   Hey, I like David Carradine.  I have had enough of this bashing him.
   His whole family are pretty decent actors.  I heard somewhere that
   David has been in more movies than anyone else on the planet.  At that
   rate they can't all be winners.  I cannot name anything of his that I
   would consider a masterpiece.  But most of the stuff I have seen him
   in has been pretty entertaining.  Try "Deathrace 2000" for example.

So what. Maybe I have a lo-blow attitude attitude, but there are
two possible answers to the situation:

1. Innendiate USA and Universal's Syndication Department (or
equivelent) with the trademark letterwriting campaign Leapers are
famous at NBC for. :)

2. Maybe we can suggest that the uncut episodes be made available
via Columbia house, much like the TOS/TNG episodes. Universal can
make money off this end, and the leapers get the uncut episodes.

3. We can always pester congress to pass legislation to prevent
cutting of episodes in syndication. :)

I don't know if it has anything to do with Judith Ivey being on the
show, but I like the new season a whole lot more than last season. I'm
really looking forward to the next episode, while last season it was
just a thing on between Murphy Brown and NX. 

I guess it's a couple of things that make the show better... Miss OPD
being gone, and the fact that they seem to be DESIGNING women so far,
instead of whining women or tirading women, or whatever they were up to
last season. I've been watching DW in syndication on WGN and a local
channel, and I've noticed they design a lot in those episodes too. They
just introduced Bernice this week, and everyone's calling her Mrs.
Clifton! hehe.

How's that for an alliterative title?  I posted this once before and
got no response, so here goes again.  I'm looking for someone in the
Boulder area who tapes Quantum Leap, because I just recently got 
"hooked" and would like to see old episodes.  Don't tell me to get
cable and watch USA, because our house is in a cable twilight zone.
Anyone out there willing to loan me tapes?  Know someone who might be?
Have a friend of a friend who might be?  Pretty Please?

Well this Monday the previews for next week's episode shows that it will be
the young/young Indy.  So I think all this argument about if he will show up
again is academic.

Anybody notice how Fox actually covered the Pres. Debate last night?
They even had their own opening graphics! I say Fox has arrived :) !
Usually they would leave their local affiliates to carry feeds from 
cable (CNN).  I was flabbergasted to see Fox actually do something having
to do with news.  Which brings up my other point/question.  A little while
ago a local radio station said Fox was working on a national news agency
for itself, is this true?  Will we be seeing "The Fox Evening news" soon?
If so how soon.  Seeing as how I'm that weird guy who posts that Fox series
list, this is of great interest to me :).  

BTW - if you know about a Fox news agency/national news broadcast who will
be/do you think will be the anchor(s)?

This whole thread is hilarious!

I've never seen the commercial (or is it a series of commercials?) but
getting bits and pieces of it from the comments here is pretty amusing.
Or is this a hoax -- a few netters making comments about a fake commercial
to make people think it is real?  :-)

I wouldn't know, though.  I find it hard to pay much attention to
commercials.  That's what remote controls, kitchens, bathrooms, and
dogs are for (assuming you are watching TV for real, and not as
background).

1) Per USA Today article (10/13): "For the first time, 15 stars will take
the Jeopardy! challenge Oct. 26-30 in Celebrity Jeopardy!, playing for
their favorite charities." Dean Stockwell is one of the participants and
according to an audience member - he won $7,000.00 toward ozone and sun
radiation awareness.  Smart cookie!

2) From Daily Variety (10/12):  "Producer Donald Bellisario has entered
into an exclusive TV and first-look feature deal with Paramount Pictures as
expected (since July 10) after more than a dozen years at Universal TV.
The long anticipated move reunites Bellisario with Paramount TV Group
president Kerry McCluggage and studio chairman, Brandon Tartikoff - what
Bellisario called a three-way "mutual admiration society," who were jointly
responsible for Bellisario's NBC series "Quantum Leap"....his first project
under the three-year pact will likely be a feature, possibly a
psychological thriller he'll write and either produce or direct.  He's also
working an an action concept for NBC that could lead to a series or series
of TV movies.  Bellisario will continue to have a supervisory role on
QL...The producer had publicly clashed with the studio over budgeting on
the show, but said that was only part of the reason he's going to
Paramount..."

If the bald bimbo wants to purchase airtime to air her political
views, she can do so. But to air her politics on a comedy show just
proves how self-absorbed she is. I assume she was being paid to
perform her music on SNL. That does not include a political statement
in the middle of what was allegedly a song. All that her actions
served to remind people about was how outrageous she could be, while
insulting many millions of Americans who hold their religious beliefs
dear. She has no power in her message. She's just a singer who can't
sing a capella, and who is willing to make herself look like a dumb
