Okay, most everyone in this group knws that Roc is being
broadcast live this season (and doing very well, too).

But, does anyone out there know if its truly live, or going
out under the standard 5 - 7 second delay? Doing truly live
TV runs a lot of risk with the eople at the FCC.

	That oughter get their attention...

	In the video store last night, I saw the Showtime movie "Deceptions"
with Harry Hamlin and wife (as we speak, at least) Nicolette Sheridan.
This reminded me of a "review" of HBO/Showtime movies and their "raciness"
(= sex) compared to prime-time network programming.  The article gave
"Deceptions" a "B" for the sex, ranking a movie which starred Val
Kilmer and wife Joanne Whalley-Kilmer with an "A".  Apparently it appeared
Kilmer & Kilmer were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

	The questions are:  what was the name of this movie and is IT
available on video?

	Regarding Posing Nude trivia,

	Dana Plato posed nude for Playboy before the crime spree;

	Erika Eleniak is on "Baywatch", is dating Billy Warlock, formerly
of "Days of Our Lives", who used to be married to Marcy Walker -- is this
a lucky guy or what? -- and Eleniak was a runner-up in the 35th Anniversary
Playboy Playmate Hunt.  She was also the "girlfriend" of the main human
character (Henry?) in "E.T." at approximately the age of 8 or 9.

	Pamela Anderson, of "Home Improvements" fame, was a Playmate
but not Playmate of the Year.  Lisa Matthews was the PMOY that year.
As of last year, Anderson had paired up with Scott Baio.  I haven't
found "Baywatch" on my syndicated programming, so I don't know for sure
if she's on the show yet.

	Any more questions?

There is supposed to be a nude one of her floating about the BBS world. I
saw a reference to there being one such in a newspaper article somewhere
recently which was saying how minors had access to "pornography" via
downloading GIF images via BBS's. 

But, of course, somebody could have edited a nude shot of any random
model shaped reasonably like Applegate and put her face on the picture,
so any such GIF may or may not really be a nude picture of her, or just
a synthesized imitation.

There are some US skin mags that specialize in printing nudes of
film stars and other celebrated individuals, but I haven't seen any
of these in some years so I don't know if a nude of Christina Applegate
is a common or a rare thing...

While the networks don't have such series (all their half-hour non-comedies
are reality-based), there are several in syndication and cable:

Action/adventure: Superboy (synd), Super Force (synd), Swamp Thing (USA)
Thriller: The Hidden Room (Lifetime), The Hitchhiker (USA), Ray Bradbury
	Theatre (USA), Tales from the Crypt (HBO)
Sexy: Red Shoe Diary (Showtime), probably a few Playboy At Night shows

In fact, both Tales from the Crypt and Ray Bradbury Theatre had
emmy-nominated performances in the drama series categories.

Are any of you out there getting somewhat tired of every weeekend (well, just

Marathon"???   Here's just a list of a few I remember:


		Eddie Murphy Marathon
		Wayne's World Marathon
		Music Weekend Marathon (I can't remember what they called it)
		(there were others I can't remember)

However, IMHO, it seems like Every weekend, CC is foisting another half-baked
SNL marathon on us.  Now, before you SNL fans flame me, I like SNL as much as the
next mammal, but this seems to be going too far.....

CC, I realize you have a laaarge library of SNL tapes, and that you probably paid
a fortune for them, but reallly.....

			How 'bout a MST3K marathon for a change????

I'm sure that other devotees of NX will remember the episode in which all
the men of Cicely participated in the annual nude run through town. :)  Lots
of buns there!  

For anyone who wants to see Rob Morrow's buns for about 5 minutes, check
out the extremely silly movie _Private Resort_, in which he ends up running
around the corridors of his hotel nude but for a strategically placed hat. :)
Not bad! ;-)

I'd rather have Rob than John Corbett anyday.  I just go for that neurotic-

Ione Skye indeed, and as the only American in the cast dealt quite a
blow to national pride in acting -- she was awful.  And couldn't keep up
an English accent for more than one syllable per sentence.

I agree that Nigel Terry has aged nicely.  I was trying to think who he
reminds me of now, and finally it came to me: Christopher Guest playing
Count Rugen in The Princess Bride!

Did they reunite John Boorman's (from Excalibur) Arthur and Guenevere on
purpose, or is it is just one of those odd accidents of casting?

I'd be jumping for joy about this, but USA doesn't broadcast in stereo
as NBC does.  I have caught some REALLY good background noises in some
of the episodes, especially left/right and/or separate.  I'm afraid that's
going to be lost.  But, I'll give it a try and see what happens.

Well, Saturday night at 9:00, on Nickelodeon is when they're supposed to

but a friend of mine told me which it was, and I recognised it).

Did you ever see the movie with Doris Day where she's doing 
commercials?  The first week the TV show is a WW II Occupied
France drama with a cruel German officer mistreating a Frenchwoman
who refuses his advances in a bistro.  The next week the TV show
is about a cruel Bandito who mistreats a Mexican woman who
refuses his advances in a cantina.  The story is the same, the
action is the same - even the actors are the same.  When the
sponsor is asked "Isn't this the same show that was on last
week?"  he says "Oh, people don't notice stuff like that."  I
guess you agree with him.

  Also, I can swear there was a previous version or different theme
for the early shows. The beginning we get now here in England is the
single stringed instument, and I believe before it was a vocal,
sort of countryish tune. Any help out there? Anyone know why it
changed? The episode it changed with was the two parter, where the
guys let the girls go camping, and the girls leave them naked in the
woods.
