The greatest on-screen mother-daughter duos - From screaming matches and sass, to unconditional love and shoulders to cry on, these are the greatest on-screen mother-daughter duos that continue to illuminate the unique bond between a woman and her female offspring.
© BrunoPress
Rainbow and Zoey Johnson, 'Black-ish' (2014- ) - Rainbow (Tracy Ellis Ross) is an optimistic and energetic mom who often doesn't seem to know how to connect to her media-obsessed older daughter Zoey (Yara Shahidi). Despite this, the two share admiration and unconditional support for each other, and their moments of honesty are golden.
Donna and Sophie Sheridan, 'Mamma Mia' (2008) - Despite Sophie's frustration with not knowing who her father is, this duo shares one of the sweetest mother-daughter relationships, particularly when they sing 'Slipping Through My Fingers.'
© Bruno Press
M'Lynn and Shelby, 'Steel Magnolias' (1989) - M'Lynn's speech at Shelby's funeral is proof enough that this film's mother-daughter relationship raised the bar.
Bonnie and Christy, 'Mom' (2013- ) - This mother-daughter duo has a big lesson to teach about forgiveness and family love, as they attend AA meetings together and constantly point out each other's flaws—yet still somehow figure things out.
Claire and Alex Dunphy, 'Modern Family' (2009- ) - This understated relationship shines brilliantly in moments where the type-A mom helps her bookish daughter through the ups and downs of puberty.
Endora and Samantha, 'Bewitched' (1964-1972) - Not exactly the ideal mother-daughter relationship, the two did keep things interesting by magically intervening in each other's lives.
Sonu and Mindy Lahiri, 'The Mindy Project' (2012-2017) - Sonu and Mindy's relationship is so great because it both explains where Mindy gets her headstrong theatrics from, as well as delivering some much-needed wisdom in critical moments.
Adele and Ann August, 'Anywhere But Here' (1999) - Through anger, manipulation, sacrifice, and defeat, Adele's love for her daughter still shines through.
Carol and Marcia Brady, 'The Brady Bunch' (1969-1974) - Despite the Bradys' radically different real lives, Carol and Marcia's characters had a certain closeness in their perky flawlessness.
Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, 'Gilmore Girls' (2000-2007) - Witty dialogue at 100 miles a minute, heaps of junk food, excessive coffee-drinking, and a deep well of mutual love and respect make this mother-daughter duo the ultimate relationship goals.
Clair, Sondra, Denise, Vanessa and Rudy Huxtable, 'The Cosby Show' (1984-1992) - Though they're not so much of a duo, Clair Huxtable's relationships with her (very different) daughters gave everyone the opportunity to see a bit of their own mother-daughter relationships in the show.
Cora, Edith, Mary, and Sybil Crawley, 'Downton Abbey' (2010-2015) - Again, this is less of a duo, but Cora Crawley is a steady rock and shoulder to cry on for all of her daughters, and their dynamic relationships drive this high-toned period soap opera.
Mrs. George and Regina George, 'Mean Girls' (2004) - She's not a regular mom, she's a cool mom! Amy Poehler's role as a Juicy Couture-clad mocktail-serving mother wasn't exactly admirable, but it was legendary.
Roseanne and Becky Conner, 'Roseanne' (1988-1997) - In a show praised for putting a realistic middle-class mother on television, Roseanne and Becky's relationship had all the complexities and nuances of a loving, bossy mom and a headstrong, sassy daughter who care deeply about one another.
Edith Bunker and Gloria Stivic, 'All in the Family' (1968-1979) - This duo had to deal with Archie Bunker, the bigoted husband of Edith and father of Gloria. Their relationship kept his outrageous behavior in line.
Lucille and Lindsay Bluth, 'Arrested Development' (2003-) - They might not be a heartwarming duo, but they sure do make us laugh.
Aurora and Emma Greenway, 'Terms of Endearment' (1983) - Aurora and Emma make up one of the most emotional and heart-wrenching mother-daughter relationships to ever grace film.
Ann Romano and Barbara Cooper, 'One Day at a Time' (1975-1984) - A feminist single mother with career and boyfriend troubles also had to deal with two rebellious teenage daughters, but Barbara—the more wholesome daughter—took a bit of the weight off.
Anna and Tess Coleman, 'Freaky Friday' (2003) - This duo, from the cult classic film about a mother and daughter who must literally walk in each other's shoes, needs little explanation.
Sophia Petrillo and Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak, 'The Golden Girls' (1985-1992) - The sassy Italian mother and eye-rolling daughter in this sitcom about four older women sharing a house in Miami set new goals for aging mother-daughter duos.
Patty and Angela Chase, 'My So-Called Life' (1994-1995) - In this show that many consider to have been discontinued too soon, Angela narrated a complex relationship with her mother that varied from wanting to physically harm her to feeling proud to be her daughter.
Peggy and Kelly Bundy, 'Married…with Children' (1987-1997) - Peggy and Kelly often conspired against the patriarch Al, and their dynamic relationship—amidst an already-dysfunctional family—kept things very interesting.
Nora and Kitty Walker, 'Brothers & Sisters' (2006-2011) - Nora Walker is the matriarch of the family and a large part of the reason why her daughter Kitty and the other siblings have stuck together through crisis after crisis.
Sarah Braverman and Amber Holt, 'Parenthood' (2010-2015) - Lauren Graham must have motherhood in her veins because she brings that amazing quality on-screen again in this heartwarming relationship.
Lisa and Tia and Tamera Landry, 'Sister, Sister' (1994-1999) - There's a kind of larger-than-life love that Lisa expresses for Tia and Tamera that makes you envious—even if you already have an amazing mom.
Christina and Carmen Lowell, 'The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants' (2005) - Through hard lessons and extreme disappointment, Christina and Carmen are each other's greatest protectors, sticking together in a way only a single mother and daughter abandoned by her father could.
Grace and Brianna, 'Grace and Frankie' (2015- ) - The hit Netflix series brought viewers an uptight mother and quick-lipped daughter whose banter makes you nervous in the best way possible.
Kris Jenner and the Kardashian-Jenner women, 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' (2007- ) - You couldn't leave out the ultimate "momager" and matriarch and her clan of extremely dramatic, yet unconditionally loving, daughters.
Shirley Renfrew and Laurie Partridge, 'The Partridge Family' (1970-1974) - Shirley was a widow and an impressively cool leader of this musical group of five, and she shared an especially close relationship with her eldest daughter Laurie.
Joyce and Buffy Summers, 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' (1997-2003) - Buffy usually gets all the spotlight, but her mother's gentle and understanding nature ultimately enabled Buffy to repeatedly save the world, so, Joyce: thank you.

