Sorry, this movie sucks

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Okay I am sure this series is not for some, even most, people but I like it quite a bit. The first three to four of the six seasons are pretty much based on rough football humor. Somewhere in season four they started to mix in some drama which, in my opinion, lessened the overall episodes. There are several characters that are in the entire series, although not necessarily in all 80 episodes. This series shows both good and the bad of pro football. The booze, the pills, the girls, the machinations of owners, trainers, and upper management. They do change team owners and such with out a lot of reasons around season 3-4. Why Delta Burke left in the middle of season three is never explained. I thought she did a great job in her role. One of the nice things about this show is they use real pro players at times. Usually all-pros such as Marcus Allen, Lawrence Taylor, O.J. Simpson, etc. but most of the cast may have played college ball at best. It is still a good series. There is some nudity from time to time but nothing other than breasts are exposed. So if you don't care about incidental nudity in rather limited circumstances you may enjoy the series.

In the 1980s, pay cable stations like HBO and Showtime had original programming. This is a sitcom about a wealthy divorcée, Diane Barrow, who gets her husband's football team in a scandalous divorce. Being the new team owner, she has a lot of learning too. The team is okay for now. Leslie Easterbrook is always divine and a welcome presence. This sitcom is a bit racy than television sitcoms of the time. Cable allowed more creative freedom in allowing sexual situations, language, etc., By today's standards, this show is tame. I never saw this sitcom until now. It's okay but not great! It's entertaining though! The sitcom is out on location in the football fields and other Southern California locations. Delta Burke shines here in the starring role.

"1st and Ten" was to Football what "Major League" was to Baseball. The closest thing I've seen to it since has been Arliss, which had its moments but just wasn't quite as funny as 1st and Ten. I really loved the show. It's definitely in my top ten of all time shows. (I'd still have them on tape if I had switched over my old BETA tapes to VHS in time).Granted, it was a series, but so what?! It wasn't censored! It was a really funny show, cleverly written, with some great actors, as well as having the professionals popping in.It would be so nice if it was out on DVD, or at least re-run on HBO... or any non-censored channel.

I remember watching this show on HBO back in the '80's. I could have sworn there was a recurring gay character on it, named, if I recall correctly, "Ty Taylor". I think he was played by Rick Moser. Yet I don't see such a character mentioned in the cast. I also didn't see the show listed among Rick Moser's credits. Could I have possibly imagined it? Does anybody else remember seeing a character like that on the show? If so, I'd appreciate some confirmation that I'm not crazy. As for the show itself, I always found it pretty funny and outrageous. I preferred it when Delta Burke was on. Shannon Tweed is pretty, but she isn't really a comedienne. Update: Having recently purchased the DVD of the series, it turns out that Ty Taylor WAS indeed a character, and Rick Moser is listed in the credits, though his name appears nowhere in the IMDb entry for the show among the cast & crew. The character wasn't a major one, and seemed to have been "de-gayed" by the third or forth season. Also, the show had a succession of female team owners-Delta left at the beginning of season three.
