Because I am NOT above paying people to stick around despite my temporary absence, I have a gift...
Remember when there was a "family hour" on T.V.?
You know, the safe time when kids could be in the room while the tube was on?
One didn't have to worry about language, inappropriate viewing or commercials of girls obscenely washing their hair.
Some of you may not remember good, clean shows. Sad. I do and I miss it.
I really miss how families used to be able to gather around on the weekend to watch a family show (without Dad holding the remote readied for a quick change when things get seedy).
This is why I was more than happy to review Walmart and P&G's new made-for-TV movie, "A Walk in My Shoes". They are heralding that, "family movie night is back". Hallelujah. It's about time.
I have a confession. Thanks to my ever-dependable military postal system, my viewing kit still hasn't arrived. Chances are good that you will see it before I do, but I have seen trailers and I'm SO ready.
Do yourself a favor, set your TIVO or whatever it is you're using for "family movie night" on December 3rd.
PLEASE show Hollyweird that we're ready for more entertainment geared for families. If you Tweet, FB or blog a tune-in message about this,
leave me a comment telling me how you spread the word and you will be entered to win this "A Walk in My Shoes" CD/DVD bundle for your very own!
Winner will be announced on December 3rd. THAT's a pretty nice gift for getting a few days reprieve from unnecessary eye strain, don't you think?
I posted this on Facebook. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I think my kids are still so into PBS kids because I can't let them watch anything else. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. Even "kid-friendly" shows leave you explaining things to kids...
ReplyDeleteI hear the magician say "Busy, busy, busy" at least three times per week--the little kids love Frosty.
ReplyDeleteAhhh. Family friendly tv. Those were the days. Now the commercials are even too risky for kids to watch. So sad.
ReplyDeleteI miss family hour too. I watch very little on TV anymore. This movie looks like a good one. Thanks for the heads up! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out about this movie. It looks to be powerful. And I love Christmas Carolesque themes!!!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely set my DVR on this one.
Hugs

It looks like a great show…then again, being a teacher I could probably relate to parts of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info.
It's been many years ( my daughter is 30) since I heard the words "family night". But I will happily share this with my daughter and our five beautiful grandchildren. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWe don't watch that much TV so manage to avoid ads most of the time...
ReplyDeleteLove your new header on your blog! I just caught up on what has been happening in your world. The movie sounds great - I will get to programming my DVR soon!
ReplyDeleteWow! Family TV viewing. Imagine that. We really need to get back to family friendly viewing.
ReplyDeleteBusy, busy, busy...(sounds like bizzy, bizzy, bizzy) that's my very favorite part in the entire show!!! Yes, most of the prime time shows are almost embarrassing...certainly not for children.
ReplyDeleteI heard about this, as well as saw the commercials. I plan to watch it eventually…maybe because I'm a teacher. I'm all about uplifting or life-changing teaching movies.
