I can see the Ollywoo sign!.....

Advantages: As funny as friends
Disadvantages: /

...are making another one?!) of Joey a few months ago as it was cheap (I love a bargain!) and was an avid Friends fan so thought I would probably enjoy it. Several people and reviews in newspapers etc said that it was a rubbish spin off, nothing like friends (thought that was kind of the idea? Anway...) but I must say i disagree with them all. I thought it was absolutely fantastic and as funny as Friends (If not funnier because I hadn't seen the episodes ...
...role as charming and still-single Joey Tribbiani, who has struck out on his own and moved to Hollywood, hoping to truly make it as an actor. Joey says goodbye to a time when his friends were his family and welcomes the chance to turn his family into friends. After reuniting with his highly-strung sister Gina, a strong and sexy hairdresser (who has just had a boob job and makes Joey feel them in the car!), Joey shares an apartment with her genius ...

Review of Joey

USA Bye

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Loads

God, this show is awful. The show follows a mix of American Students, one English and one Dutch as they study (always studying!) in a high school in France. The jokes are just Three Stooges imitations so you can imagine banana peels and custard pies all over the place. Of course, at the end, there is always a very serious moral message that is sent out to the teenage kids who watch the show. Pathetic! The jokes are really bad, and the characters ...

Review of Channel 5 - USA High

Hello Wisconsin

Advantages: Witty, very funny, and well thought out.
Disadvantages: None

Crank up the 8-track and flash back to a time when platforms and puka shellsuits were all the rage. For Eric, Kelso, Jackie, Hyde, Donna and Fez, a group of high school teens who spend all their time hanging in Eric’s basement, life in the 70’ wasn’t always groovy. Between trying to figure the meaning of their lives, trying to avoid Donnas freaky parents or Eric’s hard-ass father Red and dealing with out of control hormones, they’ve learned one ...
...get by with the help of their friends. Main Cast - Topher Grace ( Eric Forman) - Eric is the boy next door that is overprotected by his mother but not by his father but still manages to do the right thing by his girlfriend, family and friends. Laura Prepon ( Donna Pinciotti) - Donna The girl next door, Eric’s girlfriend who has freaky parents to guide her through her teens. Ashton Kutcher ( Michael Kelso) - Kelso The vain, dim witted fool who ...

Review of Channel 5 - That '70s Show

What went so terribly wrong??

Advantages: funny, good guests, similar format to radio programme
Disadvantages: changed presenters then got axed from our screens!

I know it seems strange writing a review on a television programme that got axed a while ago, but hope one day a show with a similar format will return. Now, most people know of Chris Moyles as the either very funny or extremely arrogant disc jockey on Radio 1. Seems people either love his style or hate it. Since January 2004 his radio show has been promoted from afternoons to breakfasts. In 2002-2003 Channel 5 aired the programme 'Live...with Chris ...
...of the jokes on the radio, but complimented his unique style and off-the-cuff humour. The programme featured many shakey camera moments and the occasional hiccup expected from "live" shows, which added to the laddish nature of the show! One particular issue that was raised on the show, a few weeks before Christmas, followed a turkey from chick to adult. Inevitably, the aim was for Chris to eat it on the show before Christmas. Due to a phone vote ...

Review of Live...With Chris Moyles

Daria Rawks

Advantages: Witty
Disadvantages: Occasionally loses its way

...Daria is usally aired on Channel 5 at about 1700 at the weekend and on MTV during the day. If you have never seen Daria you should definitely check it out and even if you dxon't enjoy it immediately keep watching as you should get into it after a while. If not you risk missing out on the best humour the Americans can provide. ...
