It was the best of shows, it's now the worst of shows....
Unfortunately,
that can happen with well-loved episodes. You hear them once, your hear
them twice, maybe even three times in loving and open hearts. But the
fourth time....
Something
goes terribly wrong...something is awaken inside you and all of a sudden
you don't like that show anymore. I mean, with all Christian love in mind,
it can be beared but you still want to grit your teeth because the drama's
so...boring. So, my advice is, don't listen to a show to many times, even
if it's you're most favorite episode on earth.
I
wish I had taken my own advice a while back, and now maybe I wouldn't be
in such torture while listening to episodes such as "It's a
Pokenberry Christmas." Sure, it's wonderful with all the spoofs on
that old, but nice movie called "It's a Wonderful Life." Sure,
the humor works well. Even the pathetic drama slips through unharmed. It's
just boring. Plain ol' boring, 500th time heard. It still has the
occasional thing that works, but not like in "Gifts for Madge and
Guy," which can't help but work every time.
But,
enough about the "Once-heard-never-liked-again" angel of this
show. I figure I should comment on the acting.
Was
that too long for you? The acting has nothing that wonderful or bad about
it. It was nice to hear from some old characters, but the acting was
hardly breath-taking. It's funny how Whit and Eugene just pull out a plane
or train ticket in many episodes and go to wherever they wish. Really, how
unbelievable is that!
The
music is the only real thing worth commenting on. Great music. Love the
little harp at the end of part one, indicating that it things may not be
as they appear. Or something silly like that. The "falling-into-the-water-getting-out-again-I-feel-fine-but-I-can-sense-nothing-is-as-it-was"
scene had great water effects (AIO's getting good at doing those) and some
good refrences to the movie. But that had nothing to do with the music or
sound effects. That's okay, though, because I have nothing else to say.
In
this whole review. Review's over, you can go home now...or whatever you
want to do. I've commented enough, haven't I?
How
come I have this weird feeling that I should say more? But I don't have
anything else to say! All-in-all, though, it was a passable show with some
great spoofs (love it when Donna say "wrong movie) and sound
effects...what we need now is more original Barclay shows!

I love it! I have it on tape and I love the way it kinda
goes after the movie "It's a Wonderful Life!"
