My Thoughts:
At first I thought it a little strange to see Patrick Stewart as Scrooge. He seems a little young for the role. But he has ten years in a one-man Christmas Carol show under his belt and he did a good job. That he can do crumpy, I always believed. Look at his early interpretation of Captain Picard.Compared to the other adaptions I have seen, Scrooge seemed a little restrained at the end when loosened up.

THE TEXAS STATE ARMADILLOS are fourth down and nowhere-to-go after a corruption scandal nearly ends the football program. Now upstanding coach Ed Dennaro (Hector Elizondo) must put together a brand new team.
For the position of quarterback Gennaro recruits Paul Blake (Scott Bakula, 'Quantum Leap'), a 34-year-old former high school star whose field of dreams turned out to be the family farm. Blake still has the arm, but can he score with a team that includes a samurai lineman, a butterfingered receiver, and a Samoan strongman with eyes for the place-kicker (Kathy Ireland)?

My Thoughts:
A favorite comedy of mine and even after a half dozen viewings now the laughs still hold up.
There have been a lot of misfit sports comedies in the past but this one sustains the laughs from start to finish. Larry Miller as the conniving school dean is a scene stealer!
This is one of those movies I throw in when I want some laughs and it delivers every time.

My Thoughts:
This series really surprised me. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. For some reason I had never watched it before, even though I heard good things about it and it is also often compared to "Mein Leben und ich" (another series I enjoyed). I have to admit that I even enjoyed it more than that one. Though I really liked the first three seasons of it but then grew tired of it."Berlin, Berlin" only has four seasons, but unusual for a German comedy series it doesn't only have 13 episodes per season, but it has 20. The first season even 26.
Through the bonus features I found out, that this series even won an international Emmy award for best comedy series (the first German series to do so). I didn't even know that the Emmies had an international award. And in my opinion it deserved it.
