Learning and teaching
We teach our programmes in a variety of ways, some traditional, some new. You will take part in workshops, lectures, seminars, and unsupervised practice sessions. We try to vary our teaching as much as possible so that you learn by encountering different situations and points of view. Many of our modules feature guest lecturers (professional writers, creatives, and publishers, for example). Others make use of the unrivalled resources that London offers by taking you out of the classroom.
As you progress, you'll spend more time in smaller classes where you'll be expected to take more responsibility for your learning as you develop confidence and skills. But whatever the format, you'll be taught by experts in their field who are passionate about their subject and committed to good teaching.
Independent Study:
For every hour spent in classes you will be expected to complete a further 2-3 hours of independent study. Your individual study time could be spent preparing for, or following up on formal study sessions; reading; producing written work; completing projects; rehearsing; and revising for examinations.
The direction of your individual study will be guided by the formal study sessions you attend, along with your reading lists and assignments. However, we expect you to demonstrate an active role in your own learning by reading and viewing widely and expanding your own knowledge, understanding and critical ability.
Independent study will foster in you the ability to identify your own learning needs and determine which areas you need to focus on to become proficient in your subject area. This is an important transferable skill and will help to prepare you for the transition to working life.
You will be assessed in a variety of ways. Some modules will be assessed by traditional exams, but the majority are assessed by coursework.
Coursework can mean essays, projects, individual or group presentations, log books, practical pieces, oral or memorisation tests. All coursework is compulsory because each piece of coursework contributes towards the final mark for a module. Drama frequently involves working with others, so some assessment is based around group work. However, we always try to find means of assessment that suit the subject matter being studied. We offer a wide range of practical and seminar-based module options. Drama modules involve a high level of commitment to the collective work done in practical classes and with other students outside of usual working hours.

