Amazing Stories: Hell Toupee (1986)
One of the most obscure TV references I personally know
Firstly, I have to give props to quentintarantado for the review & shared appreciation for this episode of "Amazing Stories."
This takes me back to High School..... and a decade & 1/2 later, one of my best friends & I STILL recite a few memorable lines from it.
Goofy? Yes. Low-Budget? Absolutely. Chock full of unknown actors? Yep! Worth blowing 22 some-odd minutes of my youthful life watching it when it aired? HECK YEAH!!!
Such a great pun in the title; Which was also blended into the plot itself with the same cerebral genius & off the wall comedy. I just wish I could find this one online to watch again.
Wonderfalls (2004)
The stations aren't always right
So Fox cancelled it's coolest show, "Wonderfalls" after 4 episodes. it figures. The TV networks just don't know what's good & what's crap. How many "reality" shows do we really need anyway?
& Why get rid of a great show like Wonderfalls, to put on something like "who wants to marry my gardener"?
HOWEVER.... I just read that Wonderfalls will probably be available on DVD just before Christmas this year. (2004)
& there are TONS of people waiting for this set. Too bad Fox didn't have the smarts to keep it on the air.
I hope the next reality show they air has something to do with "Who wants to fire Fox's manager!?"
Charmed (1998)
Lucky Charmed
The show has been on the air for 5 seasons, & just started it's 6th. I however JUST started watching "Charmed", THIS season.
I've been missing out on a great show. Luckily for me, I can see all kinds of re-runs in the afternoons & mornings. & they're all new to me. :o)
If you enjoy the fantasy of having magical powers, this show is right up your alley!!
Shock 'Em Dead (1991)
So, You wanna be a Rock Star???
I have to say, I LOVED Shock em Dead!! The acting was I expected it to be... Which was poor, but this movie has so many one liners, & is soooo much fun.
You can't help but root for poor Martin, the nerd... & to see him transform & completely become the ULTIMATE rock star is the best. I love the Audition scene after he becomes "Angel". His cockiness to ol' Johnny Crack is well deserved.
This is truly a B movie, but it reigns supreme as one of my favs!!!
It's much more fun to watch if you're in a band of your own. & especially great to watch WITH your band, at 3:00AM, on the road in a motel room, & drunk!!!!!!!!!
