Hi, all,

I don't recall seeing this info, but for those fans of Red Dwarf, it's on
KCET in southern California Tuesday-Friday mornings at 12:30 am (that's
when it's dark :-).  I think it's currently in the 2nd season,
but as I'm only a casual watcher, I'm not sure.  Get those VCR's ready! :-)

And supposedly on TNT, Monday mornings at 1:00 am, Logan's run is on
(I believe that's the series that was, well...canned :-)

Just FYI...

I read in a recent tv column in the Washington Post
that RAVEN has been picked up for the fall.

I have heard no news about Man & Machine although
I did hear that The Human Target was near the bottom of
the ratings chart.

Any other summer series make it?

When I called Chicago Cable, they had no info.  When I called USA,
they told me that they were negotiating with TCI!!!   I took this to

I just watched it too.  What a bizarre ending! 



So, Avon is standing there, the Fed guards are all around, he slowly
starts to lift his gun, and then he starts to smile and he is looking
past the camera.  I think that Servalan has just arrived, and he lifts the
gun to kill her, and they all fire.

     I personally liked Covington Cross, more for the characters than
the story or the setting.  I'm a History grad-student(Medieval) so I
would also like to see the show be more accurate, but I'm willing to
let accuracy slide for characterization.  Hopefully, if the show does
do well, after a season there will be more historical information and
accuracy.  This worked for The Young Riders - after a season or two
or hooking people in with hunks and gunfights, the scripts improved
and the issues of the period came to the forefront(Civil War, etc.).
I'm expecting(praying!) this pattern happens again with Covington
Cross.
     On independent women: there are more examples of women refusing
marriages and being independent than most believe.  It was easier for
the nobility than for royal or peasent women to challenge the system.
More specifically on the charactor of Eleanor - at 18, she's almost
un-marriagable as it is.  There are stories of women like her, who
stayed unwed for many years, and then going into convents with their
inheritance(which immediatly got them a position of importance).  Also,
England was much less oppressive than other European countries - women
could inherit land(even though only if NO male heir could be found).
Women were second class in this society, I don't want to make their
situation seem easy, but an independent women is hardly a shock in
the medieval periods.
     My only real accuracy complaints: no pants for women!  A women in
pants would be considered obscene!  The other complaint is about her
crossbow shooting.  No way would she have the strength to draw one of
the crossbows of the period.  Even if she had one specially made for
her, the power of the bow would not be enough to hunt with or shoot
through even leather armor.
     Basically, I'm willing to live with anachronisms as long as Nigel
Terry continues to in the lead.  The supporting cast seems strong too,
except for Ione Skye - she looks like a mannequin, and emotes even less
than a mannequin - and if the show gets some support, than the historical
accuracy should improve.

No, you saw what you were supposed to see: Avon shoots Blake, Arlen
shoots Deva and Dayna, Soolin and Tarrant shoot a couple of Federation
guards, Federation guards shoot Vila, Soolin and Tarrant, Avon stands
over Blake's body, raises his gun, smiles, the picture freezes and you
hear gunfire.

It's my understanding that this episode was designed to be the fourth
series cliffhanger.  Unfortunately, the BBC cancelled the show and
there was never a fifth series.  So the cliffhanger became the last
episode.

Each series ended with a cliffhanger: Orac's prediction of Liberator's
destruction, the Liberator standing alone against the invading
Andromedan fleet at Star One, the destruction of the Liberator at
Terminal.  Of course, each cliffhanger was resolved at the start of
the next series.

> [...] confusion and frustration [...]

All I can say is that I am very happy that I knew what happened in the
last scene in "Blake" before I ever started watching the show.  (I
knew nothing about the rest the episode.)  I would have hated to come
upon it cold...

Hi all,
       Recently a friend of mine sent me a tape of a BBC TV series called
"Pulaski" starring David Andrews as Larry Summers, a drunkard "Tough Guy"
actor who is in turn playing Pulaski a typical US private eye, except
he's in England???.

(Confused??? You're not the only one :-)    )

Anyway I only saw one when they where originally shown (1987 I think?).

Well my question is, is DAVID Andrews of Pulaski fame the same guy as DANA
Andrews who stars in "Mann and Machine". I believe that before M&M Dana
did a series called the "Advocates".

They look and sound almost identical the only thing that stops me from declaring them to be the same guy is that:-


 1) He hasn't changed in the last 5 years (assuming it is the same guy he looks better now!).

2) I remember Dirk and Dak Rambo and the confusion acting TWINS can bring.


Anyone know any more????

Organization: Netcom - Online Communication Services (408 241-9760 guest)


For the past few days as I've been flipping through the dial I've come
across a channel that is displaying what appear to be computer
generated graphics and playing sort of eerie/ominous music.  It didn't
occur to me what it was, I thought it was one of those educational
programs and didn't give it too much thought.  But today on the public
access channel of my local Cable Co-Op they announced that this was
the Sci-Fi Channel and it started to make sense.  Obviously they
haven't started programming yet. But I'm not sure what they are trying
to do by what they are broadcasting.

I've seen things like what appeared to be the viewscreen and some
instrumentation of a space ship.  Along with some alien language
characters on the panel.  I've seen what looked like a fly by over the
top of fractal landscapes. Sometimes there are sort of poofy
concentric circles and there's a woman speaking what seems to be a
sort of Sci-Fi poem.  Right now they are showing what looks like
you're travelling very fast across a place that has a low ceiling and
floor but no walls.  And what look like alien "words" are zooming from
the horizon to right in front of you.  And as each "word" zooms
forward a voice sort of mumbles in an unintelligable language.

Does anyone know when the channel is supposed to start normal
broadcasting.  I heard that they are going to do something special as
they start and I'd like to get it on tape.

I'm very pleased with my cable-CoOp of late after a year and a half of
adding nothing but crumby pay-per view and useless religious and
shopping channels they've  finaly come to realize that they need to
give us something good.  I hope the cartoon network is next.  Maybe
this customer owned cable company stuff aint so bad after all.

Gladly.  :-)  Let's see...there's one, Someone Applegate (NOT Christina, from
Married With Children, this one is a black male and I don't think CA could
pull THAT off...;-), who was in The Color Of Truth, and a more recent one,
I think, although, I can't remember which one.
Also, Olivia Burnette played Sam's sister, Katie, in "The Leap Home," as 
well as "his" daughter in "Another Mother."
And if you count the actors who portrayed Gooshie (Dennis Wolfberg) and
Dr. Beakes, they've been in more than one episode each...
Not sure if the same woman played Donna in each episode...I don't think
so...the younger one was much better looking.  Just MHO...:-)
I think there are others also, but I can't remember off hand...I may be
thinking of Charles Rocket, who, as you pointed out, was in both "A 
Little Miracle" and "A Leap For Lisa."

  Yes, I think that is how he did it.  What I meant was this; have you 
ever listened to your own voice which had been pre-recorded?  It sounds 
different, right?  Now imagine that pre-recorded voice was using a
different speech pattern than you normally do... :)  Now imagine trying
