Reno 911! (2003)
Can't stop laughing!
This show is a Comedy Central classic! The characters were well picked and have great comedic timing and chemistry. I love some of the outrageous situations they get themselves into. This is definitely a great parody of the show Cops. It's so much fun to watch and so entertaining! They even have a lot of cameos in the show by established actors and actresses. This is one of my feel good go to shows for sure! If you haven't already seen it, you got to check it out. I ended up purchasing all the seasons through Amazon prime and I have no regrets. I can watch this show over and over again and still laugh like I was watching it for the first time.
Conan Without Borders (2019)
If you're a fan of Conan, you will love this series!
I found the series to be delightful and informative! I of course I'm a fan of Conan O'Brien. He uses his comedic talent to intermingle with the residents of these different countries. It's a great way to learn about culture, and if you know Conan, he's always got a trick up his sleeve! He does a lot of engaging in the traditions of each country and you also get a little bit of a history lesson. I found it to be entertaining and fun. Although in some of these countries, there are some serious issues going on, Conan keeps it light and keeps you laughing.
Anyone that appreciates culture and the comedy of Conan O'Brien will enjoy this series.
GameFace (2017)
Great British comedy!
I started watching this series and fell in love with it! I love the main character and all the quirky situation she gets into. I'm also a big fan of British comedy. I believe I only got through a few episodes, and stopped watching it for some reason. Now I'm trying to find where I can stream it in the US. I'm only seeing that it's available in the UK. I barely got through the first season, and now I think it's on the third season. Hulu used to have this on their streaming services but for some reason they took it off. Please bring it back! How are people in the US watching this show? I'm having a hard time finding somewhere to continue my binge.
Secrets of Penthouse: The Pornographer (2023)
From art to porn
In this episode, A&E explores the pornography side of Penthouse Magazine. With the introduction of the 80s and the Reagan administration, feminist and conservatives alike started to attack magazines like Playboy and Penthouse. Since this was before the Internet, magazine sales were essential to the profits of Penthouse. Bob Guccione finds himself at the center of a cultural/religious movement, that drastically affected his business. He decides to invest in the production of an erotic film called Caligula. It was an absolute flop. More money down the drain. I think this man would've been happy to stay in the 70s. It didn't seem like he was adjusting well to a changing market.
Secrets of Penthouse: The Visionary (2023)
Seems like a good businessman... in the beginning
Bob Guccione provided a product that he knew would sell. Watching Playboy's success and as a natural artist with an eye for talent, he pushes the envelope just a little to give men a peek into what he believes they really want to see. And surprisingly, it was a family run business. Much different than Playboy's business model. In the beginning, Bob Guccione had much success with his publication of his magazine Penthouse. He was also an art lover, and had many original pieces in his mansion. Although I would not credit him with the type of success that Hugh Hefner had, I do believe his choice to publish Penthouse magazine was a bold, but wise decision.
Secrets of Penthouse (2023)
Cautionary tale about fortune and fame!
This series explores, Bob Guccione's rise to fame and fortune and the complications that arose in his business and family.
This is an inside look as Bob Guccione develops Penthouse Magazine , and the fortunes he made, and the fortunes he lost by making bad business decisions.
It shows his greed and extravagant living, almost ridiculous at times. He had delusions of grandeur that affected the projects he chose to invest in. As Bob Guccione continues to do things his way, it eventually puts a strain not only on his finances, but his children as well. It's kind of a cautionary tale. Not all is what it seems. On the inside of this man's life , things were starting to come apart at the seams. This is a great example of how money does not buy happiness.
The Disappearance of: Natalee Holloway (2017)
A decent series for true crime fans
The series follows, Dave Holloway, Natalee Holloway's father in his search to find his daughter. He teams up with a private investigator to try to uncover what the Aruban police couldn't or wouldn't do to help the case. Dave Holloway and his team chase some false leads and have a difficult time trying to get an arrest. I personally found this to be heartbreaking, watching her father gain hope then losing it again. Nonetheless, the team keeps going. They do surveillance on a new lead. They even handover all the evidence they collected during the years to the Aruban police, hoping that they'll bring a suspect in for questioning at the very least. After watching this series, it is my consensus that the Aruban police are involved in a cover-up. Dave Holloway seems to be left with more questions than answers. As a true crime fan I enjoyed watching the process of all the behind-the-scenes investigating. This show definitely has a lot of ups and downs and keeps you interested. Unfortunately, it still leaves my head scratching which is very unsatisfying and frustrating.
Banged Up Abroad (2007)
One of the most compelling series on the National Geographic channel!
This television series is about people that have traveled to foreign countries for various reasons, and have ended up in prison. Each episode generally starts off with an individual explaining how, and why they ended up going abroad. It has real people explaining real stories. The series has reenactments as the person is talking about the events. The way this series is put together really makes you feel like you were there. National Geographic does an amazing job of adding a human element to these narrative stories. It touches on subjects like drug smuggling, kidnapping, gun running, and even journalists at the wrong place at the wrong time. It gives insight to different countries, laws, or lack of laws, and paints a picture of both human endurance and suffering. Absolutely engaging.
Love & Death (2023)
One word...... boring!
If you've already seen Candy on Hulu, the series will probably bore you to death. I made it through the first episode and didn't continue. I am fascinated by the story that this is based on. I was hopeful that this series would give me some more insight about the crime. But after one episode, I didn't find it gripping at all. It was very slow moving, it just seemed to drag on. Maybe I will continue watching the rest of the series to see how it goes, but I am not hopeful that it will be as engaging as Candy was. The story itself is very interesting, I just wish they would've picked different actors and would've written the story a little differently to engage viewers.
Dr Pimple Popper (2018)
Love this show!
If you don't get grossed out easily, and you enjoy learning about skin conditions, this is a great show to watch. I am amazed by some of the things that these people suffer from. I think the show bring some insight to human suffering. Dr. Lee is excellent with her patients And does a great job at treating their ailments. To me, this show is relaxing and interesting. It might not be for everyone. I find it to be educational and entertaining. Especially on the days where I don't feel like leaving my house, I can watch some of these episodes , and relate to the patients. It gives me a different outlook on life, and makes me appreciate what I have.
