Too busy reading (and not writing)

Posted by kathryn - April 12th, 2006

I went back to the same bookstore last Friday and found a couple more books.  This time paperbacks of Gene Tierney’s & Jane Russells autobiographies.  I’m now on Jane Russell’s book which I saved until last.

I’ve also watched season 3 of Full House and I’m watching season 3 of Bewitched now.  I definitely enjoyed this season of Full House more than the previous 2 seasons… and I’m only up to about episode 4 of Bewitched so it’s too early to comment. However watching episodes filmed in colour as opposed to colourised makes a big difference.

But back to the books.

I’ve pre-ordered both Season 3 of the Doris Day Show and her first CBS TV special.

I have been enjoying watching Doris’s television show since I got the first 2 seasons on DVD last year. It suits my attention span when it’s too short to watch a movie and it’s vastly different from what I normally see on TV.

I wonder when that boxed set promised by Warner Home Video is going to materialise too?

Growing Pains

Growing Pains
Sitcoms from the 70’s and 80’s are another favourite of mine. I like watching episodes on DVD if I want to watch something… but not have to sit through a much longer movie. I do tend to buy favourites from my childhood/teen years.
I pre-ordered season one of Growing Pains from amazon.com and I have to say… I enjoyed it far more than I expected to. It was a series that I remember being on as a kid… but not any episodes from it. Kirk Cameron wasn’t all that cool by the time I remembered seeing it either…. but that it was long after the series had started.
