If you like comedies you had to think the DNCC was pretty good

Maybe I'm not thinking of the same movie, but wasn't this one "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"?

As for TV shows, I'm content with Wheel of Fortune, and game shows in general, but primarily wheel of fortune. Family Guy was good for a laugh for awhile, but kinda seems like they may be running low on material. I guess wait until the new pres. is in, either of them, and they'll pry have enough for a full season...along with every other comedian out there...

Awfull film, Blazing Saddles much better

 

[redneckgeek]

I still think "The Road Warrior" was the greatest movie ever.
King Arthur w/Clive Owen and Kiera Knightley was good, too.

The only TV shows I watch consistantly are
Lost
Cops
Antiques Roadshow

Now Ken, I am trying to control myself today. I got all fired up yesterday. But yes that would be a good one

I think I have to be in the mood to watch The Holy Grail. I think I have seen it once. There was another movie that came out, that was something like that, but I can't remember what its was called.

I don't think I've even heard of that one

I had not hear that about Monk. It rates as #2 on my list behind Dexter, so I hope not. I will have to check.

Sadly Monk is relegated to daytime TV here

Sadly Monk is relegated to daytime TV here

Is that because you watch it as it is broadcast, or do they syndicate it as a daytime show ?

UPDATE:

I think that I figured it out. 9:00 PM here is probably 2:00 AM in England (or is it 3:00?), so they must rebroadcast, or not very many people would be up to see it, right? I wonder why they rebroadcast in the day as opposed to early evening? Oh well, there's always DVR, Tivo, or a VCR of some type.

 

[Joe8915]

Hey guys, lets us don't forget about
Christmas Vacation and Christmas Story as well as great movies.

I suspect that it's just sold to network here and they decide when to show it, since I rarely watch daytime tv I don't even know if it's still on, great shame I quite enjoyed it
