Yellow Submarine

Once upon a time... or maybe twice, there was an unearthly paradise called Pepperland. A place where happiness and music reigned supreme. But all that was threatened when the terrible Blue Meanies declared war and sent in their army led by a menacing Flying Glove to destroy all that was good. Enter John, Paul, George and Ringo to save the day! Armed with little more than their humor, songs, and of course, their yellow submarine, the Fab Four tackle the rough seas ahead in an effort to bring down the evil f-rces of bluedom.

Keeping Up Appearances: Hyacinth In Full Bloom

Tireless social climber Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced "Bouquet," of course) returns with more hilarious high-class hi-jinks. The set, 'Hyacinth in Full Bloom', includes 4 discs sold individually: 'My Way or the Hyacinth Way', 'Hints from Hyacinth', 'Home Is Where the Hyacinth Is', and the Holiday disc, 'Deck the Halls with Hyacinth'. The set includes the complete first and second seasons as well as all of the Hoilday specials.

Keeping Up Appearances: Hyacinth Springs Eternal

American sitcoms usually have a bland, likable central character who has to cope with obnoxious acquaintances--who usually provide most of the actual comedy. The British smartly put the comic personalities front and center, and Keeping Up Appearances has one of the best: The petty, pretentious, tyrannical Hyacinth Bucket (played by the impressive Patricia Routledge), a dowdy middle-class social climber with a piercing voice and an unshakable faith in herself.
