Memorable Movies and TV: F - MMovies & TV shows that are cool, strange, or just fun to watch
Family Guy (Cartoon TV Series) This show makes me laugh at least a few times an episode. familyguy.com - IMDb - EpGuides Search for the DVD at Amazon.com 
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) Funny stuff between the generic sex junk. Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Field of Dreams (1989) Interesting movie even if you're like me and dislike sports of any kind. IMDb - FilmSite.com - Iowa Movie Site Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Firefly (TV Series - 9/20/2002 to 12/20/2002) Although I really didn't like the 'first' episode very much, I've seen every episode which has aired so far. Firefly has quickly improved. I also need to mention the great computer graphics. The ships and things look totally real. I don't think I've seen anything on TV that looks better or has a more convincing look, forget TV, I think it looks better than most movies I've seen. Those guys should win a bunch of awards. The whole team, actors and so on, have done a great job on the show.
FOX used to take more chances and leave a show on long enough to build an audience. I hope this show continues in some way, even in movie form, but I like it as a TV show because you get more chances for interesting episodes. Update: They made a movie called Serenity which is great news, but I still wish it was in series form because you have more chances of getting great episodes mixed in with stuff you don't like, just like Star Trek. You can always find an episode of Star Trek you like because there are so many, but it's very easy to dislike every movie since there aren't that many in comparison.

The Freshman (1990) A little 'cartoony' in places, but good. IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Futurama (TV Series 3/1999 to 8/2003) I don't like this show as much as Family Guy, but it's usually better than the Simpsons. IMDb - EpGuides - Search for Futurama DVDs at Amazon.com
Galaxy Quest (1999) Not the greatest movie ever made, but I kind of like it. IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Good Will Hunting (1997) IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Goodfellas (1990) I didn't like this movie that much when it was new, but I like it much better now. IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Groundhog Day (1993) I love the idea of this movie more than the actual movie. It has a few funny moments though. IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Hearts in Atlantis (2001) IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Heroes (TV Show) Fun to watch, but it can be a little slow in spots. The first 7 episodes of the second season weren't that great, but it did start to get better after that. Buy Heroes - Season One on DVD
Holiday [with Cary Grant] (1938) IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
House (TV Series) Although it seems impossible, they manage to keep this show interesting.
House of Games (1987) Interesting movie about con men. IMDb - David Mamet Info Page - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
How Difficult Can This Be? The F.A.T. City Workshop (1989) Shows 'normal' people what it's like to have various learning difficulties. Eye-opening for most people who watch it and they learn a new way to think about fairness. Watching 'normal' people take these various tests and having a hard time is also good for people who have learning difficulties. It helps them to feel like someone finally understands. Everyone should see this video. LD OnLine - Scholastic - www.ricklavoie.com
How I Met Your Mother (TV Series) A Friends rip-off that doesn't totally suck. Official CBS Page - Wikipedia - YouTube Video Clips - howimetyourmother.org
H. R. Pufnstuf (TV Series 9/6/1969 to 9/4/1971) My favorite show when I was between 4 to 6 years old. 70s Live Action Kid Vid - Billie Hayes Weekly Wire - Pufnstuf Vs. McDonald's Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
I Heart Huckabees (2004) The best part of i ♥ huckabees is this quote: "Say this blanket represents all the matter and energy in the universe, okay? This is me, this is you, And over here, this is the Eiffel Tower, right, it's Paris!" IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
The Incredible, Indelible, Magical, Physical Mystery Trip (1973) Live-action and animation with "Timer," the "hanker for a hunka cheese" character. Toon Tracker - BCD - BCD - Time for Timer
Jericho (TV Show) I don't know how long it will take before we know the cause of the nuclear disaster, but it's fun discovering what happened. Parts of the show can be dull, especially when they focus on the blonde who thinks her future husband is dead and the brother who wants a divorce so he can hump the woman at the bar. Official CBS Page - Wikipedia - Buy the first season on DVD
Joan of Arcadia (TV Series 9/26/2003 to 05/2005) My family and I thought this show might be another lame Touched by an Angel or Highway to Heaven, but it was pretty good and most of the episodes were worth watching. With all of the crap CBS keeps on year after year, It's hard to believe this show was cancelled. CBS - TV.com - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
The Joe Schmo Show (TV Series) A fake reality show called Lap of Luxury where only one of the contestants is actually real. It's not mean like you would think. Although its a prank show, it's done in way that doesn't make you cringe. I haven't watched the second season. I'll probably watch it on DVD. Wikipedia - Buy The Joe Schmo Show on DVD
John Doe (2002–2003 TV Series) One more good show that FOX killed.
