Great show really made Thursday nights something to look forward to., 11 August 2002
Author: Jake from Orem, UT

Growing up in the '80's was lame but Simon and Simon was funny, exciting, and had a little bit of mystery to it. The love/hate relationship sibling relationship was something many viewers could relate to. The show got kind of lame towards the end of the '80's. Just like my brother told me "they turned it into a soap opera". Whatever happened to Downtown brown? I noticed that some chick replaced him the last season or two. She wasn't a bad looker even for the '80's but she was no Town that's for sure.

When I watched the reruns on A&E I notice that some details of the show are missing. I notice this more with the Magnum P.I. shows. For example When Mangnum did his weekly look into the camara or when Higgins' started remniscing on his past and the guys slowing sneek out of the room. Is it me or have they been cutting these out to show more comercials?
