Thought I'd share this --thought everyone could use a laugh.

To the tune of Gilligans Island

Just sit right back
And you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful Leap
That started in New Mexico
And into lives too deep--
Beckett was a scientist
His Observer brave and sure
More people than you'll ever name
Sam Beckett would endure.

The Leap it started getting rough
Sam started to whine and moan
If not for the nagging of his pal named Al,
His mission would crap out
His mission would crap out.
Someday the Leap will set on ground
And Sam will come back home..
To:
Ally Boy
And Gooshie, too.
The parbolic, hybrid computer (sang very fast!)
And it's link.
The wife and kids (shudder)
Tom and Katie, Mom and Bena
They're here on Quantum Leap!

I know, I know, but I'm driven.  

By what, I have no idea.

Well, I said I'd have the news for you as soon as I got it, so here it
is, hot off the fax from Universal Studios, an _official_ news
announcement that the fine folks at QL have authorized me to pass
along to you. Pass the word along to your friends; anyone who wants to
post this to other computer services should ask my permission first.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, Leapers. Yes, it's happening! The 2nd Annual "Quantum Leap"
Convention, in Los Angeles, on Sunday, February 14, Valentine's Day,
during the 3-day holiday of Presidents' Weekend.  We're trying for a
larger venue because we don't want to disappoint anyone, so we don't
have the details yet.  We're also trying to arrange for something
special on Saturday, February 13.

We know you're all supporting the show...but unfortunately it's not
reflected in the Nielsens.  We think it's time to let NBC know how we
feel about the time slot: we want the old one back!

It's time to write to: Warren Littlefield, President
                       NBC Television
                       3000 W. Alameda Ave.
                       Burbank, CA 91523

A letter or card with the words: LEAP US BACK TO WEDNESDAYS AT TEN,
signed with your name and address should do it.

For further convention news, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope
(address outer envelope: Quantum Leap Convention, Attn: Harriet,
Universal Studios, Universal City, CA 91608) and as soon as we have
the convention details, we'll mail you the info.

On behalf of our cast, staff, and crew: Thanks for taking the Leap!

More news as soon as I get it, stay tuned to this newsgroup for

Well, I'm going to set myself up for a lot of flames by saying this,
but here goes:

I'm kinda glad QL is being cancelled.

Now, don't get me wrong - I love the show.
Or maybe I should say _LOVED_ the show.

While the show is still entertaining, it is definitely showing
a distinct downhill slide. IMHO, the only really high-quality
episode this season has been the "Paraplegic Vet" episode, and
even that one paled by comparison to episodes like "The Leap
Home." And after travesties like "Oswald" and the disappointment
of "Deliver Us From Evil", my hopes are starting to fade.

I'd rather see the show end this season, with a two-hour
movie to wrap it up, then drag on and on after it should
have ended. 

Take M*A*S*H, for instance. It lasted too long. The last season,   
was, for the most part, not very good compared to what the show
had been. While it was still very good, it was not what the
other seasons had been. 

I say cancel QL now, while the show is still good, and let it be
remembered as a quality show.

And consider ourselves lucky that NBC stuck with it as long
as they did. Remember, the ratings aren't very good.

The Monkees has been in repeats on one channel or another pretty much
since it was originally on. Nickleodeon had it for awhile, and wasn't
MTV showing it too? Well, in any case, even the pretty young kids
that I know have seen it, and I would imagine that almost everyone in the
Ben Stiller target audience is familiar with the show.

And let me third (or maybe fourth) the opinion that this is a great
show! If you haven't seen it yet, check it out! In the SF Bay Area,
it's on Sundays at 7:30 p.m., on Fox. (Of course. Where else?)

No offense but that was a favorite quote..not
a question, although there might be some people that
didn't get the reference...
In Waiting For Godot two men sit waiting for Godot the
whole time, talking about when he will get there, where he is,
etc... I think he is a drug connection, or just an arbitrary 
connection they are waiting for...anyway, the characters
in Time of the Apes are standing there waiting for Goto the

Only until he (Dr. Caldwell) caught AIDS.  Then he quit getting the women every 
week.  Of course, he also left the show at that point, being unable to practice
medicine with AIDS.

As a side note.  I just realized that both of the characters that Mark Harmon has
plaied in Television Series (that I am aware of) went by the diminutive version
of the name commonly assosicated with children -- Dr. Bobby Caldwell, and Dicky
Cobb.  Interesting.

It's about time somebody proposed this:

We have our first definite example of a MiSTie missing out on most of the

Why not create rec.arts.tv.mst3k?

I realize that there aren't [yet] rec.arts.tv.* groups for particular
programs yet [the only one is rec.arts.tv.soaps].  Maybe it's time for one.
The newsgroup alt.tv.mst3k manages to have, oh, about 100 articles a week,
and the program shows no sign of being cancelled---it's Comedy Central's

Even were the program cancelled, alt.tv.mst3k would live on... MST3K is,

Ever want a reason NOT to watch a great movie on network TV?  "Die Hard" and
Fox was a prime example.  Just for grins, I decided to run the last half hour
of the Fox airing against my letterbox laserdisc copy (I was watching other
stuff the first two hours).

The first thing I noticed BEFORE I even put on the laserdisc was that the
Fox image looked compressed.  It was.  In order to squeeze in as much image
without being too obvious, what was shown was compressed horizonatally a small
amount.  But it was obvious.

Instead of looking stupid, having to bleep out all of the swear words, it was
decided to CUT out the offending scenes.  Boy, did that make it tough keeping
the laserdisc in sync with the Fox broadcast.  So much was cut out in the last
half hour.  Really bad.  Lots a good bits ended up on the cutting room floor.

The ONLY way to see movies like this is with laserdiscs in letterbox format,
including digital surround sound.  (I'm know I'm going to get flack for that
statement :-)

In summation...the Fox broadcast was the pits.

I think the commercial was originally shot in a different language for

With so many lady leapers out there clamouring to get him out of his clothes,
I woudl imagine he might feel rather flattered, or in the very least maybe
a little embarassed at his status as an intellegent sex symbol with
puppy eyes.

I still love him tho.  Just goes to show Murphy's Law of dating in effect:

But he still is just so cute when he's kissing someone.  And he just looked
so very happy in "Hurrecane".  Almost makes me wish he wasn't married to
Donna.  He and Cissy were adoreable.
