SUMMARY:Carl Reiner
DESCRIPTION:Carl Reiner was one of the funniest men ever to appear\, write for\, or direct a TV episode! \nAt 97\, he was the oldest celebrity active on Twitter – and never contemplating retiring from show business! Join me for a fast\, funny\, and fascinating look at one of America’s classic comic treasures\, Mr. Carl Reiner \nCarl Reiner first exploded into the American consciousness as the straight man on the immortal Sid Caesar’s great TV shows. \nWorking alongside writing legends including Mel Brooks\, Woody Allen\, Neil Simon\, Selma Diamond\, and Larry Gelbart\, Carl Reiner became one of the volatile Caesar’s favorite co-stars and most trusted writers. \nTheir classic “Professor” sketches are still hilarious sixty-five years after they first aired. And his lifelong friendship and collaboration with Mel Brooks began as a result! \nAfter the Sid Caesar shows ended\, Carl Reiner created The DIck Van Dyke Show. This program would prove to be one of the most influential\, funniest\, and most transformative situation comedies of all time. \nAfter Reiner and Van Dyke ended the show at the height of its popularity\, the brilliant writer/producer/director began working on feature films. \nCarl Reiner created the cult classics “Where’s Poppa” and “Oh\, God” before embarking on a brilliant partnership with Steve Martin. The Reiner/Martin films include some of the best comedies of Steve Martin’s career\, including “The Jerk\,” “All Of Me\,” and “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid. \nWe’ll enjoy clips and stories from all of this – and\, of course – the brilliant “2\,000-Year-Old Man” routines with Mel Brooks. Don’t miss this excellent presentation!

SUMMARY:2000: Life in America 25 Years Ago
DESCRIPTION:Travel back to the year 2000\, when America stood on the cusp of the 21st century. The dawn of the internet age was in full swing\, with AOL chatrooms\, Napster\, and the first major dot-com bubble shaping how people connected and consumed media. \nY2K fears loomed large\, but the new millennium arrived without the predicted chaos. Politically\, the nation witnessed one of the most contentious presidential elections in history\, as the Supreme Court ultimately decided the Bush-Gore race. \nAmong the famous people who left us in 2000 were Hedy Lamarr\, Steve Allen\, Walter Matthau\, and Charles Schulz. \n2000 was also a landmark year in American popular culture. On television\, Survivor revolutionized reality TV\, while Gladiator dominated the big screen\, winning the Academy Award for Best Picture. Meanwhile\, NSYNC and Britney Spears were at the peak of their pop stardom\, and the Nokia 3310 became the must-have cellphone of the year. \nConsumer goods reflected the digital shift\, as DVD players became increasingly popular\, and gas prices hovered around $1.56 per gallon. \nFast-moving\, nostalgic\, and packed with surprises\, this multimedia program offers a fresh perspective on the year 2000. Whether you remember the era vividly or want to learn what made it so pivotal\, this engaging presentation is the perfect way to reflect on the cultural and historical milestones that shaped the early 21st century. Sign up today and take a step back to where it all began! \n====================================== \nCOST\nThe cost for the program is a minimum donation of $5.00 to help support my work.\nPAYMENT OPTIONS \nCash/Check\nPayable to: Barry Bradford\nMail to:\nBarry Bradford\nP.O.
