My Top 10 Christmas TV Episodes!

It’s Christmas time again (I CAN’T believe it!), so it’s time to dust off the old Christmas movies and tv episodes. 

So, which ones made my list – and which didn’t quite make it? Here’s the video, and below that is some quick info about each show if you hadn’t heard of it before:

  • The Vicar of Dibley – a female Vicar surprises a small village and is a large, loving life lady who finds out just how crazy her village really is.
  • I Love Lucy/The Lucy Show – Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance play best friends in both of these shows. With funny slap stick disguises and disasters, Lucy is always dragging Viv along on another adventure.
  • Home Improvement – a tool obsessed father balances his local cable home improvement show, and his family life with often hilarious overlaps.
  • Friends – 7 friends in their twenties navigate living in New York City in the 90s. Almost too close, they are always involved in each others lives, and there’s never a dull moment.
  • The Big Bang Theory – four smart scientists join forces with a pretty waitress across the hall. While they try to fit in, she tries to stand out as an actress.
  • The Nanny – a Jewish cosmetics saleswoman ends up falling into being the nanny for a rich widowers three kids. There’s romance, growing up, and lots of sparkly outfits along the way.
  • Smallville – we get a look into Clark Kent before he becomes Superman, while he grows up in Smallville. With a young Lex Luthor also around, Clark has to try and become who he’s destined to be, but also have a teenage life.
  •  Psych – a hyper observant slacker drags his best friend into a business to be Psychic Detectives – even though he has no psychic abilities whatsoever. Falling into the job instead of going to prison, they fool the entire police department and help them solve crimes with over the top dramatics and silliness.
  • Remington Steele – with the world not ready to hire a female detective yet, Laura invents a pretend male superior that she can use as a front man. When a real con man shows up and publicly takes on the mantle, they have to work together as they move forward with their new partnership.
  • Brooklyn Nine Nine – following a group of police officers in the Brooklyn 99 precinct, we get short, witty episodes of what crime solving would be like if it had some amazing comedic talent as the ones who solve crimes and keep the streets safe.

 My honourable mentions were

  • Melissa and Joey – a former stock broker gets caught up in a scandal and resorts to becoming a nanny for his former boss’ two kids just to make ends meet.
  • The Fresh Prince of Bel Air – a kid from West Philadelphia is sent to live with his rich uncle and aunt in Bel Air. There he tries to keep his nose clean, check out the girls, and do the best he can with plenty of laughs and raps to go around.

I KNOW I missed some, so what ones didn’t I get that you love? Share them and Merry Christmas!

See You in the Adventures!

Hannah Montana | Where’d They End Up?

Jackson Stewart wasn’t blessed with the same musical talents as the rest of his family, but by gosh he made up for it with………. something

Okay, so we ALL know about Hannah Montana (at least I hope you do):

Girl has dual identity because girl wants to live normal life AND be a pop star. Girls family and friends have to keep the secret and help her from being found out.

QUIZ: Only Noughties Disney Channel Kids Will Ace This Test - Capital

But whatever happened to the minor characters after the screens stopped rolling. We can all guess what happened to Miley/Hannah (and no, I’m not taking into account the real Miley Cyrus – just the character), but what about Jackson Stewart, her big bro!

I like to think that Jackson ended up owning his own chain of beach kiosks and is a very successful manager. Rico partnered with him long ago, and they both own the chain together… which leads to some very interesting business meetings.

Jackson ended up finding the ‘love of his life’ and they have two kids together. They’re very happy in Malibu where he runs his empire and keeps in touch with his famous sister. He now houses his dad – Robbie Ray – but even though they’ve swapped who pays the mortgage, Robbie Ray is still ‘The Boss’. Jackson’s wife doesn’t mind.

What are your thoughts on where Jackson ended up? Do you agree, or maybe you saw things in a different ending for him… Share below!

That Really Exists?? (Legal Edition)

Okay, these are some SILLY sounding laws – that either STILL exist, or did at one point! 

Laugh Laughing GIF - Laugh Laughing Funny - Discover & Share GIFs | Belly  laughs, Laugh, Funny gif

It is illegal to hold Salmon (yes the fish), under suspicious circumstances. 

This one comes from England and Wales from 1986! It’s actually referring to illegally fished Salmon, but it sounds odd so I included it.

Chickens are NOT allowed to cross the road in Quitman, Georgia – it’s illegal. 

Have your farm animals under control at all times people!

You CAN’T change a lightbulb, unless you’re an electrician! 

Up until 1998, in Victoria Australia it was illegal to just change a simple lightbulb without being an electrician. (There’s probably a lightbulb joke in there somewhere, but I’m moving on…)

>>>Get a copy of my ebook KIDNAPPED Entanglement >>>here

It’s a legal requirement to SMILE (funerals and hospitals excepted)! 

In Milan, Italy that was from Austro-Hungarian times and there’s no excuse for being down in the mouth… literally.

No sleeping Donkeys in your bathtub after 7pm!

Arizona passed this one in 1924 after a dam broke and lots of resources were used to save a poor, stranded donkey.

Golf Accoring To I Love Lucy | I SPY, IN JULY

What is a stimey, dormie and niblik? Are they real golf terms, or just something that Ricky and Fred made up?

I Love Lucy is a classic, and one of my favourite episodes was “the Golf Game” where Ricky and Fred try to teach their wives such a difficult game, that they’d never want to play it again.
I tackled that very game, and here are the hilarious results!
