Well, actually, I thinkg it fits very well.  She's been so preoccupied
with it all along that this "milestone" is really no big deal.  I
thought it was funny that it was Fleischman that had the midlife
crisis.

Hmmm...  I thought it was consistant with his character.  Ruth Ann's
reaction was perfect.

I liked Chris in this episode more than in any of last season's episodes.
He's back to what I liked.  He's no longer the narrator of the story.
He's actually believable as a small-town quirky DJ.

No, the medical exam for a pilot's license is biannual, as is the
recertification, and Joel would have to be an FAA certified doctor
to give the exam.  But maybe he is...  It's a rigorous physical
exam that's changed a lot in just the past couple of years-- in other
words, the FAA is cracking down.

Gordon (hubby) just had one last year-- he was amazed that the doctor
mumbled something at him, and it actually turned out to be part of the
exam-- a hearing test.  He said it was totally different from previous
FAA exams, which tended to check for heartbeat and breathing.

Maybe this is the part of NX when we should just say-- "IT'S ONLY TV!".

Judging by last night's (this morning's) episode, it's going to take
you even longer than that. The last of the "daily" episodes was "Here's
a perilous research project" from Season Four. Last night they showed
"Here's the groovy piano bar episode" from Season Three. So, contrary
to what you and I obviously expected, they don't seem to be continuing
from where they left off.

Did anyone see last week's Sunday-morning showing? If it was "Here's
why you order from the Spanish side of the menu," then they're going 
in order and have just backed up a bit. If it was something else, then
they seem to be skipping around randomly.

	Seems like the majority of the people don't have the Sci-Fi channel, I
wonder if anyone got the cartoon channel yet.  It was sort of promised here
and there was an available channel but it was put on hold because of the many
request for the Sci-Fi channel, but I did call TCI and the lady said it was
more likely to get the cartoon network instead of Sci-Fi.

I've just been hooked on the QL reruns, and I never watched it regularly
before last season, but I noticed something amiss in the first episode after
the series premiere (sorry, can't name it, don't have an episode guide).
The boyfriend of the girl who is infatuated with the professor Sam leapt
into pays Sam a visit and without preamble socks Sam in the face.  Sam gets
up and casually backhands the boyfriend.  Suddenly both fighters are
breathing heavily, as if they had been fighting for five minutes instead of
having just exchanged one punch apiece!  What gives?

I'm not sure what I would think with someone "different".  It would seem
that most kid-actors of that age would be about the same, but who knows.
I also don't see a NEED for it.  That combined with it being such a tired
old idea makes it hard for me to find it "good".  We'll see though...

Having QL on so many times a week, then twice on Tuesday is really

all I can do is think of him leaping into "Jimmy", the USA leap out.
Help me please. I can't for the life of me remember his leap last night.
Can someone describe the leap out to the next one for me, without any

The thing that's really annoying me is that KXAN here in Austin likes to
take an EXTRA five seconds at the BEGINNING of each show to promote
Oprah or their newscast. Maybe on most shows it doesnt matter, but it
really screws up the beginning of Seinfeld, because we never get to hear
the first of Seinfeld's joke! They also don't show all the the opening
for Quantum Leap, but that's the same every week.

Sheesh, I guess it's about time to write and complain to them. The last
time I wrote them, it didn't help. I was upset because they put on a
local show (Tom Penders' Basketball) on instead of the network's Ed
Grimley cartoon (I hope it's on the Cartoon Network, even though we're
not going to get it or the Sci-Fi channel).

I hear there's a new cable channel called The Nostalgia channel. pretty
weird. We already have AMC and TNT... maybe they'll show Father Knows

One of the reasons I was so annoyed to see QL moved to an early time slot
was because I figured they would have to make it appropriate for kids.  In
a way I'm glad to see they aren't worrying about it.  QL is not a kids show
and never has been.

Overall I was very disaapointed with the premier.  I thought all the hopping
around was inapproriate, and very much interfered with any sort of story.  We
have no idea WHY it was necessary for Sam to leap around like that... all he
needed to do was leap into LHO long enough to know who he was, then directly
to the Secret Service Agent.  No need to go to Russia or Japan or spend two
hours explaining how it WASN'T a conspiracy...

I don't know of any other TV series he's been in, but he has done a number
of films.  The first I know of was _The Lion in Winter_ in which he plays
the French prince, Phillippe, who is Richard (the Lion Heart's) lover.  A
superb film!  Other than that, he was James Bond in two films, Prince Barin
in _Flash Gordon_, and also played a insane asylum inmate in a quiet little
film that I can't recall the name of.  Anyone else know?
