Globe Trekker - Around The World: Pacific Journeys

The Best of Globe Trekker
I have always been curious about the south pacific islands. This dvd covers a pleasant young man traveling to Easter Island,Tahiti, Mangareva and Pitcairn Islands. We learn about the history, the natives, how the inhabitants presently live. The scenery is gorgeous. Part two is the continuing journeys of the same man, as he visits Tonga, Fiji, Norfolk island and New Caledonia. There are lovely unspoiled places on this planet. Good educational video. I hope these places remain undeveloped and unspoiled. For a unique vacation, visit, buy soveniers, take pictures, then leave it as you found it. Delightful dvd.

Deals From The Darkside - Season 1 Episode 9 - Cruel Shoes [HD]

Shameful negotiations
The third show had steve ripping off a store owner. The man did not know what he had. Steve said that it was worth 5000.00. He asked the man how much and he said fifty Steve talked him down to twenty five. He should be ashamed of his deceatful behavior. That was the end of me watching this show. Up until then it was good.

Liked the show but lost respect for the stars.
I quite enjoyed this show until the hypocricy became too ridiculous.. In one episode the stars are outraged and upset at having been sold an axe head from a Mohawk burial mound and go to some lengths to return it to the tribe for burial, and yet in other episodes they gleefully trade in the human remains of torture victims. They seem like nice people until a piece of rock gets more respect from them than a human. The sheer magnitude of the hypocrisy put me off the show. (PS - I'm surprised that any self respecting Wiccan would be buddy buddy with someone who trades in torture victim bones for fun & profit.)

entertaining but...
I like it but the episode progress too slowly. It doesn't seem like there is enough content in each episode. Other than that the cast is likable, the ummmm subject matter is kinda cool. I have watched the first few episodes of season 1, if they don't get better I don't know if I will continue. I may end up removing from watch list

The Family Feud

Inspirational!!!
Lori's story is so uplifting and encouraging. She is very inspirational. Her positive outlook and stubborn determination is amazing and will help her get through anything Breast Cancer throws her way. I am so glad Amazon Instant Video made available this episode of 'Say Yes to the Cure: Lori's Fight'!!!

such an inspiration
Lori's story came out just as I was in the process of biopsy to mastectomy. I watched then and clung to every word. However, after mine was behind me, I realized I didn't remember very much of the episode, so 6 mths later, I watched again. I now have it on my Kindle so I can watch any time I need a "friend who understands". Thank you so much for sharing your adventure.

Wonderful.episode
Lori is wonderful, informative and inspirational. This is a must see episode. Lori is an inspirationn to people everywhere.
Some very special brides are showcased as well.

Episode Ten (Original UK Edition) [HD]

Lightweight Charm And Over-The-Top Performances Highlight This 10-Part British Soap Opera
The new British soap opera "Mr. Selfridge" has a certain frothy charm that will likely appeal to many viewers looking for something a bit more lighthearted from the Masterpiece Classic mantle. Ironically (or strangely) enough, "Mr. Selfridge" is the second series set in the world of retail to arrive on British airwaves this season following the popular "The Paradise." The show, which runs for 10 episodes (not 8 as are currently listed in the product description), is centered around the formation of Selfridge's Department Store in London after the turn of the century. Although the idea of the show is based in fact, I'm not entirely sure I would even call this a historical drama. It adheres more to the lines of a classic soap opera, with an ensemble of characters engaging in the expected romantic subplots and looking resplendent in period finery. The hat budget alone must surely be frightening (as are some of Mrs. Selfridge's hats)! It never digs particularly deep into complex...

Why expect Downton Abby?That would be boring!
Well,I happen to like Mr. Selfridge. The acting is stupendous and the characters are exquisitely dressed.
The sets are top notched. To try and compare this drama to Downton Abby is like trying to compare Are you being served? to Mr. Bean.
Both are delightful alone but use completely different type of Britsh humor.
Even-though the time-frame of Mr.Selfridge and Downton overlap,their stories are completely different.
One can enjoy both,differently.

Historical Drama
I stumbled across this series by accident one Sunday night on ITV and became fascinated. As the reviewers above have discussed in detail there is some unevenness in the story and character development and to be expected the acting and it's hard to know why but despite these flaws - or maybe because of them - since the series is based on a real character and events which are by definition flawed - you are captivated and just want to see and learn more about Mr. Selfridge and his time in London. I became fascinated by his story through this series and desperately wanted to learn more about him. I've now ordered the book the series is based on as well as the book Mr. Selfridge wrote himself in the '30s - "The Romance of Capitalism". I learnt that many things we consider 'normal' in retail today were introduced by Mr. Selfridge - "There are only 'x' more shopping Days 'till Christmas"; the customer is always right; special events to get people into a store; getting shoppers into a store...