ProfilesGRADUATE PROFILE:
Name: Rebecca Coxon
Studied: BA English and Drama
Currently: Rebecca secured a place in the BBC production Talent Pool and since graduating she has worked as a Production Management Assistant and Personal Assistant to an Executive Producer in the BBC's Factual, History Department
When did you graduate, and what was your final-year undergraduate research project on?
I studied English & Drama and graduated in July 2012. My final year dissertation was a research project on mental health and performance, focusing particularly on the work of performance artist Bobby Baker.
Why did you choose to study at Queen Mary?
The interview and open day I attended really made up my mind. The staff were lively and engaging, and the interview was challenging in a good way. The students who showed me around were lovely and helpful - I could tell they really enjoyed life at Queen Mary. Both the English and Drama departments offered an amazing variety of module choices: from more traditional modules like Shakespeare, Modernism or Chaucer, to the more experimental avant-garde, performance art and visual culture ones - so there was no doubt I would find modules that I liked. I chose a mixture of both and really enjoyed them all. It's a cheesy thing to say but I can't imagine having studied anywhere else and have never regretted my decision!
What was the highlight of your time at Queen Mary?
Many of my best memories come from my experiences with societies, sports clubs, volunteering and my part-time job working for the Student's Union cafe on campus. I highly recommend new students to get involved with societies, sports and the Student's Union in general. It's a great way to make friends, build up your skills and enjoy your time between lectures. If I was pushed for a specific answer... winning QM society of the year, becoming cheerleading national grand champs and meeting royalty (Princess Anne opened the new Arts Building) are probably in my top three highlights though!
How did you find life on campus and in London?
I really enjoyed it. My halls were great and the East End of London is such an interesting place to live; there's a lot of creative stuff going on so it's a really fun place to be at the moment. And of course being so near to central London makes it a dream location for English and Drama students – there are so many arts venues and theatres, as well as endless opportunities to find relevant part-time jobs, internships or volunteer alongside your studies. For example I stewarded at Shakespeare's Globe, helped run the Theatre Company, performed at Edinburgh Fringe, was a course ambassador and performed in the Olympic Ceremonies – all of which were relevant to my degree, boosted my CV and allowed me to meet lots of interesting and creative people. There's a huge diversity of opportunities for English and Drama students in London; it's really the perfect place to be.
What have you been doing since graduating, and how did studying at Queen Mary prepare you for it?
Just before graduating, and after a 4-month rigorous application and interview process, I secured a place on the BBC Production Talent Pool: a scheme that hires 100 people around the country and fast-tracks them into entry-level jobs in BBC Television and Radio production. I've been a Production Management Assistant and Personal Assistant to an Executive Producer in the London Factual, History Department for 8 months now and am really enjoying it. I've already been on two research and filming trips abroad and am currently working on a feature-length film that will be shown on BBC One later this year.
Studying at Queen Mary helped to prepare me in lots of ways; in fact the only reason I found out about the BBC talent pool was because the manager of the scheme came and did a talk at QM! During my three years at uni I went to lots of career events organised by QM and the University of London Careers Group: everything from networking events with people in the media, to interview and presentation skills workshops. Along with improved writing and communication skills developed throughout my degree, the career workshops helped improve my confidence when it came down to applications and interviews in particular. I also volunteered for the charity Nightline (whom QMSU supports), working 14-hour overnight shifts every few weeks. The extensive training I received for that role was invaluable and I use the skills I acquired from it every single day; I'd highly recommend volunteering for Nightline, or one of the many other charities based in London or on campus.
However, it was being part of the Queen Mary Theatre Company (QMTC) though that was the most enlightening and rewarding experience. Every year QMTC takes 30 students cast in 4 student-written and directed plays to Edinburgh Festival Fringe, as well as hosting 3 sold-out drama festivals and 30 plays throughout the year. I was lucky enough to be elected co-president in my final year which was such a fantastic learning curve and an amazing opportunity to organise these festivals, as well as make links with local East-end art venues, engage with other societies and be in charge of the budgeting/admin side of things - something I had never done before, and something that has become very useful for my current job.
Please visit the School of English and Drama website for more student and alumni profiles.
David WilkinsonBA English
Why did you choose to study at Queen Mary?
"I chose Queen Mary because I live in East London and because I was aware of its good reputation for English. I was impressed by the open day where I was made to feel welcome as a mature student and where I saw how much choice there is within the course; in the first year we covered areas from medieval literature to contemporary theory; this year I am learning about post- colonialism, 18th Century satire and literature after the First World War. There are dozens of interesting modules to choose from.
How did you find your academic and social experience at QMUL?
"The university is located in a nice part of London. It's a lovely campus on the Regent's canal with lots of good coffee shops and places to study. It's within walking distance of places like Victoria Park and Brick Lane.
"The teaching staff are very helpful and everything is well planned, we are set interesting and challenging work every week. I'm being trained to become a better thinker and I feel like I've learned a lot in the last year. I think the course is great and would highly recommend it."
Emmanuel AvdijanDrama
Why did you choose to study at Queen Mary?
"I decided to study at Queen Mary because it was based in the heart of London, one of the most diverse, experimental and culturally packed cities in Europe. Everything from theatre shows, to late night comedy clubs is on your doorstep.
How did you find your academic and social experience at QMUL?
"I love the way our lecturers approach teaching. In one session we may start by looking at the reasons people visited the original 1599 Globe theatre, and finish with a discussion of how contemporary live art performances have pushed the boundaries of theatre to offend, judge and perhaps even reconfigure modern day theatre goers.
"I live at home but try to get involved in the social side as much as I can. There is always something taking place on campus and all societies are very open to recruiting new members."

As far as the Florida thing goes, I would ask if we all have hind site? Do
we hate it!?
I understand sample ballots were mailed ahead of time and I would ask if new
rules governing the time in the voting booth is new this year . I have not
heard anyone say anything about the time until now. If this is a new
ballot, did the democrat designing the ballot consider a great many senior
citizens would be using the ballot. Maybe a test group needed to be set up
before the election. I think the ballot thing is very suspicious myself.
Doing your homework, knowing the candidate for whom you are voting before
you enter the booth is the responsible thing to do. Frankly, those who
don't know before they enter probably should not be there in the first
place. Time for homework is before the test not during the test.
Should the whole nation suffer because a handful (by comparison to the whole
numbers of voters) do not take it seriously enough to look at sample
material and be prepared?, or at least make their complaints or charges
before the election, not after because they don't like the outcome.

