This was mentioned on the alt.tv.dinosaurs group, but since my question
is not so much about "Dinosaurs" as it is about the motivation of the 
network people in making the poor decision they did, I ask it here
instead:

When the re-run of the Ross Perot half-hour campaign commercial was
scheduled to run in the Camp Wilder time slot, *after* a previously-
announced and listed-in-TV-Guide new episode of Dinosaurs, the
network removed Dinosaurs and replaced it with the Camp Wilder
episode which would have been bumped.

So all of us who watch Dinosaurs are mad about this... Smoo!

So my question is "Why?". What was the motivation behind this
apparently-bizarre rescheduling? 

(What does stuff like this do to VCR+ codes, by the way?)

Did Scott Bakula ever appear on Designing Women? I was fliiping through

thought I saw him, and somehow I got the feeling that he was Mary Jo's
ex husband.

Oh and while I'm on DW again, I'd just like to say I'm glad they got rid

I'm amazed by all the comments about this.  My take on it is that
it's not an inconsistency, it's a *change*.  Who's to say that
the imaging program or hologram program or whatever wasn't updated
and improved?  Sure, Al saw Sam as Gloria, but that leap was
three years before this last leap.  Ziggy and/or Gooshie realize
it's a problem for Al, fix the program, release version 1.5 or
whatever, and voila, Al sees Sam as Sam.

How many of you work with computers and don't see programs
change and improve over the course of three years?

Don't forget, we (and thus, I presume, Al since it's his POV)
saw Al's younger self (in A Leap for Lisa) and LHO as the leapees.
We didn't see Sam 'til the leapee looked in a mirror.

Since when are New York show crowds pro-Catholic mobs?  Since
when is New York a significantly Catholic city?  Most of the
Irish and Italian communities moved out to Long Island decades
ago.  NYC is a Jewish, black, and Hispanic city, and since the
local Catholic hierarchy is still tighly controlled by
non-Hispanics, New York's Hispanic community tends to ignore
what people like Cardinal O'Connor say.  The tabloids will
scream about anything.  The people who really live in the city
could give a damn less about anything that offends Catholics.

Well, the actor who played Eddie (name escapes me) is on the new network
show (on CBS, maybe? Wednesdays at 8pm) called "The Hat Squad".  I
watched the first 5 minutes of it and never went back.  That's probably
why he's gone. 

Can't speculate on the others -- the kid that plays Mitch's son is still
there (but then, they replaced him last year...), as is RIchard Jaeckal's
character, but I guess they needed some new faces (or bodies, as it 
were...).

 I felt it disconcerting also, to have these intersting and strong characters,
even the nut with the scar, to have been introduced and 'dispatched' so
quickly... no 'development'  every  character but Indy, and perhaps DeGaulle,
was glossed over.. there was no "Identifying" with any one but INDY.. not
especially good Drama.. personally I find Flannery, BARELY acceptable..
A 'LOOK" and thats all.. his acting is for crap, but withing the Large
framework Lucas has developed for him, it 'works' barely... Like FORD 
himself once said" I don't want to be a STAR, I want to be in pictures
that are "Stars" ... the production values of this tv, more than equal that
and Flannery 'rides' on that, but I haven't seen much else.. it needs to
allow further development of characters, in my opinion.. bring back
Margaret Tyzak, Indy's Teacher.... she had charisma..

Do you see it on 61 using your TV or VCR tuner, or is it 61 on their box?
Numbers up that high are subject to redefinition.  Check the guide with your
TV or VCR to see exactly how the numbers are assigned.  My TV doesn't go that
high.  My VCR goes to 125 (for cable).  With a split around 95 to tune in
A-5 through A-1 (99).  If you remember a previous posting, someone talked
about channels 98 and 99.  In the case of the VCRs that I have, like I
mentioned, 98 and 99 map to A-2 and A-1 (no I didn't know that was the case for
my VCR until a few minutes ago).

Now, if it is cable company supplied equipment that is tuning 61, then the
odds are it is a re-mapped channel.  If it is your equipment, double-check
your manuals.  But, in this case, if 61 really is 61, then the only excuse
the cable company has is that they probably don't have the funds to add the
other channels to the head end.  It is expensive to add channels.  It is
definately less expensive if the cable wiring doesn't have to change.

homosexual interracial relationships. They are both on the net [Jason is my
roomate; <anderj2@rpi.edu> and Derrick is at vassar <romickle@vassar.edu>]
and will probably post an account of their exploits with national tabloid 
television sometime later this week.

The show is focussing on racism in the homosexual community directed at 
inter-racial couples. It's not clear if Derrick and Jason will be on the stage
or just featured in the audience.

Just wanted to let people know that this episode was coming so that they could
set their vcr's! Note that Donahue comes on at different times in different
areas and markets, so check your TV Guide

Oh, and before you ask, yes, Dean and I also talked to the producers. In fact,
the whole thing started with Dean and I going to a Black and White Men Together
meeting in LA over the summer and finding out about DONAHUE's plans to do the
show and then passing the info along to Derrick and Jason. The Executive
Producer didn't invite us because Dean and I haven't experienced blatant racism
[or homophobia, for that matter, really] though I insist that we would have 
been more telegenic! :-) :-)

This is the first reference to the book I have seen on the net. Is is a
good read?

My reaction to the show was influenced by the fact that in summer of '91 I
was in Fairbanks on June 21.  Rob Morrow did a great job.  I kept looking
for similarities of what it was *really* like.  Sadly even TV cannot give
us that.  My pictures were even worse.  I was there for 10 days and never
saw what could be called dusk.  It was surreal and wonderful.  I did 
experience mild mania.  Each day I was awake longer, felt energized, and
eventally dragged my 25 yr old daughter around behind me.....after all
she knew her way around.  Poor kid.  Whenever I think back to that visit,
all I can remember is that the feeling is euphoric and you can't get
enough.  Maurice was right....if they could only bottle it.

I thought Joel would start to bug me - he already is high strung - but Rob
did such a great job of sustaining a natural high rather than giving us
a bad case of hyperactivity.  For some reason I liked Joel better that I
have in a while.  His polite requests for sex and easy reaction to Maggie's
refusals that were interjected into his stream of conversation just cracked
me up.

I agree that it was a..ah...different episode.  I think Joel's reaction
to the sun and his interest in the community slightly overwhelmed the sub-
plots.  It is time for him to become a part of Cicely on some level or else
make us a calendar, hang it in his office, and start crossing off the days.

I was worried when the alt. group was formed but am so pleased with what I
am reading from the posters.  Please keep it up.
