TV
"Yes Dear," mostly for the gal who tried to seduce Mr.Holland in Mr.Holland's Opus. -Bill, Hoosick Falls, N.Y.
"Dog the Bounty Hunter," because it's great to watch him catch the bad guys but even better to watch him give the bad guys life lessons, like the one where he told the young kid that if he did his time and cleaned up his act he'd help him find a job. Then everybody, even Dog, cries and gives hugs and it's just great. Plus it's fun to count how many time he says "bra" (apparently Hawaiian for "brother"). -Jasper, Spokane, Wash.
“Pia Zadora: Fiesta in Mexico,” a 1979 TV special in which the utterly untalented, chipmunk-cheeked Pia "sings" (lip-syncing her little heart out), "dances" (bouncing around like a Nerf ball on Ritalin) and welcomes her "special guest" Mexican cowboy singing star Julie Aleman ("Who's starred in nearly half-a-hundred films!"). I happened to videotape is when it aired in L.A. in the mid-1980s, and have made countless dubs of it for friends and fellow RAZZIE Award members over the years. It is, quite simply, the Best Hour of Bad TV ever made ... -John Wilson, founder/Head RAZZberry, The RAZZIE Awards, Hollywood, Calif.
Sci-Fi's "Who Wants To Be A Superhero?" I love Stan Lee as the Professor X-type leader. I just know he's trying to stifle his laughter while he's telling his costumed crusaders the rules of being a superhero. What crocodile tears from them when he voices his disappointment! Bad acting at its finest — it's foolish and funny. -Marji, Coplay, Pa.
NBC's "Days of Our Lives." I started watching it 21 years ago, when I was 9. It was captivating. The living, the dying, the kissing! ... I watched all the way through college, and then stopped for several years when I got out into the working world and was almost never home when “Days” was on. On a whim, I started DVRing it earlier this year, and you know what? The same stuff was still happening to the same people. The characters were all still played by the same actors from 21 years ago! Some characters have died and come back from the dead four or five times, others have broken up and gotten back together just as many times. -Sara, Seattle, Wash.
MOVIES
“Roadhouse.” I don't drink, and I don't fight, and I don't even like Patrick Swayze that much...why can't I turn it off?? Why???!!! -Matthew, Seattle Wash.
"Red Dawn", directed by John "Conan the Barbarian" Milius. ... I saw this movie right after a stint in high school Junior ROTC, yep I was being groomed to be a soldier early on. ... This movie kicked major booty at the time. I mean, clean cut all-American boys and girls mixing it up with not only Soviet commies, but Latin American and Cuban commies. Ron O'Neal, yep "Super Fly" himself leads the invasion, along with some Russian baddies. Come on, Swayze, Howell, Sheen, Grey and Thompson defending the homeland, all I can say is "Wolverines!!!!" -Scott, Austin, Texas
“Airport.” Helen Hayes — enough said. She is just hilarious as the stowaway. Not only is this my favorite guilty pleasure, but it is my favorite movie of all time. -Lori Kay, Sheboygan Falls, Wis.
