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.

Yeah, there was something wrong with the entire WB network and it has to do with the bad relationship WB network president Jamie Kellner and the rest of the entire WB network. Jamie's not favored on this show and that's why this show got messed up during the first half of its single season and then discontinued in the wrong time by the TV critics. Thank god, the WB network is officially shut down back in 2006.

This show is reasonable, but it needs to be rebooted in the low public cable network so it can last 1 or more seasons. Joel's current adult age should be changed from 34 to 54, this time.

I think show is the wb's best and the best of the new season. Do Over is a trip to the 80's. It's great fun for those who lived through it and those who didn't. I, like the main character, am a freshmen in high school and it's funny to see what the character's freshmen year is like as I live through mine. Plus it's a major bonus when they cast major eyecandy like Penn Badgley. All in all the show is a hilarious trip through the past.

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.

My wife and I (her 32, me 29) enjoyed the first episode of the show. It was great nostalgia of high school in the early 1980s. (Granted some of the music didn't match up with the year 1981.) But it was enjoyable. It brought the enjoyment that we thought last years "That 80s Show" would bring. Of course "That 80s Show" was horrible!!! This show, so far, is doing it right. And since we were both HUGE fans of "Freaks & Geeks", it was nice to see Cindy Sanders and Coach Fredricks in this show. Watch the show and support it...maybe for once a network will allow a good show to last!
