At Kilburn
Bell’s house, a normal Sunday evening
turned into a small adventure—and gave
him the self-imposed job of finding
homes for a litter of abandoned kittens.

It’s probably extreme to juxtapose
Screen Door Jesus with
the religion-themed Left
Behind series. After all, Screen
Door Jesus is simply a
satirical look at old-fashioned Bible
Belt religion and all the flavors it
comes in. Nevertheless, by design it
shuts out and offends those most likely
to benefit from any redeeming message it
may have. |

It often
has been observed that the miracle
classic, perennially rerun TV series
M*A*S*H carried on from 1972 to 1983,
about eight years longer than did the
actual Korean Conflict (1950-1953) in
which it was set. |

budget to food, but not

Thanksgiving is an American holiday, so
it may seem odd for me to suggest a
British television show as a way to
celebrate it. But
somewhere on the long list of things for
which I’m grateful is the BBC comedy
Chef!, coupled with the fact that it is
finally available, complete, on DVD.

So much poverty, so many smiles

Lions and tigers and…kids, oh my! Okay, so maybe they’re not the exact words Dorothy and company uttered while traversing the yellow brick road, but they might have been. If, that is, the gang had tagged along with Kyrene Corridor dentist Dr. Kelly Cook last August during a big-game safari hunt in South Africa. |
