Married... with Children Reunion
(2003)

TV Stars Are People Too!!!
I must admit, it was kind of nice seeing the cast of "Married... With Children" be themselves and out of a character for a change. I mean, I'm sure the entire cast is sick & tired of people imitating them instead of taking them seriously. After all, even people on TV put pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us. So I was impressed to see everyone just talking --- Ed O'Neill especially. He seemed very intelligent and civilized, unlike his character, "Al Bundy". So I was not surprised to read that Ed O'Neill used to teach social studies before he started acting. That just goes to show how "right on the money" the Simpsons was in the episode when Bart went on the Conan O'Brian show, but all Conan wanted was for Bart to say his infamous "I didn't do it" line.

Unhappily Ever After
(1995)

"Married... With Children" Meets "ALF"
What can I say? This sitcom was a complete bite-off of "Married... With Children", with a puppet to accompany to the show just like "ALF". Although, I must admit that Nikki Cox was the only reason I watched that show. Sure, Christina Applegate was sexy too, but no contest to Nikki! Another similarity is that the theme song is an actual oldies song (Ray Charles's "Hit The Road, Jack") while "Married... With Children's" theme song is the late Frank Sinatra's "Love & Marriage".

Saved by the Bell: The New Class
(1993)

????????????
I began high school in September of 1993, the exact same month & year that "Saved by the Bell: The New Class" premiered. So I thought it was cool to grow up with this show... until I noticed that it was still on after I graduated high school in June of 1997. So this show didn't conclude until the year 2000! That made absolutely no sense.

Video Power
(1990)

"It's time to put the spot on Johnny by putting Johnny on the spot!"
In the Summer of '91 (at age 12), I attended the YMCA Day Camp on Castle Hill Avenue in the Bronx. One day, we all went on a field trip to "Video Power". I wasn't picked to be a contestant, but I did get a seat within a section that the camera usually points at. So just being in the audience had a lot of classmates sweatin' me at school the Fall after. I still have that episode on tape, and it's quite amusing looking at yourself with a flat-top haircut. Months after I turned 16, I was taking my road test (on Castle Hill Ave.) and noticed that the YMCA Day Camp was shut down. It's quite a shame to see nothing to look back on when you've attended that camp for six years. Oh well, life goes on. I'm 23 now and hope that anyone who reads this happened to attend the YMCA Day Camp anytime from 1986 to 1991. If so, E-mail me and title it "YMCA" or anything of that nature. I don't want to overlook it as junk mail. PeAcE! :-)

The Original Kings of Comedy
(2000)

Check That Out!
Did anybody notice several coincidences during the order of appearances in this film?

#1... Alphabetically by last name: Steve HARVEY, D.L. HUGHLEY, Cedric KYLES (his actual real last name), Bernie MAC.

#2... Alphabetically by first name (backwards): STEVE, D.L., CEDRIC, BERNIE.

#3... The amount of movies they're credited for (not counting this one): If you check each comedian's filmography on IMDB, Steve Harvey starred in the least, D.L. Hughley more, Cedric The Entertainer more than D.L., and Bernie Mac starred in the most.

#4... Their skin complexions: Steve Harvey (lightest), D.L. Hughley (a lil' darker), Cedric The Entertainer (dark), Bernie Mac (darkest).

Organized by SPIKE CoincidentaLEE LOL :-)

Kenan & Kel
(1996)

The Dynamic Duo
Although it is mainly for kids, I am in my 20's and find KENAN & KEL very amusing. A show about a schemer and an idiot definitely equals good comedy. Kenan is a laugh and a half when he gets carried away and yells "Whyyyyyyyyyy?!?" I love his facial expressions too when he suddenly has a brainstorm. Then Kel just kills me when he says "Awww... here it goes!" and his infamous "orange soda" bit. In addition, Kenan and Kel were a hit on "All That". Is it just me, or is Cedric The Entertainer's lunch lady skit on "Cedric Presents..." a complete bite-off of Kenan's pea-loving lunch lady skit on "All That"? Anyway, I loved that particular skit and Kel as "Repair Man" and "Coach Kreton". Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are two very talented actors, and I think that television should come out with more "buddy/dumb buddy" sitcoms. That is exactly why Zack and Screech were a hit on "Saved By The Bell".

The Parent 'Hood
(1995)

Two Thumbs Down
This is the most untalented cast of characters I've ever seen! Nobody on this show could act, especially Kenny Blank who was eventually taken off the show. And what was especially annoying was Robert when we would go into his day-dreaming. Complete garbage!

Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat
(2002)

He's So Crazy!
This is, without of the doubt, one of the funniest films that Martin Lawrence has ever done! I am a big fan of stand-up comedy as it is anyway, so I was very impressed. He rocked the mic on "Def Comedy Jam", so who wouldn't be surprised? In addition, I thought the opening to the movie was clever. Although the movie is mainly comedy, it was nice how the filmed began with a short documentary rather than that skit at the opening credits of "Eddie Murphy: Raw". However, I liked that stand-up show as well, so "Runteldat" definitely is up there with "Raw", "The Original Kings of Comedy", and both of John Leguizamo's shows. In conclusion, I could care less what the media had to say about Martin Lawrence. He's still "all about the Benjamins", so let him do his thing!
