Bone The Fish - Most Recent Comments!

Who said you can't coin your own term? What is "Boning the Fish"? It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite TV Show, Celebrity, Movie Series or Music Group has reached its peak. That instant you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some call it a climax of sorts. We call it "Boning the fish". From that moment on things will simply never be the same.

CSI NY - TV Shows
Funny, is exactly the other way around with me...I never really got into the original show (I cringe everytime I see the female "actors" and the males are barely better), CSI Miami was even worse (there the actors looked even more like they came out of a fashion catalogue) but CSI NY captured me from the start. Good actors (especially Sinisi)who actually looked somewhat normal, crazy cases with even more crazy solutitions - I can't get enough of this Spin off. -- Submitted By: (Swanpride) on September 6, 2009, 5:01 am

I really don't get why I liked a show where the car was a better actor then the main character, and predictably the car did a jump before every break (well, I liked The dukes of Hazard, too) but somehow it worked for me...at least until they used the stupid doppelganger-plot (twice!). -- Submitted By: (Swanpride) on September 5, 2009, 7:25 pm

Zoom - TV Shows
I watched it when it was first on for the whole First Incarnation and, even as a kid, I thought it had WAY too much singing. Also, in the beginning, the kids showed their real personalities a lot more but by the end of the original incarnation, they were acting on-camera even during non-skit/singing times as though they were all as chummy as "The Brady Bunch". I remember when they wrapped it up (the final time?), one kid actually differed from the others and admitted that he was friends with the CREW rather than any of the other cast members. I was amazed they let that candor slip by- but, of course, the whole cast ended that show with them (you guessed it!) singing 'Everyone's Gotta Have Friends La-La-La-La-La'. Still, the show was fun when it was fun- and I liked how they showed other kids' original crafts that you could get mailed instructions for via sending the show a postcard (yep, I STILL remember the original P.O. Box and Zip Codes but I'll spare the current holder of that post office box from getting needless cards by not mentioning it here). I also liked many of the interviews with other real kids (e.g. I've often wondered what became of one kid whose family was shown in the process of leaving their Illinois(?)farm that had gotten flooded out by the Mississippi [early 1970's] and that clip ended with them all sadly driving away from the now-ruined farm and farmhouse that had been in their family for over 100 years- to a very sad harmonica rendition of 'Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme'). Also, I liked the segment 'Tracy Talks' in which one of the Originals voiced her POV about current events. I don't remember anything Tracy talked about but, as a kid, I liked seeing another kid who was actually keeping up with the surrounding world and had opinions! Lastly, after one kid-produced segment which showed vegetables bemoaning being tossed into the garbage disposal uneaten, my father actually started to insist I eat my vegetables from that point on. I wasn't happy when that happened but now I'm somewhat grateful that I learned to like eating healthy foods besides apple sauce via that skit! Kids today need to have skits like that to seek to eat healthy foods instead of chain junk if our nation is to prevent 1/3 of the kids born after 2000 to get diagnosed with diabetes (one current forecast) and it should also be noted that 60 percent of all diabetics lose their eyesight [yes, SIXTY PERCENT!]. Do the math and see if you don't think THAT wouldn't have major repercussions for our nation's future! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on September 5, 2009, 11:48 am

It jumped with the whole Tritter storyline...the whole thing was so idiotic! Why didn't they simply trew the detective out of the hospital?

Seinfeld - TV Shows
I like the Heaven/Hell ending theory. And Dolfan, you're right about them not stopping the guy...I don't expect any average Joe to stop an armed mugger (it's SUICIDE!). But the thing is, even though they caught the incident on tape, their motive for doing so was selfish and cruel. It wasn't to get evidence, it was to enjoy watching the guy get mugged and to laugh at his weight. On top of which, they didn't help him at all after the attack (even after the mugger was long gone). They just leave. No asking if he's all right, no providing information to the cops, nothing. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on August 31, 2009, 12:43 pm

