The Paula Poundstone Show (1992)
Other reviewers are reviewing the wrong show
This series is Paula's six-episode HBO show. The other reviewers are leaving comments about her ABC show from 1990. This show was charming, with a healthy dose of her standup in each episode and excellent music. (The ABC show had great music as well.)
Archie Bunker's Place (1979)
A mediocre continuation
This shouldn't be listed as a separate series. They simply re-titled "All in the Family". If you were to watch the final season of "All in the Family" and the first season under the title "Archie Bunker's Place", they wouldn't seem like two different series. A lot of scenes were set at the bar toward the end of "All in the Family", Mike and Gloria were already long gone, and a lot of scenes in "Archie Bunker's Place" were set at 704 Hauser Street.
As the show went on the quality declined, but that was also true under the original title.
C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America (2004)
Most people missed the point
I think most of the reviewers here entirely missed the point of this movie. I won't try to debate the folks who pointed out the flaws in movie-making (acting, directing, etc.) because those people have a point. Those flaws didn't bother me, though. The bad acting, in particular, fits well into the movie, because most of it is in "commercials" which would tend to have bad acting anyway. My biggest gripe is with the Southerners here that are trying to pick apart the premise of the movie. "The South would never have tried to dominate the North", "The war wasn't really about slavery" -- none of those things matter.
What would our country be like today if the idea that one race should hold dominion over others had survived? How different is our country today from such a country? Those are the points of the movie, and neither has anything to do with the likelihood of the events in it. If you believe that what the South was fighting for was anything other than that idea of dominion, you're either a fool or a liar. Given the number of Southerners that wish that it was still that way, you'd think they would have enjoyed this movie, as a kind of wish fulfillment.
