"That's My Mama: The Complete First Season" - Welcome to Oscar's Barbershop, recently inherited by Oscar's Son Clifton. Clifton's got it made - a successful business, luck with the ladies - but he still lives with Mama. She rules the roost, and dispenses advice to everyone who'll listen (and some who won't). Clifton's sister Tracy, brother-in-law Leonard, friends Earl and Junior, barbershop regulars Wildcat and Josh; no one is spared from Mama's wisdom. And they would have it any other way. A hidden gem of 1970's television comedy, "That's My Mama" was a highlight in the careers of Clifton Davis and Jester Hairston (both of TV's "Amen") and Ted Lange (Isaac on "The Love Boat") and featured guest appearances by Tim Reid and Gordon Jump, both of whom went on to star in the hit show "WKRP In Cincinnati." The complete first season of "That's My Mama" includes 26 episodes.

Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures
Prolific, mercurial, thought-provoking, charming, dynamic, confusing--just like the artist himself. Andy Warhol's films explore the gamut of human emotion. From the time he obtained his first film camera in 1963, up until his death in 1937, Warhol explored and created moving images ranging from epic films, to personal portraits, to programs for cable television, to music videos. In fact, in a mere five years (1963-1968) he produced nearly 650 films including hundreds of silent screen tests--portrait films--and dozens of full length movies, in styles ranging from minimalist avant-garde to commercial exploitation.B" His films and videos capture the rich and raw texture of the fertile cultural milieu in which he lived and worked, and are crucial to the understanding of Warhol's work in other media.
