Of course not. A great jawline, interesting eyes (and eyebrows) and a 
certain type of voice, are the best. (Cultured English and certain American 
accents, but the odd French). Admittedly, if the body is a few pipecleaners 
strung together, I'm likely not to go for it, but I've always found of a lot 
of the extreme ""bubble-body" muscle men a complete turn-off. The voice, 
every time, though.

How many saw Daniel Day Lewis when he accepted the Oscar for "My Left Foot"?
Wow! But then, don't take my tastes as gospel. I still really like the guy 
who played Max Headroom and the lead in "Doctor Doctor!"

hello, I'm looking for info on Jessica Steen, currently on ABC's
Homefront, the only network show I watch besides QL.  I saw her first
on the kids sf Captain Power, and always wanted to know why she left 
that programme, but have never seen any interviews conducted with her,
even since she's joined Homefront.  In case you're confused as to who she is,
she plays Linda Mettcaf (sp?), and currently has no storyline (she's the
one who Mike Sloane was engaged to before he left her for Gina, who
started the Union with Al and Charlie, etc.).

She was alos in teh silly b-movie from about 5 years ago called "Sing",
ans she did a tv movie that must have been a pilot for a series that
never materialised called "The Great Pretender", and she did an
episode of Night Heat a looooooooong time ago.



thanks in advance folks.

I'd read that the network held his feet to the fire vis-a-vis his
contract.  Stupid, venal & senseless, considering the show was at the end of
its run anyway, almost.

Anyone:

What is the title of the Remington Steele episode that 
Tom Baker (of Dr. Who fame) had a guest shot in?
I caught the tail end of what looked like an embarrasingly bad 
performance when the original aired, but I'd still like to see the
whole thing, which should tell you something right there.
I intend some day to see the complete video library of Baker stuff,
including that pre-Who movie in which he plays a giant carrot...

Mike Myers was on Late Night last week, and was explaining that the

You tell me.  The movie was definitely set in N.Y., N.Y.

I've lived in Mass since my teens and I totally agree with Brad that
Glenn and Phil sounded like total Maineiacs. Kevin Nealon as host
was quite weak with his unrecognizable accent.

Adam "Opera Man" Sandler,who I think and always thought is the most

I rather like the show.  I was quite worried early in the series that they were
going to be repetative.  Wally has a problem with Jack and Mary-Margeret tells 
Wally what to do, and the garbage guy and Ike tells Jack what to do.  Still 
happens, but happens much less.

This show has the potential to be a good group comedy, like Murphy or Barney
Miller.  Characters need to be fleshed out and used more though, and while
the trials and tributations of the relationship are a good start for the show,
they can not remain the main direction of the show.

I particularly enjoyed the Xmas/Chanukah show.  Generally, I find that this
sort of episode is overwritten so as to offend no one.  The non-resolution of
their problems made the episode very real.  But still funny.
