i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Disappointment for a huge fan!

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I recently re-watched some taped episodes of this television series and my original impressions of how terrific this series was, has been confirmed. It is clever and witty; the cast is terrific; and the period sets and costumes are outstanding. Although there is a hilarious "camp" quality to many of the dramatic events in the storyline, I found the characters believable and endearing. What I had initially overlooked is how cleverly the story commented on social issues. Being a movie buff, I thoroughly enjoyed viewing this series about a fictitious Hollywood studio and its employees, set in the golden years of movie-making. I wish the whole series was available on DVD.

This show is the most horrendous thing I've seen on television to date. Not only is it an insult to the heroes of Hollywood's Golden Age, it is an insult to every single viewer that has ever had access to a television. The dialogue attempts the art of the double entendre, but is ends up being lewd and vulgar; the plots are weak and thinly developed, often so predictable that any child with basic comprehension could punctuate each scene with a correct prediction of the next. In short, if you liked AMC's critically acclaimed, "Remember WENN", even if you like television in general, DO NOT WATCH "THE LOT". If this show is an example of the taste, style, and mentality of AMC programming executive Marc Juris (who cancelled WENN in favor of the bilge being reviewed at the moment), then we may have possibly seen the greatest example of stupidity in our time.

STINKS! "The Lot" is a nerdy attempt to be provocative and profane. I've seen better high school plays. The Lot is a "cue-card" enactment loaded with wooden performances throughout. (Performances???) This series, in which each episode runs less than a half hour, and in which uses up nearly four and a half minutes for head titles and end credits over live action, tends to appear historically incorrect, or shall we say inaccurate, in its pretense to portray popular celebs of the day. This company's research department missed the boat when it comes to certain actual events and even, in one episode, makes mention of a mouthwash product that didn't "make the scene" until the mid-'60s. Don't forget the time-frame here is supposed to be the late '30s. This series is so bad, I doubt it could pass as "noon-time soaper" material. (My opinion, of course) I watch just to see how ostentatiously bad it can get. (Who could love a studio that is run by a sweaty Tor Johnson lookalike?) Your juxtapositions aren't working, Mitz. (Again, just my opinion)

WEAK, WEAK, WEAK! Totally miscast and disinteresting. Whatever happened to those wonderful character faces seen in all those great movies about movies from the time period this half-effort attempts to portray? There has been so many better films and TV shows on this same subject that reigns mountains over this "flick" (to be polite). Remember "Bracken's World" (1969)? It's a shame American Movie Classics (AMC) chose to cancel "Remember WENN" in order to, according to their website announcement, make time available for "The Lot", a 4 part - 2 night time waster. Station "WENN" has everything "The Lot" ain't! Pray that this one goes no further.