Where Do You Find Spirituality in Judaism?
Interestingly, my research revealed that a lot of modern orthodox seek or experience 'spirituality' through the outside world, rather than in the beis hamidrosh (synagogue and/or place of Torah study). That would seem to imply that the 'neshomoh' (soul) is missing in the beis hamidrosh"?
My thought... the beis medresh is focused solely on the intellect, and with the exception of the works of chassidus, remains in the realm of the legal and rarely invokes G-d or our relationship with Him. The beis knesset (just synagogue) focuses on the fulfilling of the obligations of prayer (and engages social relationships simply because that's what happens when a number of people are together on a regular basis). And while there are places in the prayer material where it's appropriate to "stop and meditate on this concept" or "insert personal prayer here", we have so much obligatory material to get through that I think few spare the moment to do so – losing some of the possible connection with G-d.
Some tracts of Breslev teaches hisbodedus (personal speaking to G-d) to all as an important focus. Chabad teaches hisbonenus (contemplative meditation on G-dly concepts to reach Awe of G-d), though it sometimes gets lost in the intellectual focus of Chabad chassidus.
Clearly connecting with G-d can be a part of traditional Judaism, and there are several clear traditional paths to doing so. BUT I don't see many involved in such or aware of such.
Judaism, a candle with a basket over it.
Why would this be even a question? The essence of Judaism is its spirituality (connection to H') in all things. We know that G-D is everything and everywhere. Whether the person is really concentrating totally in shul while praying is secondary because he is still fulfilling the obligation to pray and therein his connection to H'.(ours is not a religion - it is the ULTIMATE TRUTH) Emunah and Bitachon in H' is primary.
"There is no truth about G-d.
There is no one who learns Truth.
There is no need to search for Truth.
You have inherited it and it is within you.
to listen to that inheritance."
For the Muslim, this notion is shirk. For the Xtian, this notion is heresy, because ONLY the man that they've foolishly deified is divine. For the Jew, this notion should be a given.
I guess it depends on how one defines "spirituality."
The Hebrew word for "spirit" is ruach, which means "wind." One of the functions of wind is aeolian erosion wherein loose material is blown from the surface and thereby reveals what's beneath. Personally, I define "spirituality" as "that which goes beneath the superficial in order to reveal what has hitherto been obscured." For me, spirituality is all about seeking a deeper level of meaning.
So, if you ask me, "Where do you find spirituality in Judaism?"
I'd have to reply, where don't I find spirituality in Judaism!?
@Shiloh - The Baal Shem Tov says like this, "Your fellow is your mirror. If your own face is clean, so will be the image you perceive. But should you look upon your fellow and see a blemish, it is your own imperfection that you are encountering - you are being shown what it is that you must correct within yourself."
Judaism is also one's mirror.
Smade, who are you anyways. The lies are so deep but since you follow the 7 laws of Noach who where penned by James the brother of Jesus, then you quote another who promotes the lies, basically you are nothing. Keep on learning, maybe you will eventually figure it out.
What is Shilo saying. He speaks as if he is surely not a Jew.
BTW, The seven laws of Noach are part of our Torah (Written & Oral = Torah).
@Shiloh - Who am I? Who cares!? I'm a worm.... At best, I'm a student of comparative religions, who feels an affinity with the Jewish people in general and the Hasidim (both ancient and modern) in particular. I've stated many times that I'm not a Jew and, like the rest of humanity, I'm obligated to observe the sixty-six mitzvot, which fall under the seven categories of the Noahide Laws, that serve as moral absolutes in a world wherein so many opt to reject the notion of moral absolutes. For a very short time, I was an Xtian and a Messianic. B"H, I educated myself out of their shtuyot. Unfortunately, I wasted thirty plus years of my life trying to point out their errors.
BTW, I seriously doubt that "James" penned the Book of Jubilees (7:20–28) nor was he the first to speak about avoiding the Three Cardinal Sins. I see no lies in the Oral Torah as espoused by the House of Hillel the Elder or the Hasidism of the Baal Shem Tov. Their teachings are a light to the Nations!
If Judaism doesn't shine as brightly as you'd like, then it's probably because the Jewish people aren't in a position of power or safety, in as much as they constantly have to defend themselves against the attacks of the Amalakites (et al).
Rabbi Harvey Falk says like this, "A careful reading of the Talmud (Sanhedrin 57a-b) and Maimonides (Melakhim, Ch. 8) would indicate that Moses obligated the Jews to spread knowledge of the Noahide Commandments to the Gentiles only from a position of strength, the potential dangers inherent toward the Jews ... being only too apparent now after Crusades, inquisitions, pogroms and the Holocaust."
Like other readers, I find your comments and criticisms to be less than helpful and more than a little confusing, especially when you couch them in what seem to be Xtain/Messianic attacks on Judaism and/or Klal Yisrael.
Who am I? Who are you!?

Q: RecyclerView returning position in getItemViewType method so it can be used in onCreateViewHolder I am experimenting with ReyclerView, and I am trying to create one Adapter so I can use it in the whole application. Here is my Adapter:
public class RecyclerViewAdapter extends BaseRecyclerAdapter<ItemView, RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {

    public RecyclerViewAdapter(Context context) {
        super(context, new ArrayList<ItemView>());
    }

    @Override
    public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int position) {
        int viewType = getItem(position).getLayoutId();
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(viewType, parent, false);
        return getItem(position).getViewHolder(view);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        getItem(position).bindViews();
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemViewType(int position) {
        return position;
    }
}

BaseRecyclerAdapter is a standard adapter that holds the items, and has the standard functions for adding, removing...
ItemView looks like this:
public abstract class ItemView {
    public abstract int getLayoutId();

    public abstract RecyclerView.ViewHolder getViewHolder(View view);

    public abstract void bindViews();
}

And now I can create Items extending ItemView, and I can use this adapter with different items.
The question is, is it safe to return the position in getItemViewType in this case? Or the recyclerView will create new views and will not recycle already created?

A:
The question is, is it safe to return position in getItemViewType in this case? Or the recyclerView will create new views and will not recycle already created?

No, it is not "safe" to return the position from getItemViewType(), and your suspicion is correct: since the View type indicates whether an existing View can be recycled for a new data item which needs the same View type, an approach where each item has its unique View type will completely prevent recycling of  Views.
In the documentation for getItemViewType() , it says

Consider using id resources to uniquely identify item view types

Maybe this is a good idea for you: you already have this line in onCreateViewHolder()

int viewType = getItem(position).getLayoutId();

So you can move it to getItemViewType()
@Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
    return getItem(position).getLayoutId();
}

and onCreateViewHolder() will look like this
@Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewTypeResourceId) {
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(viewTypeResourceId, parent, false);
    return getItem(viewTypeResourceId).getViewHolder(view);
}

Note that I switched the parameter for getItem() from position to viewTypeResourceId because you only will have a position in onBindViewHolder(). There are some loose ends but I think your approach is still possible, you only have to provide a mapping of position to layout resource id and a mapping of layout resource id (aka view type) to a specific type of ViewHolder (And you can always get the View type for a given position by calling getItemViewType() )

Mr. James WINSOR received a telegram from Queenstown this forenoon acquainting him with the fate of the Schr. Mary, about which so much anxiety had been felt. The Mary, it will be remembered, left this port nearly five weeks ago with a cargoe of ""supplies"" for Exploits, Notre Dame Bay, but having failed to reach her destination after a reasonable time elapsed, it was feared she'd ""gone-down"" with all on board. It now appears the schooner was driven off by the strong westerly gales experienced all along the coast shortly after her departure; that she was reduced to a helpless wreck somewhere between this Island and the Irish coast, and that Captain BUTLER and his crew were rescued by a passing vessel and landed at Queenstown---St. John's Telegram.
A similar event took place on New Year's Eve, when Mr. Edwin COLBOURNE led to the Altar in St. Peter's Church, Miss Ellen BLACKLER, the Ceremony being performed by the Rev. R. TEMPLE, R.D.

Conspicuous on a table which contained a supply of fruit &c. was a beautifully ornamented cake, which had been procured from Messrs. J. & G. LASH, St. John's, who are well known for their art in making and adorning them in first-class style. May each of the married ones live to enjoy many years of prosperity and happiness.

