NYPD Blue - Season 3
1 of 1 found this helpful Whilst the constant, almost disarmingly jerky and spasmodic movement of the camera might seem initially offputting, this series fully deserves the acclaim it has received.
As the burgeoning relationship between Simone (Jimmy Smits) and Sipowicz (Dennis Franz) develops further into deep friendship, there are plenty of examples of the more inflammatory nature of both individuals as they clash over principles - which serve only to make the series even more compelling.
The smell of testosterone that lingers over the predominantly male squad is wonderfully offset by some of the more tender moments, as Sylvia's pregnancy is closely monitored. For a series that has never been afraid to sail very close to the wind, the storylines border on the downright obtrusive at times, but the ability to capture the very raw emotions involved within a family relationship only cause the series to rise further above the mediocrity of many similar programmes.
Few directors at the time, never mind in the more politically-correct days we are currently in, would have dared to tackle issues such as lesbianism - and probably even fewer would have moved on into the actual "turning" of one.
While a great number of TV shows would claim to deal with "the real world", or "actual family life", many still fall far short into an idealised, we-always-seem-to-have-money scenarios that are played out so many times a week on our screens. Thank goodness for a series that sits up right in your face and almnost dares you into dealing with it.

Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever
3 of 3 found this helpful As a child this for me became one of those books that never ceased to be handled, a book from which drew so much enjoyment that it literally got read until it fell apart.
The level of detail within the illustrations is such that each time you look something else, previously onnoticed, will almost jump out, with that sort of "oh wow" effect.
The very nature of the simplicity of the words - to both write and speak - is what makes this such an almost must-have for any parent looking to develop their child's literacy and vocabulary. It's use of simple colour and everyday items is sure to capture child's imagination, and the slightly comical nature (phrases like "he doesn't eat the toaster") of presenting the world outside using animals will only serve to enhance the captivation.
As a "Brit", the only downside of this book is that it contains a number of "Americanisms", so it may confuse children who attempt to understand that these seemingly different words are in fact the same thing.
