Let's be realistic.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Every time I see a clock tower apartment on TV, usually on a real estate program, it reminds me of this great show. It made me want to live in one, I died when I saw a huge 4 clock tower penthouse on Selling New York, all glass with a glass elevator taking up the whole floor. I don't know why but this show made me wish to live in a clock tower with a spectacular view. I have a great view, but if I could remodel and money wasn't a problem, I would build my own space with a clock with a window seat.The clock took me in, the show itself, when it wasn't being manipulated by NBC, was comedic genius, kept me there, I was sorry to see it go.

This was a great show, witty dialogue, funny characters, and a great cast. I really liked seeing Sharon Lawrence in this comedic role. The show was so much better then all the other new NBC shows of the time. I was very upset/surprised when it was canceled.

"Fired Up" started off slow but like many tv shows, it got better as it went along. There were some wildly funny parodies of other shows (such as "Mission Impossible"), some hilarious send-ups of movie cliches (the "High Noon" moments in the ep entitled "Mr. New York") and a lot of funny, original notions. The series deserved better than got. The acting was excellent. Special kudos, big-time, to Leah Remini as the ultra-competent secretary, and Jonathan Banks as the mysterious bartender Guy Mann. Not to mention some outlandish guest-stars like John De Lancie. I wish the series had lasted longer.

This was an okay tv show. Not the best tv show NBC ever turned out (Seinfeld) but certainly not the worst (Suddenly Susan). In my opinion, the show was to short lived. Despite some imperfections, it was a good show. It was good actors and good writing. The only wrong with it, was it's timeslot. Yes, the competition killed it. Unfortunate.