BTW Robert, the fact that Kramer records the incident on tape is actually HELPFUL to the cops, since they'd now be able to see the crime and who's perpetrating it. Furthermore charging across the street to stop an armed robber is about as stupid as one can be. Even with my afterlife theory the gang being arrested for not helping still makes absolutely no sense. -- Submitted By: (DolFan316) on August 30, 2009, 5:37 pm

Seinfeld - TV Shows
Still watch every Seinfeld rerun I have time for, because even an episode I've already seen 15 times is better than 99% of new stuff on TV. I saw a theory about the finale online years ago (not my own) that makes sense to me. When Kramer jumps up and down on the private plane he causes it to crash and they all die. What we see for the rest of the show is their afterlife. The whole courtroom scene is the gang literally being judged on their worthiness for heaven--or hell. In the end they get sent down below, and "hell" for them is having to spend an eternity in the same jail with each other. Of course that doesn't make it right but it does put a different and maybe more explainable context on things. -- Submitted By: (DolFan316) on August 30, 2009, 5:34 pm

That '70s Show - TV Shows
Back in the good old days of the Site Which Shall Not Be Named, someone had made a brilliant comment regarding the character development of That 70s Show, and why the show should have ended with its 5th season. Since no one here has commented on Red's Heart Attack yet, I'll try to recreate those long-lost comments here. Up until the second-to-last episode of Season 5, That 70s Show had been a story about growing up. Most of this growth happened from the point of view of Eric Foreman, with the Eric/Donna relationship as a focal point, but the coming-of-age theme was true of the other characters as well. In Season 1, Eric was a timid, nervous geek who couldn't get the girl or stand up to his father. He had no idea what he wanted to do with his life (aside from sitting in the circle). But by Season 5, Eric was a (more) confident geek; he was able to stand up to his father and eventually earn his respect; and even though the path was rocky, he eventually got the girl and had learned many lessons about relationships along the way. By Season 5, Eric was planning to go to college. He and Donna were going to find a life together, leaving their small town behind to experience the world, come what may. Other characters were growing up too. Season 5 saw Fez finally lose his virginity with his DMV co-worker; Kelso finally got smart and realized he didn't want to be with Jackie anymore, because of her constant put-downs; when Hyde and Jackie got together, Hyde became more committed, and Jackie less superficial. And they were all (except for Jackie) getting ready to graduate. That should've been where the show ended. Granted, That 70s Show had already officially Boned by Season 4 (musical episode, anyone?), but the show itself was still salvageable. Had it ended with "Celebration Day", had Eric and Donna gone off into the sunset and the other four characters gone their separate ways, the show could have left the airways with some modicum of dignity. But noooooo..... the network just had to intervene. You see, That 70s Show was a ratings extravaganza, so why stop it there? Enter Red's Heart Attack. The "perfect" excuse to keep Eric and Donna down on the farm and stunt their growth, and keep "the gang" together in truly contrived style. Eric became a lout; gone were his college plans, and by the end of Season 6, gone was his commitment to Donna when he ditched his own wedding. Before that moment, Eric had always been a bit of a loser, but always a loveable loser, and someone with redeeming qualities. But by Season 7, I truly began to dislike his character, and I think that it is this event (and not Topher's departure) that put the final nail in the 70s Show coffin. Eric Foreman was the keystone of show; if you didn't sympathize with him, there was no point. And with his character ruined, everything else fell apart. Donna went from being a worldly college-bound woman to a 2-dimensional girl (all blondeness aside); Fez went from comically naive to perverted; Kelso... Shannon Elizabeth's baby-daddy? Really?; Hyde became the proud owner of a record store (uh-oh... New Setting); Jackie went to work for a Mary Tyler Moore... nuff said. Of course I could go on about Randy, and about the way the authenticity of the 70s era sets and wardrobes began to slip, but that would be beside the point. After they graduated from high school, the coming-of-age arc was complete, and the show was creatively finished. Seasons 6 through 8 are a painful testament to that fact. I can't say for sure whether or not Fox requested that the writers change the end of Season 5, but it wouldn't surprise me, because Red's Heart Attack feels so tacked-on. The moral of this story is, creativity is far more important than longevity. Let the story end when it has to. -- Submitted By: (Strenikstund) on August 29, 2009, 10:59 pm

