Well, I read this on Popular Science(or one of those mags):

1) That there's a news pay TV channel called: SF Channel
2) That among other great SciFi shows, they are
   airing the six, that's: 6 hour version of the movie Dune.

Even since then, I have been trying to find a video store which 
has this in stock -- to no avail.

Thanks for you attention,

A while ago, PBS stations across the country broadcast THE SINGING

Well, while I agree wholeheartedly about the stupidity of the commercial
it is worth noting that "blanc de noir" _is_ a legitimate (at 
least sort of) wine term, meaning, roughly, white wine made from
dark grapes.

This has got to rank up there as one of the best episodes for the second
season of QL. However, I think I caught a slight error in the show.
The episode guide says this takes place in Sept. of '81. Yet, at the end
of the show, Jackie asks the boy to go to the Mardi Gras dance. Isn't
Mardi Gras the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, which is in the spring? 
Other than this, it was a great episode. I especially liked all of the early
'80's music. "He's so shy...."

Is anyone else having trouble with Comedy Central's signal lately?  Some
part of the video is oversaturated and it's spilling over into the audio,
making a horrendous static-y noise.  The problem is at its worst during
bright, colorful scenes; at some points, the picture cuts out completely.
Colors, particularly reds, are also breaking up with a sparkling effect.

Should I call my cable company (which is otherwise excellent) or is this
a Comedy Central problem?

MST3K was almost, ALMOST unwatchable this weekend with the static.  Hope
they rerun it soon, "Monster-A-Go-Go" was the pits, but the comments
were hilarious.

Been around on this once already;
Its Maraid Ni Brennan, (Enya's sister) singing, the group she sings with
is Clannad, the song, which predates Enya's fame by a few years now,
is "The Theme from Harry's Game" (a British 2-hour movie whose plot is
nothing like its theme music), the language is Gaelic.  

If you like the sound, though, you will probably also like Clannad's latest
records (I like the earlier, rooted in jazz & Irish folk, better myself,
which is not to knock the new ethereal sound unduly) & will also like Enya...
You might also like Canadian Loreena McKennitt, who usually sounds more
towards this stuff than that piece ending Northern Exp which someone said
was by her...

I'd hardly call this nepostism - she was hysterical!  This was
especially surprising since she never struck me as an actress
with any comic sense at all.

If you want real nepotism - check out the lambasting that Tori
Spelling (90210) is getting:

  Julie Brown did a sketch showing her slapping everyone around
   and is being sued ("She just went to her dad [Aaron Spelling]
   and started shouting "Sue them, daddy, sue them!")

  SNL - the "absolutely Tori sketch" in which she was played by
   melanie hutsell (?) who also does Jan Brady.  She said something
   about the two guys on the show not being all that exciting:
   "I've slept with both of them. They had to, it's in their contracts.
    Thanks, daddy."

       And the most recent SNL which had a string of Amy Fisher movie
       spoofs including one in which "The Daily News says -
       Tori Spelling makes Drew Barrymore look like Amy Fisher."

"Da Bears" on Saturday Night Live

Now that Mike Ditka is no longer the coach of the Bears, I wonder if they
will continue to do this sketch on SNL.  I assume that they are parodying
Ditka with the sunglasses and black moustaches.  There is a sports announcer
on WGN from Chicago named Chuck Schwersky(sp?) and when they talk, they kind
of sound like him, but since I have never seen Chuck, I don't think they are
trying to parody his looks.  The restaurant they are in is called "Ditka's"
after the former coach for those of you who were wondering.
It will be interesting to see if they do a "Bears sketch" this Saturday.

By the way, WGN is channel 9 out of Chicago(and 9 on cable) and 720 am on
the radio(which, on a good night can be heard as far away as Sweden- The
farthest away I have heard WGN was Clearwater, Fla.)

Kumiko was the daughter of the Kyoto Slasher. She was living with the
brother of the killer. When she found out that the killer's brother had
found the bloodied knife, she had to kill him. It was sure a quick change
from the time Raven found her without her costume to the time she attacked
him from behind on the boat.

The reason I believe that she became the slasher was because she respected
her father, and if she convinced the world that she was the Kyoto Slasher,
maybe her father would be released. Correct me if I'm wrong.

> I'd appreciate hearing if anyone else out there had any sound problems as

I wish Ski would lose his crusty accent ... he's very hard to understand. I
still haven't figure out why the goons were after him. What pictures were
the goons looking for?

Besides that, the sound came in pretty good here. However, when Kumiko was
confessing to Raven, I couldn't understand her. Maybe it was because she
was crying and talking at the same time.

P.S. Notice that the flashbacks were in black and white except for the blood
around the neck area ... interesting effect.

Hurrah!  Hurrah!  Hurrah!  Going to Extremes will stop wasting
air time.  It was a lame stupid show with cheesy one-dimensional
characters and cheesy predictable plots.  Now maybe Brand and
Falsey will get back to where they belong, namely shoring up
NEXP.

All this IMHO of course.
