Reflected the changing attitudes of the mid 70s
I fell in love with the innocence of this sitcom through modern eyes but this made me think of the impact at the time when attitudes were more prudish. A man sharing with 2 women!! oh the scandal!! The main characters have great interplay and there are some classic sitcom tropes that make it fun. Robin is the man who tries to live up to the macho stereotypes but is also reflective of the changing attitudes of young men in the 1970s. The woman are always more than a match for the men and this is shown best with the landlord George and Mildred Roper, who appeared in there own sitcom due to this great dynamic. Some silly jokes and ludicrous situations but this allows a sense of escapism and the jokes are clever at times. Robin also spawned his own sitcom Robins Nest so the roles and characters in this sitcom made an impact beyond the show.
The last series was heartbreaking in parts and the will they or won't they with Robin and Chrissy reached its crescendo with a familiar face from the series returning as a doppelganger and forever changing the dynamic of the 2 girls and 1 man living in sin.
If you like a look into British life's and attitudes in the 1970s then this shows it in an interesting light. Although I wasn't there I so feel I understood the themes and the significance of this snapshot of domestic living.

It was an interesting movie. Helps you understand that everyone processes death differently. Robin Williams showed a little range. Which is haunting after his death. But, it’s a great topic of figuring out what you’d do if you believed you only had a short time to live and how desperately hopelessness turns to anger. Parts of this movie were just over the top. The acting will never win awards, but, it’s a decent movie. Glad I saw this one.

Naomi Scott! (2 more)
Normal Guy Ritchie visual flourishes
Some good Disney "in-jokes"
Marwen Kenzari not nearly evil enough as Jafar (2 more)
Others are cast because they look like the animated characters: some would be good in the Disney parade... less convincing on the big screen
Comparison with Robin Williams (RIP)
Pointless remake but adequately done.

Mar 9, 2018
The first manned mission to Mars returns after their two and a half year trip to discover that they are the only living being left on Earth. Where did everyone go? Can they survive long enough to bring them back? The book started a tad slowly, but it quickly grew into a book I just could not put down.
