This was also reported in morning edition of The New York Post.  I liked
his character.  This is the second time (maybe third) he has left a series
to pursue his singing career.

I understood there was more to his leaving beside just moving back to LA.  I
did not see L&O in its first season.

>that was too wrenching for words.

I do not think they will go this route again.  Sorvino's character is one
you could expect to take early retirement from the force, or be transfered
to another spot in the department.  As for the choice of Jerry Orbach, I
think we will see the last season of this series.  All the we may hope for
is a Hunter like mid-season character change, one which will not kill the
program.

Damm, I should have taped more of this seasons episodes.

I think it is just part of the cycle. Give it a year or 2, and they

  It was the girl. I think her name was Annastasia something. Was it

Whittaker is still alive, but Mr. French (Sebastian Cabot) isn't.

Last season's finale was on again last night.  Anybody know what the
title is (and last week's where Kevin goes to see Cara again if you
have it)?

Who's in charge of the ep guide?  We need a complete fifth season
update.

There were also two other guides posted about two years ago to this
group.  I have yet to find them via ftp.  One of them had a list of
all actors at the very beginning and the guest actors for each ep.  I
forgot what the distinguishing characteristic of the other one was.
Neither had a full list of titles.

Does anybody have either of these two or know where to get them?  (I
know there are WY fans who have been on this group as long as I have)

Thanx in advance,

The list didn't show up here either.  In fact, I did a search for Vidiot in the

In our house, it is the "surfboard".  This is derived from our

Also, if you've ever seen the remote for a JVC VCR, you'd know

This is a strange coincidence.  About a week ago, a buddy of mine was
just telling me about the mysterious disappearance of the Little
Rascals.  According to him, Bill Cosby bought the rights to the Little
Rascals some time ago, in order to remove it from distribution.
Apparently Bill feels it is very racist, and doesn't want it around.
