Home & Family (1996)
Home & family & Chuck Woolery
I loved this show when Chuck Woolery was on he is just so cool and he got to show just how cool he could be working next to Christina. Chirtina was so hyper and he was most of the time laid back that I think it did work well to have opposite's at time's . but I like many other people I know stopped watching it once Chuck had his open heart surgery. Michael burger should have kept to game show's and I do hope Chirstina has found away to relax a little. I must say I also liked Candice Garvey and Steve occasionally. What can I say it was great fun and if Chuck had stayed we might still be seeing it today. The type of show might still do well it was a step ahead of reality TV as far as being live and Chuck being as real at time's as any one could be and some of the maul function's of the home and family sound's like a good idea hey!
Call Me Madam (1953)
Ethel Merman and Call Me Madam and Musical's
This is probably the best way that Ethel Merman was ever presented in a film. Call Me Madam show's off a lot of what made her such a great star and treasure of the Musical theater. I was lucky enough to see her as child in the revival of Annie get Your gun and than Hello dolly and In concerts after The Live performance that she gave I thought could never be captured, but in this film I believe is the best any one can do to treat themselves's to a truly great performance by a great performer. This is a very good Irving Berlin Musical with a very good supporting cast there are great song's and very competent dance number's just righting this make's me want to watch the disc all over again. So I would say to anyone interested in Musical theater do yourself s a favor and see what the musical theater was all about when I dare say it was truly the American Musical theater. This is mainly the type of musical that I was brought up with . I like a lot of what's playing today, but the type of musical this is, hold's a special place in my heart if you could not tell already. I also have hope that film's will start making more musical's and if they are really good on the stage just try and go on what has worked and not ruin the original product.
