Every Saturday for I can not remember how long, I would get up without fail and watch "Patchwork Family" on Channel 2 WCBS here in New York. It was what I looked forward too every Saturday. The show ran well into the 1980s on WCBS. As another reviewer stated , it was a simple show. Not a lot of flash. However, very educational. I would love to find it on DVD.HOwever, I do not think that will ever happen. The show was hosted by Carol Corbitt with her muppet sidekick, Rags. Rags had a thing for jellybeans. Each show had a rebus that was shown throughout the show to be solved by the end. Segments centered around local environmental, exercise, animals, crafts, math, spelling, etc. It was a wonderful show. As I see a clip of it has made its way to Youtube. It warms my heart to see just a small part of what was a great childhood memory. Thank you to Carol Corbitt for great memories you and your show gave me.

There's a rat in the kitchen, what am I going to do? I am going to kill that rat thats what I am going to do! That is a line from a UB40 song. It is probably what I would have said before I saw this picture. However, Remy is such a cute little blue rat. I would never think of hurting him. However, in the kitchen of a restaurant maybe another story.

You could tell I was no débutante. Anyhow, my review of this film. I love Pixar animation films. I think they are great. This was no exception. The film had an excellent story with some great themes. Determination, follow your dreams, anyone can cook,hope, friendship,being creative. Cooking is a type of art form. It is wondrous to watch as chefs put together these ingredients in such a way as to make something the is both pleasing to the eye as well as the pallet. Ratatouille is very pleasing to the eye. We are introduced to Remy, the young determined rat, as he is trying to combine ingredients in a farm house that he is soon roused out of (see the movie , I am not giving it away). After sometime in the sewers of Paris, he finds the place to be able to express himself. There is such heart to this film that it is one that I have enjoyed watching over and over. I saw it 5 times in the theater. I thought it was head and shoulders above the Simpson Movie. Great movie. Go see it
