Starman Audience Reviews

Pluskylang Great Film overall
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Travis Maxson Although we are talking about aliens/scifi and the naivety of the culturistic past, Starman was 'good TV'. If you are honest with yourself, TV today is about CGI, forced action, demons, witches, werewolves and a plethora of crime based spoofs. This is what has captivated the TV viewers of today... I realize that I am from a different era, however I have the option to watch all that stuff too. I choose not to. Not always because of the questionable content that the TV shows have, but the commercial content that goes along with it. Don't you realize that crime TV is laced with commercials that encourage questionable activities, like just do it, drinking alcohol and commercials that totally disregard your health? I do not remember the commercials of yesteryear for Starman the TV series, but I do know that the commercials of today are far from being those of 1986. Starman should be an example to us that we should be conscience of our actions, we should be eager to help others that are in need and willing to do that right thing; even if that means to accept the consequences. A good TV company could resurrect the STARMAN series simply by pointing out the needs of society that are destroying us today.

russedav Starman (the TV series, NOT the far inferior movie) is a wonderful rarity among shows of having a dad and his son loving and concerned with one another, sadly taboo in today's vile media cesspool obsessed with destroying the true family via pro-ven mental illness counterfeits(those its not "politically correct" to mention without censorship by hypocrites who demand First Amendment protection only for themselves), indeed and any intimate relationships outside of true marriage, civilization's bedrock, under vicious attack by so many. Dads are always depicted as fools or worse, and when dads and sons love each other, sick lying media often try to twist it into something as twisted and perverted as they are. Sadly this is why Starman had to be destroyed. It was moved among bad time slots to pretend ratings were the cause of its demise, the media being ultimately focused on lust, for power and depravity the deluded deceive themselves into thinking is being "open-minded," not ultimately money, or they'd focus on G movie moneymakers, not PG and above losers, usually badly done. I hope one day today's fools will wake up to how crucial Dads are, and the Moms standing by them, especially but not just for sons, instead of sticking narcissist heads in the sand, denying reality, reason and civilization. I had to put a dash in "pro-ven" because the blasted spellchecker kept mistakenly "correcting" it to the erroneous "proved." Computer programs are so stupid.
Gregorso I liked the way that people would expect Starman to be a jerk (because the guy who's body he copied was kind of a jerk), but he would end up inspiring hope in everyone. I was impressed with how he handled his captor, George Fox, in the next to last episode.In the motion picture, I always felt that it was wrong for Starman to get Jennie Hayden pregnant and just leave her. The TV series sort of helped to redeem that.It made sense that, as an alien, he had a completely fresh perspective on things, and thus was a very creative photographer.The stories were all set in the southwest U.S. The scene of Starman first emerging in Paul's body was cool.A unique show that appeals to lovers of peace & social justice. I remember seeing a bumper sticker after it was cancelled: "Starman will return in a moment." The show was something new under the sun.
