Keeping Up Appearances
(1990)

Fantastic!
This show is truly hilarious with its superb writing, excellent physical comedy and biting wit! Although Routledge lights up the screen with her portrayal of class-conscious Hyacinth, she is well supported by a varied and talented supporting cast. From Violet (the sister with a Mercedes and room for a pony) to library-book reading Daisy, the cast provides non-stop laughter and storylines that keep you watching to discover the next crazy twist. Hyacinth's flamboyant snobbery and utter self-absorption is an excellent contrast to her straight, resigned husband Richard. The running jokes 'Appearances' provides keep you laughing from the theme song to the closing credits. You will tune in for each episode to witness another round of Rose's declarations of love, Hyacinth's worries about whether the post will realize she is of a social standing that should only receive FIRST class mail, Sheridan's requests of money and avoidance of women (reportedly because Mummy asks - not because of his dubious interests!) and Elizabeth's inevitable break of china or spill of tea. Watch it! You won't regret it!

Emma
(1996)

A fun watch
Emma was a fun, interesting and intelligent version of the Jane Austen novel. Many movies that are derived from books have the plot lines destroyed, but this was a great representation of the original. The characters were true to the original, and overall the movie was almost as great as the novel!

I Love Lucy
(1951)

The best!!!
What can you say about I Love Lucy? It is unquestionably the best show ever seen on television. Lucille Ball is a comic genius and the best physical comedienne that I have ever seen. No matter how many years the show is in reruns, the comedy is fresh and absolutely hilarious. Again, there is nothing you can say except, thank-you Lucy and Desi for putting on the BEST show on television, then and now!

A Little Princess
(1995)

What a wonderful film!
While I have not seen the original "Little Princess", I can't imagine that it could be any better. This movie inspired laughter, tears and just made me feel good. Wonderfully acted by both the adults and the children, with heros that you cheer for and villains that you love to hate. The characters were wonderful and the message a great one for children and adults alike. A definite 10!

Little House on the Prairie: Little House on the Prairie
(1974)
Episode 0, Season 1

What a great show!
Little House on the Prairie - what a great show! Yeah it may be a little cheesy, with a few thousand too many shots of Laura Ingalls wearing ever-present braids and petticoat running away from some shocking news, but still, a very feel-good show. It's nice to watch a show that doesn't rely on nudity or fist-fights to be entertaining. All around a fun show, with good characters, interesting plotlines, and hey where else can you hear the famous Nelly Olsen screech!
