Our World (1986)
History lessons with wit, heart and soul
....thanks to Linda Ellerbee, Ray Gandolf and the writers. Like others in this forum I too taped this show and have them to this day. Every couple of years or so I re-watch the series. It never grows old or dated. It is history, it is timeless, it is who we are.
It was the only television program that ever prompted me to write to a studio (ABC) regarding a show. ABC was kind enough to send me really nice educational materials that they made available for each episode and provided to schools and institutions. From these and other materials about the show that I was able to gather during its run in the 1986-87 season, I was able to assemble a nice "Our World" educational scrapbook.
OUR WORLD lives on.....
Emperor of the North Pole (1973)
Excellent movie that is rarely seen
What a great movie this is! If you are a fan of Ernest Borgnine, Lee Marvin, director Robert Altman; or of just plain old fun to watch movies, then go no further! This movie has a little bit of everything from adventure, humor, drama and a slice of pure Americana from the depression era. Best of all, it all fits together to make a great film for the family. Sadly, this film is rarely seen and is not available on laserdisc or DVD. Fortunately, I do have a VHS copy in good shape but would like to upgrade to disk. Better than that, I'd like to get the word out to see this great movie!