That valuable premises at LEADING TICKLES, consisting of-- SHOP, STORE, Stage, Dwelling House, and a large garden and meadow ground; also a large lot of Land not cleared. The above is situated close to the seaside, with deep waterage and plenty of room for building, and only about two miles from the Seal Bay mine. The property will be sold for the low price of �; or hired for a term of 5 or 10 years at � per annum. For further particulars apply to PATRICK KENNEDY, Leading Tickles, Notre Dame Bay.
The steamer Hercules called here early on Friday morning, from Little Bay Mines, via St. John's, bringing the sad intelligence of the loss of the steamer Lion and all on board, at the Grates on the night of Saturday last, for which particulars we have to thank an esteemed friend at Little Bay. The Lion left St. John's for Trinity on the night mentioned, whence she intended sailing for the seal fishery, and could not have been very long out before the catastrophy took place. The following is a list of passengers lost on her:---- Rev. Mr. FOSTER and wife; Mrs. J. CROSS; Miss NEWHOOK; Miss BAILEY; Miss WATKINS; Chas. POWERS; James GRANT and son; three brothers of the DOHERTY'S; Jno. JEANS; G. NANGLE; Edward JEANS and wife. To the sorrowing friends who have thus so unexpectedly been called on to suffer the loss of their loved ones, we tender our sympathy.
For the following interesting paragraphs, we have to thank a respected correspondent at Bett's Cove under date of the 5th inst:--- The long expected steamer Racilia of 1,170 tons register, Captain JAMES, arrived here on the last of the year last, the latest arrival from foreign to this shore on record. The Racilia left Glasgow on or about the middle of November, and on account of damage by storm, put back to Queenstown, from which port after repairing damages, she succeeded in getting here safely. She brings a large cargo of machinery for the use of the mines. New boiler, engines, coke, iron, steel, and general cargo. She is now loading with ore at Little Bay, the company working at her day and night to give her a quick dispatch, and it is expected she will be ready to leave in a few days. She takes 2,400 tons copper. The Racilia experienced very stormy weather in mid-ocean and steamed for St. John's. She lost some of her boats and one of the large ventilators was broken off close to her deck by a sea. Her cargo was also started and some other damages sustained. She is a noble ship and commanded by an energetic captain who was chief officer of the ship last voyage, the last master having had his arm broken on her passage back to Queenstown.
The steamer Merlin arrived here last week with a quantity of powder from the wreck of the M.[or H.] B. Jones, Capt. Wolfe, on her voyage from Halifax, and wrecked near Seldom-come-by.
The weather here this season is exceedingly favorable for those ships expected. It has been moderate and mild, with smooth seas, such as has not been experienced for many years.
We are sorry to have to record the death of Mrs. Andrew ROBERTS which occurred on Wednesday last, after a brief illness of eight days. On the night of the 3rd inst., she was seized with a severe paralitic stroke, which entirely prostrated her, resulting in death, which she met with the greatest serenity, having her confidence firmly grounded on the Rock of Ages. We understand that Mrs. ROBERTS was always solicitous of aiding any undertaking on foot for the general good of the community. The friends of Temperance ever found her most willing to assist whenever the services of the ladies were needed in connection with their anniversaries or on other occasions; and out of respect to her memory, it was unanimously resolved at a meeting of the Division on Thursday evening last, that the members walk in procession at the funeral. For that purpose they are requested to meet in the Hall shortly after twelve on Monday next, as the funeral will take place about half-past one p.m. The deceased leaves a large familyto lament the loss of an affectionate person, in addition to a numerous circle of friends, who will long cherish her memory. We tender our sympathies to the bereaved.
The survey under the superintendance of Mr. TWINING has been energetically proceeding since last report. The weather prevailing during the week has been favourable to the work; and fifteen miles of the line to Riverhead towards Spread Eagle Peak are now located.----- Harbor Grace Standard.
During the past week several seals have been killed by persons who were guarding the lakes of water in the ice some distance off. These we believe are first that have captured in this way this season.
The schr. Ripple which reached here from St. John's just before the ice made, bound to Round Harbor whence she intended sailing for Seal fishery, was prevented from reaching her destination and will prosecute the enterprise from here instead.
A Tilt Cove corespondent informed us lately that the steamer Tiger, Capt. HUDSON, who will prosecute the sealing business from Round Harbor, will take his crew from that part of the bay.
SLADE, WHITE----On Jan. 15th, by Rev. R. TEMPLE R.D., Mr. James SLADE of Durrell's Arm, to Miss Lucy Ann WHITE of Frost Harbor, Twillingate.
MOORS, FIFIELD----On Jan the 17th in the Methodist Church South side, by Rev. T.W. ATKINSON, Mr. Jacob W. MOORS, eldest son of Mr. Joseph MOORS to Miss Mary Ann FIFIELD daughter of the late Mr. John FIFIELD of Twillingate.
DUDER----At St. John's, on the 13th inst., Mary Elizabeth, relict of the late Edwin DUDER, Esq., aged 54 years.
MANUEL----On the 9th inst. At the residence of Mr. Gladuey TAILOR, Water Street, St. John's, Mr. Walter William MANUEL, aged 35 years. The deceased was son of Mr. James MANUEL of Twillingate. He resided at Griquet, French Shore, for the past few years, and being in delicate state of health for some months, he removed to St. John's in the Fall, in order to receive medical treatment. He leaves a wife and two children.
READDY----On Dec 14th, at Tilt Cove, the wife of Mr. James READDY, of a son.
ROBERTS, YOUNG----On January 11th, by Rev. T.W. ATKINSON, Mr. Edward ROBERTS, of Bluff Head Cove, to Miss Agnes YOUNG, Twillingate.
ROBERTS----On January 11th, after a short illness, Elizabeth, beloved wife of Capt. Andrew ROBERTS, aged 48 years, leaving a large family to mourn their loss. She died in sure and certain hope of a general resurrection. Funeral will take place on Monday afternoon at half-past one.
The Rev. H.C.H. JOHNSON of Exploits, has been spending a few days here lately. Last Sunday he preached in St. Andrew's Church at 11 o'clock, and in St. Peter's at 6:30 p.m. In the latter place he took his text from Jos. 1:5, favoring the congregation with a profitable and instructive discourse.
The Rev. PINCOCK of Moreton's Harbor was also in town the past week, having come with the expectation of attending the annual Methodist Missionary meeting, which would have taken place last Wednesday evening, but for the previous snowfalls that caused very bad travelling. It was therefore postponed until next week, or even later should the weather not be suitable.
A large crew of volunteers was engaged at times this past week in endeavoring to get the Ja G. Jones upon the ice in order to make repairs; and after two or three attempts on various days, they succeeded in accomplishing their object on Thursday. This schooner belongs to Mr. Thos. AVERY and was purchased by him last summer on what used to be termed the French Shore. Fortunately, however, it is to be no longer known by that name. The craft is about 25 tons, built of good oak, and not being very old, will, when put in good order, be suitable for trading purposes, for which we think this owner intends her.
Early on the morning of the 28th ult., a severe snow storm, with violent wind was experienced in those parts, causing damage to property in some places. In the Arm two or three frames of houses in course of creating, were blown down. The new St. Andrew's Church in course of completion was also slightly shaken. We are glad to know however, that the injury is not of so serious a character, as was at first anticipated, and that a little extra outlay will put the building in its former condition.
On Friday last, a building owned by Mr. James HODDER, and formerly situated on his premises on the side of the hill, just apass the bridge, was hauled near the water-side, close to the bridge, and when put in proper repair, will make a capital business stand. A large number of volunteers assisted in the launch, which was superintended by Mr. James FIFIELD, who has undertaken and successfully carried through other similar projects in the past.
The Orange Annual Festival will be held (weather permitting) on Wednesday next. Arrangements are being made for a good program for the occasion.
A few seals have been killed by means of ""swatching"", (a term used by sealers when patiently waiting for a shot by a lake of water), within the past week or so. On Candlemas Day the Messrs. YOUNG's secured two or three, and yesterday, several old bedlamers were captured by Crow Head sealers about four miles off from Long Point.
It will be seen by reference to our advertising columns that the Stipendiary Magistrate has given caution against the unnecessary discharging of fire arms, as a prevention to any serious accident that might accrue by a persistency in such a dangerous practice. We presume that the motive for this timely warning was prompted by the fact that a case was before his Worship a short time ago, the cause of the complaint being that the plaintiff's horse had taken fright by the firing of guns while passing the public streets. This custom seems to be most common of marriage celebrations. It has been suggested that if persons are anxious to manifest esteem for their newly married friends, could it not be done in a more tangible way by presenting them with a valuable present, which the cost of the powder so used would be likely to procure. We would recommend such a plan.
[ The following is from Random Sound, Trinity Bay.] We have to thank a ""Rambler,"" under date of Jan 13th, for the subjoined paragraphs of interest:-- Dear Sir--- The winter has been very eager in its work around these regions, but not more eager than the many families are who have come here for a winter's work. The chief hope is ""Railway Sleepers"" and the natives, true to their instincts, are getting them out of the woods for a mere trifle, while others realize the profits. Christmas passed off joyously. At Northern Bight the school children had a Christmas Tree which all enjoyed (not the tree, but the things on it) and the tea provided for them. In Shoal Harbor the Rev. [can't read] LEWIS delivered a lecture on ""Before and After."" The topics discussed concerned the ""before and after"" of marriage--- love, courtship, getting married, home life, thrift, cleanliness, godliness, and true success. The lecture was both instructive and amusing.
At Northern Bight there was much excitement the other day. The Methodist people went like a mighty army to wage war upon the trees of the forest; result--- an excellent frame form parsonage. The very same day the Shoal Harbor Methodist commenced a war which lasted three days; results--- splendid lumber for their new church. Special services were held in Northern Bight and Shoal Harbor at the beginning of the New Year with cheering results. There is much forecasting as to where the Railway will come out in these arms. The postal authorities are determined we shall not have any notification in either getting or sending letters and newspapers. It is shameful the way things are managed. The telegraph wires pass right along here and though 40 miles from Trinity, we cannot get a station in any part of Random. Perhaps we will when the Government fellows are looking for votes.
