2006]

This once was a fascinating and addictive show! Now, however, its become stupid and has gotten off the topic of "Airline" It seems now instead of 30 minutes of watching Airline related happenings we are forced to watch the passengers in their personal lives.

We see 2 ballroom dancers compete at their ballroom dancing competition. We see a lady who gave her son up for adoption and now is being reunited with him at her house somewhere in the deep south. We see flight attendants who fly to Nashvile to attend their company party and drink. (How boring is it to watch people you don't know- go to their company party?) We see one lady singer who will sing at a NBA basketball game so the camera follows her around till its her day to sing. How dull is that? They have strayed way off from what this show once was about. Its gotten dull. I record it and then fast forward thru about 12-15 minutes of scenes like this that are just non airline related and dull. I wish it was the show it used to be. It was addictive and fresh.

Dog the Bounty Hunter (2003–2012)

I have to agree this show is Garbage

[21 May 2005]

I tried to watch it but its just laughable. First have you ever seen regular people dressed like they do? It really does seem like the wardrobe came from a 1982 trailer trash movie of the week. I also don't understand the gathering to pray before every bust but then the later use of cuss words. Cuss words don't go with the religious message he seems to preach to all the prisoners. I also don't understand the wife thinking she is as bad as the bounty hunting crew. She's the secretary for lords sake and she talks crap to all the prisoners like she's tough. She doesn't even belong there in those shorts that were clearly too tight for her 10 years ago. Dog's constant own horn blowing admission that "he is the dog" and how bad he is tends to get old and turn you off. This whole show is laughable. I have to agree with the other poster.

Charmed (1998–2006)

Greatest show EVER

[10/10 · 21 May 2005]

I love this show! Its funny, its clear & easy to follow unlike other sci fi shows with deep, strange plot twists that are hard to grasp because they are so "out there" This show is sisters fighting evil for a change and not some heroic guy fighting evil. They're likable people whose lives you cant help but be interested in since they seem no different than us regular people, maybe thats whats so enticing about this show. You see them having regular lives like us- that is until demons pop up and must be fought and vanquished. The girls wreak of chemistry with one another and all seem to be extremely funny. Drama, comedy, romance, sci fi. Who could have thought you could find a show with all those dimensions. Charmed is the best show ever!!

Charmed (1998–2006)

GREATEST SHOW EVER

[10/10 · 24 November 2004]

I love this show! Where else can you get drama, comedy, and action all rolled into one? Watching the characters since 1998 has been fascinating! Watching Cole and Phoebe had me spellbound and longing for them to again re-unite. No it does not matter that he's a demon, he loves Phoebe and they need to be together. Julian played Cole brilliantly you never knew what he was up to and it seemed so real. Does he want to kill her or kiss her. You could actually see the expressions in his face change as his demon side would suddenly go soft when Phoebe said something sweet to him.

I liked the stories better from when Prue was on the show because the stories were just better, clearer, and were fresh. I do like Paige who took over for Prue and she is the comedy for this show. I just wish the story lines were as good as they use to be. Now it has gotten a little dark.

Even the inconsistencies that they have are fun to spot. For instance: remember when Phoebe, Prue and Piper all go back in time to where their mom is working at a restaurant and the year is 1978. Phoebe mentions that and also mentions that her mom is pregnant with her. We learn in other episodes that Prue is only 5 years older than Phoebe and 2 years older than Piper. This is all blown apart tho when Piper turns into a Windigo and at the end of the show Piper ends up at Prue's headstone and we see Prue was born in 1970 that would put her 8 years older than Phoebe instead of the 5 they said earlier.

Also that 60's show where they go back in time and see Grams. The year was 1967 or 1968 and grams looks 25 years old and is a hippie. How can a 25 year old woman have a daughter who will in 2 years be old enough to give birth to Prue? (1970) They didn't do too good on the math for that one.

I thought it was neat how they play Phoebe as the youngest when actually in real life she is the oldest and Piper is the youngest. Piper also seems to be the only one that hasn't aged since the show started. I wonder how in the reunion show they will explain that Leo has aged since after all he isn't suppose to age since he's a whitelighter. He's actually 4 years older than Piper but doesn't look it. Whew the man is fine!!

I don't know when it will end and hope it never does; but the last episode should have Cole and Phoebe back together and riding off into the sunset on a fireball. We also need to see Piper and Leo back together for good before I lose my mind. Poor Paige also needs to find love, she's a hoot. I didn't think I was going to like her but I do! Greatest show ever and I'm not in their target audience age group, I'm 33!
