Costello (TV series)

Costello is an American television sitcom that aired from September 15, 1998 to October 13, 1998.

Premise

The series was about an Irish-American family in South Boston. The central character is Sue Murphy (Sue Costello), a barmaid who has broken up with her boyfriend and is trying to improve herself, despite the incomprehension of her blue-collar family.

Critical response

The show wasn't popular with critics, who considered it vulgar and shouty. A review in The New York Times said, "There are entirely too many colorfully crude blue-collar characters". The Los Angeles Times called it a more working-class Cheers and criticised Costello's acting ability.

Costello (online game)

Costello is an educational MUD — a text-based online role-playing game — designed for teaching English as a foreign or second language. It is offered online as a free service. Created in 1995, it was innovative in its use of the MUD medium for EFL/ESL instruction,and has received positive critical response.

Characteristics

Costello is intended to function both as an engaging game and a teaching environment, following the reasoning that players will be more motivated to learn if their skill acquisition aids them in their game-play. To avoid degrading the value of language skills acquired, the game's command parser avoids support for ungrammatical shorthand forms; where a typical MUD might allow a player to examine a hat with the syntax l hat, Costello requires look at the hat. An integrated dictionary provides explication of unfamiliar terms.

The game may be played through a Web browser using a Java applet or using a Java client distributed on a CD-ROM with the course textbook. A non-networked standalone application version of Costello is also included on the CD-ROM.

Costello (surname)

Costello is an Irish and Italian surname in the English language and Italian language.

The surname has been borne by a notable Irish family who claimed descent from Jocelyn de Angulo (fl. 1172), Anglo-Norman knight. The family first appears on record in Ireland in 1193, when the Annals of the Four Masters state: Inis Clothrann do orgain la macaibh Oisdealb, & la macaibh Conchobhair Maonmaighe. (Inishcloghbran was plundered by the sons of Osdealv, and the sons of Conor Moinmoy.)

In Italy, the name originated in the Campania region and in Sicily but is now more prevalent in the northern regions of Italy. Its origins as a surname are from the medieval Latin name "Costellus". It is related to Costa, a more common Italian surname, as its diminutive. http://www.ganino.com/cognomi_italiani_c

Oistealb or Osdealv was the Gaelic rendering of Jocelyn. The sons of Jocelyn were Philip, Gilbert, and William de Angulo. The descendants of William de Angulo (or Mac Costello) settled in Connacht and the name became Gaelicized, dropping the surname de Angulo in favor of Mac Oisdealb, or Mac [C]ostello. The barony of Costello in east Mayo is named from this family
