You Bet Your Life (2021)
Great to see Jay and Kevin together again
I enjoy this show. It's funny and nice to watch. I really enjoy seeing Jay Leno and Kevin Eubanks together again. I haven't watched late night TV since Jay Leno retired.
Needful Things (1993)
Good movie but leaves a lot out
This contains spoilers so be warned. The movie is good and the acting by the two lead characters (Sheriff Pangborn and Mr. Gaunt). I wish all of the plots and twists could have been included but the movie would have run about five hours had that been done. As someone else said this would have made a nice mini series with maybe a few items purchased in each show. Also some of the things from the book were greatly changed. Spoilers next.
The most glaring difference is that Sheriff Pangborn meets Mr. Gaunt very early on in the movie while in the book he does not meet him until almost the end. Also in the book Myra Evans slashes Hugh Priest's tires instead of the catholic priest doing it. There are other subtle differences and nothing about Sheriff Pangborn's wife and child (who are both deceased) is recalled as well as how Mr. Gaunt plants evidence making it look like Pangborn was spying on Polly Chalmers. In the movie he makes Pangborn out to be an embezzler while in the book Dan Keeton is the embezzler.
The Golden Girls (1985)
The best TV show of the 1980's
The best show of the 1980's, hands down. I loved this show from the first episode and have all seven seasons on DVD. They get watched all the time in my house. The acting and writing was top notch on this show. I consider it the last good TV show in my opinion. It went off the air in May 1992 and that is really when I stopped watching current TV. The shows on now just can't compare. It also dealt with some very touching subjects such as, blindness, Alzheimer's, homosexuality, AIDS, impotence, bigamy, and chronic fatigue syndrome, and did it with quite a bit of class. I think overall my favorite season would be the third one. My favorite character would have to be Blanche. I just love her attitude and the way she always pretends she is much younger than she really is. If you want to see four excellent actresses and some classic timing and comedy sit down and enjoy The Golden Girls.
