Reviews for "Viewers Like You"
Pretty good, it made me laugh
It was pretty good, but I dunn.. it felt like it was lacking something. Anyways, it was enjoyable.
D-R-P responds:
If I could only find out what that "something" was...
Nice.
Pretty cute. I had always wondered about that "Viewers Like You" part when I was a kid.
The only downfall of the flick was that "Plain" and "Bland" were, well... plain and bland. More animated voice would have made this piece side-splittingly funny.
D-R-P responds:
Heh, that's actually the point. ;)
I like PBS!
I had to give this movie a good score because it was a good movie. It was funny in many ways, but should not be taken too seriously, if you meant it seriously.
They say "viewers like you" to emphasize that all progaming is mostly supported by regular folks, like you and me.
In the late 90s, my local PBS station showed Monty Python's Flying Circus. Holy crap, do I ever owe PBS for that! They even showed the lost German episodes!
Nobody does britcoms better; BBC America on cable has commercials, and they don't even show good stuff, it's just stupid shit all day long!
And I love Nova. There's always something cool on there.
And just for you to know, PBS is going to go comercial soon because they can't afford upgrades to HDTV any other way. I'll miss it so much! :-(
D-R-P responds:
Wow, you REALLY like PBS...
Of course I didn't mean it seriously. In fact, if anyone thought I was being serious, then they have absolutely no sense of humor and are probably one of those people that takes even the Bible to be true word for word (meaning they think the parables and stories are 100% true as well). Those people, in my opinion, are very scary.
A very odd movie
It's a funny take on the "Viewers Like You" notice before and after many PBS shows. Something tells me that you were in a similar situation as our Plain 'n' Bland buddies, though, in that you probably had to watch hours after hours of PBS due to some technical glitch, or even a parental one ( such as, when your parents won't buy cable, so your entire childhood is spent in front of the TV set learning about the mating habits of the Southern Equadorian tree frog and watching Lamar read children's books to you on "Reading Rainbow" while your friends got to watch fun cartoons on Nickelodeon and eat things like Oreos and Cheetos while your family was of the health-food persuasion, and all you saw when you opened up your pantry on Saturday mornings was a box of wheat germ and celery salt seasoning.... stupid hippie, cable-hating parents... )
Anyway, my favorite part was the "dispatching Jehovah's witnesses" command on the computer. That's hilarious. It's an original movie, that's for sure. Good work

I watched Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers all the time as a kid, but not by force. I'd assume most kids brought up in the U.S. did. Most of my inspiration was from people talking about how scary Teletubbies was (which I have actually never seen) and from things like "Bert is Evil" and various other comments and theories about shows on PBS.
As for the whole health food thing... wow. I am so glad I don't have parents like that. Are you just venting some frustration here?
