One of my favorite shows on television is Chuggington. This is a show about colorful trains with painted faces. They work together around town to solve problems. Sometimes one of them will do something that is not very team-oriented, but they will learn their lesson from it in a good-natured manner. The vivid colors are one of the best parts of the show; they make it easy for toddlers to differentiate between the characters. Another great aspect to the show is the music. The theme song is very catchy, probably because it's so simple. And as the song is playing, the trains are moving and tooting around the tracks. They all end up in the same spot, which is on separate tracks and facing the viewers with smiles. This definitely helps set the right tone for the show.
You might be wondering why an adult would list Chugginton as one of his favorite shows. It's because I have a 2-year-old who loves it. We watch it on Free on Demand on direct tv whenever we can. It really is a great show. It's so good that I think most adults would be entertained by it. When the show is over, my son constantly repeats, “Chuggington! Chuggington! Chuggington!” It's really cool. If something is going to make him that happy, then it's certainly going to make me happy as well.

TV Real Estate Guidance
My husband and I have been married almost 45 years. Our first home was an apartment that we enjoyed for only a year. I wish we had had the benefit of watching the HGTV show "Property Virgins" before buying our next home in which we lived the next forty years. The show "Property Virgins" should be watched by couples everywhere who have never purchased real estate. While watching the satellite tv that we got from www.tvbydirect.com/business-commercial-satellite-tv-deals/, its host, Sandra Rinomato, seems less like a real estate agent and more like a real estate psychologist. She guides new buyers into realizing not only what they need but also what their budgets will allow.
Each episode begins by Ms. Rinomato asking the potential buyer what type of real estate they're seeking. She then finds three properties for her audience to tour along with her customers. There are times that couples start out hoping for luxury they ultimately conclude they cannot afford. The "Property Virgins" begin the program looking for a place to live. Sandra Rinomato guides them through the process of finding a place to live, in a neighborhood they will be happy living while teaching the television audience as well as the "Property Virgins" how to make the final purchase.

A Mini Series with Major Drama
Thanks for the post from Al Mills
My favorite TV mini series is The Last Don, which was a mini series based on a book by Mario Puzo, the same author as the Godfather series. This TV series was no where near the level of The Godfather movies but it was still highly entertaining and very much like a soap opera.
The movie is centered around Cross De Lena, played by the very handsome actor Jason Gederick, which to be honest was the original reason I tuned my Cannon Satellite to this series. The story line follows Cross from childhood, growing up as the son of a mafia soldier to the powerful Clericuzio family, all the way to adulthood when he becomes the unlikely leader of the family. Kristy Alley plays the scorned and emotionally unbalanced daughter of "Don" Clericuzio, blaming her father for the murder of her first love, the son of a rival family, but not before she becomes pregnant. Her son grows up to be a ruthless killer perfectly suited for mafia life and desperate to run the family business. When things don't go his way and Cross gains more and more control within the family, their rivalry turns deadly.
Of course this series has drawn all kinds of criticism for it's obvious comparisons to The Godfather story line, but can it be a rip-off when it is written by the same author? Of course nothing compares to The Godfather in terms of classic mafia movies, but The Last Don can hold it's own.

The Office
Content by Mac Kline
It might be cliche to admit it now, but one of my favorite sitcoms is - and has been for quite some time - The Office. It's one of those popular shows that everyone knows and everyone has an opinion about, especially considering the somewhat questionable turns of the latest few seasons (like the star, Steve Carell, choosing to exit the show at the end of the current season). But I still love it. It's been my comfort tv for many years now, and I can't abandon it after six seasons.
My tradition for watching The Office is almost as important as the show itself - I change into my pajamas, grab the remote and some popcorn, and plop down with direct tv north carolina, and not even a tsunami can move me once I'm settled. The characters are like old friends; I'm so familiar with the titular office that I could work there.
It may not be everyone's cup of tea anymore, but The Office still means something to me and I don't even want to think about the day it leaves the air for good.

The Experience of The Thorn Bird
Guest written by our friend Donnie Donovan
One of the best dramatic mini -series that I have ever seen on my tv from www.direc4u.com would have to be The Thorn Birds. This amazing work came from the imagination of Colleen McCullough's book for the same title. Although this mini-series was produced a number of years ago, the drama, pageantry and beauty of the areas used for filming are still as riveting and breathtaking today as it was when it was first introduced.
The Thorn Birds begins in 1920's Australia and follows the lives of Father Ralph DeBrickasar, a Catholic priest who presides over a small parish that is largely supported by Mary Carson, the owner of Drageeda, the largest and richest sheep ranch in Australia. Into this story enters Paddy Cleary, Mary's brother, and his family, including Meggie, the only daughter. Mary brings her brother and his family to her ranch to help her run the enterprise since they are the only relatives she has.
The story follows the lives of these characters that become so closely intertwined, especially those of Meggie and Father Ralph. The story shows you the lives of the characters spanning more than 50 years, from Meggie's childhood to the death of her only son and marriage of her only daughter. The most intriguing part of the story is the relationship between Meggie and Father Ralph, from her childhood to his death.
