I had a thought about Joel last week.  You may recall that last year, Rob
Morrow had a contract dispute with the producers.  They were ready to fire him
and hire what's-his-face, The Amazing Teddy Z, as a different doctor.  Now,
this season, Joel seems reduced to a minor character.  Are the producers
trying to teach him a lesson?  (You aren't as important to the show as you
think you are!)

Try this one:

	The cabbies are all sitting around talking about several things.
Invariably, an out of the blue question comes up, like "Do you know how
many stamps go through the post office in Zimbabwe?"

From the bench near the soda machine, Jim says flatly, "2.657 million a year."

	Later, the question comes up, "How much does it cost to put one
of those (rockets) into space anyway?"

From the bench near the soda machine, Jim says flatly, "Approximately
$13.7 billion per launch."

	Later, someone asks, "How many redheaded people do you think there
are in America."

	Everyone looks over a Jim expecting an answer, he looks blank,
runs his hands through his hair, shrugs his shoulders and throws his
hands in the air. "You went to the well once too often!"

I almost wet my pants the first time I saw that episode!

REVEREND JIM RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quick informal poll here: Which handlink do you prefer--the slim
black modified-TI type one (I know this one went through several
versions itself, but it's a pretty broad description); or the new
chunky Lego-block thing?

E-mail me if you wish (rck1@midway.uchicago.edu); I'll summarize 
to the group.

Anyway, the handlink underwent this drastic change in "The Great
Spontini" (minor spoilers):


In the judge's office, the handlink is throwing a fit, refusing to
come up with any data. Al repeatedly pounds on it until it emits a
little strangled noise (causing Al to remark, "I think I killed
it..."). The next time Al appears, he has the new Lego-type thing.
He refers to it as the "backup handlink," but apparently it's taken
over...

My theory--how Al found out about Beth when he was repatriated:

Al would've been hospitalized for a while--malnutrition, ect.
The works.  The military would've informed him that Beth was
unreachable--had remarried, and possibly have left him a note,
once she saw the photo in Vietnam (the ep) and tried to explain
herself.  Once that happened, and Al found out she was remarried,
I doubt his pride would've allowed himself to search her out.  (She
doesn't want me, so I don't want her sort of mentality.)

Just me musing.

Yea, I havn't read it yet, but I heard Barry Williams on a radio show
telling a funny story about how he was smoking some reefer one day
and was called to the set unexpectidly (Uh, oh!). After he got there
(still stoned) he felt he would attempt to give the character "Greg"
greater dimension. You know, sorta "fill him out" as a person. Could
someone who read the book better relay this anecdote and perhaps tell
which episode/scene Greg's "expanded consciousness" took place?

It's not a single quote, but one of the best, if not the best scene in 
"Taxi" is when Jim is taking his driver's test.. (Maybe it's the *taxi*
driver's test.. I dunno.. whatever, it's irrelevant)

He gets stumped, so he asks the other guys, who are standing
nearby (the actor, Alex, and Elaine, at least).

He whispers to them "What do you do when you see a yellow light?"
(paraphrase if not exact)

the actor - "slow down."

He whispers "whaaat dooo yoouuu dooo wheeennnn youuuu seee aa yelllooowww
liiightt?"

the actor - "slow down!"

He says "whaaaaaaaaaaaat doooooooooo ...."

and so on.. you get the picture.. it happens 3 or 4 times, and is very funny.

   Also, another one on All in The Family, Archie got locked in the basement
   and all he had with him was a bottle of booze and a tape recorder. (No one
   else was home) After getting smashed from the booze, he thinks he's going
   to die, and decides to record his "Last Will and Tentacle" It was hilarious
   I can't remember his lines, but they were all along the lines of "last will
   and tentacle" i.e. scrambled up words and stuff...

   Fred

The best part of that particular episode was the ending when Archie is
rescued. A man comes in (I don't remember who the character was supposed to
be) and hears Archie's cries for help from the basement. He lets Archie know
that he is coming to get him out. Archie, in his drunken state, thinks that he
is dying and God is coming to "take him home". As Archie turns to meet his
Maker he discovers that the man is black.

	But most non-natural blondes would be careful enough to dye
them, too. :) I knew a guy in school who was tow-headed with dark brown
eyebrows (his blonde hair darkened later, but stayed blonde). My mom was
somehow convinced he was dying it, but I found a picture of him at 
four years old and he looked just the same. :) The effect is striking enough
that someone who has that combo might just keep it.

"Here and Now" was canned by NBC.  Your affiliate is not the cause of
the pre-emptions.  NBC is airing re-runs of "Empty Nest" and "Nurses"
until February, when a schedule change will take place and Wednesdays,
Thursdays, and Saturdays will be re-aligned.  Translation...NBC is
running scared now!!!

Ah but of course!!  There are now three *seasons*:  Fall, Winter,
Spring.
The Fall season is the main season, with the Winter one (just under
way) is the time when all the bombs from the Fal season are replaced. 
The Spring season is the time when all of the shows that were canned
earlier air their last few shows and shows that never aired are given
a chance.

   Actually, there were 4 dogs who played Tiger: Chip, Ruckus, Tiger1, and
   Tiger2.

   By the way, Millicent thought she had Measels, and Mike's boss played
   by Jim Backus was Mr. Harry Matthews.

Foley didn't make it to NYC for their guest spot on Short Attention
Span Theater (hence, his absence from the promos).  The Kids who DID
make it told us that Foley was about to be a father and couldn't leave 
his wife in Toronto to be on the show.  

I don't know if she's had the baby (kid? :) yet.  Has anyone heard?
