Watch out, Spoilers!



Well, after this last ep, I now have my first date confirmation and
resultant loss of all continuity with the movie.  It now appears that
the series takes place in the present as this ep opened with a sword
fight between Duncan and Rheinhart during a New Years' party.  There
was a big banner across the restaurant which read Happy New Years
1989, which is three years after Connor won The Prize.  To make
matters worse, this opening scene took place "a few years ago," the
last time Connor had tangled with Rheinhart.

So, where the hell did all these immortals come from and why did 
they killed not have to be killed off before Connor killed the Kargan
to win The Prize?  And what the hell does the opening speech mean
since the Gathering took place six years ago?

The reasons were the graphic nature of the ads themselves. The judge ruled
that the ads could not be shown when it was likely that "children" (the
definition of which I don't believe the judge ever told) would be watching.

My complaint is the exact inverse.  I can't get Sci-Fi here
and they have exclusives on most of the series they show. 
Tribune used to distribute Twilight Zone, Monsters, and
Tales From the Darkside to channels in syndication (as
well as showing them on their own WGN).  Apparently Sci-Fi
took the whole lot of them and I can't see them any more.

Are they even showing Twilight Zone on Sci-Fi?

Ditto for The Prisoner and some of those other shows.  They

not any more.  I'm pretty sure I'm right, and I know I'm

  I can't help adding a few more items of "folklore" surrounding the 
Ghoul/Ghoulardi...

  Remember the Purple Knif?  (Knif is fink spelled backwards).  This was 
his favorite discription of Dorothy Fuldheim (late cleveland news
commentator -- she was still going strong into her late 80's and 90's).
Ernie loved to hate her.  He had a large poster of her behind him on 
the set, and constantly was chanting (ala the wizard of oz) "Dorothy...
Dorothy..."

  Folklore says that Dorothy attempted to sue him for the purple knif
stuff but it was thrown out of court bacause knif isn't in the
dictionary...

  Folklore also has it that the show was terminated because he blew
up a live frog on camera.  I believe it (though I didn't see it).
He was constantly using firecrackers to blow up "froggy" (a rubber
frog) and model cars and airplanes.  He also was fond of making
waffles out of pankakes (using spiked golf shoes) that were fried
in motor oil.

  The guy was crazy.  Rumor (more folklore?) has it he became an
advisor to the Hoolihan and Big Chuck show (which, after hoolihan
left the area became the Big Chuck and Little John show, which is
still running late night friday on Channel 8).  I don't know
if that's true.  I also don't remember the relationship between
the Ghoul and the (later) ghoulardi.

  Ah, those old memories are fun!

I finally caught another episode of Highlander last night on cable
(WGN).  It was sad to see Marc Singer -my favorite Beastmaster and
Rebel leader- being reduced to playing a gravely voiced bad immortal.
Where did his battle axe come from? When was he born?  I wish they
had had more background on him.

As for Duncan and Tessa- wasn't this the first time she saw him
quicken (receive quickening?).  It was a good show.  I hurt for Duncan
as he just let himself fall off the cliff.  He still feels pain, I'm
sure.  The thought of what that must have felt like was enough for me.
Gee, I'm glad I'm not an immortal.  What a wimpy ex-immortal I would
make! (wimpy=dead)

So I check the tv guide for my area, and Highlander doesn't show up
on Saturday!

I ended up liking this episode and it peaked my interest.  It lured my into
wanting to see next week's episode.  I had one problem:  they used so many
names that I felt confused as to who was who during the first two segments.
Questions like, "Now who was the mother?" and "Was that that guy from ALF?"
But by the end of the episode the questions were answered and it ended on a
chase sceen of sorts.  Which was suspensful.  I did have a problem with Al not
having any information the whole time.  I was very convenient that there was
a flood and all town records were lost (even though south Louisiana does flood
a lot).  I think this added to the mystery, but it was very un-Al.

The way the immortals can be injured or apparently "killed" and then
revive has left a gaping hole in the plot for this series. There is
absolutely no reason for an immortal to risk his own existence in order
to have a sword fight with another immortal and gain the other's power.
All he has to do is be a sniper, put a bullet in the other immortal from
a distance and put the guy down for a few minutes, run over there, and
chop off the head while the victim is lying there recovering. No muss,
no fuss, no danger.

Until the writers create some reason for this not to work, the premises
on which every show involving a duel is based are worthless.

Does anybody know (if so, how? :-)  ) who sang the version of "Where or
When" that played at the end of the episode?  It was done especially for
the show, as the theme tune was woven into the accompaniment.  My guess
is that it was Joanna Gleason -- it sounds like her singing voice to me,
and she'd be a logical choice for a recording needed quickly as a
tribute to John Hancock.  (Especially as Jonathan Tunick, orchestrator
of Into the Woods for which she won her Tony, does Love and War's
music.)  But I'm not sure; is anyone else?

HAWAII
  Hawaii 5-O
  Magnum, PI
  Some middle seasons of Jake and the Fatman

I'm embarrassed not to have listed Miami Vice.  It was one of the shows
that started me thinking about this in the first place.

Any older series?  Thanks for all the good listings so far.

I must disagree.
The show was quite interesting and funny (if not a bit cheesy/corny at times)
and when Herman got a permanant love interest, who was quite obviously not the
right girl for him from the start, things started to drag.  The show was still
funny, but I didn't like the whole deal with her and him.  All they did was
have sex, which is fine if you are Herman  =)  but not for any development
of the show.  They just threw that in there to have some touching moments and
then the everpresent and corny breakup scene.

I hope the show will now move on and remain as funny w/o a love interest for
Herm.
But, he can still hook up every now and then, I guess. =)
Sorry, that's the 'Jay' in me talking...
