Correct.  The actor's name is James (Jamie) Walters and yes he was
Bingo in Leap for Lisa.  The show seemed an awful lot like Melrose
Place, but I'll give it another episode or two before I pass final
judgement.

Best part about it was the music.

I read an article where he talked about being in a lot of Westerns.
He says that is his preferred role.

On the same general theme - does anyone else who has seen the movie
Unforgiven think that the role of Little Bill would have been perfect
for "Maurice"?  The scene in his new house with all of the "drip
buckets" while he is going on and on about his past conquests seemed
to be in the Maurice character.  OTOH, I thought that Gene Hackman
did a wonderful job, and is more of a "draw" I suppose.

     Not being a vampire lover myself,except for Langella's film...I am a fan
of Jim Parriot the producer-director. I checked and he also did the first ver-
sion with rick springfield. While rick is not a great actor,there is something
much different about the new version. This new guy seems to bring something to 
the role that seems to come thru the TV. Maybe I just like blond men :> but 
then rick just does't have any macho and seemed to be confounded by the role.
In general these episodes are better than most of the canadian shows. I have
both "pilots" on tape and the differences between the 2 are quite interesting.
But bottom line it I really think it is the actor that makes this version best.
  Cannell is really struggling to keep his empire alive..and make the payments
on the big office building. Now that we have a "film tzar",he may be lured 
back to LA to do his shooting. Hollywood needs the work!

One point to make is that the Dean, played by Carl Lumbly [sic?], speaks

I am just slightly disappointed. I would have thought that perhaps
someone would have mentioned one of my *favourite* cartoons that
showed in the early 70s but I was sure was made at least 10 years
earlier than that:  Felix the Cat.  I really don't remember many
of the characters from that one, but I do remember Felix, Poindexter
and the martian ...

I tell you...I have never felt so cheated in all my life!  QL, nominated
for at least 3 Emmys, and not 1 win!  How long has this crime been going
on?  Scott Bakula is very, Very, VERY deserving of an Emmy (certainly more
so than Rosanne), and Dean should get one as well.

But just who is Harrison Page?  What episode was he in?'

What's the track record of QL, as far as Emmys go?  Nominations?  Wins?

At least TNG won a couple.

	I've just decided that Fox folks are really smart.  They have taken me
from being hooked on one show (90210) to being semi-hooked on three.  First they
have 90210 on Thursday, a good night for me.  Then they move it to Wed. a worse 
TV night, but I make the time.  Then they put old episodes on Thursday so, I 
keep that time slot open, and they put Melrose Place after the new episodes of 
90210, I am already at home in front of the tube, I might as well watch this 
show even though I don't like it as much.  Then they put The Heights into the 
old 90210 slot, I have already been watching at 9 on Thursday so I might as well
watch this show as well.  Now I've decided I like The Heights alot.  Jeeze,
Wednesday and Thursday nights are gonna be booked solid.  Now if they would only

Keywords: GOING TO EXTREMES
Date: 3 Sep 92 22:42:42 GMT
Distribution: na
Organization: The John Fluke Mfg. Co.  /a.k.a. The Gizmonics Institute/

Going on the theory that it's a Brand & Falsey production, I took a look at
the new GOING TO EXTREMES, playing at 10 PM Tuesdays on ABC.  The plot of
the series is about a group of students attending a Caribbean medical school
-- a refuge for those who couldn't get into a stateside medical school.

The initial take one has, almost immediately, is that the concept and
mechanics of the program are amazingly similar to previous B&F productions.
The concept of the show seems to be made for a high-concept one-line summary
"St. Elsewhere school in Paradise."  The flavor appears (from the pilot) to
be about 70% NORTHERN EXPOSURE, 30% ST. ELSEWHERE.  Certain characters (at
least, in their makeup, if not in their execution) reminded one of
characters in this series -- the founder of the school (wonderfully done by
Roy Dotrice) is a Maurice character all the way, and the new male student
has a number of "Joel"-like capabilities to him (it's sort of as if they
merged Joel and Fiscus.)  There's also a "nervous" student (Elliot from St.
E.), etc.; a lot of resounding of times past.

This is rather surprising from a couple of people who tend to do something
new each time they initiate a series: both N.E. and I'LL FLY AWAY were, to
my mind, conceptually different from the series they'd done previously.

That said, I enjoyed the premiere very much.  The dialog is good to
excellent (particularly in the humorous dialogue dept.), and the characters
show potential, as does the concept.  As I mentioned, Dotrice is hilarious
as the blustering med school founder (I wish I'd videotaped this for some of
his lines); and I liked a number of the new students.  (One wonders if Jack
of St. E. will pop up as a visiting prof.)

Major in-joke: Eric Launeville (sp?) has a bit role in one of the opening
classroom scenes.  (Launeville played Luther in ST. ELSEWHERE, and directed
a large number of the later episodes.)  Nice to see him there in any state.

Summary:  Looks watchable for at least a couple weeks; we'll see what the
writers come up with.  Think, on odds, that the show might quickly evolve
into a ST. E. style (latter years), with a sort of island NEXP humor dotted
throughout (and maybe even predominate -- it depends on the ratio of
melodrama to humor.)  Worth a look.

PS  I like the credits.

                           "Once the number three, being the third number, be
                            reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade
                            of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in
                            my sight, shall snuff it."
