This show is the best! I don't write many reviews and am not always a fan of improv comedy like a lot of people, but if you get past your assumptions about bad improv and give it a chance you will see that this is one of the few rare quality improv shows where you are treated to "good improv" without all tho stuff you hate about low quality improv shows by non pros. Albert Howell is brilliant too.!

For Fans of Their Music
17 February 2019
This show I see is disliked by many but really it is made for so probably appeals mostly to us fans of them and their music. If you don't know or don't like their music obviously you won't enjoy their show much. But I thought it was charming and nice to see them in this show.

One of the Best
17 February 2019
This is one of the best cooking shows ever to be put on TV in my opinion. He was not just a great cook but very funny and super nice, always smiling and full of energy and making sure us viewers were following along with his cooking and also that the live audience members who got to try his food were enjoying themselves and liking it. Great guy, great show!

Some Funny Moments
17 February 2019
This had some funny moments in it but mostly is just the same old stupid, pointless Tom Green gross out stunts that must have been outrageous at the time but are just not very funny now, and more extreme comedians have done the same or better (or worse) many times over since this first was on TV.

Was This Ever Funny?
17 February 2019
Tom Green is just not funny now but watching these videos now I have to even wonder if they were ever even funny to begin with? They must have been on some level because he definitely had fans but all this stuff that seemed groundbreaking has been done a lot better and a lot more extreme since then. Seems unfunny and unwatchable now.
Terrible
17 February 2019
This movie was not funny at all and also wasn't even just plain "good" or sexy either. I'm not sure how this even got made. It's like a bunch of people just got in a room together with a camera and said "I bet if we made a movie with the word orgy in it people would give us some money for it!" Terrible movie in all aspects.

She Seems Likable, Show's Not Good
17 February 2019
The host of this show seems like a nice and likable person but this show just is not very good and the comedy is not funny at all. Maybe it's the writing and or the acting or just lack of resources and production money but this show just seems off on so many levels.
Super Dave: Daredevil for Hire
(1992– )
Choppy
17 February 2019
I like Super Dave a lot but this cartoon was very choppy. Even for kids it was a bit too silly. Bob Einstein's voice is always great though. Very hit or miss with too much miss. Watch the other Super Dave shows instead.
Codco
(1986–1992)
Classic Canadian TV Comedy
17 February 2019
Codco was a classic show and it actually kind of lives on because a lot of the people on it and behind it kind of spun it off into This Hour Has 22 Minutes which is still on today, all these years later. Definitely worth checking out, yeah it is dated but it was very groundbreaking and different and funny as heck at the time.

Nice
16 February 2019
This is a nice feel good show. The writing is pretty by the numbers and there's no huge surprises, especially in the movies after the series ended. The acting is fine. The kind of thing you can watch to just veg out and not be too "challenged" and I mean that in a good way.

Very Talented Cast and Still Funny if Somewhat Dated
16 February 2019
The cast of this show are many of the all time great comedy performers from Canada or for that matter from the U.S. and the whole world. Their characters are great and very well done. The writing is very good too. The only problem is that this show is now 40+ years old and a lot of what they are joking about, and also often just the jokes and style of humor, have gotten a bit dated.
Lethal Weapon 2
(1989)
Best of the Series!
16 February 2019
This is my fave of all of the Lethal Weapon movies. It has the great action of the first one and the comedy is even better. Joe Pesci is very funny, and unlike the later movies where they use him too much and he gets old, he doesn't get too annoying in this one, and he stays funny. Great performances, great action and comedy story. Glover and Gibson are great.
Toy Story

Overrated
22 September 2014
This movie isn't terrible or anything but for it to be considered one of the best animated films ever is really beyond me - of course that's obviously just my opinion. Not sure why I feel that way, it just didn't grab me.
I know other people who love the movie who have opinions regarding other movies that I trust and agree with so I fully am aware that I could be "wrong" about this movie but I can't help but feel the way that I do.
It really doesn't hold up well in my opinion either, I know the technical aspects of this movie helped make Pixar but things advanced so quickly that looking back at this now makes me say "wow the graphics are bad here."