PARSONS----At Jenkin's Cove on the 3rd inst., after a protracted illness, with calm submission to the will of God, William, son of Thomas PARSONS, aged 27 years. His remains were interred in the Hart's Cove Cemetery, South Side on Wednesday last, the St. Peter's Lodge, S.U.F. of which he was a member walking in procession at the funeral. A large congregation was in attendance at St. Andrew's Church where, besides the funeral ceremony, a short and impressive discourse was given by the Rev. R. TEMPLE, R.D., from the words: The brother shall rise again--- John 2: 23. The speaker administered to the Spiritual comforts of the deceased up to the last and was therefore able to refer encouragingly of his departure to the better land, and of his hopes of a joyful insurrection at the last day.
DEADY----At Joe Batt's Arm, on January 29th, Thomas Joseph, only son of Thomas and Susannah DEADY, aged 2 years and 5 months.
Any person firing any Gun, Pistol or other Fire-arms in any City, Town, or Settlement in this Island for the purpose of creating a noise or disturbance, or without some necessity or reasonable excuse for so doing, shall for every such offence pay a penalty not exceeding Twenty Dollars. F. BERTEAU, Stipendiary Magistrate. Twillingate, Jan 19th, 1882.
The Missionary meetings will be held at Tizzard's Harbor on Monday evening next, and at Moreton's Harbor on the following evening, (weather permitting) and will be addressed by the Revs. T.W. ATKINSON, J. PARKINS, P. PINCOCK and others.
SEALS --- A good many seals have been killed with guns the past week, and on the whole indications have been favorable. Two or three days sealers were fairly successful,---- Some crews of four and five killing seven or eight. The nearest distance at which any were found was about three miles from land. Those captured were mostly bedlamers.
The Loyal Orange Lodges held their annual Festival on the 15 inst., which was a decided success in every particular, an account of which will be found in another column. The ""North Star"" Division of the Sons of Temperance had theirs on Tuesday last, a report of which may be looked for in next paper, as space will not admit us appearing in this week.
FIRE AT FORTUNE HARBOR ---- A correspondent from there, informs us of disastrous fire which took place in their harbor about 4 o'clock on the morning of the 3rd inst. It originated accidentally in the dwelling house of John and Thomas LUNNEN, totally destroying the whole building, and every article of furniture and clothing therein, the inmates barely escaping with their lives. Our correspondent says ""that both John and Thomas were fearfully burned in endeavoring to save the former's wife and children, which they succeeded in doing after great difficulty. There were six men in the house and all of them had to jump out of bed and rush through fire and smoke to save their lives, the house being on fire both above and below before any of them awoke. The all say that in less than five minutes every soul in the house would have been suffocated. The escape of so many persons was really miraculous. Some of them had scarcely a hair on their head, all was burned off rushing through the flames.
Dr. FLYNN who was boarding at the same house, also lost everything belonging to him."" He also remarks that it is a deplorable spectacle to see such a large family at this season of the year without an article of clothing. Their sad condition is certainly one that demands immediate commiseration from the public, and we would appeal to the generous hearted of this and the neighboring communities on their behalf; as I sincerely hope that the sufferings of the unfortunate family, so suddenly brought about by the devouring element, may to some extent be alleviated by our people. It is seldom that the like happens; but when it does, and the unfortunate sufferers are deprived of home and every vestige of apparel, (as was the case in this instance) the sympathy of all should be extended. Let us picture their lamentable situation at this cold season of the year, and may tangible evidence of a Christian and friendly feeling be generously manifested towards the distressed ones.
BAD TREATMENT TO ONE OF OUR CRAFT IN BAY-DE-VERDE ---- It is only within the last few days that we were apprised of the shameful acts, perpetrated nearly three months since by residents of Bay-de-Verde on one of our craft, while returning from St. John's. The Rosanna, Nicholas PENNEY, master, of Seldom - Come - By, left St. John's on a Thursday in November previous to the heavy gales that were experienced about that time. When about half way across Conception Bay she was overtaken by a snow storm, and ran for Bay de Verde bight. Being unacquainted locally, and wishing to secure safe anchorage, the master made a signal of distress, and sent a boat ashore for assistance to direct him to a good holding ground and to render aid in putting the schooner in a good position for riding out the storm which was raging fiercely at the time. Two belonging to the place went on board but being in state of intoxication, they could not afford the necessary help.
The master then called on others, but the next who responded to the request were just as bad, if not worse, than the first. However, with his own crew, the master managed to secure the craft, but while he was busily engaged in doing so, the parties who had been on board took from the craft a reefer jacket belonging to the master, a spare compass which was in the cabin, a can of paint and a flask of powder, and it was not until after they had left the place that they discovered these things had been stolen. To take such a thing as a compass out of a craft, at a time like that was an act of downright villainy and if the parties could be ferreted out they should be severely punished; and it is to be hoped that they may yet be brought to justice. It was just a short time afterwards while going from Catalina to Greenspond that they were near being in bad predicament by having only one compass on board. When near Gooseberry Rock and about to shape course for harbor, the jibing of the mainsail caused the compass they were steering by to fall about the deck, breaking the binnacle in pieces, but fortunately, however, the instrument sustained no serious injury. If it had, the removal of the spare one might have resulted disastrously.
On Saturday the 14th ult., the schooner, Sisters, belonging to James PEARCE, drove from her moorings in Rousell's Cove, New Bay, and got stranded on Cottle's Cove Point, where she remained until Monday morning, when all the neighbors of New Bay and Fortune Harbor rendered assistance, and after four days succeeded in getting her to a place of safety. I understand that she is pretty much injured. Rudder and sternpost gone, about 30 feet of keel and a couple of streaks of plank. I heard also that the greater part of his Labrador salt was lost.
S.U.F., ROUND HARBOR----Through some oversight on our part, the following item received from an esteemed correspondent some time ago did not appear earlier: --- On Wednesday evening, Dec. 28th, an emergency meeting of St. Andrew's Lodge, S.U.F., was held at Round Harbor for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year, when the following were installed in their respective offices, viz.: --- James CHARD, Worthy Master. Thomas RYAN, Chief Officer. Wm. COLLINS, 2nd. do. Absalom BOLL, Quarter master. Wm. FUDGE, Look-out. James SMITH, Secretary. Charlie COOMBS, Purser. C.S. ROWLAND, Chaplain. Notwithstanding the difficulties which St. Andrew's Lodge has had to contend with, it is in good working order, and the brethren seem indefatigable in carrying on their good work of relieving the sick and suffering, the widow and orphan. That God may grant them much success in their undertakings and stir up others to follow their good example, is the prayer of A VISITOR.
The Rev's. J. PARKINS of Exploits, and J. PINCOCK of Moreton's Harbor, came here on Wednesday last to attend the annual Missionary meeting, which took place on the following evening, and was largely attended. They will also preach in the two churches on Sunday next, morning and evening, alternately.
HIGH LINE OF THE MACKEREL FLEET.---- Sch. Edward E. Webster, Cap. Solomon JACOBS, is high line of the mackerel fleet, having landed 4500 bbls. mackerel this season, 2900 bbls. fresh and 1600 bbls. salt, making a net stock of $24,270. Her gross stock was $26,570. This is the largest stock ever made in the mackerel fishery. Last year the Webster led the New England fleet with a stock of $19,745.76 gross, her catch being 3900 bbls.----2600 salt and 1300 fresh----Cape Ann Advertiser, Dec. 2.
The Captain JACOBS referred to, who has been so successful among the mackerel fleet, is a native of Twillingate, and connected by family ties to Mrs. Titus LINFIELD. He left here some years ago, and like most Newfoundlanders who make a residence in Foreign lands, he has made his mark in the avocation pursued, being pronounced by the above journal (printed in the place where the fishery is prosecuted) as ""having had the largest stock ever made in the mackerel fishery."" We wish him still further prosperity in future.
BRIEN. CANTWELL, ---- At St. John's, on the 5th. Jan. at the residence of the bride's uncle, by the Rev. J. SCOTT, Mr. J.J. BRIEN, to Ellen, daughter of the late Mr. James CANTWELL, both of that city.
STARES, MARSHALL, ---- At Saint Andrew's Church, Brooklyn, Bonavista Bay, on the 26th ultimo by the Rev. Theodore R. NURSE, Mr. Henry G. STARES, to Triphenia, eldest daughter of Mr. Caleb MARSHALL.
LOCKE, BARNES, ---- At Boot Harbor, Halls Bay, on Dec 21st, 1881 by Rev. J. LISTER, Mr. James LOCKE of Little Bay Islands, to Miss Louisa BARNES of Boot Harbor.
Jan. 30th, 1882, --- To the Editor of the Twillingate Sun. Dear Sir,---Can you inform me why the mail couriers do not bring the mail to this place? I am not certain whether there is a way office here or not, but I know there is always a mail made up at the General Post Office, selected and addressed Seal Bay, also during the summer months the steamer calls here and mails are received and delivered regularly. But now the couriers call at the Way Office Leading Tickles, and throw down our mail bag leaving it to be sent by any opportunity that may occur, thus giving us no chance of corresponding with the Northward; neither should we have received the mail at all but for the kindness of Mr. ALCOCK who sent it to us at his own expense. Even now we have to walk about 6 miles to post our letters, with only a chance of catching the couriers. Always being able to post our letters here at the office, these things seem very unsatisfactory to us, and if such a place as this containing about 400 inhabitants, that has always had the privilege of receiving regular mails, is to be so inconvenienced by neglect of couriers, I hope the Government officials will see into the matter and cause them to do their duty, or else the next thing we shall expect to hear is that our mail bag has been picked up somewhere between Leading Tickles and Seal Cove. I remain yours truly, Pro Bono Publico.

