Review
The two stoners Cheech and Chong have a new business, an ice cream stand named "Happy Herb's Nice Dreams." However, this isn't real ice cream — it's made out of experimental marijuana, stolen from their friend's plant.

The two sell the "ice cream" from their truck, and even make trips to a gym. The two soon make a fortune, with which they plan to buy an island, guitars, and get lots of women.

Of course, the police are on Cheech and Chong's tails from the start, as they trick the stoners into selling them "ice cream." Sgt. Stedanko, now himself a stoner, tests the marijuana and slowly turns into a lizard (a side effect of the experimental marijuana). The police storm their house, and Cheech and Chong pack up the marijuana ice cream in their truck and drive off, leaving their roommate and the owner of the marijuana-plant to be arrested. Sgt. Stedanko sends out two police officers to find and arrest the stoners.

Psych

This is a great new comedy series on tv. It’s about two friends Shawn and Gus who help the police with Shawn’s psychic powers that help solve crimes. Hilarious acting, great writing. They are now on there 3rd season and I hope they never stop.

Cast:
James Roday...........as.............Shawn Spencer
Dulé Hill.............as.............Burton 'Gus' Guster
Timothy Omundson......as.............Carlton Lassiter
Corbin Bernsen........as.............Henry Spencer
Maggie Lawson.........as.............Juliet O'Hara
Kirsten Nelson........as.............Karen Vick
Liam James............as.............Young Shawn

Review
Shawn Spencer, a young crime consultant for the Santa Barbara, California Police Department (SBPD) whose "heightened observational skills” and impressive detective instincts allow him to convince people that he is psychic. Together with his friend Gus he solves murder cases.

In flashbacks, we see that his father, Henry Spencer, assumed his son would follow in his footsteps and become a law enforcement officer. When Shawn was a kid, Henry helped him to hone his powers of observation and deduction, often using games and challenges to test him.

Shawn originally becomes known as a psychic when, after calling in a tip on a crime covered on the news, the police become suspicious of his knowledge. Theorizing that such knowledge could only come from the inside, they are about to arrest him when he uses his observations to convince all present that he is psychic. The interim police chief warns Shawn that if his "powers" are fake, he will be prosecuted. With no choice but to keep up the act, he makes the most of it. Pretending to have psychic powers allows him to engage in strange and comic behavior as he turns real clues into hunches and otherworldly visitations. He enjoys teasing lifelong friend Gus, a pharmaceutical representative, over his eclectic interests

Head detective Lassiter doubts Shawn's psychic abilities and initially does not value his work, while junior detective O'Hara and chief Vick either fail to recognize that Shawn is a fake, or else are more willing to go along with the charade to solve cases. Henry Spencer and Shawn have a difficult relationship; still Henry helps Shawn on numerous occasions.

Review

It’s a movie about four teenagers Hawk, Lex, Trip, and Jam who try almost anything to get into a KISS concert in 1978 Detroit.

They have tickets to see the band in Detroit, but Jam's ultra-conservative mother hates Kiss, thinking they are devil worshippers and that KISS stands for "Knights In Satan's Service." Jam's mother finds their Kiss tickets, humiliates him in front of the whole school, then burns them before the boys' eyes. This leaves the boys in a state of shock. Jam's mom then places him in a Catholic boarding school upstate.

The three remaining friends form a plan to get Trip out of class, so he can call a contest line to try to win tickets. They win the tickets, and then they ditch school to bust Jam out of the Catholic school. They place mushrooms on a priest's pizza so he is too high to notice that Jam is gone.

On the road, Trip throws a slice of pizza out of the window after dropping it on himself. It hits the windshield of the car behind them carrying some disco-loving guidos and there stellas. The car then pulls in front and stops them, pulls out Hawk and smashes his face in the pizza on the windshield. Hawk knocks the guy to the ground . The other guido guy tries to negotiate a compromise, but they beat him down and leave the car that the guidos were driving in a ditch.

When they get to Detroit, they find out that Trip did not stay on the phone long enough to give the radio station his information, forcing the station to give the tickets to the next caller. Now they have to find a way to see the concert. Can they do it????

---Fawlty Towers---

This is probably the funniest comedy series ever made. The acting is great and the stories are hilarious. Definitely a must-see for all comedy fans. It has 12 episodes devided in 2 seasons.

Cast
------
John Cleese..............as...............Basil Fawlty
Prunella Scales..........as...............Sybil Fawlty
Andrew Sachs.............as...............Manuel
Connie Booth.............as...............Polly Shearman
Ballard Berkeley.........as...............Major Gowen
Gilly Flower.............as...............Miss Abitha Tibbs
Renee Roberts............as...............Miss Ursula Gatsby

Review
---------
The episodes typically revolve around Basil Fawlty's efforts to succeed in running his hotel. Much of the humour comes from Basil's insulting and sometimes aggressive manner, engaging in angry but witty arguments with guests, staff and in particular his frightful wife, whom he addresses with insults such as "that golfing puff adder", "my little piranha fish," and "my little nest of vipers". Despite this, he frequently feels intimidated as she is able to insult him with equal venom. At the end of some episodes, Basil succeeds in annoying the guests and sometimes gets this thrown back in his face.

Basil behaves violently towards Manuel for innocent mistakes, exacting on some occasions physical violence, including beating Manuel with a frying pan and hitting him over the head, despite Manuel's piteous pleading. In this, and in other exaggerated physical mannerisms of Basil, Fawlty Towers employs physical comedy.
