billjohnson47 says "terrible" about Law and Order: SVU

billjohnson47 — Mon, 12 May 2008 17:19:17 GMT

i watched the episode with robin Williams because of robin Williams and i am still not someone who can watch this show. the scripts are terrible and the one with robin was just as bad. i cannot believe someone with robin stature would allow the script to be written the way it was. ...

billjohnson47 says "get what you pay for" about Tracfone

billjohnson47 — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:24:31 GMT

i bought into tracfone primarily because of bad credit. since then i have stayed with them because of the cost of having a contract with another company or learning a new system with a new pay-as-you-go company.

my first phone finally would not take a new card and i had to get another refurbished phone from tracfone and did not lose my minutes. the new? phone was not great but i am not into the fancy phones. i do not use my phone much and how it looks is not important.

the customer service is why i do not give tracfone a good rating. it is outsourced and i also have a hard time understanding them. asking for someone else i felt would not improve the call.

i will stay with tracfone since i do not make many calls anyway.

billjohnson47 says "good history lesson" about the groove tube

As someone who has lived through the Watergate years this movie is a good portrayal of TV during this time. the music is also great. i really like the music during and after the credits, but the video i bought did not have the final song. that was a negative.

TV is shone to be a very strong influence on us. how the different episodes are played show's were we are today. thirty years later. the movie is very dated and many people would not get what was going on, however some of the shows could be shone today and be effective.

it is interesting that one of the stars is on law and order.

billjohnson47 says "characters welcome" about Psych

billjohnson47 — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 22:15:12 GMT

this show and monk are two shows that USA network needs to copy instead of WWF. this show is good because Shawn has taken something his dad taught him and is able to use it for good. the flashbacks are a good way to show how his dad had him work on his remembering things around him. it is a shame his dad does not like that Shawn has used being a psychic to use his knowledge. why can't Shawn be a cop? with monk, psych, and house on Friday night i have my TV schedule fixed. could NBC bring chuck to USA....

billjohnson47 says "makes me laugh out loud" about Two and a Half Men

billjohnson47 — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 22:03:52 GMT

this show is really funny, the humor of course is off-color and can make some people blush, like my brother and his family. however i like the way everyone plays off of each other. my favorite is jon cryer. he seems to be acting, not just reading the lines. the show makes fun of marriage and how difficult it is to really know women except for one night stands. in that way charlie has the right approach, use and forget them. the way charlie took in his brother and son is rather heartwarming since i have a similar situation and not the same results. some people have big hearts....

billjohnson47 says "same monk" about Monk: Monk on the Run Part 2

billjohnson47 — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 21:43:29 GMT

this show was the same as any monk. i have seen almost all the shows and like some others there were continuity problems. remember the episode that monk could not swim and had to read a note to know what to do? but you know that monk had to think this through and know that the capt. would have to shoot him so that he could operate instead of having the sheriff always after the capt. keeping Natalie in the dark was the best idea. she could not keep a secret involving monk. monk is better than some other shows on tv. i wish nbc would show the show in repeats like they have done in the past....

billjohnson47 says "where's chuck" about chuck

billjohnson47 — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 20:44:32 GMT

i watch the episodes of last year but since the writers strike i have not found chuck. sci-fi had a it listed but it was not on. where's chuck?

i found chuck on the web and watched a show i had not seen. yeah.

chuck, with the intro, reminds me of i spy. no one knows he is a spy and his handlers do a good job of that. i find that chuck could do more to show he is important to the operation and he should be treated with more respect. he should get a real girlfriend or at least have him meet other women.
