Saved by the Bell (1989)
Great show but has it flaws!
Well, after reading some comments on this board, i felt the urge to leave a comment.
Some comments i agree with, some comments i disagree with, and some comments have opened my mind. However, this is possibly from my point of view the greatest teen sitcom that has ever aired even though i wasn't old enough to remember the series when it first came to TV Screens.
In addition, yeah the set, the plot, the schemes are so unrealistic but people just nitpick as someone suggested in one comment. You should have just watched it for what it is and enjoyed it. At the end of the day though i know people will always nitpick, its the way it is, it life.
Nevertheless, the characters fitted their roles perfectly. Kelly, wow, she was HOT, and whoever said she was ugly needs to sort their head out, Zack was a legend, reminded me of what i was like in my early years of senior school, a pain in the ass, always getting called to my year heads office, and just being a nuisance wherever i went. Slater, i didn't like him at the start but as his character changed, my opinion changed. Jessie just got on my nerves, and still does to this day when i watch it. Lisa, she was gorgeous, and i loved her character. Screech, did annoy the hell out of me sometimes when i watched it but still that boy was a legend too and had me in stitches. Well what can you say about Mr Belding? No one in their right mind would be friends with their principal/head teacher and vice versa. And the fact in the episode 'breaking up is hard to undo' he ends up in Zacks bedroom, how unrealistic. In saying this, he was a legend. There was one character, the girl from the 'Fake I'd's' episode should have been in it more than just a single episode, only because she was HOT. Very shallow of me, i know but never mind.
As for some of the episodes, i thought they were poor when Jessie and Kelly decided to leave for whatever reason and Tori replaced them.
Furthermore when i was 13/14 the best episodes they didn't show enough when re-runs were shown on Nick in the early 00's, like 'Jessie's Song', 'Fake I'd's', 'Palm Springs Weekend', and 'Rockumentary' just spring to mind.
And to be honest, people who have criticised this show in abundance, what do you think of the crap that's on nowadays? Saved by the Bell is much better television.
Finally, the episodes never seemed pointless, because there was often meaning behind them.
8/10.
Home Improvement (1991)
Great comedy show
Like 8 simples rules, Home improvement is the only reason why i watch the ABC channel.
First time i saw home improvement, when i used to see the adverts for it on the Disney channel, i thought this was just a show solely about tools because thats all they showed. But for some strange reason, like i have with a lot of programmes, i just gave it a shot and found out there's more to it than that. Its a entertaining, and it makes me laugh out loud now and again. Also, it really goes through life situations, and how parents have to cope with what it throws at them.
Tim and his side kick Al, have so much chemistry on screen, that they compliment each other very well. Wilson's character is just legendary, ha ha, makes me laugh.
Great comedy, and definitely worth watching.
8 Simple Rules... for Dating My Teenage Daughter (2002)
One of the best comedies on the TV at the moment
I'll keep it short and brief, the people who wrote the story lines for this show are genius, the actors are just perfect for the roles they play (CJ's character is legendary) and they have so much chemistry on screen which makes it what it is, a very successful comedy.
When i saw first saw the new episodes which is probably going back just over 6/7 months, i wondered what had happened to Paul. I was gutted to find out that he had died when i browsed Google. He was so funny and played his character to perfection, an over-protective dad, who likes to keep his daughters out of the limelight and away from boys.
The comedy, i think, has gone from strength to strength, even without Paul in it.
Plus, i think most people would enjoy this watching it.
