Strange Frequency (2001)
Not too bad for a made for cable movie
I think it's hilariously ironic that the writers of the "Disco Inferno" episode of STRANGE FREQUENCY made hell into a disco. I find that would be my luck... I die and go to hell and it's just YMCA playing again and again on an endless loop. I was definitely into the second episode, "My Generation". How true it is.... how growing up and listening to my father's music I would chide it because it was not good like the stuff I was listening to (and that stuff, growing up was all hair bands...). It takes the argument of whose generation of music is better to a whole new scary level... I should have paid more attention to the third episode, as I clean up peoples' messes for a living. However, it lost me on its moral revenge message. The final episode disturbed me. I find it very unnerving a father would actually trick his daughter like this one did at the end. I understand his motives, but still find that he was a little slightly off his rocker.
Freaks and Geeks (1999)
So Wonderful
I hadn't even heard of the show until I first watched it on the night it began airing September 25, 99. This show is a lot like "The Wonder Years" with going back in time and reliving a great decade, and it's a little bit like "My So-Called Life" with the entire high school scene and attempting to find yourself where you belong. I can relate to this show in so many ways and it's addicting. It's beautifully casted and written and infectious. It better not be one of those shows that's highly regarded but gets crap ratings because that will really put a damper on my Saturday TV watchings :(
This show is truly a great catch and I am so in love with the entire thing. I have been waiting for a show to be done about the 80's..... and finally it's here and it's not all cheezy or anything. :)
