NBC used to show Quantum Leap every Tuesday at 8pm.  But this week
they showed Three Men and a Baby instead.  Did NBC move the show to
another time (when???) or cancel it?  Thanks.

Well, I seem to remember a couple credit card comercials where women
buy men dinner or take them on tripsi, but 99% of the time you're right.

6. Women always beat men in sports.

  6a. In softball, the gorgeous babe will hit a homerun.  The other
      gorgeous babe/pitcher will strike out the beer-guzzling guy.

  6b. The woman will always win in tennis.  The ball will often
      hit the man in the head.

  6c. In basketball, the woman winks at the defender, then drives
      past him and dunks the ball.

  6d. Bowling: Diane Chambers won the trophy for "Cheers" and
      Peggy Bundy bowled a perfect game.

Yes, either 3 or 4 episodes of the original run were videotaped. 
It was done as a cost-cutting measure to keep the series under its
budget for that particular season. What you're seeing on teevee now
are "kinescopes" of the original tapes, that is, the tapes were preserved
by pointing a camera at a monitor and filming them. Back in the olden
days (late 50s, early 60s), videotape was a young technology and 
was very expensive so tape was recycled and used again instead of being
used once and then stored.  (Still, it was less $$ to shoot on tape
than to make a mini-movie on film).
Visit any good bookstore and pick up "The Twilight Zone Companion"
if you enjoy the series, it's an invaluable guidebook, and can fill
you in on all the details of these few taped episodes.

By the way, here's a trivia question that all good Zone fans can
answer: one episode of the Zone was purchased by Rod Serling and
ran only once as an original episode - it was actually an award
winning French short film.  What was the title of this episode
and who was the author of the original short story on which it
was based?

My cable company just started carrying Comedy Channel and Sci-Fi.
However, neither the TV Guide nor the TV section of the local paper
give listings for these channels.

Does anyone out there have a general schedule for these channels?  
Or just a schedule for a few wanted shows--MST3K, Ernie Kovaks, Whose
Line is it Anyway, SNL (do they show the episodes in any order?) on
Comedy and Dark Shadows and Dr. Who on SF?

I know it's a lot to ask, but thanks.

But Al *didn't* save the day in "The Leap Back".  Sam had to leap in and save
Al's and Suzanne's lives, so I wouldn't count it in with Al's saves.  That's
one of the reason's I liked "Killin' Time" so much, because it was Al's actions
that really saved the day.  Kind of a redemption, IMO.

I'd count "The Leap Back II" because the decision for what Sam should have done
was all Al's.  We're never told what Sam was actually there to do, but if it
was to save Tom, Sam would never have been able to do that without Al's help.

Ahem... I fear you have been isolated from civilization (i.e., TV :-) for the
past couple months... I point you to the Sports Illustrated commercials,
which are totally devoted to pushing women to buy Sports Illustrated
subscriptions (& videos) for men, since "they never tell you what they
want"... (Yuck! :-)

In these the woman is shown as having bought the subscription for the
guy, and giving him the video on Christmas. This ignores the fact that 
it takes them many weeks to get the first issue and any premiums, like videos,
to the customer. So in real life, on Christmas you can only give a
card saying you got this for them...

[I think this leadtime is why these commercials seem to have mercifully
disappeared a few weeks ago...]

(Or are you eliminating this category because it doesn't actually show the
woman *shopping* in a store for a man's gift?)

The implied threat was very clear.  It was also not directed at
the officer, since a three year old warrant would be of no value.
Although the judge was speaking to her, it was clear that a message
was being sent back to West VA.

I'm not even sure this "strains the limit of credulity". Judges have
tremendous leeway in their courts.  A sidenote that may illustrate -
I was always a fan of "Night Court" but found it unlikely that Dan
Fielding would fawn over the judge so much.  Why all that sucking up?
After all they were both public officials and the prosecutor was not
dependent on the judge for his pay.  Then I read a small article in
the New York Times (they have a periodic "legal" column) which talked
about how suddenly, when you become a judge, your clothes are smarter,
your decisions are brilliant, your jokes are funnier, even your ties
are hipper.  Apparently the sucking up part was taken from life.

In Alaska, where they apparently have ONE judge for the whole region
and you can't just switch courtrooms to fish for a verdict, the
judge is practically God! Short of going to the State Supreme court,
or the Governor, to enforce a years old extradition order against
a small town DJ - they would have to deal with her.  I think they'd
be glad to drop the whole matter.

How many times has a leap been made sucessful because of Al's DIRECT
intervention, meaning Al having direct contact of some kind. I can
think of a few Besides this one (Al yelling for her to stop):

Shock Theater (Al teaching the guy the alphabet)
A Little Miracle (The Christmas Ghost)
A Leap for Lisa (Leaping 'Bingo' back before the death occured)
Killing Time (Al's getting the Leapee to return to the project)

That's 5. Any others?

Dark Shadows cut to hell?  How do you know this?

The SF channel is currently showing the pre-Barnabas era of this show.
And due to the limited times this series has aired, I've never seen the
aforementioned episodes.
The videos that were released about two years ago start with the release
of Barnabas out of the coffin. So the airing of these "lost" episodes
is quite rare..

Now, unless you've seen these shows on a PBS station (which are usually with
out commercial interruption) or you have a wonderful memory of the show as
it aired on ABC in 1966, how do you know what is chopped out of the
original series?