Journeyman (2007+ TV Series) This series was a little boring at the beginning, but it started to get better after the first handful of episodes. Now Journeyman is one of my favorite shows. I know it's a Quantum Leap rip-off, but at least the main character doesn't have to wear dresses or kiss a new girl almost every episode. He's not constantly stuck in the past, so he gets to come home, which is better, and we slowly get to find out why it's happening and why his 'dead' wife is doing the same thing.
Kitchen Nightmares (2007+ TV Series) I like the show, but I don't like the constant "Please don't leave! Look at all of the exciting things coming up!" before they go to a commercial. I'm here. I'm not leaving. Don't spoil the show by showing me all of the cool stuff to come. I hate that I have to leap for the remote to fast-forward before they spoil everything.
If more people watched this show, some might learn to have more pride in their work and others might learn a little humility. Too many people have the "nobody complained, so it must be great" attitude or the "half-assed is good enough for me, so it should be good enough for you" attitude or the "how dare you even suggest that I'm not perfect" attitude. Throw out your ego and old ways that don't work and get the job done.
The Krofft Supershow (TV Series 9/11/76 to 9/2/78) I only watched this when the fake band (Kaptain Kool and the Kongs) hosted. I remember watching Dr. Shrinker, Wonderbug, and Electrawoman and Dynagirl. Crazy stuff. They must have been on drugs.
Ladyhawke (1985) I hate the crappy 'rock/pop' music, but the rest of the movie is interesting and WarGames boy is funny. IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Land of the Lost (TV Series 9/7/1974 to 9/2/1978) I loved this show more than most. I think I liked Cha-ka better than the other characters. Land of the Lost.com - 70s Live Action Kid Vid - Tyrannosaurus Lex - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
The Last Remake of Beau Geste (1977) I saw this movie on HBO over and over again back in the late 1970s when I was a kid. I thought parts of the movie were great back then. It would be nice to have it on DVD to see if I like it as much as I did when I was a kid.
The Last Starfighter (1984) There are some boring patches, but still a pretty good movie. IMDb - SciFlicks - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Late for Dinner (1991) At least 30% of this movie is worth watching.
Law & Order: Criminal Intent (TV Series) I think this is the best of the various versions of Law & Order. The others are OK, but this one stands out and is a lot more interesting. I hate the second team of detectives that were added in season 5. They somehow manage to take an interesting show and turn it into instant crap. I understand that D'Onofrio needs a break, but can't we get better actors? Chris Noth stinks. TV.com - Wikipedia - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Let's Kill Uncle (1966) Another strange movie.
Lidsville (TV Series 9/11/1971 to 9/1/1973) I didn't love this show, but some episodes were worthy of a look. I hated the stupid living hats and the lame theme song, but I did like the idea of finding a secret entrance into another dimension. Billie Hayes - EpGuides - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Life on a Stick (TV Series) This show was goofy enough for me to like it. It wasn't on very long though. I pretty much liked the whole cast. That was the first time I saw Charlie Finn on anything. If he isn't a star yet, he should be. And you have to like Saige Thompson. She should also be a big star.
The Loop (TV Series) I hope this show stays on for at least a few seasons. It's a goofy little show, but it deserves to stay on for a while. Update: After watching a few episodes of the second season, I don't like it as much. I like the old opening better and the two girls that used to live with the main character are gone.
Lost in space: Trip Through the Robot (TV episode from season 2) I loved this episode as a kid. Official Site - Irwin Allen News - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Lucus (1986) One of the few Corey Haim movies I can watch without vomiting. IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Malcolm in the Middle (TV Series) Like most shows, the longer it goes on the worse it gets, but it's still not too horrible. Life is Unfair - EpGuides - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Mannequin (1987) I like about 20% of this movie. If it wasn't for Kim Cattrall, it would be total crap. IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Mask (1985) Even if you don't like Cher or bikers, it's not that bad. IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Match Game / Match Game PM (Game Show) Unless I'm forgetting something, this is my favorite game show. I'm talking about the 1970s version that ran into the 1980s. Never saw the 1960s version or the Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour, but it sounds like it was terrible. I watched the 1990 Ross Shafer version and it was OK, but he was too wimpy and that rapid-fire matching part of the game they added really sucked.
