Cue the Music (1991)
Great music, cheesy intro
This late night music show was one of those filler shows they used when UK TV first started broadcasting 24/7. It had a cheesy faux behind the scenes intro to the bands and eventually they realized how lame it was and started making fun of themselves by bringing in Tony Slattery for comic relief.
The Wire (2002)
Spoilt by the dodgy American accent
Some people think this is better than The Sopranos. The Wire may be more realistic and gritty but I think The Sopranos is more entertaining. Dominic West is a good actor but as a Brit I hear his english accent bleeding through which lowers the enjoyment for me.
Cars (2006)
disappointing
I love Pixar movies and was still looking forward to Cars even though the clips I'd seen didn't exactly grab me. Sadly although visually it looked great I was so bored I actually considered leaving the theater which is rare for me. I think the problem was it lacked the compelling story, great characters and witty script I've come to expect from Pixar. They've always had the knack of appealing to all ages but this felt liked it was squarely aimed at little boys and Nascar fans. Before you say well I guess you just don't like Nascar, well I don't but neither do I like French Restaurants but I still enjoyed Ratatouille. Fortunately Pixar has been back on track since and I can't wait to see Toy Story 3.
