Do Over

I watched this the other night, expecting it to suck. I was wrong. I actually found it relatively amusing. Everyone wants to go back and change their life and this 34-year old man, Joel, gets blasted back to be about 15, and he gets to relive his life. It's worth the watch as you remember the time that parachute pants, Devo and even Wham! were still in.

This show is just so much fun. There's no other way to put it. You don't look for accuracy, or wish fulfillment, or deep dialogue or plot.

The show reminds me of when I was in high school - the times that make me sad they're over AND the times that made me cringe. It's fun to watch just to see all the 80s references. It's the kind of fun that That 80s Show SHOULD have been (but SO WASN'T).

The storylines are good, it's fun to think of going back and having the ability to make changes. Or seeing Joel know what happens in the future to the people he knew in high school, while he's back in high school this second time around.

I only wish that it was on a major network so that more people would "fall" into it. Hopefully, it will be found, and watched, by many - so that I can keep on seeing it.

Check out this little show. You'll have fun.

This is a completely wholesome show, funny, cute, interesting, with enough twists, very likable characters and a drop of nostalgia. It's a shame that it's only 15 episodes, but it's definitely worth the watch. It's also heartwarming and very motivating. I wish more stuff like this was made.

"Do Over" is about a single 34 year old guy who ends up back in his 14 year old body reliving that part of his life. It's really funny and enjoyable to watch how he changes the past for the better. Michael Milhoan plays his macho father and he's excellent. His mother & sister are good too. So is his friend Pat Brody played by Josh Wise. Penn Badgley plays the 14 yr. old Joel Larsen and plays it just right. I hope the future episodes will be as good.

I honestly enjoyed watching this show. It was really quite amusing and I think that the concept of going back and changing your life is really great. I was very disappointed that it got canceled and that it was never really given it's fair chance. I think Joel is an adorable and honest character, i would have liked to see more of him and his family!
