Murder, She Wrote (1984)
Never tired of watching this show
This is the type of show I never get tired of watching.
She is not the hot heroine, the intelligent well-dressed lawyer, but the mature, witty retired English teacher, turned into best seller writer located in a small town America, who always let us know that solving a mystery -murder- can be amusing and entertaining.
Older actors can have more magic than young good looking actors, when they have talent and charisma. Angela Lansbuty is the best example for this.
I love this show and Angela Lansbusy. "Actors are not made, they are born," you got it Angela.
The X Files: All Things (2000)
This is a great insight into Scully's past and psychological make up
In my opinion this is one of the best episodes on learning about Scully's life. There are two types of episodes. Those with special effects and UFOs -the signature of the X-Files-, and those where we learn more on the life and psychology of the characters -Molder and Scully. This one falls into the latter category. I love this episode because I can learn about Scully's past. One where she is emotionally involved in a forbidden affair, where she loved passionately. Also, the music used in this episode gives a really special touch as well as the use of images make and camera angles makes it very interesting, in my opinion. Although it is not a typical X File episode,I must admit, and I really enjoy it a lot. I have seen it in several re-runs and I still like it, more and more. Scully's performance is great. She shows a new side of her, one where she displays confusing and contradicting emotions. Psychologically is very interesting, which is the main perspective of the episode. Also as I said before, the song chosen for this episode is great. I bought it on itunes. I like the filmography and the notion of time-splitting that is presented in this episode. In summary, I recommend it, but I warn fans of the X Files to look at this episode with different eyes. In summary, I like it!!!
La madrastra (1981)
The greatest soap opera in Chile
This was one of the first soap operas made (written, filmed, and directed) in Chile. It became such a big success that both shopping and trading stopped at the time this soap opera aired. Raquel Argandona -famous Chilean TV personality and lately political figure- said that this soap opera paralyzed the country at the time it was on TV.
Worth of mentioning is to say that at the time this soap opera aired, there were no national productions of this magnitude and megasuccess on the Chilean TV.
Chile was a country that did not develop this type of production rather it was a consumer of foreign soap operas from Brazil, Venezuela and other Latin American countries in addition to American TV productions, but this particular show surpassed all expectations. It is also fair to say that it paved the way for the massive Chilean TV soap operas that are filmed both in the Chile and abroad for national TV. Arturo Moya Grau, writer and actor, was able to develop various other productions after the success of this soap opera. None of them with the same success.
This particular soap opera was based on a story that took place in Chile and the US. Most actors were Chilean (except for the main cast, both of whom were from Uruguay). Since then, both protagonists have settled in Chile and developed quite successful careers on TV and theater.
From this national production, many other soap operas have been developed and attempted the success this production had in Chile, and although some have been of great quality and quite successful, this one is for sure the most famous and successful of all soap operas filmed in Chile. It was a pop phenomenon in the country, and it will always be remembered dearly by all those of us who watched it faithfully.
This national production was re-aired years later, but with a mild success. The public gave it a warm welcome though. And despite the magic did not cast its spell on the Chilean public as the first time, it will always be remember as a classic soap opera and a great phenomenon of the 80s.
The Nanny (1993)
Talking about my show
Since I was in college I have enjoyed this show. Fran is one of the funniest comedians. Her voice, despite being peculiar, has amused me for years. I love the show so much that still today I watch the reruns. Either because they remind me of my years in college or the jokes still make me laugh. I have seen some episodes several times already. I think the show was great, Fran was awesome, and the cast was all suitable for each character. All was a real match. I hope that some day as with the Golden Girls, this show can also be available in CD because I would buy it in a second. Now Fran has a new show, and she still has something special that makes me laugh and entertains me. I have really enjoyed The Nanny for years and for anyone who has not seen it before I suggest they should watch it some time. I will continue watching the show reruns until they stop showing them.
