5/10, only 50% and I got a “good job,” and a thumbs up???
John Amos was a great actor! Saw him at a lecture in college but kinda disagreed with him. He’d said that reality tv shouldn’t exist because it takes work away from actors. While he may have been right about the jobs, I really like reality tv (depending on what it is of course), because I find a lot of tv/motion picture scripts these days to be too predictable. Other than the nostalgic television of yesteryear, gimme something I haven’t seen!