Three chefs raising the bar in Western-accented Front
Range town.
Golden, cozying up to the foothills west of Denver, is known as a charming town that plays up its Western roots, has a robust downtown and features the world's largest brewery (that would be Coors). It is also boasting an increasingly diverse and tasty food scene. Visit Golden organized a small, intimate itinerary to a trio of interesting downtown restaurants (well, two downtown and one not far away).
Abejas is Spanish for "bees," but this new restaurant has nothing to do with a honey-centric menu. The partners — Brandon Bortles and Barry Dobesh — met at the Hill Top Restaurant and went their separate ways when it closed. They rekindled their longtime dream of opening their own place, whose name subtly references the first letters of the partners' first names.
Located in a once-upon-a-time-Piggly-Wiggly a few steps off Golden's main drag, Shike Design, whose Denver previous restaurant projects include Biju's Little Curry Shop, Cuba Cuba, Epernay and Root Down, designed the interior. The rustic and responsibly sourced interior features reclaimed barn wood, corrugated metal and old doors from a ranch in Golden that was being sold. The sprightly, modern and creative menu likewise aspires to source as much of the menu locally as possible.
With Dobesh occupied these days at Brexi and Steakhouse 316 in Aspen, he brought in Nick Ames to helm the Abejas kitchen. The California Culinary Academy grad's C.V. includes Duo, an early culinary hotspot in Denver's Highlands 'hood.

The airport website doesn't mention a bus yet, but I see that a service called "Collective" goes to the bus station for a fare of 100 Mexican pesos, which is a little less than 8USD.
In Spanish, the word for this service is "Colectivo", which I assume to be a shared shuttle...

starter wrote: But I'm trying to understand the accurate meaning of the relevant part in MN 95. For instance, it says "The cultivation, development, & pursuit [BB: repetition, cultivation and development] of those very same qualities [BB: things; Ñanamoli: ideas]: to this extent, Bharadvaja, there is the final attainment of the truth." I'm trying to figure out what "those very same qualities/things/ideas" exactly mean.
starter wrote:I heard a talk saying that it's not necessary for a stream entrant to study the dhamma anymore since he has penetrated the teachings with wisdom. Some other talk mentioned that it's necessary to learn just enough Dhamma to build the "raft", and then it's not important to learn more of the teachings. Though as a beginner, I feel it's still necessary and important for a stream entrant to study the dhamma and use the teachings as guide for his practice. That's why I'd like to figure out if "those very same qualities/things/ideas" include, for instance, learning the dhamma ...
starter wrote:Final arrival at the truth [nibbana] is by the repetition, cultivation, and development of the following:
Learning the true dhamma/reflective acceptance of the dhamma – try the teachings out in practice – examine the results of trying-teachings-out – striving to practice according to the teachings ... Is my understanding of MN 95 correct?

I suppose you want to know what all this nonsense is about. You've come to the right place.
My name is Geraldine. This is my travel blog. My husband Rand said I needed a photo to go along with this page, so here's one of me the year I dressed up as Fezzik from The Princess Bride for Halloween:
Rand was Inigo Montoya.
And here's what we look like normally:
The story behind the blog:
My husband's job requires him to travel. A lot. For years, I sat behind a desk while he wandered around the world without me. It sucked for both of us, but probably more for me.
Then, one day, I was laid off.
It might have been one of the best things that ever happened to me.
Since then, I've been following him around the world. This blog is mostly for him. So he can remember the places we've visited, the things we saw. So he can know a little bit about what I see when he's off giving presentations and having meetings.
Yes, it's a travel blog. But at its core, it's a love letter to my husband.
A big, long, cuss-filled love letter. The kind he'd appreciate. The only kind I'm able to write.
That's not to say you won't find it useful as well. If you want to hear the rants of a former copywriter as I travel around, eat, and have a bit of an existential crisis, read on. If not, then … well, I suppose I've just wasted a bit of your time. Sorry about that.
(What's that? You still have questions, and this About page did nothing to answer them? Then check out my FAQs.)
The Book:
Since I started this blog back in 2009, it has grown bigger than I could have ever imagined. I recently completed a manuscript for a book about our adventures. Hopefully Lost will be published by Public Affairs in 2017. (Sign up here to be notified about its release.)
If you want to talk travel, Jeff Goldblum, or you wish to cast me in your new reality TV show about cupcakes, you can email me at email@example.com. (Note: my apologies, but unless we're close friends, I cannot give you tailored travel advice. I get too many of these requests and it's just become overwhelming. Also, I'm mostly clueless.)
I am represented by the amazing Zoe Sandler at ICM. If you have a really big, fancy inquiry, Zoe will be involved because I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
(DO NOT contact me with any of the following: press releases, freebie offers, guest post requests, requests to buy links/ad space, infographics, affiliate/partnership requests, or pitches of any kind. If you email me despite this warning not to, I will report you to Google and ridicule you on the blog. I will also sign you up for all sorts of unsavory mailing lists.)
You can also find me on the usual suspects of social media: Twitter, Facebook, and Google+.

