TV Guide Spotlight


It's a blast from the past as Mill Creek Entertainment presents its first TV Guide Spotlight collection of classic TV shows for all ages from the '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s.
 
Are you tired of the same old sex-filled, blood-drenched, innuendo-laced, 'reality-fakery' and ultra-violent TV shows seen on TV nowadays?

Are you hungering for the 'good ol' days' when TV entertained and didn't preach?  Do your remember when jokes were clean and not dirty, when family meant something and the line between good and bad was clearly drawn? 

Well, sit back, get comfortable, break out the popcorn and get ready for some family-friendly entertainment from TV series long gone but never forgotten.

Kids can enjoy 20 episodes of Super Action Animation with such classic shows such  as Jayce And The Wheeled Warriors, Street Sharks, COPS, Liberty's Kids, Where On Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?, Pole Position and Sherlock Holmes In The 22nd Century.

For small children the Totally '80s Toons turns up the cute and cuddly factor with Heathcliff, Dennis The Menace, The Littles, Care Bears, Little Clowns Happytown, The Get Along Gang and Nellie The Elephant.  Imagine, watching cartoons and learning something too?

The 1960s and early 1970s had its share of funny ladies, Mill Creek's Leading Ladies Of Classic Comedy brings classy back to comedy with Bewitched, I Dream OF Jeannie, The Flying Nun, Maude and everyone's favorite teenage girl: Gidget.

The 1970s brought social relevance to comedy but in a roundabout way.  African Americans finally broke out in top comedies that included The Jeffersons, What's Happening!!, Good Times, Diff'rent Strokes and Benson.  

All of the shows broke the color barrier and showed that people (no matter their color) as people. Is it any wonder they were Ground Breaking Sitcoms Of The '70s?

The 1990s brought edgier comedies to TV-none which took themselves too seriously.  News Radio, Just Shoot Me!, The Nanny, The Jeff Foxworthy Show, 3rd Rock From The Sun, The Larry Sanders Show, Mad About You, Ned And Stacy, Action and That '70s Show all poked fun at conventional families and couples while still  retaining their off-the-wall humor.  Look for them all in Great Comedies Of The '90s.

Cop Shows Of The '70s took crime on with a vengeance!  No longer were cops two-piece suit caricatures of law enforcement officers.  They looked, acted and reacted like real people placed in often unreal situations.

Fierce, unafraid and determined to stop crime, '70s cops were the stars of late night TV.  Classic series include S.W.A.T., Starsky & Hutch, Charlie's Angels, Police Woman and The Rookies.  While their the stars of each series were eye candy the stories they told were anything but sweet.

Pick up each collection today and get ready to relive the wonderful days of yesteryear with classic TV shows.
