>>Has "Get A Life" been permanently canceled or is it just on hiatus?
-- 

"Get A Life" (or the PC "GAL") has been canceled (but what is permanently
canceled? -- sounds like "terminally dead"). GAL is most certainly not on 
hiatus.

An example of a show on hiatus is "Manimal." "Manimal" has been on 
hiatus for approximatley 8 years. One might go so far as to say that,
"Manimal" has been "permanently hiatused."

It was "Chris Elliot Action Family", originally on Cinemax but it's also 
out on Video.  Dave Letterman and Bob Elliot both have great cameos.

He did a second special (not nearly as good) called "FDR: One Man Show".

Yep.  Damn funny stuff.  The woman who played Dave's wife in the
Letterman family xmas show, played Chris' wife in this special.

All these references to Daniel Stern...
Isn't he the guy whose voice you hear narrating on "The Wonder
Years", as well as on some Burger King and other commercials?  Also,
he played one of the burglars in "Home Alone", and has done a lot of
small parts in TV shows and perhaps movies lately.

"Action Family" and Chris' other Cinemax special "FDR: A One Man Show" are
now out on video. You may be able to find it in your local video store.

A couple of thoughts on "Action Family":

-it *did* combine both cheesy sitcom and cheesy Quinn Martin cop show, but
let's not forget Action Family's tribute to the Partridge Family, singing a
dopey 70's pop song at the end of the show.

-Dave Letterman has a great cameo, as does Chris' father, Bob Elliot.

If you want to know more about Chris Elliott and his relationship with his
father I recommend you read _Daddy's Boy_ his autobiography.  It is a
humorous "Mommie Dearest"-like expose and each chapter has a rebuttal by
his father.  It also has an amusing introduction by David Letterman. 

Bob's former partner Ray Goulding is dead now, but Bob frequently turns up
on Garrison Keillor's program on NPR.

Never heard of Daniel Stern.  However, I believe that Chris Elliott is Chris
Elliott's real name.  His real-life dad (*Bob Elliott*) played his dad in
the show.  Now, if memory doesn't completely fail me, Bob Elliott is known
for his adventures as part of the Bob and Ray comedy team.  Anyone else

For those who may have missed it, he also was featured recently on 'Seinfeld',

of a Bubble Boy.  He seems to get a lot of work these days.  Where else have

I don't know how successful a writing campaign would be, considering that GAL
was one of the lowest-rated shows on television, but it's definitely worth a
try.  After all, it worked for Star Trek back in the '60's -- at the time,
Star Trek was a low-rated show, but it had a strong cult following.  Mind you,
I doubt that GAL's following is as big as Star Trek's was, but let's try
anyway!

News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.4-b1

I heard on CNN that Dave Barry would be appearing on Larry King's CNN talk show 
on Thursday night.  It starts in my time zone at 7:00 p.m. MST, I suppose that
would be 9:00 p.m. EST.  He usually has two guests, and the show lasts two
hours, and they didn't say exactly which portion of the show he would be on.

Ladies and Gentlemen, believe it or not, I met Dave Barry in a SIZZLER in
Miami on August 4th, 1992!!  Here is how our conversation went:

Me (nervously) : "Mr. barry?"
The genius: "Yes."
Me again: "What great words of wisdom can you give to a young person?"
The man (shaking my hand firmly) : "Well,, grow up, and eventually
you'll die!"
Me: "WOW!!  Are you going to do another Tropic Hunt???"
Dave: "Of course."

(what didn't happen..)

Me: "Will you be my best friend in the whole world??"
Dave: "Of course! Here's $10,000."

Well I DID meet the guy...
