The three shows are the ones that are shown in short clips throughout the film Bewitched.

1. I Darrin take this witch, Samantha. (Very good)

2. Be it ever so mortgaged, (also very good.)

3. It shouldn't happen to a dog. (My personal favorite out of the whole three.)

On the whole, this show sampler is good for those of us that never saw the original shows, but love the movie. Trust me, you'll enjoy them.

When she was in the third grade my older sister bought a little book of christmas stories with the nickles she had saved by not having milk at break time. "Christmas Every Day" is our favorite story from this carefully preserved little book. Our mother still reads "Christmas Every Day" every year for her grandchildren. Though we are all grown we still enjoy the story too. Even my oldest sister's hyper-active 7 year old sit's quietly for his grandma's reading of "Christmas Every Day."

It was a great relief for me to find that Amazon.com had "Christmas Every Day" because the little book my sister brought home in the early 1960's is quickly becoming too fragile to handle. Thanks Amazon.com, someday I hope to read "Christmas Every Day" to my grandchildren.

I think the author as a very Good Imagination and very detaling In his work. It was a book that I could not put down. Always has you wondering what is going to happen next. Waiting for the next series to come out. Meredith! you are Great. Keep up the Good work. And not for a Child to read.

Wonderfully intense and extensive, yet well thought out and applicable. Extensive references allowing easy cross-bridging of information. Applicable from the most simple to the most complex concepts. Probably too deep for the average non-medical person, but easily lends self to anyone willing to study the material. I love it, and I am looking forward to an updated edition.

First, William Meredith writes a brief but useful essay to put Shelley's works into a context. He neither overpraises the poet nor dismisses him as overrated.

Second, it's the poetry itself that is crucial for any such volume. On page 28, we come across a poem that I think is wonderful, "Mutability." This indicates that there are few constants, and closes with a couple wonderful lines:

"Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow;
Naught may endure but mutability."

Brief, but telling. One of my favorite of Shelley's poems.

Then, perhaps, my favorite poem of all: "Ozymandias." What a wonderful warning against the Greeks' tragic flaw of hubris. The final five lines say it all:

"'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Powerful stuff, speaking to the futility of those who are arrogant.

And so many more poems. . . . The anti-war poem, "Similes for Two Political Characters in 1819," which closes with the line:

"Two vipers tangled into one."

I once used one of his poems, "To Sophia [Miss Stacey]," in a letter to a special person in my life at that time.

And, at this point in my life, his lament about aging, "A Lament," takes on some poignancy.

And so on. . . .

This is a special slim little volume that I bought decades ago, but it still resonates.

We all have those little fast food toys from McDonalds..Now you can turn those little goodies to real cash... I never realized what I had just lying around a little loved, and looking for a new home. Finally a up to date price guide from someone who does collect and well knowledged about my collection. Fast and easy to read. I carry it with me at all times for a quick reference to check a possible treasure... A must have for the serious collector..

Niclo and Danny are two children who live on a mountain (perhaps somewhere in the Alps), with their parents and baby brother. Life for them is simple, predictable -- the only danger is being carried away by the eagles to the valley on the other side of the mountain. Until one day, a child is carried over, from the valley, and plopped right into their laps. She is Marta, and she is the Toymaker's daughter . . .

What follows is a story of one little girl's journey to escape her past, to grow the heart of a real child, and to find a place with a family who truly loves her. She does not ever want to go home again. This book is quaint and comforting, mysterious and delightful. A truly hidden treasure that everyone should discover.

This has always been watched in my house ever since I was a child and now my children will have it, too. It is awesome and a Family Must Have.

Got this for my mom, but it's on TV every Easter week. Did a great job with this movie for it's time.

I am very satisfied with the product also very imppressed with your customer service people i would order again

I bought this movie for my husband who just love classic movies and he was thrilled with this one.

Excellent quality reproduction, we never get tired to see it. It will always be a 5 stars movie.My young son saw it now for his first time and got (unusually)stuck in front of the TV cheering and crying for the whole length of the movie. Worth buying it!!!

This is one of the funniest movies of all time. Mike Myers best and most memorable performance. The scenes with Charlie's father (Stuart McKenzie, also played by Mike Myers) are so funny they will make you laugh until your stomach hurts. Heeeed, paper now!

I was looking to replace a lost copy of this movie and thought I put in my two cents. This movie has it all, murder mystery, martial arts, poetry, songs and dance plus bag pipes and yes, Phil Hartman. This was a great date movie for my husband and I before we got married, and now we watch it every year on our wedding anniversary. If you like the old Saturday Night Live type of humor you'll love this. This movie is like a fine old wine, it gets better with age!!

There aren't so much as five seconds of this movie that aren't hilariously funny. Mike Myers stars as Charlie, a San Francisco coffeehouse poet with a serious fear of commitment and a track record of ending relationships over imagined flaws. When Charlie finally meets the beautiful Harriet (Nancy Travis)--who happens to be a butcher--a series of revelations have him convinced she's Mrs. X, who marries men and murders them on their wedding night. The movie is full of very funny characters and great performances, including Amanda Plummer as Harriet's oddball sister Rose, Brenda Fricker as Charlie's lustful, conspiracy-obsessed mother May, Anthony LaPaglia as the frustrated undercover cop, Alan Arkin as his too-nice police captain, and funniest of all, Mike Myers in the additional role of Stuart, Charlie's belligerent Scottish father (evidently based on Myers' real father). Some of the funniest scenes involve Charlie's poems parodying the "beatnik" style, including the unforgettable "woman woman woman" poem and the "Harriet, hard-hearted harbinger of haggis" poem. You won't be able to stop quoting most of this uproarious movie.

Unlike most people I actually pay attention to critics as I have burned by the hype way too often. Like most great cult films though they really missed on this one. The one liners are top 100 classic and the great supporting cast get the film through potentially slow points. Nancy travis is especially brilliant in a role that is designed to be ambigious. Bottom line, get the DVD, watch, repeat.

Charlie Mackenzie (Mike Myers) has a bit of a commitment problem. It doesn't matter how perfect his girlfriend is, he finds some reason to end the relationship.

Then, into his life, walks Harriet Michaels (Nancy Travis). With just one smile, she melts Charlie's heart. It's love at first site, and Charlie is ready to leave his bachelor days behind him.

There's just one little problem. Reports are circulating the country about a Mrs. X who kills her husbands on their wedding night. And Charlie thinks that Harriet may be Mrs. X. Is he just coming up with another excuse not to commit? Or is he signing his life away by asking Harriet to marry him?

I'm not normally a fan of Mike Myers' comedy, and this movie reminded me why. The reliance on sexual jokes and situations for comedy never appeals to me. Mike also plays Charlie's dad Stuart, and I just found that character annoying.

To further complicate things, the story is rather dull. We know what's coming, and the movie takes too long getting there. If I had been enjoying myself along the way, I wouldn't have minded. But since I wasn't, I didn't. I actually enjoyed the sub-plot about Charlie's friend Tony (Anthony LaPaglia) and his disappointment in his job as a cop more then the main story.

The only thing that gives the movie that second star is the climax. It was actually funny and interesting. It's not enough to make the movie worth watching, but at least it was entertaining.

Die hard Mike Myers fans do love this movie. The rest of us can just move right along.
