Does anyone know how old Sam is supposed to be?

My calculations are as follows:


        Sam is 16    (Per Leap Home episode) in 1969
					       -  16
                                                ----
        Sam was born in                         1953

        Present time (Per Leap Back episode)    1999
        Birth Year                            - 1953
                                                ----
						  47 years old


I don't know about you - but he doesn't look 47 to me!

Does anyone know how old AL is supposed to be?  I didn't dig up any numbers
on him.  They mentioned he was born June 15, but they didn't say what year
in the Leap Back episode.

Anyone have more info?

If that's the case, then something is wrong.  They aired One Stroube
over the Line tonight (1/23) when it's scheduled for 1/26.

So, were The Leap Home I & II already aired and I missed them?
According to the schedule, Leap Home II should have been tonight.

For those who are interested, the latest issue of _Film Threat_ magazine
has a nice long article on the rise and fall of the Sid & Marty Krofft
empire, along with descriptions of everything they ever got on the air.

I'm not sure of the issue date, but it's the one with Madonna on the
cover.  I know that as of today, this issue hasn't hit all the newsstands
yet, at least not in NYC.

This season, I think.  Don't know who the woman is.  Love the

Anybody know what they did that on?  Many of the curved

  Does anyone know the name of the song (and group that wrote it) used in the 
Listerine commercial with the blue bottle swinging through the jungle? I seem 
to remember it from the early 80s (?) but that's about as far as I can get. 
The tune has been going through my head constantly for the last few weeks.

No, as far as I know, Tuesday's episode was a repeat. Although 
Monday's episode was a new one, called "Harley & Ivy" It was good
I thought. That is the only new show this week (including this
past Sunday).

Also, tonight I heard either in the closing theme of another show
or from a comercial that this Sunday's episode WILL BE A NEW ONE!

I'm looking forward to it, and if anybody is interested, I will 
repost my episode list (not guide yet at least) with Sunday's show
included. I think that it will make 46 so far (don't hold me to that
) .

She was introduced at the political rally as (just guessing at spelling here)
Mamie Nakumbuli.

As to the actress's name, information on regular performers and their
characters is rather incomplete in what I've seen.  Our evil local Fox
affiliate, WFLD, always shrinks the credits of the last program of the
evening before local news because they're positive that viewers are more
interested in a talking head and a WFLD logo than in the credits of what
we've just taken the trouble to watch.  If the role was credited there,
I couldn't read it, even in freeze-frame.

However, one of the regulars whose role I have not seen specified in print is
Nita Whitaker (in the fall preview, _TV_Guide_ called her "'nita Whitaker"
with a lower-case n).  She might be the one; that's just a wild guess.

Recently, USA Network has been showing reruns of this show.  I used to

something.  Kotter is missing.  His wife is still around.  Vinnie has
his own place.  I don't remember these shows!  Was this a "last season" deal
where Kaplan took a hike and they tried to carry on?  What DID happen
to Gabe Kaplan?  Was there a "contract dispute" (kind of hard...his show)
and he walked, or did he decide the show would do fine without Kotter, and
stayed behind the scenes?  Or did he just get sick for a few week's worth
of taping?

Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1993 20:43:09 GMT

Does anyone know a reason for this recent development?

Fox's promotional spots for the January 14 "Down the Shore" were on tape
instead of film; that caught me a bit by surprise because the series is
broadcast from film (on film?).  Surely enough, the actual episode was on
film.  They weren't switching media (as "9 to 5" did).

Then CBS's spots for the January 18 "Hearts Afire" were on tape, but the
actual episode was, like all its predecessors and all other current Blood-
worth-Thomason efforts, on film.  [Yes, I remember that "Filthy Rich" was
on tape.]

Again, the January 21 "Down the Shore" was promoted on tape and broadcast on
film.  Tonight as I watch CBS's sitcom lineup I'll keep my eye peeled for
spots for the next "Hearts Afire" (if it isn't to be preempted January 25).

Now it's common on "Doogie Howser, M.D." to have segments of tape spliced
into the film: Vinnie's camcordings, for example, and Doogie's game show
fantasies before his first solo surgery earlier this season (not his game
show appearance in the first season, though).  But those made sense in the
context: Vinnie is taping, not filming, and if Doogie is going to fantasize
that his trauma surgery career is a game show, he's going to picture it
looking like a game show.

But I've never before seen a program recorded on one medium but promoted with
commercials recorded on the other, and suddenly two series are doing it, two
series on different networks from different producers.

Does anyone know what gives?

Well once, he played a guy named Winston who was *RICH* and wanted to marry
Cindy (Chrissy's cousin who was on after S Sommers squabble about her salary)
and he was also on several times with Terry. Once he played Dr Tom Miller,
who was a psychiatrist, and came home with Terry for a date, and Jack and
Janet thought he was from the Looney bin (a very funny episode)

I think Amanda Wyss is currently on "Highlander: The Series" as a recurring
character, a nosy reporter a la Lois Lane, but without the girlfriend angle.

If you ask me, Riche would deserve her.

She was also in a QL episode, "The Leap Back". and she played a vampire
in "Son of Darkness: To Die for II", with Michael Pread (of Robin of Sherwood)
as the main vampire in that sequel (neither he nor she were in the original
I believe).

That help?

So did anyone catch the _Jackie Thomas Show_ this week?  The writers had one night to rewrite Jackie's show and someone suggested "they get locked in the meat locker".  They settled on "they hide in the basement when a storm comes through".

Surely there are others...

Yeah:  "Television's Greatest Hits", I forget the Volume, but I'm sure it's

Nope.  Robert Hays was in ABC's Starman.  It was
indeed our Mr. Bakula in that Disney pilot (the series never
materialised, but it makes Scott wonder if he's just bent towards
Science fantasy, or if it's just all syncronicity).

Anyone out there have a copy of this for them what haven't seen it
since it first aired, and would kill (okay, maim.) to see it now?
