Numb3rs is a rare gem in the world of modern television. When most shows revel in outrageous and offensive behavior, those of us seeking a high-quality show finally have something to watch. This show isn't centered around cruelty, lewdness or malice, but teamwork and family, things most programs today lack. Rob Morrow and David Krumholtz are perfect as brothers Don and Charlie, who are almost complete opposites, yet they work together well to solve the problems that arise in each episode. And the other members of the cast are just as important as the two main characters. Each member of the team has something to contribute, and by the end of the show, you get the impression that the resolution wouldn't have been reached if any one person was left out of the picture. This show isn't about solving crimes as much as it's about working together and realizing that one person can't accomplish very much alone. True, the dialog can be a little forced at times, but everything else in the show is so enjoyable, any weaknesses in the writing are forgivable. This is a show the whole family can watch comfortably.

Swing Time ranks right alongside Shall We Dance? as the best Fred Astaire - Ginger Rogers film. Astaire is a member of a dance company, but he plans to leave the company to get married. The men of the company will do anything to keep the wedding from happening. Astaire is eventually sent to New York, where he meets the beautiful Ginger Rogers. Falling in love is never simple for Astaire and Rogers, and the road to a happy conclusion is filled with laughter, frustration, and the best singing and dancing the two have to offer. This film is worth the money to rent, if not buy!

Carole Lombard and Fred MacMurray have a rare chemistry that can closely be compared to that between William Powell and Myrna Loy. Both are excellent as gold diggers trying to help each other get ahead. This is one of the best romantic comedies I've ever seen!
