Aliens In America

Back to You - Season 1
$39.98
On a simplistic level, Back to You can be imagined as a mix of Frasier with Everybody Loves Raymond, with a touch of Murphy Brown. It is not as great as the first two, but it is as funny. Back to You is a very high quality show in all aspects, but Frasier is such an exraordinary masterpiece, it is difficult to compare most shows to it. Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton give superior performances, there is good chemistry between them and they are lots of fun to watch. The supporting cast is excellent and funny, with minor exceptions. The ten years old daughter is played by two different actresses, of which the first is better.
There are very few sitcoms as good and as funny as Back to You. Considering that the show was on the air for only one season, largely due to the 2007 Writers Guild strike, it is fortunate that it is available on DVD. It is a valued addition to our comedy collection.

I write as a "not comformist" natural scientist that recognizes that this book is an interesting postmodernist study of a extraordinarily deviant theme. As such this study "textualize" the problem of evidence and proof (of eg UFO abductions) and focuse at the cultural-political implications of this topic. Is easy (and same times necessary) to brand postmodernist critiques of mainstream science as "Higher Superstition" but the quality of analysis and writing of this book gives food to many more unexpected multidisciplinary questions that we dare to think of if we follow "only" the best of the debunkers arguments. Are members of the mainstream prepared to tolerate the use of the word "naivette" applied to the apostol of true science and UFO debunker Carl Sagan as does the author of this book?. Well, if we may learn something of she (the author) is that skepticism is a very subtle and hard adquired virtue not necessarily to be atributed only to the defenders of one position, in this case the people(natural scientists) on the side of the official political dogma.

This book is horrible. It's not funny; it's not enlightening; it's not a literary treasure. I struggled to finish this book. I do not recommend it.

It's a Puzzle

We had never heard of this duo before hearing them on NPR. We ordered the CD and absolutely love it! Very humorous and clever lyrics, with fun, lyrical music. Any child who like puns and play-on-words will find this delightful. Ranks with Tom Chapin's best songs (Billy the Squid, Backwards Birthday Party, Sorry, etc.)
There is also one beautiful, lullaby-type song, "King of my Mountain" with a wonderful message about simplicity, gratitude, and positive-thinking that I (mom) have fallen in love with.
Highly recommended!
