Based on the DC Comics character created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino, the Supergirl WB series follows Kara Zor-El (played by Melissa Benoist), Superman's cousin, and one of the last surviving Kryptonians from the planet Krypton. At 12 years old, Kara Zor-El escapes doom on planet Krypton to find protection on Earth with the Danver family, where she grows up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learns to hide the extraordinary powers she shares with her cousin, Superman.
Christopher Reeve not only dons the hero's cape for the fourth time in Superman IV: The Quest For Peace but also helped develop the film's provocative theme: nuclear disarmament. "For me, it's the most personal of the entire series," Reeve says. "It directly reflects what Superman should be, and should be doing." Superman does a lot this time around. To make the world safe for nuclear arms merchants, archvillain Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) creates a new being to challenge the Man of Steel: the radiation-charged Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow).
The sequel to the wonderfully wacky Hot Shots! uses Rambo as its model for nonstop send-ups (though director Jim Abrahams can't resist inserting a Saddam Hussein lookalike, given the film's post-Gulf War release). This time, Lloyd Bridges, who was an admiral in the first movie, has become president (take that, Colin Powell!) and needs someone to take care of the threat posed by a certain mustached Middle Eastern dictator. Who better than ever-reliable Topper Harley (Charlie Sheen)?
The gang that created Airplane and The Naked Gun sets its sights on Top Gun in this often hilarious spoof starring Charlie Sheen, who previously only inspired laughs with his personal life. He plays Topper Harley, a fighter pilot with an ax to grind: clearing the family name. He gets involved in a relationship with Valerie Golino, a woman with an unusually talented stomach. But his mission is to avenge his father. Lloyd Bridges, late in his career, revealed an aptitude for this kind of silliness, here as a commander who is both incredibly dim and delightfully accident prone.
When Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher) nearly kicks the bucket, he decides it's high time he stops waiting for the right woman to live a meaningful life. Unable to adopt a kid as a single dad, he pops the question to his long-time roommate and best friend Alan Harper (Jon Cryer), and the result is a match made in Malibu! But will a friends-without-benefits marriage put a damper on their freewheeling lifestyles?
The Malibu beach house has become an empty nest for billionaire entrepreneur Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher) and his freeloading housemate, Alan Harper (Jon Cryer). But not for long. Alan's previously unknown niece, Jenny (Amber Tamblyn) staggers onto the scene with a parade of luscious partying ladies in tow, bringing hilarious new high jinks and hookups. Plus, there are improvements in Walden's love life, an alter ego for Alan, temporary retirement for Berta and wedding bells for Evelyn Harper.
A billion dollars, a Malibu beach house and beautiful girlfriends. For Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher) and Alan Harper (Jon Cryer), life seems almost perfect. But after Walden's girlfriend turns down his marriage proposal, he's thrown into a tailspin that only Alan and his son Jake (Angus T. Jones) can help him out of. They engage in sex-capades that involve everything from assuming false identities to Walden jumping into a threesome with Alan and his girlfriend.
Season Nine comes with big changes - and even bigger laughs from the Men of TV's favorite comedy! When hopeless nebbish Alan Harper (Jon Cryer) and his fast-maturing son Jake (Angus T. Jones) suddenly find themselves without a place to call home, their solution walks in off the beach in the form of internet gazillionaire, Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher), who buys the Malibu beach pad and offers to let Alan and Jake stay. Soon, the three guys bond, forming a substitute family, and find themselves involved in all sorts of comedic exploits that you've come to expect from Two And A Half Men.
Welcome back to the Harpers' Malibu beach house, home to one of the funniest TV comedy hits in a long, long time. Bachelor Charlie is trying (but not very hard) to remember the name of the girl currently taking a shower upstairs. Alan, Charlie's tightly wound, divorced brother is trying to figure out how he can get his ex wife to remarry, so he can stop paying alimony. And Jack, Alan's 11 year old son, is just trying to figure out what's for lunch and where's the TV remote. After a year of living together, the guys have figured out how two and a half men equal one family. Sort of.
The boys (two-and-a-half-men's worth) are back for a snappy, smart third season of TV's #1 comedy hit. A drop-dead gorgeous parade of Kandis, Sandys, Mandis and more marches in and out of the Harpers' malibu beach house, but the warm heart of the series remains the makeshift family that calls the beach house home - carefree bachelor Charlie (Charlie Sheen), his fussy chiropractor brother Alan (Jon Cryer) and Alan's precocious young son Jake (Angus T. Jones). This season Charlie romances a beautiful ballet dancer, Alan dates a 22-year-old cutie and his domineering ex-wife...
