Eh, it was ok. But the scenes with Gabe and his wife were tedious, and totally killed any momentum any episode had.

Awww come on Tom. That's part of the charm of the show.
Gabe Kaplan was pretty much a modern day Henny Youngman (even though Henny was alive at the time) and the show was a vehicle for those one-liners.
It was a light-hearted show....I think anyone would be disappointed if they expected it to be MASH or All In The Family.

MASH sucked. Sorry, but it did.

I agree....not a fan. But it was critically acclaimed so I figure I'd throw it out there.

So, after years of stops and starts, the FULL SERIES of THE STATE hits DVD this July. Happy Birthday to me!
Clocking in at 5 discs and over 10 hours worth of footage, this is a gold mine, and one of those Holy Grails I have been frustrated has not made release. Now my big bane is the Adam West Batman series.
Anyway, although a lot of the music beds were changed due to rights issues, look for the State this summer!

So, with Jeopardy on summer haitus, we started watching Family Fued for our evening game-show grab. This led me to check for some DVDs of the Fued, and I stumbled upon this gem....which is available for under TWO DOLLARS NEW from some dealers on Amazon! Mine is now in the mail. Product Description"Let's Play the Feud" Richard Dawson is the original and best host of the FAMILY FEUD during it's almost thirty year run on television and this collection of episodes feature some of the best episodes featuring movie and television stars. In 1978, while Feud was the number one game show on daytime television, ABC started producing primetime specials. Each one-hour show featured five members of a cast of a television series competing for charity. The show also had special theme weeks where stars played for five days either on the daytime show or the syndicate show.
Shows include: Adventure Heroines vs. Adventure Heroes Brady Bunch, Your Hit Parade, Petticoat Junction, Leave It to Beaver Love Boat vs. WKRP & Soap vs. Real People Hollywood Walk of Fame Special Love Boat vs. Eight is Enough & Family vs. What's Happening Heroes vs. Villians Dallas vs. Eight is Enough & One Day at A Time vs. Benson Soap, All My Children, Eight is Enough, General Hospital Dallas, It's A Living, The Jeffersons, Dukes of Hazzard The Ropers, Angie, Dukes of Hazzard, The Waltons Love Boat vs. Eight is Enough & Soap vs. Three's Company Barney Miller vs. Eight is Enough & Welcome Back Kotter vs. Soap Eight is Enough vs Family & Welcome Back Kotter vs. Love Boat Gilligan's Island vs. Hawaiian Eye Battle of the Perfect 10s.  |

This might be worth a buy.

Oh my GOD...I couldn't think of a DVD more unworthy of purchasing.

Showtime's "The United States of Tara"
Premise seemed interesting. Wife, mother of two, career woman who suffers from multiple personality disorder, has gone off her meds causing her alter-egos to make regular appearances...and the shenanigans ensue.
After 2 episodes, I've sent season 1 back to Netflix.
thumbs down.
