   How about, she gets _The Ring_, then she figures she is set and
just leaves. A lot of people would be saying 'I told you so.' and
I don't think it would be out of character. (Expanding a little) 
Edward had the ring made up with a cubic-Z because he doesn't trust
her. This would save the Q's name. Nikki & AJ lose and Edward wins.
Nothing fancy, but they could have a little fun with it. But, this
is too simple and clean, who knows what kind of inane plot the 
writers will come up with. I just thought of a better plot, on the
way to the funnymoon a drunk AJ has another accident. This time
Nikki dies, Never to come back again. Oh, I like it.

	Usaually when a show brings in a new little brat, the show is on it's
last leg.  I would say 95% of the time that show gets cancelled soon.  But the
addition of Seven (7) to the Married cast was ( for me) a stroke of genius.
I love "MWC", I have ever since it premiered (the last original Fox show 
left??!), but after last season I figured, *ugh* this show has nowhere else to
go.  The Bundy's constant put downs and take downs of each other were all that
was left.   The addition of seven, and _some_ personality for Kelly, seems to
have brightened this show up!  Yesterday's episode is a perfect example.  The
whole show was full of the usual Bundy put downs, but in the end because of 
Seven they all pulled together and showed some affection!

	The Kelly date episode ia a good example too.  Al _Wanting_ to sleep
with Peggy???  Bud defending Kelly's honor? Bizarre!  I think that MWC's
writers are trying hard to keep this show alive for a few more years.

P.S.  How many people think the Bundy's will make 10 years?

{examples of SNL downfall deleted}

Well, on the whole I would agree with this post, although I don't
feel that the past seasons have been hopelessly dismal. Bright spots
have appeared among the valleys, including several memorable skits.
My favorite of recent history involves "A Tribute fo Reginald
Adams", a celebrity-filled extravaganza given to gulf war
veteran Private Reginald Adams, including Charleton Heston
(Phil Hartman) reading a private letter about masturbation
written to Adams' girlfriend (or wife?). 

But these highlights are sadly few and far between. I agree
that the problem is not in the cast. In fact, in some ways
the current cast is better than the original 1970s cast.
Although not as many current players "stand out" in the
way Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, etc. did, in some ways the
new cast is a better ensemble. For instance, most of the 
current cast has good talent is doing impressions of
public figures and various foreign accents. Very few of 
the original cast were strong in this area (i.e. Bill Murray,
Chevy Chase, etc. although Dan Aykroyd was a good
impressionist). 

Maybe axing Lorne is the answer. I don't know. But changes
better happen fast, I agree. I had to see the talents
of Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, and the others 
wasted.

I missed the original, but caught the replay on the news today.
When I saw the clip, I thought that maybe there was something
more to it that they didn't include. I guess not. As a Catholic, 
I'm one of the first to admit that the church isn't perfect, but
this isn't dialogue: it's akin to painting a swastika on the

I don't know... Fox seems to be pretty kind to first-season shows,

at least.  Well, unless the quality drops a *lot* from the premiere,
anyway.

Not only not funny, but recycled.  We haven't seen a new Deep Thoughts since,
what, halfway through the previous season?  And none of the more recent ones
have been able to elicit even close to the same gut-wrenching laughter that
usually followed the older ones.

Speaking of which, I recall seeing in the newspaper a few months ago that a
collection of Jack Handey's "Deep Thoughts" was being released as a book.
Has anyone bought this book?  How much does it cost?  Is it worth it?

Comments regarding Melrose Place (09/30/92):

[1] Remember the shower scene with Alison ... Billy screamed something that
    Alison didn't really hear. Alison pushes aside the shower curtain to
    see if she could hear what Billy said. Did you notice the way she
    "covered" herself with the shower curtain, as if someone in a closed
    bathroom was going to see?

[2] I really had a good laugh when Alison covered herself and had that
    shocked look on her and said to Billy, "You were staring at my breasts."
    The reason for Alison's behaviour was just ludicrous ...

[3] I really liked the relationship between the female intern and Michael
    at the hospital. I just wished they could develop that storyline some
    more. It would make the Mancini couple more interesting ... I guess we
    are back to the "can never spend time together" problems.

[4] Why would Alison head directly to the laundry room after her shower?
    Strange.

[5] I just don't understand how Alison puts up with Billy. I thought that
    breaking into her room to get the stereo and tape would be the final
straw
    ... I guess if Billy and Alison actually got along, Melrose Place would
be
    pretty dull?

[6] I missed something. When Jane confronted Michael, Jane said, "Is that it?
    Is it?" I missed what "it" referred to ... it had something to do with
    abortion.

[7] Why would they give a dog to a manager of a place where no pets are
    allowed? It just doesn't make sense.

I haven't heard of any reasons other than the possibility that the
producers might have thought that the character had exhausted her
story possibilities.

I can't answer that, but I do know I have mixed feelings about this 
development.

I really did NOT like that character.  In the eariler episodes, she was a
total rag to Dick.  My first impression of her was that she was a snippy,
spoiled little brat who couldn't get her own way (Dicky wouldn't commit)
so she decided to get even with him by going out with his worst enemy
on the force.  

After she was attacked by Cromeyer, she got a bit more likeable to me
(not quite so demanding of Dick).  But then, she asks him to sleep
with her (and he does).  The next morning, he's getting ready for work
and she shakes her head when he tells her he has to, he's a cop. She
says something to the effect that "...and I was raped.  I grew out of
it". Same old crap out of her.

It was weird, 'cause I DIDN'T like her, but I felt terrible when she 
was shot (terrific acting on Everhard's part!) and died.  I won't miss 
her but I am sorry they had to kill her.

>Usually, when a regular gets killed off, there's something more going
>on.

Sometimes, but not always.  They killed off George Dzundza's character on 
Law & Order, but that was done because he wanted out.  Maybe she didn't 
want to do it any more.  Heh, maybe SHE didn't like the character. :-}

See!  That is what I am talking about!  Married... has been on for six years,
in ALL of that time hea has been broke.  Why not make him rich and see what 
happens?  The'd still be th Bundys right!  They could be just as crass, mean
snotty, and even _worse_ if they had money!  Whyis everyone so afraid of 
change?  So what if his being broke is the crux of the show, make being
rich the crux of the show.  Imagine the Bundys with money! imagine the things
they'd do and be!  That is a potentially (sp?) hilarious show right there.

You don't even have to make it permanent, do it for like 3 or 4 shows.
Then his loss of the money in some typical Al Bundy way can become a
running joke for the rest of the show's run.  If the audience likes it
you've bolstered the show if not it was there and gone.

I wish everyone would use their imagination!  Staying the same and safe
should, IMHO, not be what TV series are about.

   That's what I thought originally, but I just couldn't remember him being

T.E. tells Indy in the first 20 minutes of the first episode to please call
