Coombaroomba!  Orange Blossom!  Cat languadge!

The Robert Vaughn ep was Abnormal Psyche,  and RV was known only as
'The Man'. I can print out an entire episode list if anyone is interested.

I can't remember all of the writers for these, so bear with me.  I'll 
get around to something more detailed later...

Pilot
w.Stephen J. Cannell

Ancient Eyes
Helps migrant workers.
Sometimes You Gotta Sing the Blues
Helps police chief get cleared of murder of wife.
Less Than the Eye Can See
mutated smallpox virus kills entire town.  Ray investigates.
Ether
Helps doctor get cleared of murder
Abnormal Psyche
Meets old enemy and investigates suicides on college campus as student.
Terrible Swift Sword
Serial killer murdering prostitutes
Orange Blossom
Gets himself thrown in insane asylum to investigate gov't interrogation
of unwilling victims
The Greeter
Town under control -- ex Viet Nam vet homeless man who needs to find a
way to make his life whole again.
Gemini
Old friend turned nemesis; Eddie Benton.  Framing Ray for murder using
Ray's MO.
Playback
Isolation exercise turns nasty.
Bring Me the Hand That Hit Me
Organized crime--helping sister make her brother see the light and get
out of the mob.
Echoes
Artist stalked by obsessed man.
The First Time is Forever
Refuses to help reporter with favor.  Reporter killed, and Ray has to face
his guilt and his past--his first kill.
Autumn
Arsenic and Old Lace....with a twist.
The Neniwa
Land developers excavating old Indian sacred ground.
The Second Finest Man Who Ever Lived
Past client is murdered, and Ray goes to investigate.
Night Maneuvers
Clearing cadets reputation at a military academy--assasination squad.
Cry Wolf
Crazy actor, general mayhem, and a lot of fun.  
Blood Money
Anytime, Anywhere
Ray goes to Nam to retrieve statue to use as payment for MIA locations, is
blinded, and has to find client and statue before he can get out.
The Caper
On April Fools day nothing goes right in this comedy of errors.  Neat
twist in this one, and I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before
or again.
One Way Ticket to the End of the Line
Called in by past client, Ray has to find him after he disappears.
Crop duster spraying acid on pot fields.

I know these are paraphrased, but I'll try to dig out some kind of
episode list and do this right.

  I remember reading in the TV Guide last fall that they had 65 episodes done
at that point.  So even if they haven't made any new ones, there are still
19 or so that we haven't seen yet.

Rassenfrassenfudgenfoobers.... I don't want to wait that long!  This is my
second turn around (I started watching last time around at "Jimmy" but wasn't
hooked for a few episodes, then missed a handful anyway) and it's going to be a
while before they get back around.  I'll never catch up!

When will USA start adding the fifth season to their cycle?  Last time around,
I think they stopped just before A Leap for Lisa, which is the fourth season's
end show, isn't it?  I expected them to get through Lisa before going back to
the beginning, but they didn't.  Or maybe I missed it somehow...

Word is that tonight will be Lisa McRee's last night on World News Now.  She

From: Young Indy <EMW107@psuvm.psu.edu>
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1993 22:18:55 EST
Organization: Penn State University

    I watched 'Reasonable Doubts' for about the 6th time or so tonight (even
though there were two on tonight) and I paid attention to the opening credits
and saw that Marlee Matlin had her hair 'semi-curly' in some of the intro
shots (which in my opinion definately adds to her attractiveness). I also
noticed that her hair was darker. Now like I said, I have seen the show before
but only the last time did I notice this.
   My question is this: Is this supposed to be her hair style for the upcoming
season? I personally like it versus her straight hair. I know, this may be
highly trivial, oh well.
   Also, I heard that the show was supposed to be on some sort of hiatus
during the month of February. Is this a fact or just a vicous rumor? It has
become one of my favorite shows in the short time that I have seen it, and
would hate to see it go. Questions, comments, answers?

Well, the writers could've changed it so it was no longer a
two-parter, but the tv listings for the 4th said "Trivial Pursuit
(part 1)" while those for the 11th said "Trivial Pursuit (part 2)".
Naturally, with the shows setting, I didn't expect them to show part 2
this week since they would try to be topical.

The problem with cutting it to a standalone is we never find out
whether the columns at Monticello are Ionic or Doric.  Yes, I know I
can look it up myself  :-)

Perhaps, next week.

The dog was never named; it was addressed simply as "Dog" or "Boy" and
referred to as "the dog."

The canine who played him was named Higgins, and I heard that he later was
the first dog to play Benji (his daughter succeeded him at his death).

     As far as I know, your girlfriend is correct.  I think that she is a
brunette.  In the first couple episodes of _Civil Wars_ last season she was a
brunette and then around the 3rd or 4th episdoe she became a blond.

That's *exactly* why it's going on hiatus -- it's getting lousy
ratings, which would drag down the network average. They're leaning
heavily on movies and specials to artifically enhance their ratings
next month.

This won't do much good -- they ALREADY want the show to go on, and they

	"The Actor" was Bobby.  For once he tries to help someone out 
and it backfires in his face.  Definitely one of the best television 
comedy scenes of all time.  Just when you think it can't go any further,
it does!  BTW, Marilu Henner claims that if you look close enough, you can
see her stabbing herself in the hand with a pencil in an attempt to keep
from laughing.

My favorite is the eulogy over the turkey that Alex shot when they
were holed up in a cabin.  To wit,

Lord,

We know this bird was
One of your miracles.
No easier to create
Than a billion stars, or a single grain of sand.
It was a truly magnificent creature, your honor.
And, iii-if we hadn't gotten so hungry,
  your faithul servant Alex, here, would never have snuck up on it,
And blown its brains out.
But we grieve that one of your creatures
Should have been sacrificed.
Though he could not think, he could feel.
And now, he will never again
   walk your good earth;
   smell the sweet air;
   experience the glory of flying in your heavens.
Taken from him is the precious gift of life!
One small, innocent being
Lies here lifeless.
And we are diminished.

I don't know about straight vs. curly, but I wish she would dye it black
or brown or whatever her natural color is. She just doesn't have the
right skin tone for red hair.

That's because it wasn't Lloyd Dobyns that people tuned in to see: it was
Linda Ellerbee.  To be honest, I don't even remember Dobens being replaced.
For me at least, Aaron is the bigger attraction at WNN.  I'm glad that
he's the one staying -- although he might not be.  :-)

Anyway, I watched Lisa McRee's final show last night.  At the end, they put
her at the end of the names in every category in the credits.

Maybe they made this episode, and then decided they wanted something