La prima stagione di Classe di ferro è andata in onda su Italia 1 dal 6 ottobre al 22 dicembre 1989.

Reclute

Trama
Una serie di giovani in tutta Italia vengono raggiunti dalla cartolina di chiamata alla leva. Rocco Melloni, che vive in una fattoria in Basilicata, vorrebbe portare con sé in caserma suo padre, sua madre o quantomeno la sua gallina. Antonio Scibetta, d'origine siciliana, suona in un gruppo metal sulla costa adriatica, ma ottiene applausi solo quando annuncia la sua partenza per la "naja". Gabriele Serra, barese, lavora nel ristorante di famiglia, e prima di finire in divisa si trova alle prese con un milanese dal palato troppo fino, venuto in Puglia per assistere alla partita contro il .  Sesto Cardarelli, romano, vorrebbe pulire i vetri delle auto fermi ai semafori per arrotondare, ma si trova di fronte la spietata concorrenza di un polacco e l'opposizione di un vigile urbano: lo salva la cartolina. Mario Bertolazzi, studente fuoricorso di Lettere, nella sua Todi si dichiara alla postina di cui è "da sempre" innamorato, anche se la vede per la prima volta: l'appuntamento, però, è rinviato a dopo la leva. Giampiero Montini, di nobile famiglia fiorentina, è praticamente certo di scampare alla chiamata, ma ha una relazione con la fidanzata del suo divorziato padre che viene scoperta e lo spedisce così sotto le armi.  Dopo il primo mese d'addestramento a Trieste, i giovani giurano fedeltà alla Repubblica e con qualche difficoltà raggiungono la caserma di Castelvecchio d'Adige, dove sono di stanza. Ad attenderli troveranno il tenente Ulderico Dell'Anno e il temibile sergente Roberto Scherone. Grazie alla sua capacità di parlare inglese e fare da traduttore per il soldato Reginald Di Tosto, vissuto negli USA ma di nazionalità italiana, Melloni viene promosso a caporale.

Messo in congedo per motivi gravi

Trama
Serra non ha pace e vuole andarsene da Castelvecchio per raggiungere la fidanzata slovena e poterla così sposare. I commilitoni decidono d'aiutarlo e lo convincono a fingersi gay, unico modo per essere riformato "per motivi gravi" e terminare anzitempo la leva. Intanto i ragazzi fanno conoscenza dei "nonni", i militari di maggiore anzianità che tentano d'imporre la loro autorità mangiando una torta destinata a Scibetta. Il gruppo si vendica servendo ai nonni cannoli siciliani farciti con un potente lassativo. Uno degli anziani però aspettava l'arrivo in treno della sua ragazza Flaminia e chiede al presunto omosessuale Serra d'andarla a prendere, essendo l'unico di cui può fidarsi.  Flaminia si mostra subito interessata a Serra, che però continua nella messinscena sempre più a fatica: alla fine però cede e fa l'amore con lei. Per sua sfortuna, nella stanza a fianco si trova il tenente Dell'Anno, che intuisce l'inganno. Il giorno seguente, con una scusa, convoca Serra e, simulando, rifiuta di riformarlo per evitargli un disonore, affermando di volergli trovare una relazione stabile e gli presenta l'enorme addetto alla mensa, Achille, detto Lillo. Dell'Anno lascia i due soli ed esce dalla stanza, lasciando però un microfono aperto.  Inseguito da Lillo, Serra confessa la recita e il ruolo decisivo degli amici e lo sente tutta la caserma, compreso il "nonno" tradito da Flaminia con l'ormai sconfessato gay.
Nel frattempo, arriva una jeep dei Carabinieri con un ragazzo, Mirko De Zan, che si presenta ai compagni di camerata con un salto acrobatico, essendo acrobata circense.

Il circo

Trama
Portato dai carabinieri e in consegna per un mese, in caserma è arrivato un nuovo soldato, Mirko, acrobata del Circo Orient, che s'è sistemato a Castelvecchio a pochi passi dalla struttura militare. Quelli del circo sono senza un soldo e senza mangiare, ma il giovane s'occupa di loro rifornendoli di cibarie prese con l'astuzia dalla mensa e passate alla scimmia Tanga dalla finestra. Inoltre, evade dalla caserma andando a fare il suo show sul trapezio, ma viene riconosciuto da Scherone, che era tra il pubblico. L'intervento dei genitori presso il colonnello Calcaterra gli evita il processo per diserzione, ma la consegna rimane e i problemi economici anche.  Mentre Di Tosto s'interessa alla cavallerizza Olimpia, il gruppo cerca di trovare un modo per aiutare il circo: Montini s'improvvisa prestigiatore, ma non riesce a completare il numero della donna segata e Melloni resta prigioniero dentro l'attrazione del grande mago Aldin (Ciccio Ingrassia), ex membro del circo. I ragazzi cercano di trovarlo e alla fine ci riesce Scibetta, ma neanche lui sembra in grado di salvare Melloni. Alla fine è il mago della meccanica Cardarelli a risistemare le cose, anche se, come sempre, gli avanza un pezzo.  Per lo spettacolo finale il gruppo ingaggia Luisa, fidanzata di Scherone, come danzatrice sexy con il nome d'arte di "Maruska". Il geloso fidanzato, ignaro della vera identità, porta a termine una prova fisica vincendo la possibilità di passare la notte con la donna, ma quando scopre chi è in realtà è disperato. Il gruppo canta l'ouverture del Barbiere di Siviglia, a testimoniare la buona riuscita dello scherzo.

