Loved this show when it first was on.

I loved this show when it first was on and just started rewatching it on ROKU. One thing I enjoy is watching the now classic cars, like the 2 Mach 1s you can see through the bus windshield in the opening scene.

At just about the half way mark in Season 1 Episode 1 I noticed Jim's iconic Firebird but it was the 1978 Esprit Firebird, not the 1974 one he should have been driving. I'm not sure if there was some editing done decades after the original show or this is proof of time travel (Man that Jim Rockford could do it all) but I found it very odd. Not sure if it's the same on a platform other than Roku.

How low would you go to make a dollar

A group of unlikable heroes join forces against a group of unlikable villains. Filled with bad song and yawn worthy yet minimalist back stories; a troupe of high school drama students.... I mean fine actors bring to life the story of Boredom, Quest For A Plot.

I mean, was I the only one rooting for the centipede creature to kill them all?

On a bright side, the dwarfs hammer was the outbreak character of this otherwise debacle of a story. I just wish she was used to knock the other 7 TF out.

It's like a Looney Tunes live action movie but without things like quality writing and an actually storyline one can follow.

The Boonies (2016)
3/10
Misleading at best

Warning: Spoilers
Living on an island with an airport, stores and 600 permanent residence is not off grid. McDonough's Market is closer to him than going to Garden Island. There's a reason his neighbor is tge last logger on the island. Most of the land has been bought for vacation homes. As for the big storm, 35 mph winds? Really? Move to South Dakota and that's called any given day. As they showed 1 fallen tree from the storm, a chainsaw cut is clearly seen and is obviously the means for the tree coming down. So bad at bow fishing, they stopped showing it.

Voted most likely to hook his fishing buddy before an actual fish.

The tree dwellers are thieves. Going through and taking items from the other plot of land that someone had started building on is stealing. And he gets all upset that someone else might be living in his woods. Get over yourself dude.

They look like they were voted most likely to have eaten the missing hikers.

Arkansas mole man. He hides stuff deep in multiple caves that flood. How does that make sense? When getting the wood to build his bridge, he pulls boards off a dilapidated shed. The boards had nice shiny nails and were nailed into new furring strips. Completely staged.

This guy was voted most likely to know where the bodies are buried.

Mountain man. I like this guy and he truly lives in a sparsely populated area. One big thing is how he was tethering his horses by the leg or foot. That's bad animal husbandry and likely what caused the injury to his pack horse.

Voted most likely to be boycotted by PETA.

The Rookie: Feds (2022–2023)
3/10
As hard hitting as a nerf gun.
6 November 2022
Where to start. We have 2 people that would never be selected for mall security much lest the FBI. Neither are very likeable and their training agents have so much baggage that it detracts from what little the show offers. Drawing on past experiences is one thing... having to listen to how the smell of a high school locker room could compare to the decomposing bodies in a morgue or being able to profile everything because you figured out what's on a 16 year old boys mind gets old fast. The unorganic way that social issues pop into the show make it feel more like an infomercial for the cause of the day. All in all, simply a poor spinoff.
