AMERICAN FAMILY is a great series. I'm glad that PBS decided to place it on their schedule. The acting is terrific. Raquel Welch gave a wonderful performance in the third episode which also provided her with a chance to sing which she did beautifully. Hope the show continues its high quality.

In general, critics have been much too harsh regarding their comments on MAME. It's simply an old-fashioned, entertaining musical that's fun to watch. Lucille Ball does a fine job in the title role. She gives a thoroughly professional performance and looks fantastic in all those wonderful costumes. She was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy Motion Picture. The rest of the cast is terrific. It makes a delightful addition to your video collection. MAME may not be great art but it is very enjoyable, especially if you are a Lucy fan.
