Advantages: Classic film. Funny. Bill Murray
Disadvantages: Not as funny as 1. There's no Ghostbusters 3

Ghostbusters I was released in 1984 to great success it has become a cult classic since then and I'm sure everyone is aware of the franchise. It is no-longer possible to innocently say 'Who you gonna call?' without someone instantly shouting 'GHOSTBUSTERS!' Ghostbusters II was an equally succesful sequel released 5 years later with the same cast. It is 5 years on in the story and the Ghostbusters are now defunct. The destruction wrought at the ...
...the new craze has left Ghostbusters behind. Egon (Harold Ramis) has gone back to being a simple scientist and the cocky and hilarious Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) hosts his own unsuccesful TV show. However, all changes as Dana Barret (Sigourney Weavet) is back on the scene as the character's main damsel in distress. Her love affair with Peter is revealed tohave failed in the past 5 years and she has had an unsuccesful marriage since then which has ... Read review

Advantages: The lovely performances of the Essex girls
Disadvantages: None

Throughout the 1990's, Birds Of A Feather achieved huge ratings and was frequently repeated throughout the duration of the decade. Into the twenty first century, time seems to have somewhat eclipsed Birds Of A Feather' remarkable achievements, despite it spanning a run of over 100 episodes over nine successful seasons. It is also questionably overlooked by many sneering critics as a trur classic, which without doubt, it truly is. To date, only the ...
...the very first season of Birds Of A Feather is arguably the very finest in the series, displaying a real earthy quality, striking a winning transistion between gritty kitchen sink drama and familiar sitcom terriotry, yet not once quite shaking off its realistic undertone. Needless to say as the series progressed it did subsequently lose that raw edge that had made the show such a winner and by the final season in 1998 it had disintigrated into just ... Read review

Advantages: humor
Disadvantages: humor

Allen's gorilla warfare satire and political stabs (at J. Edgar Hoover and the likes) are memorable, one worth noting however- when trying to very discreetly, and unsuccessfully, buying a nudie magazine in small shop. The arrays of parodies are too vast to categorize- however, too often Allen dragged the burlesque of the scene. For the price stated above- it's worth it, for if by any particular reason you don't like it- you only lost max. of four ... Read review

Advantages: So Funny
Disadvantages: ---------------

...big brother used to watch friends all the time and that's when I got into it. It isn't as repetitive as some other American sitcoms. Friends is a sitcom about six friends living in New York, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, Ross, Monica and Rachel. Phoebe is a hippy guitarist. She is vegetarian and has many strong beliefs (although sometimes these are pretty stupid). She also dresses pretty wacky. Phoebe my favourite girl in friends. Throughout the ten ...
...Chandlers girlfriend. Monica has been friends with Rachel since high school. Rachel is addicted to fashion. She entered the series as a spoilt girl who had run away from her wedding. She turned up in the coffee shop in her wedding dress. She always wanted to find a job in fashion and eventually ends up working at Ralph Lauren. I am totally addicted to Friends (along with many other people). I was really sad when the final series ended but at least ... Read review

Advantages: great Humour
Disadvantages: Not suitable for all!

Family Guy comes under a lot of flak from other TV shows and fans of other TV shows, however I believe that it does not copy these other shows, but does something subtly different, and it does it darn well! Family Guy focuses on the surreal lives of a cartoon family: Peter: Moronic father with no common sense or social awareness. Lois: The patient and loving wife of Peter, who occasionally goes utterly insane. Chris: The stupid teenage boy, generally ...
...by the rest of the family for being ugly (it is funny, I promise!) Stewie: The evil baby who is permanently planning to kill Lois. Brian: The cool, intelligent, alcoholic, talking dog. The show is extremely surreal, cutting between crazy scenes which are unconnected to the real world, and random sketch-like elements to illustrate statements of the characters. The show is often much more in touch with the subtleties of pop-culture than other shows, ... Read review
