Alright, I've browsed sufficiently to get a feeling on you all's reaction to the
first two weeks of the new Ren and Stimpy.  I've heard lots about stories, gags,
 (personally, I'm underwhelmed), etc  but nothing about sound characteristics and
the animation.   I'm not sayin I didn't like it it, but there was something
different especiallly the first week, that really threw me there.  Did anyone
notice this? I can't put a finger on it, but REn and stimpy sounded and looked a
little different this time. 


I'm psyched for the new season though.  It's the only TV I really watch regularly
now.  With luck, Ren and Stimpy will last for enough seasons that when our kids
are our age, the series will enjoy the timeless success of Bugs Bunny, etc.  we
can hope. 

If anyone has the original uncut version of Big house blues, I'll send a videotap
with return postage if you'll copy it.

The ending was a classic Warner Brothers ending for the time
period, late 40's early fifties. As a die hard Bugs Bunny fan, it
was wonderful to see John K. poke fun at the old studio classics in
this manner. The bulls were drawn almost perfectly from the old
cartoons where they appeared and the background was the same. No
puzzling here. And if you will note, the music on the ending was
the tune played during the Three stooges B&W's of the time period.
Excellently done!

Indeed more than one Three Stooges short ended with the boys being thrown onto
the backs of bulls and riding into the sunset. One that now sticks out now that
I have reviewed my Three Stooges guide (which no one should be without) was
called (of all things) Out West. It was made in 1947 and starred Moe, Larry,
and Shemp. (They can't all star Curly!) Now that it is clear that Bob Camp
was paying homage to the Stooges in some way he should go back and review a
couple of their shorts to get a feel for the frenetic pace that Ren and Stimpy
seem to be missing this season. The Ren and Stimpy Out West was way to slow
except the hanging hoedown. I did like both episodes last week better than 
Ren's Toothache, though. Remember, All the world's a stooge. We are merely
croco-stimpies.

I am watching the first season of LA LAW on lifetime.  ON yesterday's
episode (monday, the 24th) Grace prosecuted a gay man who killed his
lover who was dying of AIDS.  The lover claimed it was a mercy killing
while the state claimed it was first degree murder.  Grace was conflicted
about it.  Anyway the lawyer of the gay man accused of murder looked
VERY VERY familar.  I thought maybe he appeared on other LA LAW
episodes?  or in something else?  I dont know his name but his
face is so familar -- it is driving me crazy.  If anyone knows, thank you!

I don't think this has been mentioned, but this isn't a case of one actor
playing numerous roles.  He just happenes to be a recurring character named

The actor you are referring to did appear in at least one other episode that
I am aware of. He played a friend of Victors' who had a terminal illness that
his insurance company would not cover. He hired Victor to sue the company and
force them to pay the medical bills.

Hope that clears things up and will keep you from many sleepless nights. I know

	The same lawyer has appeared quite a number of times on L.A. Law, the
most prominent one may very well have been the last one where Victor
represented him against the insurance company. That was also the one where
Victor and Grace tied the knot.

	I don't recall off-hand his other appearances on L.A.Law, but he's
been there and there is a continuity concerning gay/aids rights.

Here are all the overlaps I can think of at the moment...I will no doubt
forget most of the names...

Diana Muldaur as Dr. Katherine Pulaski and Rosalind Shays.

Corben Bernsen as Arnie Becker and Q2.

John De Lancie as Q and a lawyer(?) in the Kuzak case of the woman who
strangled her husband.

The actress (name forgotten) as Corinne, Arnie's (now ex-) wife, and as
the achaelogist Picard met on Raisa and later in the Robin Hood episode.

The actress who played the image of the wife of the energy being, and a
judge.

The black actor who played a StarFleet admiral and the Judge Grace looked
to for support during her stint as judge (is he also the father in Fresh
Prince?).

Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher and I believe some fashion designer/
promoter.

That's all I can think of...I also think Sheila Kelley (Gwen on Law) had
a small part as a colonist at the colony destroyed at the beginning of
the episode by the Crystal Entity, who was killed, but she didn't last long,
and haven't seen the beginning of that episode since.

I can't help you out with his name, but I've seen him on Star Trek TNG
at least once.  He souped up the Enterprise's engines, with the help
of his bumpy assistant and without really knowing what he was doing.

On that subject, I've noticed quite a bit of overlap between the two
shows.  Lawyers and judges are constantly showing up on the Enterprise.
Rosalind Shays, for instance, was a regular on both shows and even
a guest once or twice on the old Star Trek.  I think I remember Arnie
appearing once.  And the semi-regular black male judge moonlights at
star fleet command.  In the other direction, the Enterprise's 
Dr. Crusher appeared on LA Law last season.  Hollywood is a small
town, I guess.

Yup.  He appeared in a few other episodes, I believe.  He had a recent
episode of his own, where he contracted AIDS and was suing his insurance
company because they wouldn't fund his DDC treatment. Victor was his 
attorney.  I believe that episode ran on one of the Lifetime tracks
recently.

While we're discussing reappearances of LALaw actors, people might be
interested that Alan Rachins and Diana Muldaur will be supplying voices for
this September's Batman cartoon on Fox. Rachins will be playing a villain named
"Clock King" (who's a minor nobody in the comics, but who knows what they'll do
with him here) and Muldaur will play Dr. Leslie Thompkins, a confidante of
Batman who disagrees with his decision to fight crime.

I've been keeping an eye out for these, and so far there's only been
three tenative references to Australian culture ... Canadians have

xenophobia during the show, but I reckon we Aussies would make far

``Don't worry luv, maybe it was just a Wallaby.''

The fact is Wallabies are herbivorous and the largest species stands
at about 90cms tall.  The accent that Harry Shearer used did send a
chill up my spine though ... But it was typical of the American flicks
that tried to cash in on the Down-Under fad a few years back.
