[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aw. Is this show still on? I remember the first season.[/quote] http://peninsulaclarion.com/stories/082301/ins_0823010009.shtml New HBO series features little actors Posted: Thursday, August 23, 2001 By MARK KENNEDY Associated Press Writer NEW YORK -- On HBO, Carrie is worried about being engaged. Miranda is battling body-image depression. And Samantha has lust in her heart for a $4,000 Hermes handbag. Over on the HBO Family channel, Julian is nervous about how to read long words. Tyeese refuses to talk. And Anna is suspicious about where exactly the tooth fairy gets the money. At first glance, the gals on ''Sex and the City'' don't seem to have a lot in common with a new documentary series that follows 23 pint-sized kiddies through their first year of formal schooling. But that fades as ''Kindergarten'' gets rolling. Over 13 half-hour episodes, viewers get to watch the 5-year-olds interact, solve crises and wrestle with the outside world -- much like their fictional counterparts on an adult comedy -- at Upper Nyack Elementary School in Nyack, N.Y. It's a reminder that kindergarten was where we first learned to socialize, to get along, to develop personalities -- and where getting the red crayon was a big deal. ''It's kind of eavesdropping on the kindergarten experience that you never get to do with your own kids,'' says Karen Goodman, who put the series together with husband, Kirk Simon. They have a 9-year-old and a 5-year-old, who's just about to enter kindergarten. The episodes range from ''Doin' the Right Thing'' about getting in trouble to ''Open Wide'' about losing teeth. The filmmakers visited up to 90 schools before selecting one a half-hour from New York City. ''We wanted a school that would be both a model and the typical public school,'' says Simon. Over 55 days of filming with three cameras -- plus 25 days interviewing the kids at home -- the filmmakers captured the wide-eyed enthusiasm of life at age 5. . . . [/quote]
