Pawla656 says "Worth it!" about Get Smart

As a fan who used to watch the TV series, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was funny throughout. The two actors that played the 'geeks' should have had more screen time, but that's evident in the DVD that's out about just them. (sorry don't remember what the title is). It's worth watching, even if it's for nostalgic reasons. And the end.........let's just say.........if you're a Get Smart TV series fan.....the end will leave you happily anticipating that, uh, there'll probably be a, "Get Smart, Again" or "Get Smarter"....

Pawla656 says "Are the patrons paid to eat at this place?" about Hell's Kitchen

Gordan Ramsay's blood pressure must be sky high! He throws food, spits out food, smacks his fist on the counters, bangs his head on the wall repeatedly, yells, swears... Then, when he's with the winning team, having dinner he's a gentle man and a gentleman and a fun guy. I think he needs just a bit more medication for bi-polar and for high blood pressure. Is it all an act? Maybe. But I hope he has security guards on set because one of these days a 'chef' may lash back. Not good in a kitchen with an assortment of weapons available. And change the menu........risotto is so 1st season....

Pawla656 says "The previews tell most of the show...." about The Moment of Truth

OK, it's an OK show. When the show goes to commercial it shows the upcoming questions and when it comes back from commercial it shows the previous questions & answers. The long, long, long pauses in between questions are idiotic since we already know they got the answer right.........because we saw the upcoming questions before we went to commercial! I say get rid of the pauses and add more people to the show OR make it a half hour. Until then I'll use that hour of my life to do something more worthwhile....

Pawla656 says "Predictable but still worth watching..." about American Idol- Season 7

I think the reason why the ratings for this show, even though it's still #1 on FOX, is that this season is predictable. The contestants have talent to begin with and, in the time given, stepping it up isn't showing that much of a difference week to week (except for a few performances). I think Jason just got overwhelmed and tired and Syesha overperformed for the premise of the show. I predicted the battle of the two Davids back when there were 12 contestants. Which one will be the IDOL? David A has a younger fan base and they may dial more often than David C's fans. As for the judges, they need some new catch phrases and Randy needs to stop his juvenille 'booing' of Simon during the introductions. It was funny the first couple of times. Now it's annoying. Either way both Davids will have great careers ahead of them and I'm looking forward to the concert tour....
