The movie we wanted to see was sold out. So we paid to see this one. Not knowing anything about it. It's an unusually unique concept film. Some parts of the movie may make some people feel uncomfortable. Not because of any gratuitous violence but rather because of the sexual aspects. The movie that was sold out we watched the following week and it wasn't as interesting as Poor Things. So we consider ourselves lucky to have stumbled upon this film. I may have went a little overboard with the 9 out of ten but maybe because after we left the theater it was an unusually beautiful evening and a feeling of peaceful calm overwhelmed us. After thinking about the movie I still feel it deserves no less than a 7.5 out of ten.

Gets Better With Time
15 September 2023
As he's switching through the Television channels we get a glimpse at what Television was like back then. The Cigarette commercials, and The Auto Race with the classic 1950 style Automobiles. We also get to see The Old Pay Phone with the Rotary Dial that cost a nickel for a local call. Not to mention The Classic Radio dated from the late 1930s that today would be worth a considerable amount in premium condition and would also be nearly impossible to find parts for. We also get a feeling what it would've been like when Television was in its infancy and families huddled around listening to the Classic Old Time Radio Programs.
Act the part of an Actor
26 November 2022
I would suggest that you watch this episode if only to prove that Claude Rains was one of the all time Greatest Actors. Not only that but for the excellent storyline and the as always (Alfred Hitchcock presents) unpredictable endings. Sure the characters are for the most part unlikable as were most of the characters in the Alfred Hitchcock presents television series. Nonetheless the Acting (as with most of the Alfred Hitchcock presents television series) is superb. The original Alfred Hitchcock presents television series was one of the all time greatest television series ever Written, Produced, and Acted in the history of cinema.

This Stinks
5 September 2022
The original game show was actually about playing a competitive game. This newer version is all about how the much the Emcee and the hosts can stroke their egos. This over the top obnoxious drivel can not even be considered a game show. It's very much similar to the other recent attempts at remaking game shows. They never come anywhere near duplicating the quality of the original. Unfortunately they end up hiring some egotistical Hosts whose only objective is a failed attempt at humor. None of the new Sunday night game shows come anywhere near the quality of the original series. ABC, NBC, & CBS all need to find something original with quality talent instead of these new flash in the pan unfunny egotistical Host & Hostesses.

Hilarious
28 August 2022
Great concept for a reality Television program. The reaction from some of the unsuspecting.participants is Hilarious. I can't understand why anyone couldn't just accept the program for what it is. It's simply a magic show with unsuspecting participants. Ok maybe not all the participants are as astonished as you would want them to be. But overall in my opinion it makes for Great Television. In my opinion it is by far much better then most of the scripted Situation Comedy programs that just rehash the same old schtick over and over again. Give it a chance and I believe you will agree that there is nothing else like it.
Good episode
27 August 2022
I really enjoyed the story line. The acting was above par as it was for most of The Hitchcock series. I have always loved the unpredictable outcomes of the majority of The Hitchcock series. Although I have never been attracted to blonde haired women. Carol Linley was one of those unusually attractive women who could have dyed her hair any color and still looked gorgeous. She wasn't as great an actress as Audrey Totter but yet still believable in this role. This episode is worth watching for the story line if nothing else. The Hitchcock series is a must watch series for anyone who enjoys great writing and great acting.

Forgettable
27 August 2022
I've always loved listening to Bill Cosby album's. He always made me laugh. A sitcom was a terrible vehicle for Mr. Cosbys style of humor. In this sitcom he went for grade school type of humor. Making silly faces, and walking unusually different, all the things we did in second grade to make our friends laugh. The acting was terrible the jokes were for the most part weren't funny. I'll admit i did love the morality that the show.exudes but unfortunately not much more than that. Unfortunately I won't be looking for this in reruns. With a brilliant talent like Cool Cos. I guess I expected to much.
The Original Kings of Comedy
(2000)
Misleading Title
16 August 2022
If this movie had comedians like Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Robin Williams, Chris Rock, Rodney Dangerfield, or Dave Chappell. Only then would the title of this movie come close to The Original Kings of Comedy. This movie came no where near to being funny.
Unwatchable
9 August 2022
The only reason I gave two stars is because Jimmy does great impersonations. Unfortunately though he does not have quick wit and he let his inflated ego get the best of him. I agree this is the wrong format for Jimmy Fallon.

Just Awful
26 March 2021
A friend of mine said he liked this show so I thought I would give it a chance. It was really Awful, unfunny, unoriginal, poorly written and Acted. Later on I found out my friend was infatuated with Zooey Deschanel, a woman who I find unattractive except for her beautiful Blue eyes.
