A couple have been watchable, without being brilliant. A lot were just guff. What I like about this one is they don't really tell you anything about the family. You don't even know their names. Sometimes the unknown is scarier and more sinister. I don't think he was supposed to be sympathetic. He was meant to be annoying. I think Carey was perfectly cast as Lloyd. I don't really see anybody else as playing him. She was about to give him her number, but then changed her mind when witnessing his buffoonery. The second time she appeared, she wasn't actually accusing him of not calling. She was just introducing herself, or giving herself a big reveal, in a glib way. Instead of saying; "Hey, Harry. Yeah, it's me. The woman from the gas station who nearly gave you her number. Guess what? I'm involved in all of this...." They're not all like Columbo, where you see the murder straight away, and then Columbo turns up to solve it. Very Slight Spoilers. Sometimes it's really obvious who committed the murder, and it's more about Monk solving it. Other times, you don't find out who did it until the end. It's a very unusual case, and only Monk has the capablities to solve it. I like both Monk and Columbo, so I say go for it. As a child? Yes. The campy humour of it was a bit wasted on me, because I just enjoyed the adventure element of it. Obviously, watching it as an adult, you can see a lot of it was very tounge in cheek. But, in my opinion, that makes it more enjoyable. Sometimes it's better to end a show without a proper ending. Shows that build to a specific ending often disappoint. Especially if the ending wasn't what you're expecting or wanting. And a show like this doesn't really need an ending. What would they have done? Killing off Batman And Robin was out of the question. So, what else could you do? Have Batman retire and pass the baton over to Robin? Probably better to not have a specific end, and know that B&R are still out there defending the Gotham City. Besides, the show felt like it was getting a bit stale towards the end. Getting rid of the cliffhanger endings didn't help, because they were the best bit of it. Introducing Batgirl, and having one-episode story felt like it made the story too cluttered. Especially when they had more than one villain per episode. Originally, the movie was supposed to end with Nancy waking up to find everybody alive, and realising the whole thing had been a dream. The Nightmare On Elm Street was supposed to be that Nancy had a nightmare about a dream stalker called Fred Krueger, who didn't actually exist. He was completely fictitious in her nightmare. The studio changed the script slightly, so there was the opportunity for a sequel. So, what we ended on was a tacked on ending, where Freddy inexplicably came back to life, killed Nancy's mother, and drove Nancy and her friends off to an undetermined fate. If you had the ending the way it was originally scripted, it makes sense that Freddy's powers were slightly inconistent, because that's how dreams are. Inconsistent and illogical. The ending we got, didn't make much sense in the context of the story, and made Nancy turning her back on Freddy meaningless. Sometimes, people who are called Edward have their name shortened to Ted as well. So, techinically his name could be Edward Theodore Logan. I didn't find them annoying. Yes, neither of them were Super Geniuses, but they weren't pretending to be. You didn't see them being unkind or malicious towards anybody. In fact, they seemed to react to most things with joy. And were actually quite kind, in their own way. View all replies >
