Posted by Someonelse at April 29, 2012

Robert Aldrich returns to the western-spoof genre he'd previously explored in Four for Texas with The Frisco Kid. Gene Wilder plays Polish rabbi Avram Belinsky, who intends to set up a congregation in San Francisco. Eminently unsuited for life in the Old West, poor Avram is victimized by everyone with whom he comes in contact. Salvation arrives in the unlikely form of taciturn bank robber Tommy (Harrison Ford). Incredibly, Tommy takes a liking to the feckless Avram, and together the two men embark on a series of seriocomic adventures.

Little House on the Prairie - The Complete Season 1 Movies

Posted by vaiduato at Jan. 11, 2010

Little House on the Prairie: The Pilot introduced viewers to the Ingalls family, a pioneer family headed out west to find a home and a secure life. In what would eventually become a ten-year run, Season 1 picks up with the story as the Ingalls settle in the small town of Walnut Grove, where Pa (Michael Landon) intends to make a living as a farmer, while Ma (Karen Grassle) takes care of the family: feisty Laura (Melissa Gilbert), her well-behaved older sister Mary (Melissa Sue Anderson), and her little sister Carrie (Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush).

Little House on the Prairie, loosely based on the beloved series of children's books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, is a family show in the best sense of the word: starting with likable characters and an interesting setting, it tells entertaining stories that have something in them to appeal to both adults and children. The stories tend toward the sentimental end of the spectrum, and certainly there are plenty of sappy moments, but on the whole, the series stands up to the test of time better than you might expect it to.

Posted by Uxen at May 13, 2010

The Tom Green Show picked up by MTV in January 1999, where he gained popularity in the United States and worldwide, would be similar to his original show where the show would be hosted by Green and co-hosted by two of his long-time friends, Glenn Humplik, who occupied the couch, and Phil Giroux, who sat behind a window at the back of the set and became known as "the guy in the window" usually drinking cups of coffee. Derek Harvie, who co-wrote the show with Green, occasionally appeared in the segments. Many of the sketches were targeted at his parents, both of whom appear to be not impressed and embarrassed by their son's antics.