Connecticut's State Board of Education voted 7-1 on Oct. 3 to lower by a few points the passing score for its math-teacher licensing exam, which 30% of prospective teachers fail. Schools across the state are facing a shortage of math teachers, and educators say Connecticut's cut-off score -- one of the highest in the nation -- has been a barrier to some candidates.

When I read Hanna Rosin's "The Case Against Breast-Feeding" article in the April issue of The Atlantic Monthly, I was well into my third trimester with my first baby. I had no plans other than to breast-feed, but reading this article gave me pause. In it, Rosin compares breast-feeding to the introduction of the vacuum cleaner, just another way to keep women tied to the household. She cites vast amounts of research to support the case that there isn't much difference between a breast-fed baby and one fed formula. She also highlights the fierce divide breast-feeding creates between a woman and her husband, one of them free to roam the world while the other remains tethered to the child.
This week, an article by Jenny Hontz on Newsweek's blog reveals that the IRS has ruled against tax relief for women who are medically forced to use formula after a double-mastectomy, and I can't help linking this and Rosin's article together. It feels, to me, to be just further evidence of the ever-growing case against formula.
As a new mother, just beginning to delve into this world (my daughter is now 6 weeks old), I have to say that the pressure to breast-feed is undeniable. From Angelina Jolie's perfect mothering examples to Dr. Sears and his ubiquitous attachment campaign, to that persistent "Breast is Best" phrase, which I can't even remember where I heard for the first time. As a brand new mom I was surprised by the militant amount of warnings I received, from family members to co-workers (some of whom don't even have kids), about how I should breast-feed my child. And while I never considered doing otherwise, I have to wonder how this pressure feels to women who are unable to breast-feed.
The Newsweek article profiles a woman who had a double-mastectomy in 2006 before the birth of her second child. After looking through the list of expendable medical expenses in her flexible spending account, the mother hoped to be able to deduct the cost of formula. After all, as the article states, "Dr. Scholl's footpads, sunscreen, birth control and prescription sunglasses all qualify as medical care for the 'diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease.' People with hearing impairments are allowed to include the cost of equipment to help them watch TV, and anyone who has lost a limb can count the cost of modifying a car as pre-tax income. Hypnosis, yoga, colon cleansing, massage and even dancing lessons are also considered medical costs with a doctor's note. However, infant formula for women medically unable to breast-feed because of breast cancer or HIV was nowhere on the list."
But the IRS ruled that formula is a personal expenditure (unlike yoga).
I can't help feeling outraged. First, that the ruling fell this way at all. I don't think that we should give tax breaks to everyone who wants to feed their baby formula, but for those who are medically unable to breast-feed and have no choice, I would hope that they would receive the same treatment as someone with a hearing impairment who gets to write off expensive medical equipment to supplement their loss. With formula coming in around a grand a year for an infant, this just seems further evidence of our ever-failing healthcare system.
I'm starting to wonder where the ceiling is on this "Breast is Best" campaign. I'm well into my 6th week of exclusive breast-feeding and I like it more than I thought I would. I like the bond it creates between me and my daughter, and I like the idea that I am able to provide nourishment from my own body. What I don't like is how constant it is, how time-consuming it is, and I don't like the divide it has created between me and my husband when it comes to our care-giving responsibilities. While I plan to soldier on (wish me luck as I enter the world of regular pumping in two weeks when I resume work), I still want to advocate for my sisters who can't/won't/don't want to breast-feed.
I'd like to see a turn towards a more forgiving stance on formula. Unfortunately, this IRS ruling doesn't leave me feeling optimistic.