Frosty Returns. What an awful, awful sequel to a classic show. The animation looked bad, the villain sucked, he and his cat looked horribly done, and the plot was crap. I expected to see a story about CHRISTMAS! Or a virtue, like sharing, kindness, or giving to those in need. What do we get here instead? How about a bunch of idiots spraying aerosol all over the place because they hate snow, thus making them a bunch of "Grinches" who are, essentially, stealing Christmas? Add in the fact that Frosty was not voiced by Jackie Vernon as he was in the other Frosty shows (I know, I know, the reason for that was Vernon having died before Frosty Returns was released), and did I mention the continuity errors? -- Submitted By: (Robert) on August 28, 2009, 1:12 pm

Irony of bitter ironies was that at first the cast and crew actually thought Mr. Foxx was doing his Sanford impression when he was actually having his fatal heart attack. Then they later tried to salvage the mess by bringing in 227's Jackee in as, first Victoria's (Della Reese's) much younger sister- then ,after they decided it was too cumbersome to have to have the characters explain the relationship, they made Jackee's character Victoria's prodigal DAUGHTER (previously the daughter who had moved back into her parents' house after her divorce with her children that had triggered the original premise,had been Al and Victoria's only child).

All That - TV Shows
Those early seasons with the original cast were the best. They were written by real actors and it wasn't kids trying to pass off fart jokes and silly names that sound like poop as comedy. The crazy and diverse characters of Josh Server, the dynamic of Kenan and Kel, Lori Beth Denberg hosting the iconic Vital Information, Kevin Koppelow as the stage manager, and I didn't even mind when Amanda Bynes joined and did Ask Ashley. She was funny enough. It got a little tougher after that when original cast members really began to leave. Danny Tamborelli (from Pete and Pete) was the last new cast member I could tolerate. He was funny enough too. I think the show was already on a downhill slope after him, as he played too many similar characters to Server. But the re-vamp with the new cast and changing its format and framework and then, the biggest insult, trying to redo the Good Burger sketch, was it for me. Don't even mention to me that Jamie Lynn Spears spent time on the show. -- Submitted By: (SamuraiPanda201) on August 24, 2009, 1:37 pm

Could JoeBagODonuts possibly be SmartBoy from the old website? Smartboy went off when people didn't like someone he liked.

Of the two "guy surviving wilderness" shows on Discovery, I prefer Survivorman over Man vs. Wild. Survivorman comes off as more realistic and less contrived, and I like Les's style better than Bear's. But to give Man vs. Wild due credit, it's pretty good and hasn't really had a BTF moment. Also -- and more importantly -- in a survival situation, you'd be worse off being alone than having EITHER Bear or Les out there with you. They both know what they're about, even though Bear sometimes seems to favor flair over realism. Les rocks better, but Bear still rocks. -- Submitted By: (Mythigator) on August 20, 2009, 6:03 pm

Carter was addicted to painkillers, then was totally manipulated by that Kim chick he hooked up with in Africa, who never treated him right. Benton had anger issues. Weaver couldn't decide if she liked men or women. Romano was borderline sociopathic. Luca made the mistake of marrying Abby. The only characters who stayed through the duration and were normal were the nurses. -- Submitted By: (Stephanie) on August 20, 2009, 2:32 pm

This show was not on for very long. It was mildly entertaining, but the the kids were so annoying. The son was your typical stupid jock and the daughter was an unbearable bitch. In all, a pretty forgettable sitcom. -- Submitted By: (MCS) on August 19, 2009, 11:39 am

