That 70's Show? Buffy? (Score 1)

I have to say that this year was a bad year for TV in general. I never saw That 70's Show, so maybe I'm making a premature judgement, but the commercials I saw on Fox never induced me to watch it. I've seen a good part of one episode of Buffy, and I have to say I was was impressed with neither the acting nor the dialogue. The only excuse I could see for Buffy's popularity is to see Sarah Michelle Gellar in suggestive outfits.

I liked the X-Files, although I was not a regular fan until this past year. Aside from that, though, I can't think of a single TV show that I watched religiously because it was good.

On movies, I think "Lost in Space" was a good movie to heckle, simply because it was so terrible. The best movie I saw this year? I didn't get a chance to see "Private Ryan" or the "Truman Show" even though I wanted to. Pi was good despite mathematical inconsistencies - I haven't seen a sci-fi thriller/suspense that good since Sneakers. Actually, one of the best movies I saw was an old one on video - "Johnny Stecchino" with Roberto Benigni (the guy from "Life Is Beautiful", which I also want to see). I think "Private Ryan" would be my top choice, had I seen it, but I'll just have to wait till it comes out on video. Anyway, those are my two cents.
