Short Circuit
Struck by lightning, an endearing little robot known only as "Number 5" escapes from an experimental electronics firm. Technician Steve Guttenberg and his indecipherable East Indian assistant Fisher Stevens set out to locate Number 5 before the military can go through with its plans to destroy the robot. Number 5 takes refuge with loopy Ally Sheedy, who is convinced that the mechanical man is an extraterrestrial. Hoping to teach the "alien" all about Earth, Ally fills Number 5's memory banks with reams of pop culture--and then the real fun begins. Short Circuit is so carefully contrived to push the right audience buttons that one is made to feel ungrateful if one doesn't laugh. This E.T. wannabe was popular enough to warrant a 1988 sequel, titled (brace yourself!) Short Circuit II. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

On Worst Talk Shows in History...pepe said "Honestly, Jimmy Kimmel is the worst to me. What is he exactly? He's not charming, witty, or quick on his feet during his monologue, he's terrible with guests and he always looks half asleep. I will never understand how/why ABC either chose him or why after this long he's still on the air. It's baffling!!!!"

On Worst Talk Shows in History...FEEME1 said "Wow...That's foul. "Tempestt" was noticed--and missed--when the show was on and then cancelled. It had a slightly fresher approach than what's being lauded today (Rachel Raye? Please!). I don't think it would've won awards given a longer run, but it certainly didn't reek of 'middle child syndrome', either. "

On Worst Talk Shows in History...fed-up said "Chevy Chase was very funny when he was on SNL. That was a very funny show during the 70s, with the first set of comedians but, like Magic Johnson, Chevy Chase was a flop when he got his own show. And Alf was just too strange--he was just awful--a disaster! I really hated Alf, really did not like that character! Wasn't cute or adorable. Didn't like him at all. Still don't!"
