Alfred Hitchcock And The Three Investigators



Here is another great series. It is out of print so check your library. A group of 3 boys solve some very strange mysteries for Alfred Hitchcock. The series went under when they took out Hitchcock's name. These book are also very suspensful. If you can find them check them out.

Nancy Drew




I just began reading Nancy Drew. Her books are very suspenseful. The Hardy Boys are just boring. I have read 3 Nancy Drew books in a month. It is all I am reading for now along with the new Goosebumps books.

Salute Your Shorts



This show is just silly. A group of kids causing trouble at a camp while avoiding getting caught by the councelors. It has the funniest camp pranks ever.

The most memorable part of it was the Theme Song "Camp Awawana we hold you in our hearts and when we think about you it makes me wanna FART...It is I hope we never part now get it right or pay the price."

Barney And Friends



I really like Barney. The music is fun silly stuff. Barney teaches great lessons. I think if more adults followed the Lessons that Barney teaches the music and and people today would not be so violent.

Goosebumps



I love Goosebumps. R.L. Stines is a great author. His charactrers are weird an creepy. He can really scare you. I love it.

The TV show was just as good. They really brought the books to LIFE. I hope R.L. Stine keeps on writing for a long time.

So Weird



As with Ghostwriter this is just Can't forget about.

This Girl named Fi who's Father died had power to contact the Spirit World. Now Fi has that same power. It was a spooky show but the stories about her family were just so meaningful. This show has made me beleve that ghosts really DO exists. It could be possible to contact dead loved ones.

I just hated Season 3 when Fi left and Annie joined. The cut back on the serious Supernatural stories which was lame.

I also wish they released a soundtrack of this show. They lived on a Tour Bus because the Mother was a singer. They wrote some of the most meaningful songs for the show. They were slow and relaxing. I loved them.

Are You Afraid Of The Dark?



"Submitted For Approval Of The Midnight Society I Present To You The Tale Of...." If you know this prase, you have seen this show.

If this show didn't creep you out I don't know what will. A group of kids sitting around a campfire who call themselves "The Midnight Society" try to see who can come up with the scariest story. They had some awesome ones at that. This show was spooky and I loved it. Why did Nickelodeon need to change to junk?

The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody



Disney Channel does it again. When I first saw Zack And Cody. I thought it was like having new episodes of Family Matters with Steve Urkel all over again. Zack And Cody are cute and funny.

If you that Zack and Cody are funny in a hotel, wait until next month when their new series stars "The Suite Life On Deck" This time they are making trouble on a the Tipton cruise ship. I can't wait.

Hannah Montana



I love the Disney Channel. It is great family comedy. They don't have the family comedy on TV that they did in the 80's and 90's. Today's TV is all reality junk and dirty jokes. I hate it.

Hannah Montana is great music as well. Even her own Miley Cyrus Breakout CD is one of the FEW CD's out that is worth buying today.

The Brady Bunch



The Brady Bunch is one of the Funniest shows ever put on TV. People don't like it because it is "Too Fake". That was the point of the show from the begining, to escape reality. It is funny. My favorite is Alice, she has the funniest lines.

They also had really great music. I have several of their songs. It is fun to listen to.

Frankie Yankovic




Polka is another great for of music. It is just fun music with funny lyrics. Frankie Yankovic really is The Polka King.

Frankie and "weird Al" are not releated.

"Weird Al" Yankovic




"Weird Al" Yankovic is just funny. He can take any song and make it better. I think his parodies are just talent. He talks about food and I love to eat. I am also a computer nerd so I can relate to his computer songs as well.

Pete Seeger




I love folk music. It is part of our country's history. Stories about people's lives. Pet seeger is one of the greatest folk singers ever. This music I can enjoy.

Today's music is all about sex and violence. I hate it. I was brought up to learn that sex is a private issue. Rap is just obnixous. Folk can be very relaxing.

Ghostwriter



I can't say how much I LOVE this show. It was set it Brooklyn New York. A group of kids who are The Ghostwriter Team solve mysteries with the help of a ghost called Ghostwriter. Ghost writer can't hear or talk and can only see things that are written down. He helps the Team find clues that the Team can't get to. The tam has to write to Ghostwriter. The have a Casebook to write down information for Ghostwriter. They each have their own Ghostwriter Pen which they wear on a chord around the Teammembers neck. This way they can write to Ghostwriter anytime they need to. Only the members on The Ghostwriter team can see Ghostwriter's words. Ghostwriter chose who cold be on the Team by writing to that persion. The team kept Ghostwriter a secret. If they need to meet as a group, which the Team called a Rally, the member who wanted to call the Rally would write Rally and his or hers first initial and Ghost writer would send the Rally Message to meet at that person's house.

It was very suspensful. Each mystery had 4 0r 5 diffrent parts. So you HAD to tune in the next wee to see what was going to happen. Like Nancy Drew for the 90's generation. No show will ever be like it. Who would want to solve mystery like that???

They did make The New Ghostwriter Mysteries. They was no Rally and they just some kids at a school happed to see Ghostwriter. The whole "Team" concept wasn't really there. They were a couple of good mystery plots, but it was not put together very well. Each mystery was solved in one half-hour show rather than 4 or 5 diffrent shows.

Kidsongs







Kidsongs started out as a series of videos starring The Kidsongs Kids. Each video is geared towards a certain subject such as Old MacDonald's Farm or A Day At Camp. Each video contains at least 10 fun popular sing-along songs. The Kidsongs Kids are great singers.

Also the newer videos contained Billy and Ruby Biggle magical creatures from Biggleland. They used their magic to get The Kidsongs Kids to diffrent places they need to go quickly.

There was also The Kidsongs Television Show. This is my favorite version. It aired on NBC, Disney Channel and PBS. In the NBC version the kids find a abandoned TV studio and get it back in working order. They countdown the top 8 videos of the week. It also featured celeberty guests interviews. The NBC epsioded were re-ran on Disney Channel.

The PBS version introduced The Biggles. In this version The Kidsongs Kids run into a TV studio and sing to the owners to let them used the TV studio. This version also had videos of a theme like the video tapes. The NBC vversion the videos seemed to be more random. It still had the interviews and also had Billy and Ruby Biggle's Sing-Along. I like these because you get to hear the kids in the TV studio sing-along with the video tgat Billy and Ruby picked. It was also cool in both versions to see the kids pretending to work the cameras and monitors.

There is 10 episodes of the PBS version of The Kidsongs Television Show available on DVD. I wish they would come out with the NBC version on DVD.

The music in this show was just fun folk and good clean music.

Old School Sesame Street



Sesame Street was such a great show. Originally it was ment to be a family show with inside jokes for adults. Now since Elmo joined it is strictly a kid's show and has been getting worse. I am glad that they are putting out the old episodes on DVD. I have both volumes. I also collect alot of the old Sesame Street music. It is just fun silly music about so many unusual subjects, how can you not love it???

The original characters were just fun to watch. Jim Henson does a great job making the characters silly and entertaining in the original episodes.

Also for the record Bert and Ernie are NOT gay. These stupid rumors are driving me nuts. They are not funny at all. They have seperate beds and whoever lives in a major city on their own knows how expensive it is. A lot of guys sare an apartment together that doesn't make them gay. It is a KID'S show, they makers of Sesame Street said themselves and also Jim Henson has sid that they are not gay. Kid's would not understand that.

Come join the Sesame Street Block Party.
