I suppose they could claim "british humor" but since she's supposedly mimicing Lucill Ball.... It's popular somewhere, getting good rating. I dont see any charisma in the lead. Her roommate has some charm.Funny women is an oxymoron

QB1 for golf?Full Swing on Netflix
Not sure what you mean by QB1, but it’s like a spin-off of Drive to Survive, the F1 “documentary” series.QB1 for golf?

looks great!!Netflix Series - Lilyhammer
Enjoyed this series, but still mad about how it was abruptly canceled, leaving viewers with no ending.My Name is Earl (Pilot): wasting time until ball game starts, it came to mind. Thought I'd see if it holds up. It holds up.
I was watching a movie a couple of weeks ago, Dog, and a big burly guy came on and I thought where the hell have I seen that guy? After a couple of minutes it hit me- that's Randy from My Name is Earl!Enjoyed this series, but still mad about how it was abruptly canceled, leaving viewers with no ending.
He got in really good shape, dropped a TON of weight.I was watching a movie a couple of weeks ago, Dog, and a big burly guy came on and I thought where the hell have I seen that guy? After a couple of minutes it hit me- that's Randy from My Name is Earl!
Nice! Obviously it's great, but the problem with classic movies such as that (i.e. the Seven Samurai) is their formulas have been copied or imitated so many times, modern audiences watch them and think, "what's the big deal?"first time with Citizen Kane.

You seem to be glossing over the point that, e.g., Citizen Kane was first..."great for their time"? How about GREAT and concede that it influenced future movie making? It sounds as if you're down-grading it because of the movies that came after and were inspired by it.yea this is a common theme when watching old movies for the first time. They were no doubt great for their time, but how many hold up today when movie making has evolved so much and certain themes have been used over and over again?
I think what it comes down to the most is story. Examples like Wizard of Oz and Star Wars have stood the test of time due to their stories, even though CGI, etc...has far been improved.

Based on my dealings with my own children, there is a reluctance (by those under about 50) to give a serious watch (and proper credit) to a black and white movie...Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Treasure of the Sierra Madre...
If you like Citizen Kane and want to learn more, I recommend the PBS American Experience episodes titled "Citizen Hearst" about the real Charlie Kane...William Randolph Hearst. Also, if you're ever in the the "neighborhood", the 20 bucks they charge to tour The Hearst Castle along Highway 1 in San Simeon, California, is well worth it.
