Maaayyybe something good, maaaayyybe something bad.

Whether Paul Corrigan's ideas have any merit or not (I think some do, some
don't, so far (which is a Good Thing, Paul :)), R&S /is/ a unique cartoon,
that has some things in common with other cartoons.  And discussing that
is what ATR&S is for.

Oh, yes they have.  The majority are pure drivel.  They're improving, a wee
bit, but most aren't nearly as good as R&S or (joyful shudder) Loony Tunes.

Maybe, maybe not.  Sure, they were both space cartoons, but the similarity
ends there.  The Loony Tunes space cartoons /usually/ ended fairly happily,
or at most with someone getting shot at a bit.  R&S, though, end in what I
can only describe as a /nightmarish/ quality.  I like it.  Think of Stimpy
finding that he /did/ have a pocket full of change.  I thought it was a
/great/ show of futility, and of missing salvation by the narrowest (and
thoroughly meaningless!) margin.  Wonderful, wonderful stuff.  Think of
the history eraser button getting pressed, and /everything/ disappears.
What a grim ending, especially for something that is supposedly for kids.
I love it!

Well, pinkie, J.R. "Bob" Dobbs is the founder of a great religious
movement over taking the world, in league with the Xists who will come by
way of greyhound through Nevada on July 4th, 1997 -- Armageddon.

Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

I'm pretty sure it was in Haunted House or Mad Dog Hoek.  I do remember

I enjoyed Mad Dog Hoek and Sven Hoek so much this
last weekend (although I wish I'd known about the
drinking game) that I uploaded a few audio snippets 
to: dev-null.phys.psu.edu /pub/incoming in the Sun
.au format.  (anonymous ftp)

IMHO, these two shows are the most entertaining of them 
all!

Please note that although no one despises altering
original artwork more than myself, I took the liberty
of deleting silence from some of the longer bits to 
preserve disk space.  I gave any files over 20 seconds
the -long modifier.  

I hope those of you who care to copy them find as much
JOY as I found making them...

Also, this may be a FAQ elsewhere, but does anyone
have a voc-au conversion script or program?

I hate to see people get worked up about stuff when they are wrong from the

that this quote keeps up the tradition of being interpreted several ways.

Hi all, I am new to this group so please forgive me if this is a
common question.  I have heard stories about the forbidden episodes
or supposedly really cut versions of the TV aired R&S.  Is there
any truth to this and if so how can one obtain these forbidden or
cut episodes?  Also, why are the forbidden or cut?  Are they just
unsuitable for children or is it worse than that?

Thanks.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my inquiry about the car with
"L A LAW" plates whose trunk is slammed shut during the opening
sequence each week.  The consensus is that the car is, indeed, a
Jaguar.  There was no definitive answer on the model, although I would
guess an XJ-6.

Btw, it couldn't be a Dodge Viper as one poster suggested.  The Viper
is a brand new car which didn't exist when the show began back in (I
think) 1986.

	This is supposed to be a new season right?  Well, how come NBC
keeps running episodes from last season?  For instance, last week's
episode was one from the beginning of last season.  Sometimes it happens
two weeks in a row!  Very irritating!

	I don't know about anyone else, but it really bugs me when they
rerun old episodes during a new season.

Is this to give Bochco a chance to save the show this season or is it to not

This is a bit of a digression, but I can't help but jump in here since
the Big Sur country is one of my favorite backpacking places.  You are
correct that the Inn is named The Ventana which is taken from the
Ventana Wilderness area of the Los Padres National Forest.  The area
along there has some of the most spectacular views along the entire
west coast.  Slightly inland in either Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park or
the Ventana Wilderness is the best four season camping and hiking within
a short drive from Silicon Valley.  Ahh, now I want to get my backpack on--
all we need is another weekend with a break in the rain.