Limit Pushing - Chrysler 300m Top Speed Test (Almost hit a truck)
(Limited: 111 mph) If you watch the end of the video, you get to see us almost hit a truck while driving at about 100 mph. The Chrysler 300M: The Chrysler 300M was produced from 1999 to 2004 after Chrysler's revival of the 300 name. Chrysler's goal of the 300M was to compete with similar sporty sedan imports which was a market not yet probed by other American auto makers. This time the 300 would be FWD with a 255 hp V6 engine car in the LH platform. This engine would be the only one available for the 300M. It was shared with the Plymouth Prowler and a limited edition R/T variant of the second-generation Dodge Intrepid. Rated at 253 HP, and 255 lb-ft of torque, it was connected to the 42LE, a four-speed automatic transmission with Autostick, which allowed manual selection of gears. The 300M was much more of a luxury car as opposed the older Chrysler letter cars.
Limit Pushing - Tuned Charger R/T 0-60 Test
Definitely the coolest engine bay I've seen on a Charger. The Dodge Charger LX: The original Dodge Charger was introduces in 1964 as a concept car based on the Dodge Polara, then a limited option for the Dart GT in 1965, and in 1966 the Charger became its own car for the Dodge line up. Dodged continued to make the Charger until 1987 when Chrysler pulled the plug on the Charger line. In 1999, Dodge introduced a new Charger R/T concept car that included four doors and a proposed use of compressed natural gas for fuel. Finally, after 19 years of waiting, the Dodge Charger LX was introduced in 2005 for the 2006 model year. The Charger LX was created to continue the Dodge Charger line, and replaced the Intrepid as Dodge's sedan. It shares a platform with the Chrysler 300, the third generation Dodge Challenger, and the Dodge Magnum. The new Charger came in the variants SE and SXT with Chrysler's 250 hp 3.5 V6, the R/T version which made use of the 340 hp 5.7 L Hemi V8, and the SRT-8 model powered by the 425 hp 6.1 L Hemi V8. The Charger came in two other variants known as the Daytona R/T, which was decorated with retro decals and sported a higher output 350 hp (368 hp as of 2009) 5.7 L hemi, and the Super Bee SRT8 that came painted in "Detonator Yellow" and decorated with "Super Bee" decals.
Limit Pushing - Chrysler 300c Hemi Top Speed Test
130 MPH was what we were expecting, but we just couldn't get that needle to move any further. It is pretty damn fast considering the thing is shaped like a brick. The 300C is limited at 130 MPH. The 300C: The 300C comes with a 5.7 L Hemi V8. At full power, the 300C creates 340 hp and 390 lbs of torque. This engine runs on four cylinders when less power is needed to reduce fuel consumption. Even with this energy saving mode, the 300C runs at 15 mpg city, 23 mpg highway. All 300Cs use a 5-speed automatic transmission and standard 18 inch chrome-clad alloy wheels. Heritage Edition: The Heritage Edition 300C comes with the 5.7 L Hemi engine and many of the SRT-8's exterior modification, added chrome, special tires on 18 inch wheels, and SmartBeam headlights. Special SRT Packages: In 2007 the SRT Design group created a package for non-SRT 300C's that includes performance suspension, SRT 20 inch polished aluminum wheels, a high speed engine controller with revised tuning for 5.7 L HEMI that brings the power to 350 HP, high flow air cleaner system, and performance Exhaust. The SRT-8: The SRT-8 version of the 300 includes a 6.1 L Hemi V8 which produces 425 hp. This engine produces 0-60 mph times of 5.1 seconds. The SRT-8 includes leather SRT-8 performance seats, 20 inch polished aluminum wheels, Brembo brakes, and rear lip spoiler.
Limit Pushing - 2003 BMW 330ci Top Speed Test
Before I say anything, I (as well as everyone else) am very aware of the BMW 155 mph limiter. In the United States, The 2003 330ci was limited to 135 mph...promise. This was one of our more interesting videos that 1) was not edited well since it was made when we were just starting out 2) lost a lot of its popularity over time. So here is the re-release, I hope everyone enjoys it! The BMW 330ci: The BMW E46 330 ci was the highest end 3 series you could buy (that wasnt a M car). The 330 sported a 3.0 Litre inline 6 (235 Hp) . There are a select few 330ci that have the smg transmission. The body styles of the 330 were the coupe, convertible, and sedan. The optional performance package stiffened up the suspension, lowered the car, added M rims, and whited out signals and tail lights. Das BMW 330ci: Das BMW E46 330 Ci war das höchste Ende 3 Reihe, die Sie kaufen konnten (das nicht a.m.-Auto war). Die 330 sported einen 3.0 Liter inline 6 (235 Pferdestärken) zusammengepaßt mit einem automatischen Senden mit 5 Geschwindigkeiten mit steptronic oder einem Handsenden mit 6 Geschwindigkeiten. Es gibt wenig 330ci ein auserwähltes, das das smg-Getriebe haben. Die Körperarten der 330 waren das Kupee, das Kabriolett und die Limousine. Das wahlweise freigestellte Leistungspaket versteifte sich herauf die Aufhebung, senkte das Auto, addierte m-Kanten und whited heraus Signale und Endstücklichter.

