Can anyone clue me in about this Dame Edith or is it Edna

  By the way, Gordon, I did find out about Miss LuPone's leaving
LGO in next week's TV Guide. She'll be in Andrew Lloyd Webber's
London production of Sunset Boulevard.
  Now, one way for Libby to be written off is for her to join
some religious cult, like the Moonies or that one in Oregon with
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. That way, if Sunset B bombs, there'll be
a big multi-part episode where Corky & Co. lead the effort to
deprogram Libby (assuming Miss LuPone returns after such a bomb).
Becca, who would be in college (U. of Mich., I hope!), would feel
guilty about not being able to help out either her mom or Jesse,
who at the time would be in-and-out of the hospital due to AIDS.
Paige, by contrast, is unable to help due to her own problems,
especially those caused by the Crown Prince of Irresponsibility,
Michael Romanov. Drew feels violated and angry because he did not
expect this (he was like this when Becca did the nude portrait),
and Corky in his world of wonder asks Why? Amanda will try to
keep Corky from going nuts. Artie will find a temporary partner
for Paige while he attempts to infiltrate the religious cult in
question. And then there's Marty Coolidge (that's me) who tries
to learn the way to Becca's heart from Jesse through hospital
visits. This, of course, ticks Jesse off big time. Coup d'etat!

		I sure do remember them. I watched them every day, at
	about 6:00 AM, when I was a kid. I happened to see one of the
	episodes a few years ago; it was a lot better when I was young.
	The animation is pretty poor.

		Can't remember anyone else other than the Frog.

		As to the similarity to Batman: I *think* I read some
	years ago that Bob Kane - creator of Batman - also created Cou-
	rageous Cat and Minute Mouse. If true, that would seem to account
	for the similarity.

		A local video store has a tape or two of this series
	for rent... Maybe one of YOUR local stores would, too.

I started watching this on a lark just to see how awful it really was.
Well, it was 70's TV...it was 70's Aaron Spelling TV...it was 70's
Aaron Spelling Jiggle-TV (tm). The sexism was rampant, the plots
were preposterous...but...

It was nice, for a few hours it was like being 14 again. Seeing
Farrah jiggle around braless in her tight t-shirts really took me
back. (She gave me quite a boost in my awkward teenage years. I
had my requisite Farrah-in-the-red-swimsuit on my wall. My buddies
and I would relive the whole episode the next day at school. Was
there any other reason to watch the show?)

Not that Farrah was my favorite, personally I've always been a Sabrina
man myself.

>Memories of the 70s.

Yeah, the clothing was hideous!!

The first one I saw ("Target: Angel") had Tom Selleck playing Kelly's
boyfriend. The aforementioned "Angels in Chains" had Kim Basinger as
somebody's little sister.

>Anyone have a favorite episode? Or worst episode (all of them?).

I'd say "Angels in Chains" was right up there. It's the one where
the Angels go undercover in a woman's prison. It has the memorable
scene of warden Mary Woronov spraying the just-showered Angels with
disinfectant. ("Open your towel!" <SPRAY!>)

  One more thing: There is a scene where Becca and Jesse walk in
to the bookstore where the painting was displayed (somewhere in
the first half of the show) and Becca plays a "hot-and-cold" game
with him. He gets really "cold" so Becca points up to somewhere
high up on a wall. That's when they show the painting. The whole
thing. If it was just the face, then I suppose the imagination
would have been left to take charge. Yeah, they did have a couple
of shots of just the face, but that wasn't all.

Protoculture Addicts has, if indirectly.  They've mentioned contributors'
net addresses, I think.  If I may be allowed to toot my own horn for a

from the online community, and the third issue in particular makes several

It's funny how anime can sneak up on you and engage your feeling in ways
unanticipated....  I started watching anime about 6 months ago at the
bi-weekly showings at the Univ. of Texas, and I'm surprised how involved
I can get in the story- depending on which anime series it is, of course.
 The two series that grabbed me right off were Maison Ikkoku and Video
Girl Ai, and I found I really cared what happened to the characters and
hoped that things would work out for them in the long haul.  There is a
lot of real life in these stories.....

Once I got started with anime, I wondered what the manga were like, so I
started collecting the Video Girl Ai manga, which turned out to be a good
choice, because the quality of the artwork is very good, and the story
has a lot more depth.  It also got me to start learning Japanese (since I
hate feeling like an illiterate), which is something I never thought I'd
have the time and energy to do.  I guess this comes under the heading of
"how anime and manga changed my life",  but it doesn't really matter
which road you take to enlightenment, as long as you get there.  

I think I've rambled off the thread topic, but I think it's interesting
how hard it is to convey to people who don't know about anime (much less
manga) what a fascinating and moving art form it is..... 

Whoops!  Time to go practice that hiragana!

Ditto.  However Macek and company did the sound effects for Ro^jin Z, one of
the best and most original anime movies I've seen in a long time.  So not
everything they touch is crap (just a huge portion of it is :).  It's also
scary to think that they'll proabably get the right to the movie.  KUSO!!!!
