I often wonder why people jump to conclusions and judge each other. Like me, yeah, I’m guilty of judging other’s and when I do, I stay up all night worrying about how cruel what I said was. Being a blogger, it’s reversed too. People don’t know anything about me other than what I write on this blog. But they are so quick to judge and write cruel comments. I know, I’m putting myself out there, but it still hurts. You should take a walk in My Shoes before you make a comment that could hurt! That’s advice that you should use on anyone you know, even strangers. Especially strangers, talking about the way people are dressed, or how they talk or look is just wrong!
This weekend, I had the opportunity to watch preview A Walk In My Shoes this weekend and it was really good. What a thoughtful way to enter the lives of a triangle of people. In A Walk In My Shoes Trish (Nancy Travis) a mother that is way to busy to pay any attention to her family becomes Cindy Kremer (Jana Lee Hamblin) a doting mother not able to make ends meet. When Trish becomes the mother of Mikey (Jackson Pace, a really cute kid with a lot of spunk) and Justin (Cameron Deane Stewart, who has family local to me) they are kicked out of their house with an eviction notice. To help Trish out, a crazy lady Molly (Yara Martinez) and a Marine Jake (Philip Winchester) trying to adjust to civilian life. Family movies always make me cry and this one had me crying in the first five minutes. It was a great movie of a family finding out how to deal with the death of their father, and finding a way to get back on their feet with the help of another family. This is not your typical “Freaky Friday” type of movie. Here only one person makes the trade as she learns not to judge someone before taking A walk in their shoes.
Filmed in Portland Oregon, A Walk In My Shoes is the next installment of Proctor & Gamble and Walmart’s Family Movie night. A Walk In My Shoes premiers December 3 at 8/7c on NBC. I was on the movie set of A Walk In My Shoes in Portland and I learned a lot about how Walmart and P & G plan on bringing Movie Night Back.
While there, I had the opportunity to meet the cast and some of my piers as we were on the set of A Walk in My Shoes.
MommyQ, Me, Actor Nancy Travis , EightyMPHMom, Betty Confidential, The Spohrs are Multiplying, and Our Ordinary Life
I was amazed at how it seemed like each person on the project felt like they have a stake and it is there personal responsibility to bring quality television back.

For family night to truly return to television, it is up to the viewers, the viewers are going to have to demand it. Unless we want to watch quality TV and refuse to watch crap, it won’t change. Help Family night make a come back and watch A Walk in My Shoes December 3rd 8/7c on NBC. You know, A Walk In My Shoes could become a great TV Series, tell me what you think?

I received a preview kit and I will receive a DVD and CD in exchange for this post. I’ve worked with Walmart and P&G in the past, they sent me to Portland to be on the set of this movie, but no other compensation has been accepted.

I think quality tv is upbeat comedies, there really is too much drama on television in my opinion.
To me, quality tv is something I can watch with my entire family without having to worry about hearing swearing and sexual inuendos

To me quality television is something the whole family can enjoy and is not intended for a certain age group. Something each person in the family can relate to!

Quality television is there, you’ve just got to be selective about what you watch, I guess. There are certain shows we can all watch as a family, and some that aren’t kid friendly. As Nate gets older, it will probably be harder to steer his viewing habits, but for now with Disney and Netflix, we’re pretty ok.
I like adventures and comedies, hate most of the reality shows
We do not have cable but we do get three PBS channels with wonderful programs.
Some of our favs are Nature, Nova and Masterpiece Theater. Great giveaway, thanks.
This show sounds great, I’ll definitely have to check it out. I love shows that are truly FAMILY friendly – fun for parents and kids to watch together, and no one gets bored. Ideal!
I think quality tv is good, clean, fun tv. I don’t understand why some people feel it necessary that a tv show or movie include sex or fowl language.
Thanks for the review and giveaway. I’m looking forward to watching this.

Quality television: the travel channel. Shows can be fun/entertaining as well as educating WITHOUT sex, profanity, and violence
xoxoxo
Thank you!!!!! Our idea of quality televsion is……. “Would You Take A Walk In My Shoes” . We were so moved by watching your show tonight, we felt compelled to google and find a way to express our graditude.
In this crazy state of affairs in our country, thank god someone is making a move to make change by showing character and values in our most influential form of communication, our television. And thank you for portraying real women. The angel is beautiful, and a real woman!
Thank you WALMART for helping to portray heartwarming values and character rather than the vulgar and obnoxious sides of life being shown on television these days!!

Quality TV, is less violence & sex, its harder and harder to find acceptable movies for our children. Children commiting crimes in this country keeps going up and up and they wonder why.

I am not sure its “quality” tv, but in our house, the football game is usually turned on.