My local cable company moved GSN to some stupid premium sports package, so I couldn't get it for a while, but they eventually brought it back.

The Matrix (1999) I would like this movie much better without most of the slow motion. It's still one of my favorite movies though. It's much better than the two that followed. The special effects in Revolutions was better than what they had in crappy Reloaded, but special effects don't make a movie interesting on their own. Not much happened in the second or third movies that was even half as interesting as the first. IMDb - SciFlicks - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Mazes and Monsters (1982) A movie that will probably be banned by the PC police.
Me, Myself & Irene (2000) I like many parts of this movie. It's funnier than I thought it would be. IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Meatballs (1979) You have to fast forward a lot to get to the funny. IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
Medium (TV Series) I didn't think I would like this show, but it's pretty good. I have been watching since the first episode. The second season had some weak episodes. You knew what was coming 5 miles away. Most episodes are still worth watching, so I'm not close to giving up on the show yet.
Misfits of Science (TV Series)
The Money Maze (Game Show 12/23/74 to 7/4/75)
Mrs. Columbo: A Riddle for Puppets (TV episode 8/23/79) Strange episode with Jay Johnson from the TV series Soap.
MXC (TV Series) Most Extreme Elimination Challenge can be kind of lame sometimes, but no matter how stupid the comic voiceovers can be, it's funny to see foreign people doing so many dangerous stunts on really crappy sets. The Log Drop and Window Pain are a couple of my favorites.
My Left Foot (1989) A movie everyone should see. IMDb - Search for the DVD at Amazon.com
My Name Is Earl (TV Series) One more show that I thought I would hate. It's about white trash, but it's not that irritating white trash Roseanne sitcom stuff.
My World and Welcome to It (TV Series 9/15/1969 To 1970) This show 'freaked me out' as a kid.

Gilligan's Island (TV Series) Brain suck TV. I hope one day that there will be proof that shows like these cause brain damage.
Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. (TV Series)
Green Acres (TV Series)
Hello, Dolly! (1969) I hate movies like this and anything else with Barbara Streisand in it.
I love Lucy (TV Series)
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963)
The Jamie Kennedy Experiment (TV Series) I hate almost all prank shows and this is one of them. Jamie Kennedy also makes me want to puke. I don't want to see him on TV or in movies.
Local TV Stations I dislike local TV stations (ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX) because they don't respect the network programming. They interrupt shows for lame reasons, usually because they want their local news anchors to get more face time. They preempt your favorite shows and replace them with local sports and infomercials and if that wasn't bad enough, they can decide at any time that they don't want you to see a certain show, so they just pull the plug.
Mama's Family (TV Series)
Mame (1974)
M*A*S*H (TV Series)
Maude (TV Series)
Mayberry R.F.D. (TV Series)
Minority Report (2002) A huge disappointment because we didn't get to see enough futuristic stuff. What they did show was pretty good, but they needed more throughout the movie.
The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo (TV)
Monster's Ball (2001) They should have called this movie 'Monsters Ball' instead of 'Monster's Ball' because all of the main characters seem to be monsters in some way and that's all this soft-core porno seems to be about, monsters having sex. I agree with just about every negative comment you will find at the IMDb.
Mork and Mindy (TV Series)
The Mothman Prophecies (2002) Mark Pellington has to be one of the worst directors on the planet. He managed to take a semi-interesting 'true' story and turn it into boring, counterfeit garbage. Since he's not interested in UFOs, men in black, and other things from the original account, the movie suffers horribly. The whole movie is a clumsy, heavy-handed mess.
The Munsters (TV Series)
My Fair Lady (1964)
Pesky People They might be the nicest people in the world, but something about their public personas make me cringe and change the channel.
Yuck, just yuck.
Her 'I'm too sexy' act is sickening. Please go away.
I think she is tied with Fred Travalena for most irritating 'entertainer'. Any time she opens her mouth, you know your ears and brain are in for some pain, so it's the fast forward button to the rescue. |
