Happy Days

Hello everyone, this blogs theme is Happy Days. Happy day was created by Garry Marshall.  This tv show won three Golden Globes, and many other awards. This is one of the funniest classic sitcoms I know. It stars Henry Winkler as Arthur Fonzarelli a.k.a. Fonzie. Erin Moran as Joanie, Anson Williams as Potsie, Ron Howard as Richie, and Scott Baio as Chachi. It first aired in 1974 and went on till 1984.

This classic tv show was about the Cunninghams and their friends. The Cunninghams consisted of Richie (older brother), Joanie (younger sister), Marion (Mom), and Howard (dad). Fonzie was one of Richie’s close friends, as is Potsie. Chachi is Joanie’s boyfriend in the show. After a couple seasons Richie leaves and goes to the army, while missing his girlfriend, soon to be wife. We are later introduced Joanie and Richie’s cousin who becomes a P.E. teacher at the local High School.

Fonzie is the cool guy who attracts all the girls. Potsie is an amazing singer who is Richie’s friend. Joanie is a smart, pretty, cheerleader. Chachi works Al who owns a popular ‘hangout’ diner place, where Potsie sings. Along the way they all encounter new friends and problems. This sitcom is an amazing classic and a really good show.

Hogan's Hero's

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! So this blog is going to be about Hogans Heros. This classic is about prisoners in a P.O.W. camp. It takes place in Germany during World War 1. There are three American prisoners, one British, and one French. The p.o.w. groups leader is Colonel Hogan, one of the Americans. He is the senior prisoner of war officer. Which means he gets to talk to Colonel Klink, which is the commandant of Stalag 13. The other two Americans are Carter and Kinchloe (also known as Kinch).  The British guy is Newkirk, and the French guy is LeBeau. They were captured there on purpose, to help escaped prisoners get back to England. They are constantly in touch with England because of Col. Klinks stupidity. They have several underground tunnels and secret radios. Since Klink has a perfect 'no escape' record, they are frequently being visited by Nazi officers. With Hogans quick wit they always get away with sabotage. 
Col. Klink isn't the only guards dealing with Hogan and his group. The other main officer is Sgt. Schultz, he is in charge of all the guards at stalag 13. He is best known for saying "I know nothing!!" whenever he would see Hogan's group doing something mischievous. Often times the Gestapo would think Hogan is up to something ,which he always is, and would try to prove it but would end at a dead end.

Doctor Who Part 2

This is a continuation from my last post on Doctor Who.  In my last blog I told you all about the many different doctors that there has been, and about its history. So in the last portion of that blog it mentions Jenna Coleman as a companion. Many of you might be wondering what a companion is, well a companion is the person who travels with the doctor. The Doctor usually always travels with at least one companion. Sometimes there are two companions or maybe just one for a particular episode.
In the picture above it shows all the Doctors and who each of their companions are. The very top row (from left to right) is all the doctors.  Below each Doctor shows a picture of all the companions he traveled with. In the far right row it shows the 11th Doctor (Matt Smith), he traveled with two companions at once. Those two companions were Amy and Rory. Amy was played by Karen Gillan and was Matt Smith's first companion. Amy's daughter that she had with Rory (Arthur Darvill) is River Song. River Song later becomes the Doctors wife. River is part timelord (which is what the doctor is) because she was born in the TARDIS. Some of my favorite companions are Rose Tyler (Billie Piper), Amy (Karen Gillan), Rory (Arthur Darvill), Clara Oswald (Jenna Louise Coleman), Captin Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), and River Song (Alex Kingston). 

The easiest way to understand the complicated show of Doctor Who is to watch it. I have so many favorite episodes. They are all so fantastic and creative. Some of the Doctors lines are so short, but they are the cleverest lines. One of my favorite was the 50th anniversary. When John Hurt, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Jenna Coleman, and Billie Piper were all in the same episode together. If you only want to watch one episode I would recommend "The Eleventh Hour" which is Matt Smith's first ever episode. It explains the Doctor so well. If I had to explain the doctor I would say that "he is a very clever/tricky alien, from Gallifrey. He lies a lot, you can never trust him while you can always trust him. He is amazing and so smart. He's the Doctor."
