Waterworld: A Live Sea War Spectacular is a popular attraction created initially for Universal Studios Hollywood in (October) 1995. It was based on the 1995 film "Waterworld" starring Kevin Costner. The attraction was designed to bring the action-packed world of the movie to life and immerse the audience in a thrilling post-apocalyptic adventure set on a water-covered Earth.

During the live show, a large set resembling a floating city is showcased, complete with elaborate stunts, pyrotechnics, and water-based special effects. The performers, dressed as the characters from the movie, engage in high-energy action sequences, including jet-ski chases, acrobatic dives, and combat scenes. The show features a variety of daring stunts, including impressive water stunts, explosions, and thrilling aerial performances.

The story revolves around a battle between the Mariner, the film's protagonist, and the criminal Smokers, a group of pirates. The audience witnesses the epic clashes between the Mariner and the Smokers as they navigate the watery set and engage in intense fight scenes.

Home and Family (formerly The Home and Family Show) is an American morning talk show hosted initially by Cristina Ferrare and Chuck Woolery. The show premiered on April 1, 1996, on The Family Channel and ran until August 14, 1998, featuring numerous recurring and regular personalities known as "the family" who share tips on beauty, crafts, cooking and the like. Originally among the family were Jamie Wynn (chef); Candace Garvey (lifestyles); Mayita Dinos (gardening); Bob Golic (variety of topics); and The Carey Brothers (carpentry and home repairs).

The show was revived in 2012 and remains unique in that the daily guest star is asked to remain for the entire two hours. This provides a much broader view of the personality and interests of the star. Crew members are often seen, as well.
