Three Sheets-Season 3 Review

Three Sheets-Season 3

Zane Lamprey is on top of his hosting skills in season three of Three Sheets. The most episodes ever in a season 14 in all. The episodes I like most are Chile (just sea bass and Mavrick), Rio de Janeiro (no cowboying), Las Vegas (blackeye, poker, and nasty bacon cocktail), Gibraltar (King Geogre's keys, monkeys, a great game, and lovely I'll have one), Scotland ( $10,000 bottle of Glenfiddich and spinning in a scotch bar), and Moscow (hot bath and Russian moonshine). Like it or not we are a drinking culture of course I love it. This show is spot on (London New Years Eve not aired, and I want to see it) and it's a shame that it's network MOJO is out of business. So here's hoping HDnet, Spike, Travel Channel, Food Network, Weather Channel, or some of the networks will pick this show up. Most of season 4 and the London special are shot. Or at least get it out on DVD so I can buy it on Amazon.com the best place to shop on line they have everything in the world here it seems. Zane and his crew are a joy to watch. I had so many good times watching this show. Season 1 and 2 are a must too. Get this DVD and help find Three Sheets a home on another network if you're a fan of the show, we got to get the word out there to keep it going. I always feel happy when I watch Three Sheets and season 3 was the most episodes and the best. You aways, with all the episodes during the first 3 seasons are learning something about other places and cultures around the world. Zane Lamprey will introduce different local alcoholic beverages and frequently spend some time with either a bar tender or alcohol producer to learn more about the making of the alcoholic beverage or local drink. A character by the name of the professor (voice over by Zane) will help out some. The use of other characters such as Steve McKenna, Eric the sound guy, Curtis the cameraman, field producer Christina Kindwall,and his number one drinking buddy Pleepleus are great. The show also doubles as a drinking game, introduced in the Costa Rica episode during season one. The rules are as follows:
Rule 1: When Zane drinks, you drink.
Rule 2: The first person to spot Pleepleus the monkey, makes someone else drink.
Rule 3: When Zane mentions his friend, Steve McKenna, everyone drinks.
Rule 4: When Zane or anyone burps, the last person to give the "Good Burp" sign (thumb on your forehead, pinky in the air) drinks.
Rule 5: If you "Jim-The-Cop" (spill your beer while drinking, or chugging) you have to buy someone a drink. If you're watching at home, or a friend's house, make a run to the fridge.
Rule 6: (New Rule for Season Three) If you ever spot Zane holding a drink improperly you can make someone drink. Proper positions are listed with drink types below.
So for good TV and some fun times with family and friends buy this DVD for Three Sheets Season Three and get seasons 1 & 2 or which ever you may be missing here on Amazon.com. Remember help Three Sheets with Zane Lamprey and his crew find a new network home. Now put the DVD for this Season 3 (14 episodes) of Three Sheets and any others you don't have in your shopping and check out here at Amazon.com with the joy it brings you be glad you did.

Engineering An Empire, Vol. 4: Napoleon-Steel Monster, Byzantines, & Da Vinci's World Review

I bought this DVD after seeing it on the history channel. I use it with a class of high school students to teach background for French. Great for understanding some of the engineering achievements of the past. Many of these students will travel to France to see the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, the fountains of Versailles, and this is an informative introduction for that experience.

Egyptian Pyramids (History Channel) (A&E DVD Archives) (2005) Review

Egyptian Pyramids (History Channel) (AandE DVD Archives) (2005)
Average Reviews:

The program gives an excellent introduction to the evolution of Egyptian pyramids from the mud-brick mounds called mastaba to the the Great Pyramid of Khufu on the Giza Plateau. A good summary along wirh beautiful vidography and good graphics are given for each basic type. Included is an interesting discussion of the origin of the pyramid shape. Alternate ideas on how the pyramids were built are given; however, those of Martin Isler are emphasized. There is also a segment on the Great Sphinx. Foremost among the on-camera experts is the well-known and respected Egyptologist Zahi Hawass.
