Movie Reviews of Texas Ranch House
Movie Review: Producers -- Know your viewers better
Summary: 1 Stars
There are other reviews that outline the particulars of this series. My review is a plea to whoever made this (PBS?) to know your viewers better. We are not interested in how "Survivor" would have played out back in time. We are interested in a deeper understanding and immediacy of experience of what living in the past would be like.
Ditch the controversial picks in people. Ditch the petty squabbles, back-biting, and grandstanding. Pick people who will take seriously the opportunity to time-travel back to another period; people who will convey to us with dignity and intelligence the struggles and values of those times gone by. If you need a yardstick -- get back to the quality of Manor House and 1940 House. Please!
Movie Review: Horrible!
Summary: 1 Stars
I agree with the majority here, save your time and money and get one of the other series, NOT this one. The casting is horrible and the man that is supposed to be the leader of the family is a wife-fearing wimp and should be embarassed for the rest of his life to have acted like this. The people that chose these individuals should have reconsidered their choices. I, personally, would have loved to have the opportunity to participate in something like this, however watching these people make me wonder. If the real people back then had acted like this you can believe the the whole history of the united states would have been different (and not for the best).Movie Review: Frustrating to view
Summary: 1 Stars
If you want to see a weak man be pushed around by a wife who feels the need to dominate everything, then have at it. Everything in the show is tainted by the interplay between Mr. Cooke's spineless, incompetent self and Mrs. Cooke's need to assert herself by being an annoying pest for everyone. If you read her posts in the Washington Post transcripts, she sounds so fake. I guess she reminds so many of us of that nagging attitude that gives the true, strong women, mothers and wives who have made a difference in this world a bad name.Movie Review: Real Ranchers are intelligent
Summary: 1 Stars
Real ranchers are intelligent and don't abuse their hands. The ranch family in this show would have starved to death the first year - or perhaps their daughters could have supported them working at the local hog ranch, a career choice well suited to adolescent females who walk around in their underwear.
Give this one a pass.
