Gilligan’s Island

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Gilligan’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 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.

A Christmas Story

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 Andy Griffith Show

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Classic Television is timeless and The Andy Griffith Show is one of the best of the bunch. There was always a lesson to be learned in every episode and it showed everyone has faults, Pride and most of all, feelings.

Andy Taylor ( Andy Griffith ) lives in a town called Mayberry where he is the Mayberry town sheriff and lives with his son Opie ( Ron Howard ) with his Aunt Bea. Many of the lessons were taught to a young Opie about growing up, being honest and doing the right thing.

Barney Fife ( Don Knotts ) is Andy’s Deputy and sometimes Barney gets carried away with power. He does things like lock up the entire town when Andy leaves him in charge. He buys an old motorcycle and turns Mayberry into a speed trap. Barny learns quite a few lessons himself about being a man and doing things you think you can’t do.

Throw in the Town Drunk Otis, The Town Barber Floyd, The Fix It Shop Owner Emmit and Goober and Gomer from Wally’s filling station and the comedy just gets out of hand. With Clara Edwards and Bea Taylor’s constant competition to be the best at something plenty of lessons came out of those episodes also. Go back and visit with the entire gang and relive some of the laughter, Entire Series is on DVD.
