My Thoughts:
I am surprised, but I enjoyed this movie more than expected. I even enjoyed it more than the first movie. I never really liked Jason Lee as David (I like him, but I think he is miscast in the role), so I had no problem with it, that he had a smaller part here. Instead we get Zachary Levi ("Chuck") opposite of the Chipmunks and I think it worked out great.

I enjoyed this little comedy. It was fun how they constantly dug up Harry just to bury him again. You can see that Hitchcock made this movie just for the fun of it.

Plot:
Your favorite Must-See TV is now a must-have DVD, as JUST SHOOT ME! SEASONS ONE AND TWO delivers all 31 hilarious episodes from this long-reigning fixture of NBC's classic comedy lineup. Nominated for six Emmy Awards and five Golden Globes, this acclaimed ensemble comedy spanned the hilarious gamut from catwalk to casting couch, chronicles the daily grind of the magazine's quirky staff, serving up all the laughter that's fit to print. Arriving on digitally remastered DVD for the first time.


Just Shoot Me!
1.01 Back Issues
Writer: Steven Levitan (Created By), Steven Levitan (Writer)
Director: Philip Charles MacKenzie
Cast: Laura San Giacomo (Maya Gallo), George Segal (Jack Gallo), Wendie Malick (Nina Van Horn), Enrico Colantoni (Elliott DiMauro), Chris Hogan (Wally), David Spade (Dennis Finch), Emily Procter (Anchorwoman), Dave Clark (Anchorman), Scott N. Stevens (Young Father), Shannon Maureen Brown (Lorena), Donna Ponterotto (Receptionist), Raphelle Hink (Raphelle), Joel Traywick (Intern)

I enjoy watching this series. I like the snarky one-liners, like the ones David Spade's character comes up with.
The first two seasons of this series were released in 2004. The third season five years later. I am still waiting for further seasons to be released.
