But that was the point, right? Aside from pointing out obvious cliches in films, it was interesting to learn the labels such as "meet cute" to the "maverick cop" to the "talking to tombstones" etc of the popular chiches, but it was even more interesting which films pioneered each cliche. Rob Lowe did a fine job and was certainly entertaining hosting and narrating this special, as were the other guests. At just under an hour runtime, the pacing was spot on and the story flew by quickly. Sure there was nothing revolutionary in this special, but I still enjoyed it, as it was fun to learn which films paved the way and set the trends for the individual cliches.
