The Kelsey Grammer and Bill Zucker Comedy Hour
February 4th, 2010Gilligan’s Island
January 7th, 2010Gilligan’s Island is a classic in it’s own right with so many episodes I know by heart. With so many stars and guest stars, you can always count on Gilligan for a laugh. I can remember the whole funny cast by name Gilligan ( Bob Denver ) Jonas The Skipper Grumby ( Allan Hale Jr
) The Professor Roy Hinkley ( Russel Johnson ) Ms. Mary Ann Summers ( Dawn Wells ) Ginger Grant ( Tina Louise ) and Thurston Howell III ( Jim Backus ) with his wife Mrs Unis Wentworth “Lovey” Howell ( Natalie Schafer ).
Some of our favorites include the Surfer Boy played by a young Kurt Russel, the Japanese sailor and the Russian spy that looks just like Gilligan. We also like the episode where the space camera gos awry and lands on the island while they are collecting feathers for a bed and making syrup. They end up looking like huge bird people and the NASA people think they are looking at life on another planet.
Relive the fun at your own pace and enjoy the entire series on DVD. We watch ours regularly and still see new things we missed before.

Classic Television Christmas Specials
December 16th, 2009Every year when we were little, we waited all year long to watch the yearly Christmas Specials. You could watch only so many before the invent of the VHS. After that, we got to see them all because we recorded them on the other networks from the one we decided to watch, we had two VCRs right after they came out. Now they are out on DVD to watch with your kids.

A Christmas Story
December 16th, 2009Classic Christmas Movies
This week we will look at some of our favorite Classic Christmas Movies and see if they are your favorites also. With Christmas approaching fast, you will see the best Christmas Movies played on stations all across the US. In no particular order, our favorites are listed below and as always they are available on DVD.
One of the funniest Christmas movies and one of my personal favorites. Told through the eyes of little Ralphie Parker in the days leading up to the big day. Everything good about a family movie is present in this one.
All Ralphie wants for Christmas is a Red Ryder BB Gun and is trying to convince everyone from his mom to Santa that he should get one. One by one, all the adults in Ralphies have one answer, ” No, You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out “. The big day comes, his dad gets him the bb gun and the first thing he does is shoot it and breaks his glasses which if he had not been wearing, he would have Shot his Eye Out. Other funny moments include the Christmas Tree Trip, The Big Fight Scene and the Leg Lamp. It is a movie you can watch with your kids and laugh until you cry.
The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis
December 15th, 2009We loved The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis
His dad was always trying to get a little real work out of Dobie but it never really happened. Dobie was too busy chasing girls at the high school and dodging Zelda Gilroy played by Sheila James Kuehl who was in love with him.
One of the girls is a young Tuesday Weld as the pie in Dobie’s eye, Thalia Menninger. Several other people that made guest spots later were seen in other tv show later on. The TV series was baser on a movie from 1953 named The Affairs of Dobie Gillis. Classic Television at it’s best and available on DVD.

The Planet of the Apes
December 5th, 2009Keeping in theme with the doom and gloom of end of the world movies starring Charlton Heston, This post is about The Planet of the Apes movies. These were some of the best science fiction movies made for their time from 1968 to 1973.
What a plot and it led to 4 movies which are all favorites even though we know all the lines. Get your hands off me you stinking filthy ape. Who can forget that, it has been used in so many other shows as a joke. The plot was well thought out for it’s day.
Astronauts land on a planet that is inhabited by apes and humans are hunted and made into pets and slaves. Humans on this planet don’t talk so the new arrivals kind of stand out. Charlton Heston is the main astronaut and mounts a search for his comrades and a plan to escape from the planet.
The movie was so popular that it had three more that followed as well as a TV Series and a 2001 Remake that Charlton Heston
was also in.
If you have not watched them in a while, the new DVDs will be the best way to experience them again. Get the complete DVD set for the price of a new DVD or get the Special Edition DVD set.

Petticoat Junction
December 4th, 2009That’s Uncle Joe and he’s moving kinda slow at the junction, that was always my favorite line of the opening song. It always struck me funny and it still evokes a little mental giggle every time I hear it.
Petticoat Junction
) and her three girls Billy Jo ( Merideth MacRae ), Bobby Jo ( Lori Saunders ), and Betty Jo ( Linda Henning ) ran the Shady Rest Hotel. They also were responsible for a lot of the running gags like hiding Uncle Joe’s ( Edgar Buchanan ) Wooden Indian.
The Hooterville Cannonball with Engineer Charile Prat ( Smiley Burnette ) and the Baggage Handler Flyod Smoot ( Rufe Davis ) was an important part of Petticoat Junction because it was the only way to get to the Shadey Rest. This made for several good plots when the mean railroad vice president Homer Bedloe ( Charles Lane ) was always trying to shut it down and ruin the hotel.
Sam Drucker ( Frank Cady ) again runs the general store but he has a thing for Kate and even gets a peck from her in a Christmas episode.
They had many guest stars and Eb Dawson ( Tom Lester ) made many cross over episodes swooning over the Bradley girls especially Betty Jo. The DVDs contain intros by none other than Betty Joe Bradley ( Linda Henning ) with many behind the scenes tales. Who after all these years still looks like Betty Jo. Three DVDs are out TV Classics – Petticoat Junctions, Ultimate Collection, and Ultimate Christmas Collection – Beverly Hillbillies & Petticoat Junction but only Season One and Season Two are out on DVD so far.