La licenza

Trama
Al rientro da un'esercitazione, i ragazzi si fermano a un autolavaggio per sciacquare il loro carro armato e così battono tutti sul tempo. La furbata vale loro una licenza premio, anche se Bertolazzi si ritrova ricoverato per via di un altoparlante che gli è caduto in testa. I fondi però scarseggiano, e Cardarelli non è di molto aiuto con le sue 1.100 lire gelosamente custodite in cassaforte. L'unica possibilità è andare a Lignano Sabbiadoro, dove i genitori di Scibetta hanno un bar. Intanto, Rocco e Reginald su un autobus accompagnano Concettina, cui Melloni è interessato, ma lei ha occhi solo per il cantante Macho Carrera. La ragazza gli ha scritto una lettera, ricevendo in risposta una foto autografata. Quando la star invita i tre all'interno del suo camper, si scopre che in realtà Carrera è molto più interessato a Di Tosto, così vanno via tra gli improperi di Concettina.
Lungo la strada per Lignano, i quattro si imbattono in casa Scherone e vengono invitati a cena. Addormentano il gatto del sergente per far sembrare che siano velenosi i funghi mangiati dal felino con cui la madre di Scherone ha preparato lo spezzatino. Bertolazzi dopo un fioretto per cui si taglia i baffi viene dimesso dall'ospedale e incontra la famiglia Scherone, ricoverata per indigestione e avvelenamento da funghi (immaginari). Vengono mandati soccorsi anche ai ragazzi, che subiscono una lavanda gastrica senza motivo.
A Lignano il gruppo fa la conoscenza di Gisella, la ragazza di Scibetta, il quale però non si fa vedere perché vuole dedicarsi alle straniere. Dopo aver tentato di rimorchiare in un aquapark, si dividono per avere più chance. Bertolazzi incontra la postina che gli aveva portato la cartolina della leva nella prima puntata, la quale rimanda ancora l'appuntamento... A quando ricresceranno i baffi. Dell'Anno riesce a baciare una donna sposata, ma il marito addormentato si sveglia e lo centra con una ciabatta. Scibetta tampina una straniera ma incontra di nuovo la fidanzata e deve nascondersi, aiutato da Serra che distrae Gisella. Montini infine fa il mago, ma inutilmente. Alla fine Serra con i soldi e l'aiuto di tutti riesce a portare in camera una ragazza ma dopo aver mentito al gruppo su inesistenti amiche, e così scatta la vendetta. Nascosti nell'armadio, gli altri sul più bello irrompono. La licenza sembra concludersi con un insuccesso...ma alla fine ecco il colpo di scena: mentre sono seduti al bar di Scibetta, i ragazzi si accorgono che due carabinieri sono riusciti a conquistare due tedesche. Il tenente Dell'Anno chiede ai due militari come abbiano fatto...e questi gli rispondono che il merito va alla banda rossa situata ai lati dei pantaloni della divisa: elemento che nei paesi nordici è simbolo di nobiltà, alto prestigio ed importanza. Scoperto l'arcano, si recano tutti quanti in sartoria a far applicare le bande rosse ai loro pantaloni...rischiando inizialmente di essere consegnati per divise fuori ordinanza da un sergente di pattuglia. Ancora una volta è Dell'Anno a salvare il gruppo... e di lì a poco tutti quanti si ritrovano a braccetto con delle straniere. L'episodio sembra dunque concludersi con un lieto fine...ma terminata la licenza, al rientro in caserma i ragazzi dovranno affrontare la vendetta del Sergente Scherone, che dopo essere uscito dall'ospedale aveva scoperto il finto avvelenamento.

Il campo estivo

Trama
Alla vigilia della partenza per il campo estivo, il capitano Cavicchi programma la proiezione del film Arsenale, ma il gruppo sostituisce la videocassetta col filmato che l'ufficiale stesso aveva mandato a un'agenzia matrimoniale. Il capitano s'infuria e al campo comincia una serie di durissimi addestramenti in attesa di scoprire i colpevoli. I soldati sono talmente stanchi che De Zan, in libera uscita, s'addormenta durante il numero del trapezio al circo della sua famiglia, che ha seguìto la compagnia.  I "nonni" vanno dal gruppo minacciando pestaggi, ricatti e di svelare la verità con lettera anonima se non risolvono la situazione. Dell'Anno spiega che solo trovando una donna per il capitano, quest'ultimo potrà rabbonirsi e dimenticare tutto. Dopo vane ricerche nei negozi del paese vicino al campo, i quattro hanno l'idea giusta: la barista Bina, che ha già mostrato simpatia per Cavicchi. Scibetta le telefona, imitando alla perfezione la voce del capitano e svelandole i suoi sentimenti. Per non tradirsi, il finto capitano spiega anche che dal vivo, per timidezza, fingerà di non avere mai telefonato. Alla fine, con l'aiuto di Dell'Anno, l'incontro avviene, i due si piacciono e gli addestramenti al campo s'alleviano all'improvviso.  Una mattina, però, Cavicchi vede la donna abbracciare un altro uomo e di colpo le marce tornano durissime. I "nonni" di notte compiono un blitz e malmenano i quattro. Alla fine avviene il chiarimento l'uomo misterioso in realtà è il fratello di Bina. Di ritorno dal campo, il capitano impone un nuovo cineforum, ma stavolta si proietta Rambo, film preferito di Bina, e all'annuncio la compagnia esplode, esultante.

Il caporale

Trama
Bertolazzi tiene ripetizioni su come non essere interrogati e copiare i compiti a scuola alla figlia del colonnello Calcaterra. A quanto pare le lezioni funzionano perché i voti della ragazza migliorano, e così il soldato viene promosso caporale. I suoi commilitoni lo sfottono, soprattutto quando il nuovo nominato e altri vengono spediti a fare la guardia alla polveriera.
Montini, Serra e De Zan organizzano una spedizione di viveri da portare: distraendo l'addetto prendono molto più cibo e anche alcune birre, quindi vanno alla polveriera, la scimmia Tanga si nasconde nella jeep e va con loro. Quando i tre arrivano, vedono gli altri che invece di fare la guardia giocano a calcio. Caldarelli ha modificato un telefono così da poter chiamare all'esterno. Scibetta telefona alla sua fidanzata, Gisella, che gli dice di stare male ed essere in punto di morte. A bordo di una jeep Serra, Montini e De Zan accompagnano Scibetta dalla ragazza. Mentre lo attendono, si distraggono a inseguire alcune ragazze e due malviventi rubano la jeep lasciata incustodita.
Intanto si scopre che Gisella recitava, la malattia era una scusa per far accorrere il suo fidanzato. I quattro si accorgono del furto e vengono aiutati dal padre di Gisella nelle indagini per capire chi ha la macchina. Alla fine si scopre che è stata presa da una banda che rivernicia e rivende auto rubate. C'è una scazzottata e poi intervengono i carabinieri. La banda viene sgominata e il sindaco di Valsesia concede un'onorificenza ai soldati per l'aiuto.
Il colonnello Calcaterra convoca il gruppo nel suo ufficio. All'impresa di scoprire la banda si contrappongono una serie di infrazioni al regolamento militare, così l'ufficiale concede e revoca immediatamente una licenza premio di un mese. Montini propone, come ulteriore "punizione", di avere di nuovo turni di guardi alla polveriera, per spassarsela; il colonnello Calcaterra glieli concede e i ragazzi partono in marcia sulle note dell'ouverture.

