Last week we had a major fuss over Maurice using the word Jap.  

This week Maurice outdoes himself with anti-German remarks, and we are silent.

Or do we realize that Maurice is unintentional crude in his ethnic remarks?

	Was this actually stated? As far as I know, there's no such thing
as a degree in "pre-med". You major in something, but with a pre-med
slant to it. (i.e.- make sure you have taken the necessary pre-reqs for
med schools. ;)) For instance, I am one of the few biochemists NOT going
pre-med, but we all take the same classes and will all get the same
degree, which would be a B.S. in Biochemistry. (Or a B.A. - MOST pre-meds
go the B.A. route. [Wimps! :)]) The only difference is that they will
apply to med school while I go into the industry...

	So he must have chosen *something*. My story I'm writing 
assumes it's not biochemistry, though, as the young woman whose life
he changes later becomes the PQL biochemist (SOMEONE has to monitor/
predict the effect this Leap thing will have on living tissue! :)).

watch Qunatum Leap and it's pretty annoying and time consuming having

First, I'd just like to say that this week's SNL was incredibly funny, and 
completely makes up for last week.  However, I have a question regarding 
next week.

According to the promo, Jason Priestly is the host next week.  Is this going
to be a rerun of the episode he hosted last season (with the Winter Olympics
opening sketch)?  I just want to know, because if it is, I want to tape it.

Thanks.

P.S. If it helps, the musical guest was listed as Teenage Fanclub.  I can't
remember who the musical guest was on his show last year, hence the question.

   So what did people think of last week's PICKET FENCES?  I got a
big kick out of the opening scene and the Tom Lehrer song.  It was
a big improvement on the ``hands'' episode, but there are still things
about this show that rub me the wrong way.  I didn't like the way
the midget mellowed during the program.  Fundamentally, they were
using two very old plots: lovable-character-with-terminal-illness
and break-the-law-to-rescue-abused-animal.

Sorry Mirin, but you got sucked in by the cable companies' disinformation.
The *local* affiliates can, *if* they choose, charge a cable comapnay for
carrying their signal.  If a local station does that though they lose the
right to force the cable comapnay to carry them.  This is also true for 
local non-network stations.  I don't know if the local stations will all

I agree with all of the above.  Judith Ivey is very good at delivering

that "Miss OPD" is gone.  This season of Designing Women looks
promising--more like the first season of the show.  I know this is true

The funny thing is that he then proceeded to spend half his show
blasting her!  Don't get me wrong - I thought he was hilarious.
That bit about her being "coyote ugly" was a riot!  And then he
got "The...Reverend...Jesse...Jackson" AND Sinead... :-)

Seriously, though, the woman simply has no talent.  When she started 
singing, for a minute I thought someone had forgotten her background
music.  A minute later, I didn't care and turned her off in disgust.
Not until the following day did I hear about the incident.

	I would really appreciate it if anyone out there could give me a hand

one that was aired.  I figured that I would just be able to get the first
episode when they re-ran it.  Unfortunately, they didn't re-run that one, and I
have a rather glaring and annoying hole in my collection.
	So, is there anyone out there who has the very first Young Indy episode

My two favorites are the "reminiscing about an old friend... whom they've just

Not just the MidWest.  I almost had an attack here in Western New York.  I 
just bought a 2600 square foot house on more land, for far less money than
that tiny home costs.  For 250K you can get yourself maybe 3000 square
feet in the most desirable part of town.

I figure he's in the "also starring" credits that begin each individual
episode, but I've never been able to pick his name out.  I guess I
should concentrate harder.  My, my...interpreters have lives!!  :-)

In addition:  a big "Wow!" for the whole episode!  I'd never have
believed that the fullest statement of the whole pornography / violence
against women dilemma yet seen on prime time would be in an episode of a
weekly series like this.  Admittedly the two FAP women were presented as
suburban dilettantes, but the things they had to say, and more
particularly the things Maggie said in court, were not at all
ridiculous.  One could have considerable sympathy for them, as Tess did.
It's just that....well, Tess said it all in her final speech to the
reporter.  As the interpreter added to close the episode, "Bravo!"

Midwesterner, the prices they mention seem insane! :-)

I'm waiting for them to work on a real brick house, not these
chintzy frame structures they constantly use... They should take
a field trip to St. Louis; we've got thousands of rehabbable brick
homes built in the 1900-1920 timeframe which should be a great project.
And you can buy them for $20K instead of $200K! (I sold my mother's 
estate's house for $19K in 1988; structurally sound, perfectly liveable 
neighborhood. So I'm not exaggerating.)
