Mister Rogers' Neighborhood: 1101: Death of a Goldfish (1970)
Best episode ever.
Watched this episode as a child, a great episode!
It he'll
It helped feel better about my grandfather dying.
Life Flight: The Movie (1987)
Compelling and well done!
Not sure where the reviewer was coming from that said Michael's witnessing was in "codes and instructions" He uses a couple of very straight forward scriptures answering Rob's questions about being born again and prayer. No hidden meanings or agenda and definitely no codes. Furthermore Michael struggles with knowing all the answers or what to say to Rob so he does some research and comes up with those answers from the Bible, not only for Rob but ultimately for himself as he learns to share his faith. Actually I thought it was very convincing showing how Christians really do struggle with how to share their faith and yet he persists and does so in a great way. This is further developed by Michael rehearsing all his conversations with Rob to the young man in a coma. It shows how Michael really cares about Rob and is sincerely trying to help him as a friend. As far as impact, I first saw this in 1987 as a new Christian and I remember how it really did inspire me. I later became an RN and work in an ICU now and I feel that this movie had a direct impact on my later career direction. When you consider the time and low budget this film was made on it was very well done.
Early Edition (1996)
A show with heart!
Some reviewers mentioned this show had an indefinable 'something" that made it great. I would offer this show had heart. Meaning great characters with human interaction and emotion that is so lacking in most shows on the air now. That same quality is seen in old movies and shows from the past like Emergency, Adam-12, or St. Elsewhere. The idea of Gary getting the newspaper and changing the past, although interesting, only gives a platform for the great character development and human drama that revolved around Gary helping the citizens of Chicago and forming great friendships and relationships. I would recommended anyone to get this series on DVD, and I hope writers will bring back this type of character development in the future. I really miss shows like this.
