After the success of SHOW BOAT in 1988, it looked as if John McGlinn was going to record several of Kern's other, less familiar works: alas, this beautiful little recording of SITTING PRETTY was the only Kern "Princess Theatre" musical that came of it. But what's here is such a treat: a terrific cast (O'Hara, Blazer, Gaines, and Graae--not to mention Roberta Peters on the lovely "Days Gone By"), and several masterful little songs, including "Is This Not a Lovely Spot?" and the remarkably witty "You Alone Would Do."

I listened to this CD not expecting much--but from the overture on I was hooked on the lilting tunes and delightful singing. Thank you, John McGlinn, for making CDs like this for those of us who love a lovely melody and sweet, romantic story. I loved "Is This Not a Lovely Spot?" and Davis Gaines singing "All You Need is a Girl." In truth, every song on this CD is wonderful. Now I'm in the mood for listening to more old-fashioned musicals...

If you love show music, you know that John McGlinn does it better than anyone. Sitting Pretty is the most wonderful musical that no one has ever heard of, and with this disc McGlinn has rescued it from obscurity. Listen to the disc at least twice, and if Sitting Pretty hasn't become one of your favorite musicals then you probably don't really like musicals.

I LOVE the show Trading Spaces. Ever since Paige Davis took over the show there is not a single episode that I haven't seen. When the Trading Spaces They Hated It aired on TV I was extremely dissapointed. I thought it would be really great and that they would show much more of the reactions of the homeowners hating it but they didnt. It is a total waste of your money if you have seen these episodes before. It is 2 episodes, each for 55 minutes they RE-BROADCAST the episode and then for the last 5 minutes give you a bonus addition where they tell you whether or not they homeowners kept it or not and what it looks like now. NO EXAGERATION this is exactly the way it is. As a HUGE fan of the show I can't believe I am saying this... Dont waste your money.

as a few others said, this dvd is exactly the same thing shown on the tv show, NOTHING SPECIAL WAS ADDED!! I remember waiting so long for the tv to air the "THEY HATED IT" episode and it was such a disappointment. I sat thru 3 hours of the entire repeated episodes just to see a few minutes of the bonus footage. It was a waste of my time and I wouldn't recommend anyone to waste they're money on this dvd. Just watch trading spaces daily, they show enough reruns that your bound to see it again for free.

My aunt is a big fan of trading spaces. When eye bought this dvd 4 her as a gift, she got mad. She said that these 2 episodes are repeated so often, she has no need 4 the dvd. So eye took it 2 add 2 my collection of dvd's and eye watched it and decided that eye really like the show. It was halirous when the 1 woman started crying when she hated it.