Le grandi manovre

Trama
La compagnia parte per una vasta esercitazione. Il gruppo è nella squadriglia Falco 4 e nella prima prova dal carro armato deve colpirne un altro, dentro il quale, non vista, si è nascosta una misteriosa ragazza. Dopo alcuni lanci mancati, decidono di farlo saltare con una bomba a mano da piazzare all'interno. Serra, prescelto, si accorge così della ragazza, che dice di volersi uccidere, e riesce a salvarla dall'esplosione. La donna fugge, ma viene subito catturata dai quattro. Durante la pausa pranzo, tuttavia, ruba il loro carro armato. Intanto, nella squadriglia Leopardo 3, il sergente Scherone dà lezioni di mimetizzazione al caporale Melloni e agli altri.
Il carro dei ragazzi si impantana nel fiume e devono fingere il rischio di affogare per ricevere dalla base l'ordine di abbandonare il mezzo. La ragazza intanto racconta la sua storia: è nata in quei luoghi, che conosce a menadito, e ha raggiunto la zona di esercitazione per trovare il suo fidanzato. Quest'ultimo è nel battaglione di stanza a Pordenone, e il giorno successivo con i colori arancioni dovrà vedersela contro i ragazzi, con i colori blu. Il gruppo e la ragazza, che si chiama Martina, raggiungono una catapecchia. Serra e Montini vanno in missione di spionaggio, Bertolazzi e Scibetta bevono una tisana preparata da lei che li addormenta. La squadriglia Leopardo 3 riceve e porta a termine la missione di minare il sentiero dove passeranno i carri arancioni. Il sergente Scherone però viene catturato. Anche i blu Serra e Montini vengono catturati, ma poi li libera Matteo, fidanzato di Martina, in cambio di informazioni sulla ragazza che i due dicono di conoscere. Possono così rientrare alla catapecchia.
Li raggiunge il tenente Dell'Anno con un'altra squadra e tutti partono per una nuova missione, sabotare gli elicotteri arancioni. La missione è resa impossibile dal tempo perso per salvare, davvero, una scolaresca che con lo scuolabus stava precipitando in un dirupo. La vittoria dell'esercitazione sembra in mano agli arancioni ma, con un blitz a bordo di un'ambulanza sulla falsariga del film Quella sporca dozzina, i ragazzi conquistano il quartier generale e ribaltano le sorti. Nella celebrazione della messa che chiude l'esercitazione, la jeep usata come altare da don Castelli per celebrare all'improvviso parte in retromarcia, ma non è un incidente: a guidarla c'è il gruppo, che può intonare la consueta ouverture.

Operazione simpatia

Trama
I ragazzi sono chiusi in caserma per uno sciopero della libera uscita: si organizzano corsi di acrobazia (De Zan), canto (Serra), poesia (Bertolazzi), rock (Melloni e Scibetta), prestidigitazione (Montini). Intanto alla riunione del Consiglio comunale partecipano anche il colonnello Calcaterra e il capitano Cavicchi. Viene varata l'"Operazione simpatia": per stabilire un miglior rapporto con la cittadinanza, 50 famiglie inviteranno a pranzo un militare. Dell'Anno sorteggia i prescelti, ma bara e fa selezionare i ragazzi per primi.
Serra e De Zan decidono di scambiarsi le famiglie da cui andranno. Il barese va dalle sorelle Brachetti, che sono tre giovani. Cardarelli finisce da una coppia di anziani, i Casanova, che per cominciare hanno il campanello e il fornello rotto. Di Tosto trova una donna che ha appena perso il padre. Bertolazzi incontra la protagonista di uno spot pubblicitario con cui millanta un flirt. De Zan viene ospitato da una famiglia di marchesi e fa invitare tutta la sua affamata famiglia. Montini invece incontra Mondi, il proprietario di locale con cui già avuto un diverbio, alquanto razzista. Scibetta e Melloni invece trovano due bambine.
La giornata dei militari nelle rispettive famiglie prosegue. Serra, ubriaco, recita poesie, Cardarelli aggiusta tutto il possibile a casa degli anziani, Di Tosto addirittura riceve lui le condoglianze e si dispera. Bertolazzi, invece, fa il bagno con la donna. I De Zan fanno la figura dei cafoni con i marchesi, mentre le figlie fanno piedino a Mirko. Montini litiga con Mondi e va via, l'uomo lascia la casa e così Montini rientra. Serra finisce a fare l'indossatore, Cardarelli continua a sistemare cose, le sedie e il soffitto dei vecchietti, Di Tosto assiste ai funerali, mentre in casa dei marchesi la scimmia Tanga porta viveri "veri" al posto delle verdure, e i nobili si lanciano sul cibo. Infine, Cardarelli deve sistemare anche il bagno, Montini beve vino e balla con la moglie di Mondi.
Melloni suona la chitarra, Scibetta balla con una bambina e dall'altro lato della strada vedono Montini flirtare proprio mentre torna il marito della donna. Montini deve rifugiarsi sul cornicione del palazzo passando dalla finestra, Scibetta allora telefona al comando dicendo che il fiorentino minaccia di buttarsi. Arriva una squadra di soccorso con tanto di telone. Don Felice il cappellano entra in casa e Montini si confessa. Il prete avvalora la tesi del suicidio per evitare uno scandalo e alla fine lancia il soldato giù fino al telone, proprio mentre passa Reginald con il corteo funebre.

Gli scozzesi

Trama
Alla caserma di Castelvecchio è ospite una delegazione di soldati scozzesi per uno scambio culturale. Tuttavia, nonostante i soldati italiani si dimostrino molto cordiali e ospitali verso i colleghi anglosassoni, questi ultimi si fanno prendere dai fumi dell'alcool e iniziano a fare i superiori con i soldati italiani sfidandoli a braccio di ferro: Achille, l'addetto alla mensa, perde contro il più grosso degli scozzesi. Allora il sergente Scherone, che era arrivato in quel momento al bar del paese, s'offre volontario per sfidare lo scozzese e, dopo un'estenuante resistenza, riesce a batterlo anche grazie al tifo dei suoi soldati, che prima non lo sostenevano per farlo perdere. Poco dopo, un soldato scozzese, ubriaco, importuna la sorella di Mirko, che è anche la ragazza di Reginald, e questo dà il via a una rissa tra soldati italiani e scozzesi. Nel frattempo, il tenente Dell'Anno s'è offerto di fare da guida al collega scozzese e alla bellissima moglie, portandoli nel night club di Maurizio Mondi e, dopo avere fatto ubriacare il tenente scozzese, fa l'amore con sua moglie.
Il giorno dopo, un piccolo drappello di soldati scozzesi, guidati da un sergente, decide di porgere le proprie scuse a nome di tutti i soldati ospiti e, tramite Reginald che fa loro da traduttore, chiedono d'andare in un bordello con delle ragazze a pagamento. I militari inizialmente sono restii, ma poi Montini ha un piano: lui, Bertolazzi e Scibetta accompagneranno i soldati in un bordello di loro conoscenza... che altro non è che uno studio dentistico in cui una dottoressa cura i pazienti utilizzando l'ipnosi invece dell'anestesia. Al loro risveglio, i soldati scozzesi si ritroveranno con alcuni denti in meno.
Arriva il giorno di un'azione di commando per i due plotoni: vincono i soldati italiani anche grazie a uno stratagemma del tenente Dell'Anno: modificando la mappa degli scozzesi, li manda verso una cascina di rozzissimi agricoltori che, vedendoli arrivare, li scambiano per terroristi e li riducono a mal partito.
Terminato il periodo di scambio culturale, il colonnello scozzese ringrazia ironicamente i soldati italiani per la bella accoglienza e li minaccia velatamente con la promessa di ricambiare il favore quando loro andranno in Scozia, come da programma. Calcaterra informa il tenente Dell'Anno che lui marcherà visita, ma il tenente non potrà fare altrettanto. Sulle note dell'inno scozzese, i soldati scozzesi si congedano malconci.

La vendetta

Trama
In una delle loro libere uscite, Montini, Serra, Bertolazzi e Scibetta hanno voglia di andare a giocare d'azzardo in una bisca. Cosa non facile, in quanto la bisca è di proprietà di Maurizio Mondi, che come li vede li scaccia in malo modo. Montini promette una tremenda vendetta ai danni del Mondi. Intanto, la febbre del gioco dilaga nella caserma di Castelvecchio: bische improvvisate vengono messe su nei garage e negli scantinati della caserma e invece di soldi si gioca a bossoli. Puntualmente, il sergente Scherone viene a requisire tutte le "fiches", ma poi sarà contagiato anche lui.
Nel frattempo, il capitano Pieraldo Cavicchi sta vivendo un bellissimo momento: è infatti il momento per lui di sposare la sua Bina.
Mentre il capitano si sposa, Montini mette in atto la vendetta ai danni di Maurizio Mondi: con la complicità del tenente Dell'Anno, farà entrare Gabriele Serra al club travestito da donna e lo farà vedere a Mondi che, sorpreso dal fisico androgino del ragazzo, lo scambierà per una vera donna e inizierà a corteggiarlo. Maurizio Mondi lo caricherà nella sua macchina e inizierà a portarlo per le vie della città per una notte d'amore. Serra però vedendo una tenda in mezzo alla strada allestita per dei lavori in corso si ferma e chiede soldi al Mondi, poi scende e va a corrompere i due operai che stanno lavorando...che altro non sono che Bertolazzi e Serra travestiti. Ottenuto il via libera, Serra chiede al Mondi di seguirlo nella tenda.
Intanto Montini aspetta che la moglie di Mondi torni a casa e, con una scusa, la intrattiene. La signora Mondi però vuole salutarlo perché ha un appuntamento col marito e teme per l'incolumità del giovane marchese, che però le fa vedere Serra che esce dalla tenda dicendo che il Mondi è un porco. Perplessa, la signora Mondi poi vede la tenda aprirsi e rivelare il marito in costume adamitico. Ormai la vendetta è fatta. Per festeggiare, Montini va al night di Mondi e fa scoprire alla signora Mondi la stanza segreta che il marito usava per portare le clienti più belle. Lì consumeranno una fantastica notte d'amore.
Al night arrivano anche il capitano Cavicchi e gli altri ufficiali dopo il taglio della torta nuziale, e tutti passano una notte magica tra canti e balli.

