But, there is one exception.  Every one of those people in this movie are all 100% midgets in real life….that is, “Little People” under 4 feet 10 inches tall.  Mind you, I am 4 feet 10 inches tall too….but I am not a midget. :)

 The “Little People” in Tiny Town all ride on Shetland ponies instead of adult horses. They have voices obviously sounded like they are high on helium.  If you have seen the 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz” with the Munchkins, you’d know what I mean (most of the actors in this movie played the Munchkins in the “Oz” movie a year later).  The movie sets (like the saloon doors) are all normal sized – one of these people walked UNDER the saloon doors!

 Here’s a website review of “The Terror of Tiny Town” movie from “Oh! The Humanity”, considering ‘it’s so bad it’s funny”:  http://www.ohthehumanity.com/review.php3?ID=400

This looks like an interesting movie to me, and I would like to watch it one day.  But some people out there thinks this movie is hilariously bad in a way for an “all midget western”, like the musical numbers. Like this guy's review:  http://www.thunderchunky.co.uk/tinytown.html

 Here's another site with the movie's dialogue, a mini-movie you can download, photos, and more: http://www.badmovies.org/movies/tinytown

    The 1960s-early 1970s TV series "Bewitched" is one of my favorite classic sitcoms.  I used to watch this show after I got home from school growing up, and as an adult today, I still love the show. :)  The year I was born, in 1969, was the year they did the "Darrin switch" from Dick York to Dick Sargent.

     The main focus of this show is of an average family living in Connecticut named Darrin and Samantha Stephens.  Samantha (played by Elizabeth Montgomery) was actually a witch who was more than 200 years old but she looked about 30 years old. She married a mortal man named Darrin Stephens (played by Dick York, then later Dick Sargeant), who sometimes had to tell Sam not to use her witchcraft, which is by wiggling her nose. Sam does use her magic only to help Darrin and to help whenever is necessary on the show. What made matters worse for Darrin is Sam's mother, Endora (played by Agnes Moorehead) who is also a witch....and a meddling mother-in-law who never said his name right. Darrin and Sam had two children: a girl named Tabitha (a witch) and a boy named Adam (perhaps a warlock - we don't know). The actors who played the kids were 2 sets of twins.

There are other witches and warlocks in Samantha's family: her father, Maurice; her bumbling Aunt Clara; Uncle Arthur the prankster; Cousin Serena; and others.  There is also a doctor in the family, but he's no regular doctor -- he's a warlock named Dr. Bombay (played by Bernard Fox). There was also a "babysitter" who's a witch but a very nervous one, named Esmerelda (played by Alice Ghostley).   Here's one of the BEST characters in "Bewitched" - the nosy neighbor Gladys Kravitz. The actress who played her first, Alice Pierce, was hilarous...then after she died, Sandra Gould replaced her as Mrs. Kravitz.  Her long-suffering husband, Abner, was played by George Tobias, was also great.  Darrin's boss in the show was Larry Tate, a money-hungry man but also tries to please his clients, was played by David White.

Now coming out this month (in June 2005), there's a movie version of "Bewitched" with Nicole Kidman, this time as "Samantha", and Will Farrell as "Darrin" (I prefer Jim Carrey as Darrin because they favor each other so much and have the same rubbery expressions).  Here's the link for the movie: http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/bewitched/site

Here's a very good "Bewitched" site for both the TV show and the movie, plus all kinds of trivia and facts about the series and the stars: http://www.harpiesbizarre.com

Here's 2 thumbs up to Ms. Montgomery. :)

    Have you ever seen strange closed captioning on your TV...you know, words or sentences that didn't make sense? I did and I thought it was funny.

Well, the website master who created the website in the link below knows what you are talking about. :)  He created Captionese.net, a website full of weird closed captioning that he had seen, and other people who submitted their own are included in the archives.

Enjoy Captionese.net and have a good laugh! :) :

"I have always wondered about that show for a lot of reasons --- here's mine:

1. If the professor is so smart with the stuff he did on the island, how come he couldn't figure out how to fix that boat, the SS Minnow??

2. If it was a 3 hour tour, why did Mr. Howell bring his teddy bear (the one he sleeps with)?? It's not like he was going to sleep during a tour on a boat since Lovey (his wife) was there with him.....and why was he and Lovey bringing all of that CASH?????

3. I noticed in one episode, Ginger had on a "nurse's uniform". She brought THAT on a 3 hour tour???

4. How in the world did that radio they listen to run without batteries????

5. They've been on the island for 15 years (ever seen the reunion movies??)...so if that's the case, the Skipper's and Gilligan's clothes should've been tattered by now....but no, they were like new since the series has started, and even in every episode, their clothes had no wrinkles and no holes. :) You know they wore the SAME CLOTHES (sometimes they do change to other outfits...like a "chef's outfit"-- on a 3 hour tour in a tiny ship??????). What's up with that? :)"

      I feel that if these problems were solved, especially the boat being fixed, there wouldn't be a show for very long....so they had to make these storylines of them trying to be rescued but failed. :)  Sometimes, the episodes are a tad unrealistic, like the one of Gilligan being a radio everytime he opens his mouth, or a spitting image of Mr. Howell. :)  They also came up with some interesting solutions like a makeshift drill and dental seat, so the Professor can fix Gilligan's teeth, and also some hair dye (Mrs. Howell's idea) to color Gilligan's white hair (he later became bald). :)

 But all of these is what makes this show FUN and entertaining to watch! :)

    If you ever watched the 1980s comedy "The Facts of Life" on TV, you may have seen the character "Blair", who was the pretty blonde rich girl in the fictional all-girls school that was headed by Mrs. Garrett.  The actress who played "Blair" was Lisa Whelchel.  As a teenager in the 1980s, "Facts of Life" was one of my favorite TV shows.
    Unlike most child stars, Lisa Whelchel never went into drugs or did any dangerously dumb things. Instead, she married a pastor, now has 3 kids, been in a year-long RV trip throughout America, had written a couple of books, and recently been in a "Facts of Life" reunion movie (which I have seen -- it is really good to see them again after over 10 years the show was canceled!). Lisa also loves scrapbooking where she takes lots of pictures as a hobby, and also homeschools her 3 kids.
     
      Here's the URL of Lisa's official website:  http://www.lisawhelchel.com   

      In her website, she does her journal which you can view under "Coffee Talk", plus seeing her own photos of herself and her family. Lisa updates it now and then, but she does a great job.  You can view her chats through CrossWalk in "Coffee Talk",  and you can even order one of her books or photos online (and have them personally autographed!!).

      I feel Lisa is a very down-to-earth woman, and from reading her journal, I feel that I am reading from someone as a PERSON, not from as a famous star. Lisa had put a smile on my face so many times because her love for God is so real, and how much she adores her family and her life.  I really admire her as she betters herself in so many things after being in the limelight for years -- and not being on some of the child actors' level (like the 1980s "Different Strokes" kids, who were on drugs and crime in real life).
 
     Again, here's her website...so enjoy! :-)
