...TIME-LIFE Television, has several things in common with its award-winning and much-beloved predecessor. Chief among these are intelligence and taste. The series is as handsomely produced, the Edwardian settings and costumes as lush and authentic, as any devotee of 165 Eaton Place could possibly wish. But Louisa Leyton, the heroine of The Duchess of Duke Street, would never pass muster with Hudson or Mrs. Bridges. She is impertinent, aggressive, and, worst of all, neither keeps her peace nor knows her place...
...four Radcliffe undergraduates. "What Have You Done for Me Lately?" is political art at its best, for it entertains first and instructs second. Lamb's play opens in the recovery room of a hospital as the male patient (Gary Kowalski) awakens to the piercing stare of the female surgeon (Louisa Hufstader). After watching him for several minutes, she reveals the nature of the operation she has just performed: an impregnated uterus has been implanted in his body. Yes, he will experience considerable discomfort, she tells him, "but nothing abnormal"; the pregnancy is expected to go to term...
...performances of the supporting characters, however, provide the sparkle to the show. Ed Redlich shines as the brash American detective, William Blore. Redlich exploits beautifully the gluttony, thickheadedness and grating bluntness of Blore--a hilarious character.

The Hargraves plant only vinifera, no hybrids. Remarked Alex: "If you can grow avocados, why grow brussels sprouts?" In spite of the Hargraves' recently planted vines and inexperience, their Sauvignon blanc was given top rating among New York wines tasted recently by Wine Author Alexis Bespaloff (The Fireside Book of Wine) and Vintage Magazine...
...Bounderby and the Gradgrinds know all facts and possess no feelings. Ignorance of their own hearts darkens their lives as the smoke outside darkens their windows. "You learnt a good deal, Louisa," says Mrs. Gradgrind (Ursula Howells), "-ologies of every kind, -ologies, -ologies, from morning till night, -ologies of every description. But there is something your father missed out, or forgot." It takes Mr. Sleary (Harry Markham), the disreputable owner of a circus, and Sissy (Michelle Dibnah), the daughter of a clown, to explain the lessons of dreams and imagination. Hard Times is the story of Louisa's slow...
