Playmakers (2003)
Best NFL Based Series I've Ever Seen
I remember when Playmakers aired; for me, it was must see programming. Every episode was riveting; I found myself wanting each episode to continue. The stories were so believable-in fact, I'm sure some were based on actual events. I was mad when the series was abruptly cancelled.
Rumor has it the NFL put pressure on ESPN to drop the show because it put a bad light on the league. As ESPN wanted to broadcast NFL games, it seems they may have caved to said pressure. Yet, I submit that since so many of the stories actually closely resembled known events in the NFL, ESPN did nothing more that put a mirror up to the league. I've always thought it was a weak move by the league, & it robbed us of great entertainment..
The Peanuts Movie (2015)
The Peanuts I've Known & Loved
In the 60s & 70s, I grew up on Peanuts. I loved all the cartoons, ready the daily comic strips, & had a hard-copy set of Peanuts books. Generally, I don't like remakes, especially ones made w/CGI-I like the quirkiness of older videos. But, I'm happy w/this effort. The voices that mattered to me (Charlie, Lucy, Linus & Snoopy) were excellently done. The best compliment I can give is that watching this reminded me of how I felt as a kid. Good job!