Wonder Woman - TV Shows
Wonder Woman boned in Season 3. It strayed from its original concept to the point where it got just plain weird. You can make a good case for the episode guest-starring Dawn Lyn being the tipping point, since it was the first episode of the third season. But the blame for the show's demise is more properly placed on the writers, not on Ms. Lyn, no matter HOW sucky or freaky her guest appearance was. I remember this episode, and she did indeed suck. At the time, I had no idea that Leif Garrett was her real-life brother. After the fact, though, it does explain why their acting (Lyn's and Garrett's) came off as so wooden and why something just seemed off. All the same, though: The blame for Wonder Woman going BTF belongs to the writers, with an extra portion going to whomever decided to cast Lyn and Garrett. -- Submitted By: (Mythigator) on August 18, 2009, 10:57 pm

Housecat Housecall - TV Shows
This show is pretty good, and shouldn't bone as long as it sticks to its format (helping cats and their humans live together harmoniously) and doesn't get sidetracked onto anything else. It looks like the show's creators actually understand the importance of not getting sidetracked: I saw an episode with a segment that featured Peter Weller (of Robocop fame) and they referred to him only as an "Actor" -- and as Peter the cat owner, of course. The segment never even mentioned Robocop or anything else Weller's been in, staying on topic rather than getting caught up in Weller's celebrity status. Nicely done! -- Submitted By: (Mythigator) on August 18, 2009, 10:22 pm

Keeping Up Appearances - TV Shows
Actually, I thought it improved when the First Rose(Stella Stelfox) got replaced by Mary Millar because Stella played her with an underlying melancholy so that when First Rose threatened to kill herself- the audience had no choice but to believe her. Mary Millar, though, played Rose as someone who PRETENDED to be a drama queen but was, in reality, a flighty romantic despite her rather depressing situation of being middle aged and having to live with the sloppy layabouts Daisy+ Onslow with their 'dirty old man' Daddy in residence. Rose was funny in that her room looked like Marilyn Munster's spotless room compared to the rest of the 'council house' hovel. Also, it was interesting how she and Hyacinth were actually somewhat alike- they were desperate to escape from their humble origins but had mixed success. Rose did it via her vamping it up with revolving boyfriends even if she still lived at home while Hyacinth did it by being a hopelessly incompetent social climber who fooled NO ONE.("It's the BUCKET WOMAN!"- was a frequent cry when she appeared and others were desperate to escape her). Ironically, the sister Violet who'd escaped the humble origins the most by marrying wealth was the one who was the most consistantly unhappy with her life whereas the one sister who'd never considered herself to be anything but humble (Daisy) was easily the most content, friendliest and happiest of the four. The only problem with the series was that Hyacinth's neighbor Elizabeth's brother Emmett got a bit tiresome in his cringing over Hyacinth's presence- yet never considered moving away from his sister's house even after he become gainfully employed. Also, the Vicar's Wife got annoying imagining that her husband was ready to foresake his vows at a moment's notice to any friendly female around- even one like Rose who was clearly a generation older than he! Still, it was a fun series and sometimes viewers were treated to Hyacinth (and Elizabeth) doing complicated physical comedy seldom seen in women performers since Lucille Ball's heyday! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on August 18, 2009, 4:42 pm

Home Improvement - TV Shows
This show was good for the most part. I would consider it a defining show of the 90s, along with "The Simpsons", "Friends", and the "X-Files." I can't speak for the "X-Files" since I never watched, but the other two had some spectacular falls. "Home Improvement" was no exception, but I think they did cancel this before it became unwatchable like "Friends" and "The Simpsons." With the exception of Randy's cancer scare earlier, the boning all occurred in the last season. That was Jill dreaming of having an affair, Brad doing drugs, and Mark becoming goth. Luckily they ended the show then and finished with a misstep, whereas "Friends" finished at the bottom and "The Simpsons" has been on ten years after it died. -- Submitted By: (MCS) on August 18, 2009, 4:09 pm

Courtship of Eddie's Father, The - TV Shows
Anyone else get the idea that the show ended just in time? As soon as the kid hit puberty, he likely would have been totally out of control because his father had never attempted to really set any rules when he was growing up- just tried to be his 'best friend'. Another 70's parenting approach that's proven disasterous for two generations so far. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on August 17, 2009, 4:54 pm

