The Rerun Show (2002) User Reviews

heh...I want the DVD

[rrrrob · 7/10 · 1 April 2007]

I guess I should file this under guilty pleasure but I grew up when much of the original material was popular. I found this a hoot in the way I do the Brady Bunch Movie(s) and the Chris Elliot show Get A Life. No, nothing great, but this had it's moments and they were pretty good moments from what I remember. It was a summer replacement show on NBC and later showed up on VH-1. Most vividly I recall the spoofs of Facts of Life, The Jeffersons and Diff'rnt Strokes. I was hoping to find them (probably only six episodes in all if that) on DVD somewhere, but so far no luck. I don't remember much while flipping channels but this one sticks out like a sore thumb (and I like sore thumbs).

A riot

I watched this show last summer on NBC and Vh-1 and it was hilarious! I especially loved how they made fun of some of the cheesiest shows, such as "The Partridge Family", "Diff'rent Strokes" and "Saved By the Bell". I thought I was gonna get a hernia from laughing so hard. On the downside, though, I'm pretty sure I'm the only person I know who likes this show.

Another Very Very Very Short Lived Show

This show was so short lived that I didn't even get to see every episode. It premiered during the summer of 2002. I saw a couple of episodes. They were funny. It was so cool how they poked fun of the sitcoms of the 70s like The Facts Of Life, The Partridge Family, Different Strokes, and What's Happenin!! There was an episode when they poked fun of the Facts of Life and had a man playing the role of Mrs. Garrett. But I went out of town for less than a week and came back home and the show went off the air for good. No warning. I didn't even get a chance to see every episode! The rerun show never lasted long enough to have reruns!

The Rerun Show is the funniest show that I have ever seen.

If you liked classic TV shows such as Different Strokes, The Facts of Life, The Jeffersons, Bewitched, and many others; you will really love this show. It shows us a different take on those shows, while featuring guest stars and all sorts of other humorous suprises. This show is also very enjoyable for people who have never seen any of the classic shows or enjoyed them because it is that funny. I have never seen a show like this and but I hope to see more.

One Stupid Show!!

[Jeremiah_16 · 26 August 2002]

I can't believe NBC put this crap on the air . I've seen stupid shows on the air before with no plot , this is even worse. This show , to summarize completley is -- it just sucks . I don't expect it to last very long and i hope that it doesn't last long. God help us if it does last long , God help us all !!!

This show sucks

[Sunshine_1985 · 30 August 2002]

I've seen parts of the shows and I must admit, I do not enjoy it. I loved the classics, most of them were on before I was born but I watch them in recindication but this show does not show the actual scenes, with different cast, but these just mock it, and I don't find it funny.

A great idea with a talented cast to pull it off

"The Rerun Show" is a great idea with a talented cast to pull it off. These guys and gals play all sorts of characters from our classic favorite tv shows. They have some great funny moments, hysterical character exaggerations and some of the best impersonations. Plus the added bonus of seeing has-been sit-com stars appearing in every episode is priceless! (Gary Coleman played a security guard in a funny version of a "Facts of Life" episode.)

Unfortunately, this show probably won't last in primetime (few ever do), but I can see it thriving along side MadTV around 10pm or 11pm somewhere. Keep up the good work, guys!

Funny, but I doubt it'll be around for long.

THE RE-RUN SHOW plays jokes off classics like BEWITCHED, THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY, THE BRADY BUNCH, and more. While more viewers tune in to this show, I think NBC will eventually cancel this show.

The skits are a mix between SNL and MADTV. If you like these shows, tune into THE RE-RUN SHOW. It's nothing great, but it's funny, and with good ratings COULD become the next famous skit show-I doubt it though. 3/5 stars-

Easily, one of the worst shows ever.

[snowball_236 · 25 March 2003]

This was a HORRIBLE TV show. The idea of spoofing old shows but having no script and bad actors doing it is just plain bad. It was like a very bad skit from "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" that lasts way too long. I am very glad to see this show get cancelled. NBC has put out very good shows (Scrubs, Seinfeld, Mad About You) and some awful ones (The Downer Channel, Cursed, Fear Factor) this is just another drop in the bad TV bucket.
