ROBOCOP - THE SERIES (1994)

pleasantly surprised... done in a kind of 'fun bad movie' style. tongue in cheek satire (bit like the original) and also occasional fake commercials / news stories which are amusing. Robocop himself doesn't get much screen time. - minor criticism, the main villains are a little too cartoon esque compared to all the other characters. no biggie.

Pilot episode - baddies are trying to hook the city up to a central AI system called 'Neural Brain'... sound familiar?!

Power Rangers. I've box sets of the first 18 seasons, and since I'm home all the time, I decided to binge them all.

The rest I'll have to stream on YouTube.

about to re-evaluate season 5 of TJ HOOKER (as you do...).

boldly going where I went before a couple of years ago. from memory seasons 1 and 2 were pretty fun going. season 3 and 4 a bit more 'serious'...  but I really can't remember anything about season 5 except that I think Romano had left the show.

ok, Episode 1... directed by William Shatner.

intro... Hooker and his ex-wife and 2 kids go to a funfair. fire breaks out in one of the funhouse things. Hooker bounds in, waves a fire extingisher about, literally puts out someone who is consumed in flames (!) who then thanks Hooker for saving their life before limping away.... then it's straight back to Hooker & Co. enjoying the funfair! (with Hooker complaining that he "smells of smoke") :teddyr:

Sex and the city. I always thought it was a silly soap opera for bored housewives or fashionistas  :bouncegiggle:  Recently, a friend recommended this series to me, and I was a bit surprised,the dialogues are very clever, and at times, it's really funny.

First pilot of The Munsters, "My Fair Munster".
The future Lily is named Phoebe, and she and Eddie are played by different actors. Herman's quite a bigot towards his niece, but thankfully Grandpa's mostly the same. Also, filmed in color so everybody's light blue save for Marilyn.

Are the first and second parts much better than the third one? :smile: A few months ago, I went with my boyfriend to see the third part (I hadn't seen the previous ones), and I was disappointed  :lookingup:  But the idea itself seems great, so that's why I'm asking, is there a big difference?

I've been watching old In the Heat of the Night episodes.  The issues a lot of the episodes raised are still relevant even today.  Plus, it's enjoyable to see all the older tech - vehicles, computers, and so on.  Some of the vehicles on the show are the same models as ones my family used to drive.  I even drove Taurses similar to the ones seen on the show.  Some of the older vehicles would be considered legitimate classics today.

Not sure I'd want to live in Sparta though.  I'm not sure how realistic it is compared to real Mississippi small towns.  (I know the state has the highest murder rate in the country).  But it seems like every other week they're dealing with murder or other violent crimes (like rape, armed robbery, drug running).
God of making the characteristic which becomes dirty sends the hurricane.

Finished "Blue Eye Samurai" and now must wait years until the next season.

Started "Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance," and at least I know there's only one season! Production design is amazing. I'm not sure about the writing. Female gelflings have wings, but they don't use them in obvious situations. The fact that gelflings can share their exact memories makes it impossible to lie, which creates more plot problems than it solves. Still it's so beautiful to look at the story almost doesn't matter.

At Derf's suggestion for a short series to watch in its entirety while I have a free trial of Shudder, I started "Stan Against Evil." Promising start, I assume it will get even better. It's created by Dana Gould, who always makes me laugh.

made my 3rd or 4th genuine attempt to watch TWIN PEAKS, and only made it to about episode 3... think the furthest I ever got in previous goes was ep. 6 or 7

WILD AT HEART and MULHOLLAND DRIVE would probably make my top 30 movies of all time, but can't ever seem to gel with TP... I think it might be the winebar jazz muzak that constantly plays in the background of just about every scene. makes the whole thing feel a bit too arch. bit too quirky. I don't know. I tried.  Even though I bailed early, the whole thing just had a sense of grinding its heels instead of going anywhere.
