I Love Lucy I ♥ Mom Edition, timeless comedy for all

When I was a kid I Love Lucy was on television in the afternoons. I remember it was sometime before Wild Wild West and after Lancelot Link Secret Chimp. There aren’t too many episodes of I Love Lucy that I distinctly remember. As a child the black and white seemed to throw my attention elsewhere. As an adult watching the special four episode collection, I ♥ Mom, I understand why I Love Lucy is one of the classic sitcoms of all time.

Earthworm Ensemble, pleasant, Earthy tunes for more than organic kindie

The latest release from Earthworm Ensemble, Backyard Garden is more than kid friendly from the get-go. Its cover gives you a heads up that (most of) the disc is packed with songs that any age can relate to about the backyard, gardening and all things eco. All of the songs are great for kids and the, pardon the pun, organic sound of them will allow them to learn and appreciate a wide variety of musical instruments. All of the songs are groovy, upbeat and easy going, but the disc would’ve benefited from being a very strong 10 songs instead of a more bloated feeling 13 songs.

BBC Earth presents Planet Dinosaur 3D, Wings 3D and Tiny Giants 3D-Giveaway

Watching these three Blu-ray DVDs from BBC Earth made me realize that I need a bigger television. The sharp, unique images that accompany the score and narration are the way that life should look in my mind’s eye. Planet Dinosaur 3D, Wings 3D and Tiny Giants 3D are all in 3D if your television allows it, but can also be played on traditional sets. Each one of the films is amazing in its own right and here’s your chance to get all of them for free, just in time for Earth Day.

Wallace & Gromit: The Complete Newspaper Strips Vol. 3 review

I was relieved when both of our children let me know, in their own unique way that they liked Wallace & Gromit. Wallace & Gromit is our DVD comfort food. Whenever the streaming is slow or our kids need a treat we’ll put in one of their shorts or movies so that we all can chill. As we live on this side of the pond we only recently discovered that they have a daily comic strip too. Titan Comics compiles these daily comic strips and the third volume has just been released.

Fans of quality cinema and middle Earth can celebrate and be sad at the same time. The final chapter of the classic book hits DVD.

Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard, fabulous all age comic greatness

Mouse Guard is the best all age comic that I hadn’t read. My first interaction with Mouse Guard was a couple of years ago when they released something for Free Comic Book Day. That brief comic was amazing, the art was some of the prettiest that I’d seen, the story was cute and simply perfect for everyone. I must get the graphic novels that came before this I said. Alas, time passed and I forgot. Although I still read that free comic, I wanted more Mouse Guard. It is here and it is awesome.

Adventure Time: Frost & Fire on DVD review

I’m learning to love Adventure Time. Season 4 on DVD got me interested and now I’ve started to search it out online and on Roku also. The downside to watching it solely on your television streaming device is that they’ve only added the first two seasons. Adventure Time is in its sixth season now, that’s lots of silliness and Frost & Fire that you’re missing. Adventure Time: Frost & Fire focus in all on Flame Princess and Ice King.
