It was on for three seasons: 1) 1987-1988, 2) 1988-1989, 3) 1989-1990.

This is the original cast (1st year)

Actor                 Part
============================================================
Terance Knox          Sgt. Zeke Anderson
Stephen Caffrey       Lt. Marlin Goldman
Tony Becker           Cpl. Daniel Purcell
Miguel Nunez, Jr.     Pfc. Marcus Taylor  
Stan Foster           Cpl. (later Sgt.) Marvin Johnson
Steve Akahoshi        The Medic ('Doc') - killed off
Joshua Maurer         (War resister)
Eric Bruskotter       The surfer
Ramon Franco          Rudolfo Ruiz
Kevin Conroy          Capt. Wallace - killed off

Now - why did you ask? Is it showing up in syndication somewhere?

I have the entire three years on video tape. 

Interesting story: 
I was missing one episode, because the local TV guide was wrong and
showed something else when that one missing episode was repeated, so
I missed it. I put a posting on the net asking for anybody who had
it on tape. I got a phone call three weeks later. The guy says:

"Hello, you don't know me but my girlfriend works at Hughes and saw
your posting. I think I can help you with your missing episode."

I said "oh, you're a fan too?". He said "Not exactly. I was IN
the show."  It turns out that for the last two years of the
show, he was one of the NVA/ARVN/VietCong (depending on what
clothes they put on him). He had the missing episode and had
some great cast photos covering a wall in his apartment.
I helped him out with the couple of episodes that HE was missing.

Thank God for the Net.

Speaking of Michael Praed..what happened between him and Finola Hughes (GH)??
They were a significant couple for eight years and then they broke up.

     The extradition to West Virginia will go through, but because
     of his vital role in the community and what the judge could
     only refer to as his "Chris-ness," the town has 3 years to 
     hire a replacement DJ of Chris's caliber.  If, after 3 years
     the town has failed to find a replacement, the extradition
     will go through anyway... if the authorities from West Virginia

probably because it wasn't. you are confusing two shows. the 'failure to

Did anyone else happen to catch the premiere of _Shakey Ground_?
FOX gave it an incredibly bad timeslot (6:30pm Sunday, up against
the last half of _60 Minutes_), but it stars Matt Freuer (sp?) of
_Max Headroom_ and _Doctor, Doctor_ fame, so it's worth recording
and watching later.

I thought the premiere was pretty good...the portrayal of an 
aerospace company was dead-on.

I wish FOX would move this show to Thursday after _The Simpson's_.

Well, that's the correct order of broadcast, but there are nine eps.
The premiere, "The Gathering," (note the different opening credits
sequences) was re-run after seven eps.

The order is (minor spoiler warning):



The Gathering
Innocent Man
The Road Not Taken
Bad Day in Building A
Freefall
Deadly Medicine
Revenge is Sweet
The Sea Witch
Eyewitness

I may have 5 and 6 switched.  Plot briefs added upon request.

Reportedly they are distantly related to Albert Einstein the physicist, and

I disagree.  Since I'm a medical student I don't have a heck of a lot
of time to watch television, but I *never* miss Faith Daniels!  She's
the only talk show host I've ever seen who can do justice to serious
topics (her show on autism was a great help to me when I was a psychology
TA and students asked me, "Can a person recover from autism?") while
showing a wonderful sense of humor when doing more light-hearted ones
(for example, the "gadgets" show from last Friday).

Now, I would certainly say that Geraldo *is* a flake, but Faith Daniels
is not.  The only time you hear an intelligent comment on Geraldo's
show is when a member of the studio audience has the sense to make one;
Faith Daniels doesn't need a studio audience for that; in fact, the
early episodes of "A Closer Look" didn't even have a studio audience,
and the shows were just as enjoyable.  (You also won't see Faith Daniels
opening Al Capone's vault, or pulling similar stupid stunts.)

>Is there anyone else who finds Faith Daniels to be among the most annoying
>shallow people to be given a show??

Maybe, but I'm not one of them.  If you want to give Geraldo the Egotistical
Raving Moron Award, I'll go along in a second, but Faith Daniels
doesn't deserve it.

>IS anyone else amazed that *she's* been
>around so long??!!

Only when one considers that the networks have tended not to stay with
intelligent shows for long.  Maybe the networks are starting to recognize
quality when they see it ("Brooklyn Bridge" notwithstanding).  As long as
Faith Daniels is on the air, she has a permanent place in my VCR Plus+. :-)
