Several months ago I remember someone posting a question regarding
the character "Boner" from Growing Pains. However I was modemless
shortly after that and couldn't follow up.

What did happen to that character? I remember he went off to join
the army, but it seemed that there was more to it than that. Whats
the scoop?

(Boy, this is getting to be an FAQ)

It's a drama. A light action-adventure family kinda drama (the regular
timeslot will be Saturdays at 8).

It's set in the 14th century (that's the 1300's) and deals with the
adventures of widower Sir Thomas Gray and his teenage kids. It's being
filmed on location in England, and will be shown in the US on ABC and
in the UK on Thames. USA Today called it a medieval "Bonanza" and said
it was "inexplicable, but enjoyable". 2 of the writers from "Quantum
Leap" are across the pond working on it now; when I talked to one of
them about it just before he left LA, he was pretty excited about it.

It looks fun to me.

The premiere episode was actually a two parter.  Nick and his doctor friend
were already friends, and if they gave the history of how they met--I missed
it.  The pilot shows were very similar to the movie pilot that was originally
done starring Rick Springfield a few years ago (Springfield one is shown 
occassionally on other stations like the Lifetime network--I think it is
called Nick Knight, but I am not sure).  I think there are only about 6 episodes
other than the pilot pair of episodes.

I believe Nick has been a vampire for 800 years; he was formerly a knight who
was convinced by Natalie and Lacroix to accept the role
of a vampire after Lacroix bit him.  By the way, Nick killed Lacroix at the
end of the pilot.  In every episode, Nick reflects back to some related incident
from his past--I guess if you have lived 800 years, you are bound to relate
any present incident with something from your past.
I don't know if the Doctor is falling in love with Nick, but they do hint that
she might want more than a friendship occassionally--I hope they stick with
the friendship idea.  Stanky became Nick's partner in the pilot episodes, and
they seem to be getting closer in later episodes--although it didn't seem
like it in the last episode.

That is all I could add at the moment,
Laura

I found myself watching this show unintentionally while grumbling that
ABC joined "Home Improvement" in progress, which meant I got to see the

Oddly, I found myself laughing out loud at this show ("Dad, why do you

Maybe Jeanette's place does not have an indoor garage.  It is daylight out,
and after saving his life, maybe he felt that she shouldn't burn up on
the way to her place--of course, it sometimes looks like Nick's car is
parked outside at his place also.

Maybe he didn't think Natalie would be over, but I think it is more that
Nick isn't that protective yet.  Afterall, he did let Schanke go to the
vampire bar with him once.

I need a bit of help, and this group just might be the ones to
fill me in!  

I'm looking for catch phrases from TV shows of the 40's - 60's.
We've all heard 'Book 'em, Danno', 'One of these days, Alice, ONE
of these days - POW - right in the kisser', 'Just the facts,
Ma'am', - but geez, there's gotta be tons of others!

So that the list doesn't become flooded with one liners, mail
them to me, and I'll print the most 'popular' if anyone's
interested.

Thanks a lot

Robyn
