It's a Living (1980–1989)
9/10
I loved this show but can't find it anywhere!
18 June 2006
This show was about a group of waitresses working in a restaurant in Los Angeles. It introduced me to Ann Jillian and several other actresses still working in the industry. I loved the theme song and still can remember it now. Like many of the shows I grew up with I can't find it on DVD anywhere. "Alice"(the TV show) is getting a DVD. Where are some of the others that I remember so well? "One Day at a Time" also comes to mind. I know that it was also called "Making a Living" for a season and can find all kinds of information on it. Why do they release all the crap that passes for entertainment, and don't release some of the shows that we grew up in the '80's with!

10/10
Great and underrated movie.
20 March 2005
I first watched this movie on Lifetime and found the story moving and satisfying. Who hasn't made mistakes in their life and felt like just chucking all of the decisions and leaving it to chance.

This movie is about two wanderers. One a cynic, and one naive and too trusting. It is about friends taking the chance at finding happiness.

I wish that this movie was more well known. Another in a long list that I wish were on DVD. I will transfer my difficult to find copy myself.

A more upbeat "Thelma and Louise". One of my favorite almost unknown movies. I wish that this had been the women's empowerment movie of the 90's instead of "Thelma and Louise". These characters are much more real.

Auntie Mame (1958)
One of my favorite comedies ever.
23 May 2004
This is one of my favorite comedies ever. Rosalind Russell shines as Auntie Mame, the nutty aunt that I wish I had been stuck with. Some people might find it corny. I find it funny and charming. The love for Patrick is real and sweet even if it is a little naive at times. Anyone that has been around upper class snobs would love the portrayal of the mindless airheads in this movie. Some of these people I think I have met in my short life and some of these mistakes I have made! Two short lessons in life are do not make daiquiri's with honey and avoid peanut butter and tuna fish at all costs! I also loved Rosalind Russell in "His Girl Friday" with Cary Grant.
