Customer Reviews
Love it!
Doug and Karen are so much fun! I never miss an episode.
Hilarious, thorough, and loving look back on 4616
Doug and Karen crack me up. I adore how lovingly they rewatch these eps and discuss the characters and plots of this classic show. Even when they are wrong (sorry, Karen, Sydney treats Jane like crap and deserves 90% of the disdain she gets!), their hilarious passion keeps me coming back.
Their Hollywood Blvd. and the-ah-tah chatter also is on point, honest, and smart. I look forward to hearing what they think about current TV, books, plays, and even current events. Their banter is genuine and fun, and their attitudes delightful.
I can't wait to hear their assessments of future eps and seasons of Melrose, and their delightful back and forth about entertainment of all sorts.
