Review of Do Over

Do Over (2002–2003)
I was thinking about the music also
15 November 2002
Along with some people who have stated before that the music doesn't match up to the year. That struck me also, but it didn't bother me since most of the music blurbs seem to be inside Joel's head as a memory in relating to a feeling. They're usually when he sees someone or remembers a situation and the content of the song relates to that. I don't think it's supposed to be anything more than his memory of the songs and since his memory isn't perfect, as in when he dressed up as a ghostbuster for Halloween and no one knew what he was, the songs in his head don't match up to the time exactly either, but no one can call him on it since it's only in his head. It's just used as funny accentuation. I like this show a lot 'cause it's right at my age point. I'm 35 and was a freshman in high school in '80 (started school a year early), so this show lines up perfectly with me and does make me consider "what would I do if this happened to me?" The prospect of it would probably drive me insane though. Having to go through all that again. It would be great to try things different but there is also the thing he stated in the first episode, "everything for the next 20 years is going to be a rerun." Ugh. Would drive me nuts. ;-)
