Puppet Playhouse (1947)
Wonderful program for children
I watched this show everyday when I was a child in the '50s. I was even on the show once as a member of the 'Peanut Gallery'. Kids need more of this type of programming today and less of the pseudo violence and political programming that is labeled as 'kids TV' today. This stirs imagination, which in turn stirs creativity in children. The actors were wholesome people. Bob Keeshan who played 'Clarabell the Clown' for several years, later became successful as 'Captain Kangaroo'. Bob Smith who was also known as 'Buffalo Bob' did a lot of touring and public appearances. He was kind to children, I remember the day that I got to be in the 'Peanut Gallery', I was 8, Buffalo Bob was kind and not at all flustered by a bunch of young children. He seemed to really like kids.
Meet the Fockers (2004)
I am happy that I did NOT pay theater prices to watch this .
I thought that the actors/actresses did a decent job with a lousy script. I usually enjoy the work of Robert DeNiro, Barbra Striesand, Ben Stiller, and Dustin Hoffman. However, this supposed comedy had me sleeping in no time at all. I had expected to be in pain from laughing but found myself in pain from boredom. Luckily I only paid $2.50 to rent this dog instead of theater prices. I would not recommend this movie to anyone with an average or above average IQ. I found only a couple of scene even slightly funny. The pretense of Ros Fockers occupation was funny and some of the scenes involving the grand baby were funny. Also the first scene involving the Focker's dog and the Byrnes cat was humorous. The rest of the movie was just a bore.
