Family Blessings (1998)
Worth the wait.
Family Blessings was the first Lavrle Spencer novel I read. And it's still one of my favorites. I waited a long time see the movie when my CBS affiliate finally decided to show it. At first I wasn't sure Lynda Carter was right for the female lead. But as I watched, I realized she did a great job. The story was a good one. Older woman/younger man love story. I found it funny that the woman's male family member's were more excepting of the relationship than the female members. I can understand the daughter's disdain, since she had a thing for the young man, herself. The woman's mother was just concerned for herself and how it would affect her status in the town. The movie showed that no matter what other people think, love conquers all.
E/R (1984)
The other E/R
I was pretty young when I saw this show. I think it was one of the first shows on the Lifetime channel. I loved Elliot Gould and Mary McDonnell. It was the first time that I had seen George Clooney, if this was before he was on The Facts Of Life. This show was mostly a comedy, w/some dramatic parts, as ER is mostly drama w/ some comedic parts. It's too bad this show isn't shown in reruns anymore. I'd almost forgotten how funny it was.
Orleans (1997)
It wasn't given a chance
I think I was hooked from the start. It's just too bad it didn't last very long. I have to say it's been awhile since the last episode, so my memory is a bit hazy, but I know I liked it and wish it hadn't been cancelled. Larry Hagman might've been nominated and even won an Emmy. Who knows? I guess we never will.
Children of the Bride (1990)
I enjoyed this movie very much.
I've watched this movie movie than once. I love it. Kristy McNichol is one of my favorite actresses and this was one of her last movies. She makes the movie funny. I laughed at just about everything she said. The rest of the cast was good, of course. It was just a very enjoyable movie.
