The sophistication of children's shows today is mind-boggling. The topics and subject matter are way beyond what the adults of today dealt with, topics that were best left to our parents. Today's Family First Site looks at a site that celebrates one of the best (and earliest) kids' telev... continue reading...

Finding quality entertainment for children these days can be a challenge. Most television and movies contain subject matter that isn't appropriate for young ones. Books can be the same, but easier to monitor. Part of being a responsible parent is ensuring that your children are protected f... continue reading...

There was a series of books that were very popular when I was growing up. It was about a talking pig and his barnyard friends, and their everyday adventures. No, it is not George Orwell's Animal Farm or anything like it. I have only recently found out that these long out of print bo... continue reading...

It has been a couple of years since we last checked in with the subjects of today's Family First Site, so I thought since summer is truly a state of mind (and after the winter we've had, who can wait!), a visit with one of the premier fun in the sun groups would be a great way to spend som... continue reading...

One of the most successful television mini-series of all times is entitled Shogun, and is based on the James Clavell's novel of medieval Japan.

"Look, up in the sky. It's a bird... it's a plane... no, it's Superman".
So went one of the most memorable openings in the golden age of radio, the show being the Adventures of Superman. Starting as a comic book hero in 1939, the man of steel has transcended all forms of entert... continue reading...
