Kevin and America Go Through Adolescence Together

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 13:52:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mpb1 - The Wonder Years premiered when I was in middle school, and I tuned in each week to see what awkward adolescent battle or triumph Kevin Arnold would endure. Kevin experienced the same emotional ups and downs, doubts, and questions that all of us did and...

Cosby & Kids: A Winning Combination

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 13:32:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mpb1 - It's hard too beat the artful exchange between master comic Bill Cosby and a stubborn six year old. As an elementary school teacher I am well aware of the truth behind the title phrase "Kids say the darndest things." Adults and children both...

The Kratts Nurture Future Nature Nurturers!!

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 13:11:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mpb1 - Besides the fact that Martin and Chris Kratt have absolutely magnetic, bubbling personalities, the message they send to kids along with the fascinating critter trivia is valuable and highly entertaining.

Martin and Chris Kratt respectfully...

Pre-Schoolers Are Really Smart!

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 14:28:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mpb1 - Finally a show targeted at pre-school audiences that encourages thinking and problem solving! The show's characters are endearing, not only to children, but also to parents. No more nauseating (and hypnotic, for some reason) singing purple...

Hey, Science is fun!

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 14:07:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mpb1 - Bill Nye's science show for kids is fast paced, entertaining and funny. It is quite obvious that Mr. Nye not only knows his science, bur he also knows how to relate to kids. What a great combination! I wish some of my childhood science teachers could...

Sierra Print Artist Publisher: Easy to Use. Great Results.

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 14:37:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mpb1 - Print Artist 4.0 has been a blessing for me. Don't get me wrong, it hasn't converted me in any sort of religious fashion, but it has significantly helped me as a teacher. The best thing about it is that is is SOOO easy to use.

I purchased...

Good Phone, but Uncomfortable to Hold.

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 14:22:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mpb1 - I've owned the VTECH 1901 for about a year now. I have been very pleased with the way the phone works. It has a very clear sound, a great range, and it doesn't seem to gain interference from anything else around. It has the 900 Mhz technology which is...

You Don't Know Jack Volume II (Mac): I Do Know That I Love This Game.

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 14:18:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mpb1 - My boyfriend and I purchased this game right before Christmas. We'd heard about it, but we really didn't know what to expect. Since we first installed it, we have played it almost every day.

The game is fun and challenging, and full of a...

I am Still Fat!

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 22:59:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mpb1 - As far as treadmills go, the Athlon IQ2 is a fairly good one. I have been pleased with the durability and ease of use. I don't really like the fact that there are not really any pre-made programs - speed and angle has to be adjusted manually.

Millennium Princess Barbie: A Good Collector's Item.

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 22:49:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mpb1 - Barbie continues to be one of Americas most long-standing collectibles.

However, Barbie is completely disproportionate with legs twice as long as her torso and her look has helped to promote an unattainable and unhealthy physical image to...

A lot of car for the price!

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 22:18:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mpb1 - About 3 months ago, I found myself unexpectedly in the car market when my 1987 Mazda RX-7 just decided to give up on me! Since I had recently graduated from college and hadn't even been working a full year yet, I thought I was in serious trouble. I...

Not as Good as all the Hype.

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 22:16:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mpb1 - Overall, the George Forman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine is OK. It does cook very quickly & saves a lot of time, but I don't believe it reduces any more (if even as much) fat than conventional grills. Furthermore, the taste does not even...

Priceline Flight Reservations: Priceline.com - Lower Prices - Great Service

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 17:22:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mpb1 - My boyfriend started using Priceline.com last year. Since our first experience, we've gone back several times again. Priceline allows you to place a bid for airline tickets - then, they check with all the major airlines to determine if anyone will sell...
