I contributed that article to Dean Adams' guide. Dean edited a fiar
bit of it. If you want the whole thing, I suggest to get a back issue
of Playboy, July 1990.

A minor nit-pick: It was the *script* that was censored and changed,
not the show as filmed.

There is no "uncensored" version...remember, the script was changed
and then filmed. It is expensive enought to rehearse all week and then
film and edit...can you imagine the additional expense involved if
they had to re-film for each request by the censor? So the script goes
to the censors *before* filming.

An example of a line that was changed was the defense attorney, in
court, holding up a pair of handcuffs and saying to Marcy something
like "I don't suppose you recognize these?!"  In the original script,
the attorney was holding not handcuffs but radishes (yes, radishes!).
The censors objected to radishes because they didn't understand them.
Handcuffs they understood. Go figure.

> b) Have the ability to copy from PAL to NTSC

I don't have that ability, but some local firms here do. Someone from
the U.K. sent me a PAL copy of "I'll See You In Court" last winter.  I
got two NTSC copies made for $18 CDN (= $15 US = about 9 pounds U.K.).
Unfortunately the original PAL recording was not that great to begin
with.  Are you offering to send another, better, copy?

> If anyone is interested I'll post a summary of the episode next Thursday.

We're always interested!  I thought the show was really funny.

A friend of mine told me that he saw Adam Sandler on the Dennis Miller

working on called "Whoopee Man" whose gimmick was that he responded to all
questions with a quiet "whoopee!"  As you might imagine, my friend said that
WM was resoundingly unfunny.

Very truthfull, as it turns out.

Yet, you are missing alot of pieces of information.  First off, cards are
not exactly just plugged in.  The idea is close, but that isn't where the
problem lies.  It lies in the amplifiers that are out there to amplify the
broadband signal.  When cable systems were built, many couldn't go as high
as channel 20 (or there abouts).  The cable can go as high as 400 MHz or so.
But, the amps didn't go that high.  When systems expanded, many systems only
bought amps to go as high as 300 MHz (channel 36).  Another reason is that
the amps are spaced at 2000 feet apart.

In order to go to 400 MHz, it requires new amps that are as wide as 400 MHz
and that the spacing must be changed to 1200 feet (or is it 1600 feet?).
That means a system rebuild.  A very expensive venture.

The cable system is starting the process of doing a rebuild for my area,
since it is part of the contract with the city.  If they don't get the rebuild
started and completed by certain dates, they could lose the franchise.  We
will be getting a 54+ system in a couple of years.

<Perhaps it's a regulation thing. 1) Do cable companies need FCC
<licenses? 2) Do such licenses specify a number of channel that the
<licensee is allowed to provide?

1) I don't know (they have to worry about leakage though); 2) no.

I had the bright idea of calling the station (!)  For those in this area,
Indy will be shown this week at 12:30 (noon) on Sunday Oct. 4.  The person

That character is Eli, who is the single best character on television today.
pleayed by David Rosenberg, Eli is a lawyer who had suffered a nervous 
breakdown due to the stress, and last season's best moments were with him 
dealing with his mental condition (giving himself electro-shock to calm
himself down). He is a reasonable, upstanding, intelligent, nonjudgmental
really cool guy... It's weird that the most interesting and likable character
on television is somewhat crazy, but that's how it goes...
The producers of the show realized the wonder they had with Eli, in that now
his character is featured on the opening credits (he wasn't last year), and
that his character has all the best lines and all the best cases...
Mariel's Sidney is the show's major drawback... She's SO uninteresting...

This was one of my favorite shows and I was sorry to see it go, but 
please don't blame "Stupid FOX executives" for the loss.  The fact of
the matter is that the FOX programmers renewed it for a second season
because they recognized its originality and innovation and wanted it
to have a second chance to catch on.

It didn't have anywhere *near* the ratings performance to justify this--
despite its debut in the single best time slot FOX had (I believe it
was Sunday night between "In Living Color" and "Married With Children"
--a lot of shows would kill for such a lead-in).  They initiated some
format changes (which I didn't like because we saw so much less of
Bob Elliot and Eleanor Donahue) and put it in a Siberian time slot
(Sunday 11 p.m.; one of the local affiliates didn't even carry it), 
but at least they let it live another year.

If you're not convinced yet of the non-stupidity of FOX executives in
this matter, perform the following thought experiment:  How long would
"Get A Life" have lasted on, say, CBS?  About three minutes, that's how
long.

Having seen a few questions about it, just thought I'd tell you that
it's titled "Nowhere to Run" (unless they change the title again),
written by Tommy Thompson, wherein Sam leaps into a Vietnam vet in a
VA hospital.  The tricky part is, the guy Sam has leaped into has had
both his legs amputated!

I've read the script and it's *GOOD* Can't wait to see it!

Glad you liked it!  Its one of our Canadian exports that actually worked in
the US market.  (Yes, I know, they had to become popular on Fox before the
CBC ever took a look at them...).  They are the only television show on CBC
that is preceded by a disclaimer warning of obscenity and mature subject matter.

They are able to get away with a lot, especially concerning gay/lesbian material
without angering too many groups.  This is due, in no small part, to Scott
Thompson's own homosexuality.

BTW, Lorne Michaels, the producer of SNL, also does Kids in the Hall.
