I have see other Gaskell adaptations, but this is definitely like you said has heavier themes unlike the others which were more romantic and domestic dramas sort of thing.<br /><br />I like the Pride & Prejudice 2005 movie, it's very pretty adaptation but I found it went soo overly cheesy near in the end with how Elizabeth and Darcy met in the mist and then before the credits when they were like massaging each others feet.Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942463921185187112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128401155527497521.post-8179005655566641142020-03-01T17:50:57.989+08:002020-03-01T17:50:57.989+08:00I haven't seen any of these and this just prov...I haven't seen any of these and this just proves that I'm bad with anything related to historic genres, period dramas for instance are my biggest enemy. I do love the movie of Pride & Prejudice but I just can't seem to bring myself to watch the show. BUT it's so nice to see them being mentioned here!

It was nice to see Richard Armitage as a good guy, though he still had that brooding thing going on, since he's often the villain. The story also quite a bit of heft to it and since I wasn't familiar with the source material there was more surprise to it than many of the classics. <br /><br />This is a very fine production of Pride & Prejudice and Colin Firth a terrific Darcy but even if it's not as detailed my favorite version remains the Keira Knightley/Matthew McFayden one.<br /><br />I'm not the biggest fan of Jane Eyre in any of its iterations but as these go this one is well done. <br /><br />The other two sound good, especially Gran Hotel. I'll have to keep an eye out for them.<br /><br />I went with romantic comedies from different decades.<br /><br />The Nanny (1993-1999)-Fran Fine (Fran Drescher) is working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens when her boyfriend kicks her out in one of those crushing scenes. What is she to do, where is she to go? She’s out on her fanny. So it’s over the bridge to the Sheffield's door, she was there to sell make-up but the father saw more….she had style, she had flair, she was there! That's how she became the Nanny. And for the next five years Fran and her widowed commitmentphobe boss Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) flirt, fight and fall in love while she raises his three children and causes dozens of calamities assisted her dizzy friend Val (Rachel Chagall), brassy mother Sylvia (Renee Taylor), forgetful Grandma Yetta (Ann Morgan Gilbert) as well as Niles, the butler (Daniel Davis) and Max’s brittle, cynical partner C.C. Babcock (Lauren Lane) who share a love/hate relationship while she too pines for Maxwell. <br /><br />Pushing Daisies (2007)-Pie maker Ned (Lee Pace) has the ability to bring dead things back to life with his touch. He yearns for his childhood crush Chuck (Anna Friel) who he has brought back from the dead but at a cost. They cannot touch or Chuck will perish. While they try and find a solution they work with private investigator Emerson Cod (Chi McBride) and co-worker Olive Snook (a scene stealing Kristin Chenoweth) with Ned using his abilities to solve murder cases. Quirky, unique series was cancelled far too soon.<br /><br />Love, American Style (1969-1974)-Comic anthology series that each week presented a series of vignettes featuring the various trials and tribulations of falling in love, marriage, falling back in love etc. With a constantly changing cast the show provided an early start for many future stars including Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, Bernadette Peters, Burt Reynolds, Martin Sheen and many others. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
