A surreal British comedy that some have compared to MONTY PYTHON, THE GOODIES uses a similar brand of slapstick, dry verbal wit, and absurdity. It lasted for over ten years on the BBC, but often had difficulty finding the right audience. Many believed it was for children, but others pointed to the fact that much of the comedic material was inappropriate for the young, revealing how difficult it was to pin down the program conventionally. Every episode, the three protagonists--Tim, Graeme, and Bill--get themselves into a strange situation because of their willingness to do anything, anytime, and anywhere. This release contains three episodes of the television comedy series: the classic
Kitten Kong,
Scatty Safari,
and
Scoutrageous.
Rediscover this largely and unfairly forgotten group of British comics with this release.

Originating as a spinoff of MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY, THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW premiered in 1960 and, featuring one of the most beloved television fathers of all time, quickly charmed its way into the hearts of audiences. Set in the fictitious environs of Mayberry, North Carolina, the series chronicles daily life in that peaceful Southern hamlet through the gently humorous eyes of town sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith). A widower raising his young son, Opie (a pre-HAPPY DAYS Ron Howard), with the help of his live-in spinster aunt, Bee (Frances Bavier), Andy capably navigates single parenthood with the same goodhearted wisdom that he brought to his law enforcement duties--that is, when he wasn`t being hampered by the fidgety, bug-eyed antics of his bungling deputy sheriff, Barney Fife (Don Knotts). This collection presents all 32 episodes of the series` eventful fourth season, which introduced goofy gas-station attendant Goober Pyle (George Lindsey) as a replacement for his cousin, Gomer (Jim Nabors), who went on to anchor his own spinoff series with GOMER PYLE, U.S.M.C. The collection also includes the fan-favorite episodes
Opie the Birdman
and
Citizen`s Arrest,
as well as the TV Guide-listed classics
Barney`s Sidecar
and
The Haunted House --wholesome throwbacks to a simpler time.

French chef Jacques Pepin uses the college graduation of a family friend as a springboard to a lavish alfresco buffet lunch inspired by Gallic culinary traditions. Pepin's sophisticated menu includes smoked trout with an egg and pepper salad; boneless chicken stuffed with pork, black mushrooms, pistachios, and brandy; baked ham with an apricot-mustard glaze and peach sauce; buttered Swiss chard; and herbed cheese served with roasted garlic. Two desserts--layered chocolate cake and a cherry-raspberry puff-pastry--round out this satisfying meal that is perfect for a summer afternoon celebration.