The Discussion
Just remember that File History is what it says, FILES. Your programs are not backed up. In order to do that, you need to use the "Windows 7 File Recovery" mentioned near the end of the blog post.
However, there ARE some important differences for "Windows 7 File Recovery" in Windows 8.
First, the recovery partition now has to be 350MB, which is larger than Windows 7 used. If you upgrade a Windows 7 machine and your System Image fails, this is likely the cause. Find a 3rd party tool that can expand it or do a clean install and it's fixed.
Second, the recovery disc is now UEFI boot. This means if you have an ultrabook and don't use optical drives, the "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool" Microsoft provided for Window 7 will fail to create a bootable USB Flash drive from your recovery disc for you. Microsoft hasn't bothered to update it.
Speaking of that, can anyone recommend a tustworthy took that can create a bootable EFI Win 8 Recovery USB Stick from the ISO? Anyone know WHY Microsoft doesn't just let us choose a USB Flash drive to store our Recovery Disk to? Let's hope Microsoft realizes it's a optical disc free world faster than they did for floppy drives...

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
I am developing a streaming audio application for the Webkit browser based on HTML5.
This app allows the user to select from about 500 urls each belonging to a different radio station.
The problem is that though everything works as expected in the simulators, the audio streams are not coming throug when a test is done on an actual blackberry. The app links to different external urls to retrieve radio station image logos, but the external audio urls are not working. I've had two users try on two different blackberries with the same result. They are using OS6 and OS7 so these are both newer phones. Can anybody tell me what could be going wrong??
Solved! Go to Solution.
It looks like I need to set access permissions in the configuration file, after doing some digging on this site.
This is something youdon't have to do this when you use the simulators.

If you were a child sometime between 1960 and 1990 then chances are good that you watched at least a couple episodes of children's programming starring Bozo the Clown. Depending on where you lived in the country, the look, sound, and line-up of your show might have been any combination. You see, Bozo the Clown was one of a very few shows (including Romper Room) that operated as a franchise rather than in syndication.
Marketing genius Larry Harmon bought the rights to the clown he once portrayed and allowed local media markets to hire their own Bozos. My personal favorite was Chicago area clown Bob Bell, whose show created the kid favorite Grand Prize Game. Harmon's most loved clown though, was Frank Avruch in the original Boston market.
Now, after many years of speculation on when it would happen, Larry Harmon has offered up 30 episodes (each 23 minutes long) remastered from his original film. Each episode features Avruch as Bozo, The World's Most Famous Clown, entertaining a studio audience full of elementary school children who seem glued to his every move. Recorded between 1959 and 1970 it is not exactly the Bozo of my early eighties youth, but those of you who watched in earlier years will not be disappointed.
In each episode you get a much expected Bozo game where a child pulled from the audience gets the chance to win a prize, a Bozo cartoon featuring his trusty sidekick Butch, and – if you're lucky – an appearance by Mr. Lion or Kookie the Boxing Kangaroo. Both Lion and Kookie were portrayed by the amazing Caroll Spinney, who you might remember for his later work as Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street.
I have to say honestly that two things are working against me with this four-disc DVD set. First, being 27, I find that the charm and wonder I experienced as a child watching Bozo is much diminished. I can still sit down and watch an episode of The Smurfs or Fraggle Rock and find them entertaining, but Bozo just does not have that same appeal. I will be calling my mother in just a bit to thank her for watching those hundreds and hundreds of episodes with me.
My other disappointment is that Frank Avruch just does not seem to bring the excitement and energy to the show that my beloved Bob Bell did. Perhaps it is a regional love and Boston fans will appreciate this DVD more than me; however those who did not grow up with this Bozo will find themselves disappointed.
After 47 years on air, making it one of the longest running shows on television, it was time to immortalize Bozo in his own DVD. I just wish that Larry Harmon would have chosen to include a few episodes from each of the major franchised markets, giving us all a little of the Bozo the Clown that we remember.Powered by Sidelines
