My Thoughts:
Another disc that was in a box full of DVDs that was given to me. I am really not that familiar with Jimmy Fallon. The only other thing I have that I actually seen so far with him in it is Fever Pitch. And while I have nothing against Queen Latifah... I don't consider myself a fan. The trailer looked like it could be fun... but iffy. So I went into this one with low expectations. And it is a good thing I did. As while I did find it entertaining... there was no real laughs. It is pretty bad when the bloopers during the end credits gets more laughs then the movie itself does. But the cars was definitely fun. This is one I can see watching again... but not often.


My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

I enjoyed watching this series when it originally aired, but lost interest in the second season. I only finished watching it later on DVD.
As far as I am aware it was one of the first series which tried to build upon the success of Buffy and Dawson's Creek, by having a Dawson's Creek type of teen soap with a science fiction or fantasy twist. Many followed for good or worse.
