Any network that aborts the Croatia vs. Dream Team game in favour
of diving DESERVES to lose megabucks on the Olympics. I still
can't believe they did that. The Croatia/Dream Team game was the
*only* interesting matchup of all of the dream team games. And
it was the one game NBC chose to nuke halfway through.

Personally, I hope the network goes bankrupt as a result.

I have a wonderful 1984 book published by the Smithsonian entitled
"Yesterday's Tomorrows: Past Visions of the American Future" (Joseph J.
Corn and Brian Horrigan) that accompanied their exhibit of the same
title.  It includes a photo of a 1955 Ford concept car, the Lincoln
Futura, that you will instantly recognize as the Batmobile (well, it
isn't black and there's no jet exhaust in the back...).  It states this
car "eventually was used as the Batmobile in the popular television
series 'Batman'."

It is under the subject "Triplecast" or something like that.

Get real!  It just convinces them that they must get exclusive rights
to the Olympics for 1996.

PPV is the way cable will go unless it gets some serious competition.
It is the only way it can efficiently control access to programming and
offer premium services.  Offering premium services is the way any
business makes gravy-profit.

>5) Just how much did it cost an individual cable system to set up
>for and support this particular PPV effort?

On my system, they pre-empted a local access channel, Sportschannel II,
and a PPV movie channel (one of three).  The local access channel is no
big loss...especially during the summer when it is not used.  I don't
know how they reimbursed SC2 subscribers for the loss of a couple of
weeks of access.  I'm sure there was some cost to the system there.
And I'd bet that my system lost money compared to what they could have
made off of the PPV channel they pre-empted.

What really made me wonder was that my system did not pre-empt their
video ads channel, nor their PPV previews channel, which seemed like
better choices than pre-empting a PPV movie channel.  For that matter,
we have channels 2-54 and channel 56 (American Movie Classics.)  That
seems to indicate to me that channel 55, at least, could be put into
service, on a PPV basis, at any time.  Is there something I'm missing?

Unlike practically everyone else, I didn't like the Dennis Miller show very
much.  His interviewing style really sucked, at least initially, and very
often his comedy bits really bit, he got more sympathy laughs than any other
talk show host I know.
  
On the plus side, he did have some interesting non-mainstream guests, but
Leno seems to be doing that now, so there really is no use for Miller.

           

     They're my opinions all mine and you can't have them...

Trish, I just had to make a comment before anyone else does about
your address.  Does the company send out samples of the adult
novelties ;^)...

Also, I wanted to add a couple of more comments.  About Angelique's
hair, I think they are trying to bring it back to it's natural color
by coloring it after it has been bleached for years.  It certainly
is in poor condition...speaking as an ex-beautician from long, long
ago that's what I did to my hair when I wanted it to go back to it's
natural color.  It is much more noticeable when it is going from
being bleached with black roots, good example is Madonna.

Also, I, too missed the year book and I haven't had much time to
post lately.  My son had emergency surgery and will have to have
another on August 20, then I was on vacation for awhile so I am
still trying to catch up on work (the word work translates into
reading rats).

I think there will be a letter written by Edmund's mother somewhere
in the stuff Helga brought over that will tell him about his true
parentage.

I didn't care for Ditsie's attitude when she was having a talk with
Dr. Bluejeans.  She was there with her tail between her legs
apologizing and whining and looking pitiful like she wanted him to
start hanging around her again.

>the only one who'll put up with Kolchak :-).

I think it goes this way:

"The Night Strangler" (1971) - civil war era doctor ( was Steve Austins boss in
 6 million $ man) alive (or whatever) in modern times living off of young
 ladies blood.

"The Night Stalker" (1971?) - original pilot of the same name - Modern day
vampire killing show girls in Las Vegas.

"The Night Stalker" (1974) - T.V. pilot, or first episode, budget smaller,
 only 1 hour, - same plot as above only different city (Chicago..i think).

The first two had Carl Kolchak having girl-friends (almost contrary to his
character in the series...) he was busy snooping around, getting in the laws
way, saving lives....his own sometime.

This show was produced by Dan Curtis, the same guy who gave us "Dark Shadows"
in addition the movie/shows music was done by  Robert Corbert also of D.S fame.
Essentially the two movies and the first few episodes were written quite
well. They had an eerie, scary flavor to them. However, the later shows got
kind of dumb due to the lack of character and plot ideas. You kill a vampire
this week, next week its a werewolf...after this a swamp monster...and a
head-less motorcyclist after that?  The show got kinda campy, sort of
what happened to the "Lost in Space" series.

I think the agitation between Kolchak and Vincenzo was tops.
He didn't care who he had to tell off or whos head he had to go over just
to find out the "truth". He would get fired, go out on his own to reveal a
supernatural crime/person or thing, eventually getting his old job back.
Other times he would get arrested for getting too deep into police matters,
later exposing the horrible truth, and consequently getting off the hook.
And lastly, to find out that the truth was being "suppressed" by the authorities
for the benefit of society as not to cause a panic.

All in all I think it was one of the best sf shows on t.v. even today.

And yet in one episode she was bonking a bloke....she was bisexual, clearly,

Except that "Woz" had a few other minor things going for it: like a

than a pair of standup morons.

"Likable", to me, doesn't mean "fill her mouth with a lot of preachy,
feel-good lines just so everyone will approve of her despite the
utter shallowness behind them or the [lack of] acting ability on
the part of the messenger." 

That episode featured two of the biggest continuing embarrassments Trek

It now looks like "I, Borg" on my tape (overwriting "Imaginary Friend",

fresh look.
