加里森敢死隊  Garrison's Gorillas[/SIZE][/COLOR]
當年曾經轟動中國大陸的美國電視系列片《加里森敢死隊》，講的是二戰時期，美國陸軍中尉加里森從監獄里挑選了四個各懷絕技的在押犯，組成一支敢死隊，深入敵後執行各種特殊任務的故事。

SYNOPSIS
This action show revolved around a motley crew of commandos recruited from prisons to use their "special skills" against the Germans in World War II. They had been promised a presidential pardon at the end of the war if they worked out - if not, they could expect execution!
The four prisoners/commandos were: Actor, a handsome con-man; Casino, a tough safecracker; Goniff, a slender, likable cat burglar and Chief, a rugged, somber American Indian skilled in the use of switchblades! They were led by West Point graduate Craig Garrison and headquartered in a secluded spot in England.


Garrison's Gorillas（《加里森趕死隊》）是受《the Dirty Dozen》（ 《十二惡漢》）的成功影響而同期（1967年）拍攝播出的，可能是中國改革開放后公開播放的第二部美國電視片（第一部應當是《The Man From The Bottom of Atlantic》《大西洋底來的人》）。當時與《加》劇屬同一類型的還有《Jericho》（《耶利哥》）, 《Rat Patrol》（《老鼠巡邏隊》

In a scenario similar to that of the 1967 film The Dirty Dozen, Lt. Garrison gets a group of convicts released from prison so that they can work for him on covert missions behind enemy lines during World War II. Actor was a smooth con artist, Casino a safecracker, Goniff a cat burglar, and Chief a street fighter of American Indian heritage.

Last episode: Time Bomb
The team must enter a room with an unexploded bomb in order to crack a safe containing a vital sample of heavy water.

[CENTER]Little House on the Prairie 草原小屋[/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER]

1987年，中國電視台播放過美國電視連續劇《草原小屋》


Plot Summary for
"Little House on the Prairie" (1974-1983)
Based on the popular "Little House" book series by Laura Ingalls-Wilder, this hour long dramatic series followed the frontier lives of Charles and Caroline Ingalls, and their three young daughters: Mary, Laura and Carrie.

Summary written by Phil Fernando

A long-running drama based upon the "Little House" series of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, "Little House on the Prairie" follows the lives of the simple, farming Ingalls family: Charles, Caroline, Mary, Laura, Carrie and then Grace and the later adopted Albert, James and Cassandra, who settle into a quaint little house on the banks of Plum Creek near the small town of Walnut Grove during the late 1800s. Often narrated by Laura, the series follows her simple farm upbringing from her childhood until her adulthood with Almanzo Wilder with whom she starts a family of her own. While the series is based upon the Little House books (and thus the real life of author Laura Ingalls Wilder), it is a very loose adaptation, with mostly only key events and elements of fact surviving the transition from book to TV series, the most important being Mary's eventual blindness, and Laura's future. Several other fictitious (some factual) characters make up the friendly community of Walnut Grove, including teacher Miss Beadle (succeeded by two other teachers, then Laura, then Etta Plum), Dr. Hiram Baker, Rev. Robert Alden, Mr. Hanson (of the Hanson lumber mill), and the well-to-do Olesons, owners of the local mercantile, and also the primary rivals of the Ingalls family (except the Oleson patriarch). Family friends include the Edwards family, the Garvey family and the Carters, who, in the final season, move into the Ingalls' little house.

Some infomation in the following statement on 加里森敢死隊 Garrison's Gorillas is not correct.

"上映年份:　1978"
"雖然拍攝於七十年代，但無論從情節、音樂、攝影，還是從演員演技來看，都令人不得不佩服當時美國人的本事。一部越十億人收看過的電視系列片，高創電視史上的收視率。「加里森敢死隊」從戰場到屏幕，它是二戰的梟雄、屏幕的英雄。歷史經典佳作悠長，傳世佳頌。"

In fact, it Premiered on September 1, 1967 in USA.  CCTV aired some episodes in early 1980's.   
"高創電視史上的收視率。" It is not so in America.  Is this the case in China?
"歷史經典佳作悠長".  This is too much. The TV series is good, but not that good.

Growing pains  成長的煩惱 (轉貼)

《成長的煩惱》是美國1985年至1992年間收視率最高的情景喜劇。記錄了一群孩子成長中的一切，更是為人父母的心路歷程。Mike的從小到大的一貫的調皮和愛耍小聰明,Carol的些許書獃子氣和Ben的傻氣稚嫩，父親Jason的啟髮式非強制教育方法時常帶來的無可奈何的幽默，讓人在捧腹中深思…… 希弗一家人樂天豁達的性格給觀眾留下難忘的印象。該劇的演員陣容曾被製作人邁克爾•沙利文譽為「A級陣容」。

在我們經歷的「成長的煩惱」的人生旅程里，一定不會忘記這一個充滿著歡樂的美國家庭。
   
就是它讓我們第一次見識了「肥皂劇」的魅力，也是它讓千萬東方觀眾陶醉在這個西方家庭的「成長的煩惱」之中，為之喜，為之憂，為之廢寢忘食的守候在電視機前，使人高呼電視的春天來了。
   
即使在今天，它依舊散發著無窮的魅力。
   
他是一個回憶，使我們在中國文化發展進程中一個不可迴避的情感港口。
