Dreadfully Boring
... View MoreIt's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
... View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

... View MoreThis show is mostly good. The writing was pretty good compared to other detective shows of the era and it definitely had more and better action than say Hart to Hart obviously.Great cars, good acting. Major Dad is one of the stars. Also just about the best theme song of any show ever!
... View MoreI started watching Simon & Simon when it aired in 1981 and from the very beginning I enjoyed the show, especially the shows setting in beautiful San Diego, CA.I was a 14 yr. old kid when it aired in 1981 growing up in a crime ridden area of New York City (The South Bronx).I could only dream of escaping to that beautiful sun soaked paradise I envisioned through the wonders of television as I watched episode after episode.In 1989 a year after Simon & Simon was cancelled I happily moved to beautiful San Diego, CA and could now experience what life in such a wonderful town would be like first hand.I lived in San Diego from 1989-1993 and could honestly say that those were the most memorable moments in my life, and I owe it all to the Simon & Simon T.V show for giving a teenage kid from The Bronx hope beyond the ghetto.
... View MoreThe theme song to "Simon & Simon" changed after the first season. The song in the first season had a sound I can only describe as "An American in Tijuana." The replacement theme song had a snappier rhythm, more like "Zany Times in San Diego-- Er, Los Angeles." The theme music was played at the beginning and end of each episode. At the end of the final episode for the first season, some guy actually sang lyrics, which he probably had written, to the music. I don't remember the lyrics, but there was something along the lines of "'cuz they're brothers." First and only time I've ever seen that happen on a TV show. The original theme song didn't entirely vanish. It continued to be used as a lead-in between the end of the new song and the "brought to you by..." commercial intro.
... View MoreGrowing up in the '80's was lame but Simon and Simon was funny, exciting, and had a little bit of mystery to it. The love/hate relationship sibling relationship was something many viewers could relate to. The show got kind of lame towards the end of the '80's. Just like my brother told me "they turned it into a soap opera". Whatever happened to Downtown brown? I noticed that some chick replaced him the last season or two. She wasn't a bad looker even for the '80's but she was no Town that's for sure. When I watched the reruns on A&E I notice that some details of the show are missing. I notice this more with the Magnum P.I. shows. For example When Mangnum did his weekly look into the camara or when Higgins' started remniscing on his past and the guys slowing sneek out of the room. Is it me or have they been cutting these out to show more comercials?
