I mostly agree.  I only wish they'd set the show at generic Big State
University rather than generic Liberal Arts College.  The whole 'College
as one long Comp. Lit. course' idea has been done to death in Hollywood,
and
that's the only academic facet they've set themselves up to explore,
by casting Peter Horton as Lit. Professor.  At BSU they could've done
computer/engineering nerds, mega-jocks etc.

I also think the major female character casting was a little too
predictable.

The 'brainy' one is brunette.
The 'dizzy' one is blonde.
The 'Party Girl' has the best body.
The Dean of Students looks like an ex-fashion model.

But the characterization for all, including the females, was more generous 
than typical, and so I hope they'll depart from the typecasting they
started with.

A few nits I just have to pick:

All the students arrived on campus with (at most) a few suitcases of stuff.
Even as a freshman, I filled up most of a car.  

The woman cast as Dean of Students is too young to have been a major Campus
Radical in the '60s, but she supposedly led a group that took over the
Administration for allowing Chemical Weapon research on campus.  Also,
Liberal
Arts College wouldn't have a major research Chemistry Dept.  That's BSU's
area.  Of course by casting a pretty thirtysomething woman, they leave the
option for a future romance or love/hate relationship with Peter Horton.

But still, all in all, it's pretty good and certainly better than what
the networks are running against it here.

I agree wholeheartedly.  This is just another case of
beautiful-and-perfect-teens-who-are-really-in-their-late-20s.  I think the
reviewer in _Entertainment Weekly_ put it best: "I decided not to go to
grad school in order to GET AWAY from people like this."  It will almost
certainly die a richly-deserved quick death.

I think Keenan Ivory Wayans is right....there's some serious mental
impairments amongst Fox management right now, and if they don't start to
realize that you can't base an ENTIRE NETWORK on appealing to
16-year-olds, they won't be around much longer.

     Does anybody remember the "Friday the 13th - The Series" that used to be
on FOX and WPIX(New York) until it was taken off the air about 6 months ago?
     My question is what is the name of the Redhead who played "Mickey" on the
show? Everytime I watched the credits in the beginning of the show the only
credit that didn't have a mans name was... Robey! Is this her name? Is this her
TV name? IF so do you have any information on her or her real name? If this is
her name I have never heard of her before, it's not like a one word name like
Madonna or Prince! Could someone Please give me some information on this?

know why).  You see, some of us live in caves, and would like to know a little

Thanks in advance.

I'm sure we're all wondering where that hysterical list of slang terms

Wednesday afternoon when I was in the QL offices, I asked Rick Okie
"Did you guys sit around in a meeting and rattle all these off?". Rick
said, no, that Robin Bernheim had read this list in an issue of
"Esquire", thought it was funny, and saved it, figuring she'd use it

Dr. Ruth herself, BTW, thought it was great!

Well, all I know is, the way all of those first year students are

College just isn't like that in this here good ole U. S. of A. and I find
it hard to believe that as innovative as Fox is, they are waging an
underage drinking campaign.

On the same subject, did anyone notice in the 90210 Thanksgiving show
 Dylan reluctantly poured his father a whiskey..?  I wonder if

It is filmed here at the downtown campus of the University of
Toronto, but I don't think I've seen any part of the St. Mike's campus
in the first two episodes.  Most of the stuff appears to be done at
Trinity College and UC (and maybe Vic) with Hart House being used for the
track/gym scenes.  I think they've done a pretty good job hiding the fact
that they're right in the heart of downtown Toronto.

     I don't agree either. The best thing for them to do would be to bring

    I agree totally. Maggie is so annoying, but it seems like the perfect
 woman for Dicky. That may sound wierd, 'cus I do think Dicky is a good
 character, but I think he needs that kind of woman to maybe teach him a
 lesson when he obtains the right one. I know that some people don't like
 the idea of Dicky seeing Maggie, but hey, I'm all for it. Whoever portrays

I've been really impressed with the topics they've tackled.  I haven't
seen any homosexuality yet, but the writers have presented several issues:

bigamy
sex changes
church & state (cristmas pageant)
condom distribution in schools
masturbation is frequently referred to
animal sacrifice

These are the only things I can think of off the top of my head.  But
I'm impressed with the messages they're sending.  Sheriff Brock has
his prejudices just like everyone else. None of the characters are perfect
with saintly acceptance of all others.  The sensitive issues raised in
the show bring out the fears and insecurties of the characters.  Someone
then manages to show the individual how prejudiced they are really being.

Did that make sense???  I hope I got my point across.

Anyway, I can't get enough of this show.  Like L.A. Law used to be, every
week has an enjoyable and surprising episode.

  Some people may despise this commercial since it features a

complaints:

	"Peanut butter again?!"
	"Eww!  Tuna Salad?!"
	"Isn't this your doggy bag from *last night*?!"

and then, after the gradually building whininess, comes the clincher.
After looking at that day's lunch, he says, in an imploring but quiet
voice:

	"Are you mad at me?"

Oh man, if kids really could manipulate like this, parents would never
have a chance!  The writers of this commercial knew *exactly* which
buttons to push to simulataneously make the ad funny, and make you
want to satisfy your kids more.  I love this ad!

Dumb question then: Which one did they show on USA (most recently)? 
I'd heard they cut a lot of episodes, but they showed the pilot as
a 2-parter. Have I, in fact, finally seen the whole thing, or not?
(I thought I'd missed 1/2 hour of it when it first came out, but 
all I saw was 3 short additional scenes. (The hitchhiker, "He's 
leaping" and the zoom onto the clock & Sam)
