I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think this.  I could have sworn
that there was something there to indicate that Sam was the reason
those guys got caught at Watergate.  It seems like a rather important
scene to cut out, though.  Maybe we were just imagining it or just

Hmmm. Yup, they did have to save the Earth. 

First time: From the evil Gamalons who used their radiation bombs. They
             had to get the Cosmos DNA from Iscandar. 

Second time: From the evil Comet Empire that was coming to take over Earth.
              They defied orders to go and find this out. 

Third time: I dunno. I saw the tapes, something about the Bolar Wars, but

The significance is that last week's title was "Pig in the Python"
which one of the characters said is supposed to be a symbol of the
baby boomers--they are like a big lump (pig) in the chain of history
(python).

So this week's title was a continuation of that theme, and I guess the
word pygmalion was supposed to refer to the change in the
characters--the obvious one of Nora getting new clothes for the main
character, and the STUPID one of the rock singer falling in love with
the jerky rock-band guy.  That had to have been the stupidest plot
turn I've ever seen on prime-time TV.  She showed no interest in him
(romantically) until he told her he'd house her and her son.  
GACK.

Do you think it will last for a couple of seasons or do you think they will

He may believe that the majority of the American public is going to be
more sympathetic to children.  The money goes to help all victims of MD,
not just the children.

I've seen past telethons where they have reports on people of all ages.  I do
agree that the majority of the focus is on children (Jerry's Kids), but
people may be more inclined to give money when they see some cute little girl
who can't walk but is still smiling...

The same goes for those foreign aid things.  If you give money, you get a
picture of one of the children.  You don't get a picture of grandpa...

	In my continuing search for television shows I enjoy watching,
I am yet again posting a tape request.  But, I am also going to list
what I have in my collection in hopes that I will get a response since
usually people want to get something they need also.

The Night Stalker, Highwayman, Tucker's Witch, Voyagers, Manimal, Otherworld,
Greatest American Hero, Shazam & Isis, and episodes I am missing of the
shows I list below.
	I'm interested in a lot more too, so if you have something you'd
like to to trade, let me know.  I'll take just about anything in the
SF, FAntasy, strange different genre!

	Now, I have episodes of the following shows:

	Bionic Woman, Blake's  7, Invaders (2), Misfits of Science,Max 
Headroom, UFO, Six Million Dollar Man, Space: 1999, "V"-mini series and series,
Wonder Woman, Wizards and Warriors, Star Trek, Logan's Run, Salvage One

I don't have all of the figures, but I do believe that there was only
one year (since I've been involved) where the amount raised was less than
the year before.  I believe that was in 1980 when unemployment was at 10%
and other sad economic woes were about.  

The amount raised by the telethon is a pretty good indicator of the
economy.  No surprise there.  I understand that they only raised $500000
more this year.  Quite low for a one-year differential, I believe. 

I wonder what the south florida compliment raised this year?  And what
effect Andrew had onthe mda fund-raising attempts as many people have
recently contributed to Andrew relief as well.

Sure.

1.  Nora's remaking of, uh, whatever Riegert's character is called was most
Pgymalion-like.

2.  It's a play on last week's title, "Pig in the Python", which refers to
the immovable mass of baby boomers aging and driving all markets and culture,
much to the annoyance of those of use a couple of years younger.

Perhaps the term for her is "sex-crazed".  She makes Dan Fielding seem like

Yes, it was a funny pilot, but I wonder where it's going to go from here.
It seemed more like a one-time sketch than a basis for a series.  How many
times can she steal the guy away from his job for a wild afternoon?  I'm
going to watch it next week to see what it's *really* about.

As I posted here a couple of weeks ago, this previously announced date

that the QL premiere is Sept. 22. Unless we get the George 'n Bill

It's "two feet".  

This reminds me of the controversy surrounding the "All in the Family"
theme song.  Near the beginning we had:

   by the wiggling milliglades -->  By the way Glenn Miller played

and near the end:

  Gee are ald assal rad rate  -->  Gee our old Lassalle ran great

If you watch the later episodes, these lines were cleared up

Here's some more songs, at least episodes with songs, though I'm blanking
out on the words:

Fred as Hi-Fi, the new rock star.  Wilma and Betty ended his career by calling
him "square", and by making hand motions to that effect.

The Fred dream sequence where he was an international rockstar...I distinctly
remember a scene in Russia.  Maybe this was the Twitch, come to think of it.

Ann Margrock did sing another song at the Hollyrock Bowl.

Recently I saw Ultraman on FOX.  What a piece of crap.  The Ultraman I saw
many years ago was an addictive, action filled, imaginative series and
this new series (filmed in Auzzy land) completely fails to live up to my
expectation.

The acting is pure crap.  No wonder it's shown at such odd time (6:30am).
I only wish the original series was shown instead.

The only "spoil" -er for Covington Cross is the writing - it's 
thoroughly putrid!

Nigel Terry (_Excalibur_, _Lion in Winter_ - jeez, this guy ever
play someone AFTER the battle of Bannockburn?) and Ione Skye
(_Say Anything_) are wasted in this drivel.
