My Thoughts:
To start the marathon off... I decided to watch the first disc of 2 Broke Girls despite the fact that I recently watched the entire season set. I just find this show hilarious. And now because of this show I found myself fascinated with Kat Dennings. Looks like I have myself another favorite actress to try to collect more DVDs of. I will say that some of the jokes are a little heavy on the risque side... so the series is not for everyone... but I enjoy every second of it. My favorite episode on this disc has to be the pilot where the girls first meet each other. I definitely recommend giving it a chance.

All-Star Family Feud

Richard Dawson is the original and best host of Family Feud during it's almost thirty year run. This DVD collection includes some of the best episodes featuring movie and television stars. ABC created a number of prime time one hour specials, where celebrity players competed for charity.

Relive hours of fun and so many laughs, and become part of the family again and again!


Stars:
Richard Dawson (1932) as Himself

My Thoughts:
I felt like a blast from my past this morning. But I couldn't decide what to watch... so I thought why not watch something where I could see a lot of stars of a bunch of the old series I used to watch back in the day. I never really thought all that much of this series... was no more then a decent waste of time when nothing else was on. But I always really liked the all-star episodes like these. It actually even made the game itself more fun for me for some reason. I decided to watch the first disc in this set today... this way I got to see stars from the following series...

- Petticoat Junction
- The Brady Bunch
- Your Hit Parade
- Leave it to Beaver
- The Love Boat
- WKRP
- Soap
- Real People

As well as a a couple where the teams were from multiple series... like TV heroes vs. villains.

My Thoughts:
Let me start off by saying this is the US version... and I never seen the UK version to compare the two. With that said... I can say I enjoyed this show quite a bit. I was originally only going to watch the 2 part pilot episode for this thread... but I just couldn't stop watching till I finished the disc. I like the characters... and I like where the storyline is going. After seeing the US version my curiosity about the UK version has been peaked even more. Anyway... I would recommend this one.

Stars:

Jennifer Sky as Cleopatra/'Cleo'
Patrick Kake as Mauser

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching the first 2 episodes on this disc. No this isn't what I would call great TV... but it is none the less quite a bit of fun. That is watching it for what it is... silly, cheesy Sci-Fi fun.  One that features 3 hot women for eye candy. I decided to cut my watching short (only watched 2 episodes) mainly because I am so far behind in this marathon. Not anything to do with not enjoying it.... I could have watched a few more episodes easily enough. This is not something I would suggest for a sci-fi show to take seriously.... but if you want some cheesy fun and some eye candy then this is the ticket.

Stars:
Lisa Bonet as Denise Huxtable
Marisa Tomei as Maggie Lauten
Dawnn Lewis as Jaleesa Vinson
Jasmine Guy as Whitley Marion Gilbert
Loretta Devine as Stevie Rallen

My Thoughts:
This is a show I haven't seen in many years. One that I enjoyed quite a bit. It is a very good spin-off from The Cosby Show. One thing I like is the guest appearances of other characters from The Cosby Show. In the episodes of the first disc alone we got to see Rudy and Cliff on more then one episode... then there was Denise's grandfather Russell Huxtable. If you are a fan of The Cosby Show... and somehow never got to see this series... I definitely recommend it. I know I couldn't stop watching till I finished off the entire disc. And then felt like continue watching this season 1 set. Unfortunately none of the other seasons has been released yet.

My Thoughts:
This is a series something like Goosebumps where it is a series for kids that are in the thriller genre. But in this case instead of an anthology series we have a regular cast. A couple kids discovering and investigating all the weird happenings in the town they live in. While it is geared towards kids... there is enough here to keep an adult's attention as well.
