Book Review: The Hooterville Handbook by Stephen Cox

Classic television has received something of a Renaissance in recent years as a result of the launch of several “micro-networks” carrying reruns of old sitcoms. Now that TV Land and Nick-at-Nite have marched steadily into the 1990s, the older programs from the 1950s to the 1970s familiar to Baby Boomers and their kids who watched them on cable in the 1980s and 1990s have moved up the dial to new networks such as MeTV, Get TV, Decades, and Antenna TV. These channels are broadcast over the air, primarily on network affiliates secondary digital stations, but they are keeping alive old shows that are some of the classics of comedy.

This is a long way of getting to the point that the oldest shows are now so old that even the first generation of books celebrating them are now themselves classic. Consider, for example, the CBS sitcom Green Acres, which originally ran from 1965 to 1971 and has been in syndicated reruns ever since. In 1993, TV historian Stephen Cox wrote a book about the show called The Hooterville Handbook: A Viewer’s Guide to Green Acres, and that book, to date the only major work on Green Acres, is about to celebrate its 25th anniversary, making it a classic of its own!

Avishi by Saiswaroopa Iyer

12th July, 2017

Long before the times of Draupadi and Sita

Immortalised in the hymns of the Rig Veda

But largely forgotten to the memory of India

Is the Warrior Queen with an iron leg, Vishpala

Brought up in the pristine forest school of Naimisha, Avishi reaches the republic of Ashtagani in search of her destiny. When Khela, the oppressive King of the neighbouring Vrishabhavati begins to overwhelm and invade Ashtagani, Avishi rises to protect her settlement. But peril pursues her everywhere.

Separated from her love, her settlement broken, with a brutal injury needing amputation of her leg, can Avishi overcome Khela?

BenQ e-Reading LED Desk Lamp Review and Giveaway

I have a ten-year old son. Now that he's all grown up, it was time to get him a desk for his bedroom. Along with the desk came a need for a desk lamp. The timing couldn't have been better as I was asked to review a reading lamp from BenQ.

The BenQ e-Reading LED Desk Lamp is a rather large rotating lamp that goes around and tilts up-and-down, in-and-out thanks to a ball joint to give you a wide range of coverage. The light part at the top offers a 35" wide light range and provides more than enough lighting for your typical homework / reading needs at a typical desk. For the desk we just purchased, the lamp overshadows the desk as lamp is over-sized. BenQ does offer a smaller model, too, if this is too large.

Little Ant Books Series Giveaway

More books to try to win. This time for a six-pack. Open to US residents only, this ends on 8/6. Good luck and thanks for stopping by.

The Little Ant books are reimaginings of Aesop's classic fables, teaching timeless lessons like:

• Appearances can be deceiving (Little Ant and the Butterfly);
• Look before you leap (Little Ant Goes to a Picnic);
• You can't please everyone (Little Ant and the Cricket);
• Even the wildest can be tamed by love (Little Ant's Valentine);
• One good turn deserves another (Little Ant and the Dove); and
• United we stand, divided we fall (Little Ant and the Peanut, coming July 20, 2017).

I just finished reading this very entertaining children's book series of Little Ant Books by the incredibly talented author S.M.R. Saia. These moral stories follow Little Ant as he navigates through the challenges and frustrations of growing up. Each is whimsically illustrated by Tina Perko.
