Didn't they do something like this to that movie "Julia & Julia" with
Kathleen Turner and Sting? It was a really weird movie to watch. Anyone
else notice this movie?

Weiner... It isn't familiar at all... I don't ever remember seeing this  
guy in any credits (and I usually study credits to see if patterns arrise  
with wirters and certain directors).  I did see him on Entertainment  
Tonight once, and if I can remember correctly, he isn't directly  
associated with the show, but he is indirectly connected (he's the  
neighbor of Joshua Brand, or something like that).

Article-I.D.: transfer.7087

Has anyone been watching those wonderful 1970's British
comedy shows on PBS (or at least on WGBH in Boston, Mass.)?
We've been trying to figure out how many episodes there were
altogether (we think about 60), how many seasons the show
was on, and how many episodes there were each season.
Is there any episode guide available for this show?
I figured I'd try the net before calling WGBH....

Thanks!

Why not?  THe Catholic church is hardly subtle, and if I had the

Date: Tue, 13 Oct 1992 05:25:34 GMT

I'm a long time "3's Company" fan, but I am confused by the "sequel"
series, "Three's Company, Too!"  This is the one that has Jack living
with a chick named Vicki, with constant interference by her father (played
by the lovable Robert Mandan - better known as Chester Tate) and a surfer
dude played by Alan Campbell.

<<<I believe it's call "Three's A Crowd".


Anyway, here is my question: Does anyone know what the "story" is?
I.e., how did they get from the three folks in the original apartment to
Jack living in a completely different apt, with a completely different
supporting cast?

<<<Jack met Vicki on a airplane. She is a flight attendant. He invited her
<<<over to the apartment to meet his two room-mates, Janet and Terry. Janet
<<<is engaged to Phil to be married and will be leaving the apartment to start
<<<her new life. Terry, I believe is going to move to Hawaii. So that leaves
<<<opening for Jack to move in with Vicki. BTW, Jack does ask Vicki to marry
<<<him but she is the child of divorced parents and although she does love
<<<Jack, she is afraid of marriage. So they decide to live together, much to
<<<distress of Vicki's father.

Also, what exactly is the "situation" between Jack and Vicki?
Are they "doing it"?  If so, why aren't they married?  Is she on the Pill?

<<<Oh yes, they are doing it! In fact at one point Vicki's father tells Jack
<<<that is the only thing they have in common. This leads Jack and Vicki to try
<<<to prove her father wrong by going to activities which one of them enjoys
<<<and the other tries to see if they can find common ground, all the while
<<<they try not to have any physical contact (kissing, hugging, etc.).

Is there any way Canadians can see KITH uncut?  I suppose with a
sattelite receiver but........
Now that SNL has lost Mike Myers (gosh....he's Canadian) I think the
overall level will (and has) go down.  Sprockets, Waynes World,
Middle Age Man, Handsome Man, If it's not Scottish.... these were
consistently THE best skits in the past 3 years.  ILC is usually
pretty stupid, but Jim Carey (GOSH.....he's Canadian) adds a layer
of physicality than enhances virtually ANYthing he's in.

KITH blows away both shows.  In fact I place this show alongside
Monty Python and Second City as the best non-situation comedies ever.
(non-situation therefore doesn't include Fawlty Towers, Blackadder,
Reginald Perrin, All In The Family etc...)

If there weren't the odd really bad Kevin MacDonald sketch, then KITH
might even be at the top.????

Much appreciated!  Descriptions of sketches like : 'Cabbagehead gets
assasinated by militant feminist' or 'Kevin gets apartment redecorated
complete with a demon in the closet' or 'Buddy manages a girls baseball
team' would be good enough.  Sorta like TV guide might do.

The working title of the episode, which I posted, um, oh, whenever it
was I went to the QL offices last, was "When Venus Smiled". It was
listed as such in many local newspapers that day, as well.

The title change to "Leaping of the Shrew" was obviously a last-minute
one. Why? I dunno, and don't much care.

One thing I liked about "Nowhere to Run" was that it was the first
episode this season NOT to get a title change. :-)

Then how do you explain the facts that the image of the young child
Indy is still displayed in the opening credits, especially when the
theme music ends, and that in last Monday's (October 5, 1992) episode
- Germany, Mid-1916 - I was sure that I saw the names of three actors
in the beginning credits, only one of which said "xxx as Old Indy."

BTW, just my opinion, I don't much care for the Old Indy.  I can't see
it.

"Total kookburger" I don't agree with.  I find it disturbing that people
are so quick to call anyone different names like "kookburger".  Not
disturbing because they're being rude, not disturbing because I disagree
with their opinion, but disturbing because it takes a lot of insecurity
and intolerance to go around making snap judgements on someone's mental
and social competence based on very little knowledge of the individual
in question.  (ie. calling Sinead a "kookburger" (I like the word,
though!) because of a protesting action she took on SNL).

I can't believe I've become caught up in the lives of the coffee people
(it's Taster's Choice, by the way), but we don't know who he is.  At my
house we're guessing he's her brother or ex-husband.

As for confusing him, I think he was just teasing. All he said was "she's
getting changed," and let the American neighbor jump to his own conclusions.
He also seemed to be teasing the British woman when he said "I said you
were in the bedroom," which is much more suggestive than what he actually
did tell the neighbor.  I thought he was just having fun.