Hard to Find
30 December 2013
I am a big fan of Walter L. and his stuff is legendary, he is way ahead of the curve and well ahead of his time in the animation department with some great work under his belt, but I just could not seem to find this short animation film for the longest time. It is up on YouTube now so see it while you can because it has been there or on other sharing video sites before and was pulled down again I am assuming someone owns the copy right to Walter's work and does not want it getting around for free, but this short is from 1925 so let's get cracking and get his great work out there so people can share it, after about 90 years I think that it should be fair use for the public.
The Great Gatsby
(1974)
The Book is Best
30 December 2013
I have read the book many times, probably read it more times than any other book in my life, since I first read it way back in high school and loved it. I still have the same copy of the book but it is very beat up and worn out, time to get a new one I guess. I view it as a great American tragedy or the greatest one ever written possibly. But tragedies about larger-than-life characters are not so easy to reproduce on-screen. This version is probably better than the new version with Leonardo Di Caprio but it is still not a very good film. In some ways I guess it is just impossible to hold a candle to the book version of the story when the book was so damn good. Robert Redford isn't bad in this and I generally like him in everything he does, but it's impossible to capture such a famous and deep character when everyone has the "perfect" version of that character in their head from the pages of the book. He doesn't measure up, but then again I don't think anyone ever could. It's too big of a job! This movie is worth watching but make sure you read the book first since that's the best way to get the story first hand. But it's not a very good movie because it can't possibly measure up and doesn't.
Match Game

Horrible Guests
29 December 2013
The guests are terrible. Shawn Cullen and the big girl are terrible. The host is boring and seems bored himself. I don't know what else to say about this show. They scream and yell to get attention and jump out of their seats and Shawn Cullen won't stop making up songs and singing them extra loud to make sure everyone hears his annoying bullshit. They spin the wheel and he sings about the wheel spinning for the rest of the show. None of the funny answers are ever actually funny it is usually just different words for penis or blow jobs. This show is so stupid and useless. The contestants look like they regret being on the show unless they win some money at the end. Everyone on this show comes off looking stupid. They have a guest on as a special guest who is from a big show but they just end up looking stupid like they want to fire their agent for putting them on this garbage show. I hope they are at least getting a butt load of money for doing it because this show is garbage. I hate Match Game!
Dog Day Afternoon
(1975)
Boring Movie
28 December 2013
I know I will get bashed for saying that and maybe it is just that I was expecting so much with all the positive hype I was getting from friends and other students but I was definitely very disappointed with watching this movie. There was not much action and Pacino and the other robber were both good actors but it was a bit over the top and there wasn't much interesting action in this. I kind of knew everything that was going to happen so it just seemed predictable that way. I guess maybe it is possible that people long ago told me the best parts of the movie and I forgot about it but knew it was going to happen once I started watching the movie. The scene where they leave the bank is pretty cool with some good tension but other than that I was just really bored most of the time, very disappointing to me because I was expecting such a great movie.
Package Deal
(2013–2014)
Yawn
24 December 2013
I thought this show would be good and it should have been good. Harland Williams is a very funny actor and comedian. His parts in There's Something About Mary and Dumb and Dumber are two of the funniest parts of those movies. Maybe the problem is he is supposed to be more of a one off character who comes in and is hilarious then leaves instead of being a character who has a show built mostly around him. He is still funny but the show is just stupid. I don't like any of the characters including him and none of the story is believable at all. The jokes are all predictable and just plain not funny. I don't think this show has made me laugh even one time. This is a pitiful show and everyone watching it and Harland Williams deserve better.
Seed
(2013–2014)
Horrendous
20 December 2013
Seed is a horrendous show. I can't believe it has a 6 out of 10 rating on IMDb. So many ratings of a perfect 10. Makes me suspicious that maybe the show or the network have signed up for a million fake accounts just to make it look like people actually watch and like this show. Have you ever met someone who watches and enjoys this show because I haven't. I have only sat through two full episodes and the start of the third, gave it more than enough chance to stop sucking but it is just a terribly and not funny show. Canadian TV comedies just keep getting worse. Dan for Mayor and Hiccups were awful, Satisfaction and Package Deal are awful, Seed is awful. Maybe we just should stop trying to make comedy TV shows because the networks in Canada obviously can't hack it.
