JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

tachyon_1 This was a great show. Yet it never seemed to get the viewers or popularity it deserved. It seems like a lot of copies came out later that got all the glory, yet were lesser shows. Bateman of course _was_ the show. His character was smarter and cooler than the posers. Like a lot of shows, it died an early death it did not deserve. At the time the show was on I never missed an episode. I really do not understand how Growing Pains became so huge while this masterpiece slipped into oblivion. Mind you Growing Pains was good, but not at this level. Stupid TV execs.Oh well. Any news of it on DVD?

Thor2000 I have always had mixed feelings about this show. On one hand was it funny, hilarious and before it's time. Jason Bateman had originated this role of a teenage con-artist as Derek Taylor on the surprise hit, "Silver Spoons," but by time he got his own show, the role had been expanded upon into some very large scale covert operations with listening devices and secret plots, a sort of "Parker Lewis" for it's time. The show was also a nightmare for me too, because I used to have a friend named Matthew Burton (Bateman's character), and we used to brag about stunts we had never really done. We both got a lot of flak from this show, and I think we enjoyed the attention a little bit. I've lost contact with him, but today when when we see each other, he reminds me of when we strung up the school skeletons for the concert. It never happened of course, but of course it's how we remember the show. I think both of us would have killed to have a mom who looked like Caren Kaye or a sister like Tricia Cast. Garrett Morris could never have been my principal, he was too laid back. David Garrison though I think we would have been friends with, especially if we could have predicted he'd be later moving in next door to Christina Appegate !

bowlsmaclean This show came and went. They will never come this close to perfection again. Jason Bateman could of been the idol of millions if this show was given a complete second season. Sadly it ended with self apologetic demise. No syndication what so ever. I'd pay to own episodes of this on tape

Oilers85 David Garrison as Norman and Jason Bateman as Matthew are well cast in this short-run but brilliant comedy of a 14 year old schemer who meets his match. NBC cancelled the show apparently after complaints that kids were copying Matthew's schemes! This show was a forerunner to "Married With Children" by the same producers and the influence is obvious. 4/5 from me, losing a point for missing the plot in the final episodes.
