Ally McBeal
(1997)

Thankyou...
My first impression of Ally McBeal as a show was that is was a sassy girly show. Until of course i took a close look.

I realised that this world that i was watching all be it sassy and girly was a world that i envied. Although knowing in my mind it was fiction the actors bought their world to life...

This show has made me laugh, cry, angry and stronger. Calista Flockharts performance is moving. With every emotion Miss McBeal is experiencing you can feel it.

The show had a tremendous soundtrack. It has launched the career of Vonda Shepherd (the voice and conscience of the show. I myself am going to see her in concert later this month) and re-launched the careers of a few, namely Al Green, Barry White and many others.

With every Season there is a change. With the death of a lead character and the departure of his screen wife this show has proved that a show can change and survive.

It is now at the end of Season Four... to my relief the show is fresh still. I look forward to Monday nights... i sit in my lounge... get a coke... a small snack... and sit down for an hour of Ally McBeal... nothing in my week cheers me more... this may sound sad... but for that hour Miss McBeal sucks me into her world... I see the world from her eyes... It appears to make sense... the one time in the week i feel truly happy.

Thankyou...

Gimme Gimme Gimme
(1999)

Energy is not the word to use.
From the first episode right to the last New Year episode i have loved it. Althought Tom Farrell and Linda La Hughes are some of the most disgusting people you could come across they are adorable.

Gimme Gimme Gimme is sent in Kentish Town in London. They are flat mates, Tom being the sissy gay one and Linda being the butch straight one. The series also features three other main characters... Beryl (landlady) and Sues and Jez (The sickeningly in love neighbours. Linda and Tom are constantly hitting on Jez). The is one reoccuring character... Sugar walls, (you now see the actess in Eastenders... so don't hope to see her in this again).

My favourite episode has to be the Millenium night episode. So filled with laughter... the episode ends with both characters passing out... after singing a small rendition of 'Tomorrow' from Annie. Then a large choir bursts in and finishes the episode.

I don't see how people could not enjoy this programme. It is one of the few good comedies that the BBC has come up with in the last 5 years.

If you love crudeness... and God do i... watch this you shall love it. It is a very addictive show.
