Review & Description

Everybody loves ice cream. It’s cool, sweet and delicious. It’s also the tantalizing topic of this happy documentary program that takes viewers to ice cream places across America from Vermont to Hawaii, highlighting outstanding places to get a cone or a bowl. An Ice Cream Show features mostly small ice cream lovers – from makers and eaters to collectors and cone-makers.Here's the scoop: From big dippers (a pre-sellout Ben & Jerry's) to little dippers (Carl's in Fredericksburg, Virginia), this delectable documentary tours the country to talk to people who make, sell, scoop, and study ice cream. An Ice Cream Show visits such local institutions as Bassett's in Philadelphia and Matsumoto's in Haleiwa, Hawaii, presents the history of Howard Johnson's, and studies the science of ice cream at Penn State University. It also gets good dish from soda jerks who reveal that "Check the vanilla" is store code for "A pretty girl just came in." Viewers also meet such entrepreneurs as Robin Rose, who started a traffic school for chocoholics in Los Angeles, and browse among vintage ice cream collectibles.

We all scream for ice cream, America's favorite frozen dessert. An Ice Cream Show is as reassuring and satisfying as a dish of French Vanilla.
