I've seen three Dame Edna specials on NBC myself.  On her first special 
Larry Hagman(?) and Mel Gibson appeared (Dame Edna wouldn't let Mel 
into her house).  Other guests (I can't remember if they were on
the first special or second) included Cher and Bea Arthur (Bea groomed
Madge for Edna).  Burgess Meredith also made an appearance as her
temporary butler. 

From my understanding, Dame Edna also had a recent X-mas special which
appeared on PBS.  Unfortunately, I missed it.

So there I was one night at 2:30 a.m. clicking through my

I think it is called Hot Wax and it is on, I think (2:30 A.M. is a difficult
time of the day for me) A&E.  It is about this lady talk show host, she
is American, and it is in England.  She has red hair......


It was so funny.

Well, even if you had WSBK, you'd still be missing out on the Celtics.
They're on WFXT, the local FOX affiliate, which they own.
WSBK shows half of the Bruins and Red Sox games, but I don't know

Yeah, you're missing episode 2.  This one takes place the day after the
events of the first episode occur.  Neil wants to have sex with Alicia;
she wants to wait a little longer.  A little longer translates into later
that night at Neil's house with his family (grandmother etc.) staying over
for the night.  To continue with the quotes:

(these are from memory)

(Ted enters the office where Neil's mother is serving chocolate cake to
 Neil and his father).
Ted:  Now what could this family be celebrating?  National Nepotism Day?

(Neil at Alicia's loft trying to convince Jordan and Megan that they actually
met him the night before)
Jordan:  Wait a minute!  Last night, at our party... you were with Alicia,
  she was all over you...
Neil: Right!
Jordan: You... looked out of place then too.

(Alicia at Neil's house in the middle of the night;;they're looking for a
 place to make love)
Neil (looking at the dining room table): Um... no, she'll know I moved the
 fruit bowl.
Alicia (moving toward living room): What about in here?
Neil: No, we never... well, technically you are company.

The only guest star was Neil's grandmother (whose name I don't have).

Holy smoke, Bob could be watching 2 hours of the Kids!!!  11PM-12
midnight on CBC, then 12:35-1:135 on CBS (if his affiliate carries

As an appendix, the CBS KITH are now the entire episodes that have

Yeah.  They seemed to be screwing around with the time slot a lot more
than was necessary, even last year.  It was as if until CBS picked up
the show, they didn't really want it to succeed.

They also seem to be taking more chances wrt to language and
situations this season.

It is still, IMHO, the funniest show on TV.  SNL never knows when to
end a sketch and ILC I find just plain unfunny.

Wasn't there talk many years ago of a VCR which could tell the
difference between programs and commercials?  I thought it had to do
with signal strength.  Or was it just a fantasy?

And while I'm babbling...
Aren't the first 25 lines of a TV frame used for non-video purposes
such as syncing,  audio, or data?  Last I heard affiliates don't have to
rebroadcast these lines, but could they use them for their own
purposes?  Perhaps the program ID could be implemented regionally
or even by a single [wealthy] station.  Still would require extra
hardware--something like VCR+ with a tuner.
