I have found a DVD containing a rare episode of Mr Peepers starring Wally Cox. Classic TV Hits, comedy volumn 2 has this series along with Jackie Gleason's Life of Riley, Trouble With Father, and I Remember Mama. Cox is brilliant in the lead role. Tony Randall shines in a supporting role. The show was filmed live and it is rather grainy today but thank goodness it still exists. One can easily see why this series was so popular in it's day. It is a sweet and tender show. It is very well acted and well written. Thanks to the Classic TV Hits series this show is available to us all to cherish for years to come. The actress who plays the elderly teacher later went on to play Aunt Clara on Bewitched. As with all the show's performers she is excellent!

Mame
(1974)
A terrible film!

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen! Far inferior to the 1958 classic "Auntie Mame" starring Jan Handzlik and Rosalind Russell! Lucille Ball is totally miscast in this musical remake! She shares no chemistry with the child, played by Kurby Furlong, and displays absolutely no talent for singing!
Very good kids film.

Gregory Smith is wonderful as a young boy who shares his grandfather's friendship with leprechauns and fairies. The special effects are good without being too complicated. Little boys should get a real kick out of this film that is, after all, basically about the magic that is little boys. The power of their innocense and their imagination.