Una festa americana

Trama
Il colonnello Calcaterra riceve la telefonata del generale Thompson, responsabile della vicina base militare NATO a Vicenza. Il generale ha un problema: è il diciottesimo compleanno della figlia Ruth e in più è anche il Giorno del ringraziamento, per questo tutti i suoi militari sono in licenza e non c'è nessuno che possa riparare l'impianto stereo per la musica. Vengono quindi chiamati Cardarelli per le sue doti di meccanico, Melloni per la sua conoscenza dell'inglese e il tenente Dell'Anno. Viene chiamato anche il sergente Scherone, che si presenta in assetto da battaglia. Intanto Montini, Scibetta, Serra e Bertolazzi vogliono fare uno scherzo a Rocco (che doveva andare al cinema con Concettina a vedere Il laureato) e le dicono che Rocco non potrà venire perché impegnato a Vicenza in atti libertini. Concettina s'offre per chiamare un suo cugino "capo-bastone" che potrebbe picchiare Rocco, ma Montini s'offre di portarla lui stesso a Vicenza. Mentre viene messo in atto lo scherzo ai danni di Rocco, Cardarelli si dà da fare per riparare lo stereo per la festa, riuscendoci e permettendo che la festa di compleanno possa avere inizio aiutato anche da Rolf, un gigantesco cane di San Bernardo di proprietà del generale, che s'affeziona al fante romano.
Intanto alla festa arrivano anche Montini, Scibetta, Bertolazzi e Serra con Concettina, che riescono a intrufolarsi alla festa dal momento che il capocuoco è calabrese come Concettina. Inoltre Scibetta viene messo a fare da disc-jockey, dato che il precedente s'è stancato d'aspettare e se n'è andato. Mentre il tenente Dell'Anno cerca di conquistare una pari grado statunitense, Montini viene accalappiato da Trudy, un'abbondante ospite della festa che lo scambia per Dante Alighieri e lo costringe a ripetere versi tratti dalla Divina Commedia.
Mentre tutti sono presi dai festeggiamenti, uno strano personaggio agisce nell'ombra tramortendo alcuni del battaglione Tigre: prima il sergente Scherone, che viene anche legato, poi Concettina e Rocco, che si trovavano a scappare l'uno dall'altra per lo scherzo di Montini. Lo strano uomo ben vestito si materializza nella sala e viene scoperto da Serra (che era stato precedentemente tramortito, ma s'è ripreso). L'uomo allora mostra un detonatore che, se premuto, farà esplodere la casa e rivela che è una vendetta verso il generale Thompson: l'uomo infatti è il capitano Steewell, portato alla Corte Marziale dallo stesso Thompson e condannato a vent'anni di carcere per insubordinazione. Grazie però all'intervento di Cardarelli, che attiva il mixer a tutto volume facendo cadere il lampadario di cristallo sopra Steewell tramortendolo, il pericolo cessa. Alla fine, tutti sono pronti per tornare in caserma anche se Cardarelli è un po' giù di morale perché non vedrà più Rolf, al quale s'era già affezionato. Torna però allegro quando vede il grosso San Bernardo inseguire il fuoristrada; in un linguaggio che il fante capisce, Rolf gli dice che verrà a trovarlo con frequenza in caserma.

Buon Natale marmittoni

Trama
Anche a Castelvecchio D'Adige arriva il Natale, eppure i militari della caserma sono un po' preoccupati: stanno pensando infatti a una grossa sorpresa per rendere il loro Natale indimenticabile, però lo Stato non è dalla loro parte in quanto darà solo un panettone e uno spumante per camerata. Quindi Bertolazzi ricorda che il paese ha fatto pace con i militari e quindi si può ricorrere all'associazione dei commercianti che potrebbe collaborare dando loro qualcosa. L'idea si rivela fruttuosa, avendo però un ostacolo nel Rivelli: infatti il commerciante, che non ha mai amato i militari, pensa di collaborare dando loro dei prodotti avariati spacciandoli come "stagionati". Solo l'intervento di Dell'Anno camuffato per l'occasione da agente del fisco permetterà ai militari di avere una piccola vendetta dato che Rivelli ne approfitta per regalare loro prodotti che aveva acquistato sottobanco.
Intanto, Montini deve vedersela con il ritorno di Carmen, l'ex fidanzata del padre con la quale lui aveva fatto l'amore il giorno del giuramento e che si presenta con i segni della gravidanza. E il padre è proprio il giovane marchese, che adesso non sa che cosa fare, perché non si sente pronto per essere un ragazzo padre. Cardarelli intanto ha una gradita sorpresa: Rolf, il San Bernando del generale Thompson, è venuto a trovarlo ma ora il fante deve trovargli una casa poiché l'animale non può stare in caserma. Riuscirà a piazzare il quadrupede a casa dei due vecchietti che lo avevano ospitato durante l'"Operazione Simpatia", rinunciando a malincuore ad un incontro amoroso con una massaggiatrice romana che abita al piano di sotto e che conosce grazie allo stesso Rolf. Rocco invece vorrebbe tornare in Basilicata con Concettina per farla conoscere alla propria famiglia, però non ha i soldi necessari per il biglietto del treno: una vincita di don Castelli a carte però sarà sufficiente per risolvere i problemi del fante. Montini è deciso: si prenderà la responsabilità del suo gesto e diventerà il padre del bambino. E lo dice proprio nel momento in cui Carmen sta per partorire. In ospedale, Bertolazzi si mette d'accordo con Carmen e, dopo una breve combutta, fanno entrare nella stanza Montini, a cui Bertolazzi spiega anche gli "svantaggi" dell'essere un ragazzo padre. Come l'infermiera entra nella stanza per far sì che il bambino riconosca il padre, Montini dice che il vero padre è Giorgio Rossetti, l'attuale fidanzato di Carmen. La sera della vigilia di Natale, tutti sono felici. Montini riceve una telefonata: è Carmen, che gli spiega di aver architettato tutto per avere Giorgio con sé e che il bambino non era di Montini, ma di un pilota norvegese sposato.
Dopo la messa di Natale, tutti si precipitano nel piazzale della caserma, dove vedono un elicottero scendere e recare la scritta luminosa "Buon Natale Marmittoni" scritto però con una sola T. Dall'elicottero escono Scibetta travestito da Babbo Natale e Gisella vestita da assistente che consegnano i regali di Natale. Dopo questa sorpresa, tutti si danno alle danze: coppie già formate, come il sergente Scherone e Luisa e il capitano Cavicchi con Bina o di recente formazione, come la figlia adolescente del colonnello Calcaterra con il giovane fratello del fante De Zan. Anche Montini e Dell'Anno ricevono un bel regalo di Natale: arrivano in caserma infatti Eleonora Mondi e Kathlyn McIntire, moglie del tenente scozzese. Concettina e Rocco si preparano a salutare i propri commilitoni dando l'appuntamento "al prossimo anno". L'episodio si conclude con l'augurio di buon Natale da tutta la produzione di Classe Di Ferro ai telespettatori di un buon Natale e un buon 1990 e di un arrivederci al prossimo anno, cosa che fa intuire che ci sarà una seconda stagione.
