I remember the later years (72-73) of this show. Interesting trivia: The Love Boat started out as a vignette from one of the episodes.

With her deadpan, sarcastic lines and timing, Jane Levy is the breakout star of the show.The rest of the cast, from Jeremy Sisto's befuddled single dad to Cheryl Hines and the vapid sexpot, are all playing roles direct from TV Central Casting. Allie Grant is a surprise after her role on Weeds, but Carly Chaikin's Dalia is an absolute distraction! She's trying to play the spoiled, rich alpha girl but she comes off as either stoned or heavily-medicated and kills every scene she's in.

Originally deemed a boring movie and a box-office flop, today it's probably the most fact-based telling of the plot behind the Pearl Harbor attacks, shown from both the Japanese and American sides.

"Never Give Up,...Never Surrender!"
A hilarious spoof of the Star Trek franchise resurgence and stood it on its head! Hell, I think even Gene Roddenberry was laughing in his grave!

It didn't originally appeal to me, but then I had to watch it as part of a managers' training class and I really enjoyed it more than I expected. Knowing the outcome wasn't the big thing here, it was the interplay and because it's based on a true story, its a great snapshot of early-60s race views, too!

It has Krysten Ritter in it, so my interest is already piqued................................wow, I can't believe I STILL haven't reached the required 100 characters to post my review.

I'm sort of conflicted about this show. It started as a Buffy-wannabe, had the same mix of horror and humor, then it got upended, had character changes and just devolved into a weird, unpleasant series. The ending left me wanting more and wishing it stayed on its original course.

For a story about banning books, there's a certain perverse satisfaction that Fahrenheit 451 is now available as an e-book!

I stumbled across this on SoapNet a few years ago and really liked it. It was a bit too Pollyanna-like, but the points did hit home most of the time.

The basis for Mel Gibson's Payback. A classic; violent, nasty and gets to the point! Probably one of the best of the 60s!