Small Wonder - TV Shows
Oh man, I HATED Small Wonder. I was 16 years old in 1985 when it debuted, and I grew up in the 1970s watching all sorts of real classic, CLASSIC tv shows (The Andy Griffith Show, Get Smart, Green Acres, Bewitched, etc., etc. Too many to mention). But by the 1980s, they were taking those classic tv shows off of the free airwaves and replacing them with more recent fare and new syndicated programs like this one. I resented Small Wonder not just because of its insipidness (how it managed to survive for 4 seasons, I'll never know), but because it, among other original syndicated programs ("The Munsters Today", and "The New Gidget" are a couple of other insipid examples that come to mind), was used to replace all those good true classic shows I used to grow up watching. -- Submitted By: (bmovies) on August 17, 2009, 9:59 am

I know that it was far from a 'family show' but I didn't like how barely a thought was given to how his small child who'd witnessed her mother's murder was being cared for after he got shot or joined the Navy!

Saw for the first time in decades on a site that rhymes with 'Few Moob' and now I understand why the 'episodes' lasted only four minutes- they were BORING! I mean, the only funny part was the beginning when the backfiring scooter jolted the dog in the air. Even 'Romper Room' seemed more fun than this! I guess they were custom made for us Baby Boomer proto-rug rats' attention span. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on August 17, 2009, 9:12 am

Small Wonder - TV Shows
This show was doomed from the start because reality wouldn't suit the premise. Meaning, a robot is not going to grow up but a kid actor will. The creators had to know this. That's why I'm convinced this show wasn't meant to succeed. It was probably just a huge money laundering operation run by the mob. An image burned into my brain from that show-- the dad had to reconstruct the little robot girl for some reason. So in one scene he had her all taken apart limb by limb with her body part lying in a suitcase. That's just creepy. -- Submitted By: (ats3717) on August 16, 2009, 8:10 pm

Family Matters - TV Shows
I remember watching this when I was 11 when it was just starting and it seemed like a normal sitcom about a family in Chicago. I continued to watch it throughout middle school, not as my favorite show or anything, but just because it was on Friday nights and nothing else was. Then one day when I was in high school a commercial for an upcoming episode in which Urkle and Carl get shrunk and are being chased by a cat flashed and I had a moment of awakening-- "what the hell became of this show?" The progression was so subtle it was like losing your hair. Thinking back I guess the Urkle rap and him flying off of on an episode of Family Matters with a jetpack and landing on Step by Step sealed the show's fate. Although I did like the Family Matters meets Full House crossover. Urkle interacting with Uncle Jesse was like Superman meeting Batman only totally not as cool. (In fact, Warner Bros. should sue me for making such a comparison) I just had a realization...if Family Matters was able to meet Full House that meant they were in the same world. So all the crazy sci-fi stuff that happened on Family Matters was happening in the Full House world and it was thus possible for Uncle Jesse and Uncle Joey to get shrunk and chased by the dog. My head hurts. -- Submitted By: (ats3717) on August 16, 2009, 7:54 pm

Carol Burnett and Friends - TV Shows
My fave 'Family' skit had to do when it was Mama's birthday and right after Ellen gave Mama a mink coat, Eunice eagerly unwrapped off HER gift to Mama- a fly swatter. "It makes a GREAT converSAtion piece!" Between Mama's disgusted face and Eunice dumbly prattling on about her gift's 'virtues'(that did NOT include being able to kill flies), I couldn't stop laughing. Of course, Mama killed me when (after the inevitable family war started by Eunice), Mama dissed Eunice by saying "Eunice, I hope I never got so old and decrepit that I have to have a bunch of strangers standing in my kitchen with nothing better to do than talk about fly swatters!" Oh, yeah, and Carol Burnett doing the Scarlett bit (complete with curtain rod) was a side-splitter! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on August 16, 2009, 2:40 pm
