I love your new show. I've watched both episodes. Since I retired in 2009 I began working part-time at My Sister's Closet. It's a women's consignment boutique in Clinton. They just added My Little Sister's Closet this mth. Being a frugal shopper and with the present economy I'd love to see an episode on consignment shopping. A couple of shops I'd like to see covered besides MSC is Cinderella's Closet in La Follette (I think they sell bridal/prom dresses) and one in Maryville that specializes in plus sizes.

I am the owner of Cinderella's Closet and I have been in business for going on 6 years. We specialize in Bridal & Prom gowns. Beautiful Gowns Once Loved...Twice Chosen. With the economy the way it is you can have an amazing event and not spend a fortune. Gowns arrive from all over Tn & Ky. Many still have the new tags attached. We have gowns from famous designers at a fraction of the original cost! My Sisters Closet is a hidden gem in the historic section of Clinton! I just wanted to take a moment and say that I agree with Patti completely. It would be awesome if some of the smaller specialty consignment shops were featured. Everyone knows about the larger "big box" resale shops..

I love this show. Nice work. Is it possible, if your show is going to be made available online in multiple segments, to display each of those segments on the home page? In other words, I was trying to find the segment on Children's Theatre of Knoxville, but it was hard to find which segment it was in. That's my one suggestion, that all segments be displayed on the homepage so that it's easy to click each one. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Thanks for the suggestion, Patrick. We are planning to add that feature shortly, as well as make several other improvements.

Love the new show. I was hoping to see more on the Oak Ridge Playhouse during this last episode. Though smaller than the Cumberland County Playhouse, it is closer and more accessible for those in Knoxville area. Upcoming shows include Brighton Beach Memoirs and the musical Chicago. For more information, please visit www.orplayhouse.com

Please don't overlook dance in Knoxville. Go! Contemporary Dance Works is premiering their production of "Alice" this weekend at the Bijou. It's an unbelievable production, that is immensely entertaining and technically amazing! The added element of projection on the stage and dancers is stunning! You don't want to miss this and your children will be thrilled!!!!! Productions like this don't come to Knoxville everyday, so take advantage of this opportunity. Dance is usually third on the list of performing arts behind theatre and the Symphony in town. Please don't forget about these wonderful dancers and the other dance companies in town who rehearse so many hours to bring you their outstanding performances.
