Strong and Moving!

not horrible nor great

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

No one seems to remember or have even seen this fantastic show that ran in the late 90s and was definitely the most worthwhile program on during my childhood, unlike the endless stream of cartoons etc. that were then ubiquitous. This excellent comedy was a much more mature children's/early teens' program, that followed Bailey Kipper as he secretly monitored the rest of his family, keeping track of all the happenings of which he would not have been normally aware and the incessant misdemeanours of his older sister! Fans of "Malcolm in the Middle" will find it very similar, with some people even claiming it was the precursor and inspiration for the later hit show, with many parallels to the family relationships and feelings of being unappreciated and unnoticed appearing in both programs. Definitely worth watching!

This show was fantastic. I don't remember very much about it, just that this kid had cameras EVERYWHRER, and he came up with the most creative ways of hiding them. The only one i really remember is the episode where his parents are going to his school for parent teacher night and he puts a camera in a tie-tack. A good friend of mine introduced me to this show when i was 12-years-old, and i loved it straight away. I just wish there was more of it, or that it were available on DVD or VHS some place. I loved it so much, well actually i didn't love it, but you know I'm going off on a bit of a tangent here. Does anyone really remember more of this show? Anyone?

Colinwhitefan, if you're reading this - although a little over a year has passed since your posting - and you enjoyed "Bailey Kipper's P.O.V." very much, then I'd like to make this suggestion: Either e-mail or fax 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment (as posted in the rules, I can't give you their e-mail address, but go to Fox's main website and it'll direct you there) and tell them you want to see all 13 episodes of "Bailey Kipper" on DVD. Fox bought out MTM Enterprises, which produced "Bailey Kipper," about the time the show went off the air (September 1997); hence, Fox now owns the show (as a result of the buyout, MTM no longer exists), and Fox would be the most likely company to distribute "Bailey Kipper" on DVD.I do agree - "Bailey Kipper" was very funny and inventive, and it was a good alternative when "Saved By the Bell" went into repeats. I thought the episode where he was forced to audition for a play was particularly funny.And to the other reader who said there were only 7 or 8 episodes, as I stated above the total number of original episodes was 13. This is because the network was able to show the entire series four times in order to fulfill a one-year commitment, as well as to help young viewers recognize certain plot elements whenever they saw a particular episode again (four 13-week increments make up one full calendar year, 52 weeks).And for the record, I was in my late 30's when "Bailey Kipper" was first shown; I'd often watch it with my young niece and nephew (and it sure beat listening to all those news shows every time). So it had some appeal for us adults, too!(February 28, 2007. Postscript:20th Century Fox Home Entertainment DOES indeed own the rights to distribute "Bailey Kipper's P.O.V." on DVD; however, since I initially posted this comment Fox has removed their e-mail address from their website. However, I do remember the address. Please feel free to send me a private letter.Also be sure to vote for "Bailey Kipper" at TV Shows on DVD.com!)

I miss this show....I remember trying to watch this show every Saturday morning at like 7am. I would get up so early just so I could see it. I never missed an episode. It was great! I'm 17 now and I still wish this show would come back on the air. They only made like 7 or 8 episodes, but still :)
