Hi Gang

Minnie Pearl or Cousin Minnie Pearl is a very old star of the Grand
Ole Opry.  She was a comedian and she always wore a little flat
straw hat with the price tag on it.  When she came on stage she
always shouted at the top of her lungs Hooooowwwwwdy, mighty proud
to be here.

I read in the TV Guide that this show will return in the Fall, but sometime
after the presidential elections.  TV Guide "jeered" NBC for not having the
guts to run it before and during the elections, when a lot of the humor 
would be more topical.  

On another note, I heard on the radio that an hour long episode of Murphy
Brown will air in September that will be dedicated to retaliating against
Dan Quayle.  Can't wait!

I thought it was great.  The best moment came when the director took a shot
of Branford laughing hysterically.  When Branford realized his camera was
on, he quickly got "poliically correct" and stopped laughing.  But you knew
as soon as the camera was off of him, he was laughing again.

Does it surprise you?  Look at the time difference.  Look at the triple-cast
schedule.

Notice how all live stuff will occur while everyone is at work.  Not exactly
good for ratings.  To get the most viewers, the broadcast feed has to be at
night, when nothing is occuring.

You want live, get the triple-cast.  Wanna watch Olympics after you get off
work, watch NBC free tv.

Too me it sounds like you believe the Olympics are occuring during the
same hours that you are living in.  Not quite.  You'll have to wait until
the Olympics gets to the States.  But, even then the prime stuff will occur
while people are working.  Tape replays are basically a must.

That would be Snidely Whiplash.  Related question:  Was it Snidely Whiplash
or some other villian-type (ala Crabby Appleton) who used to have this
bad-guy laugh that sounded like "Nyah-ah-ah!...." (accents on the ahs)?

I honestly thought it was doing well! (I liked it, people I talked to
liked it, it was just moved to an earlier time slot, etc).

Here's some addresses to write about The Dennis Miller Show.

The Parent company:	Tribune Entertainment
			435 N Michigan Ave
			Chicago IL 60611

The Producers:		The Dennis Miller Show
			c/o Brillstein - Grey Entertainment
			9200 Sunset Blvd
			Suite 428
			Los Angeles CA 90069

(The show itself isn't answering their phones, and any address they
might give may not exist for long anyway).  Writing the parent company
is the quickest way to protest the show cancellation, letters to the
producers will be also logged (and reported to the parent company),
but have a better chance of directly cheering up the people involved
with the show.

Dennis also has the aforementioned 900 numbers running, 1-900-468-2210
is one (calls cost $.75, profits go to Pediatric AIDS Foundation).
Last night, Dennis admitted that he gave out the numbers mostly as a
joke, but they got 30,000 calls yesterday.  He seemed surprised and
pleased.  Who knows?

Sally, this is going to be one of those messages you see a lot 
that seems to be coming from a hairbrained idiot, but I have a 
good excuse: I was unavoidabbly detained.  What I was late for 
was the beginning of a QL panel discussion wherein the panelists 
were asked whether the rumors about an animated episode had any 
validity or not.  Their response was that considering the cost 
of such an episode, the lead time required to do it and the 
moral(sic) implications, it just wasn't going to happen.  They 
went on to explain that by "moral" they meant the ramifications 
of Sam leaping into an inanimate subject.  The reason I mention 
I was late is that I'm apologising in advance for not being able 
to tell you who the panelists were.  The panel took place at 
"Shore Leave 14", a Star Trek con held in Hunt Valley, MD on 
10-12th of July, 1992.
My question is, what do you think about this?  What, if anything, 
have you heard about an animated episode?

Actually, the better description I've heard for it is an anti-QL.  Instead
of leaping into the people around the victim, he becomes the victim, and 
instead of the audience being able to see him as himself while everyone
sees him as the person he's replacing, EVERYONE sees him as the person
he replaces.

Actually, the thing about the 2nd ep that I loved was that the set of the
General (or whatever's)  apartment was Barry Allen's place.  That and the
quick snippet of a 'Flash' on the tv at the CIA recruiters place.  Couldn't
be sure if it was the show or if it was supposed to be an interview.  

Was a lovely episode though...

>JH>Well, I hope THIS Pet Fly production hangs around longer than

Ditto.  Could be fun..

And I REALLY hope Grapevine sticks around too...saw it for the first time

 Before they did the torch light, one of the commentator's
 said that there was going to be a stream of gas coming up out
 of the torch, and the archer had to get the arrow somewhere
 over the torch, not in it, to get it to light.

  Why?  If the commentator's comments were correct, then the
  arrow did pass over the torch and light it.

I agree TOTALLY!  I can at least tolerate the other actors/actresses, but
I guess being a southerner myself makes me want to hurl every time she opens
her mouth.  I have no idea where this actress is from, but I suspect it's
NOT south of the Mason-Dixon.  I just get tired of the STEREOTYPICAL blond
southern bimbo.  I mean, I wanted to die last night when she was quivering
her lips as she was talking to Grant Show.  AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!  Who is
she, Marilyn Monroe?!?!?!
