Well, she had a pretty good show before.  That's because it was called
'A Closer Look'.  it was a half-hour long, and she talked for a half
hour, sitting down, with about 2 or 3 people on subjects on normal talk
shows, but just on the 'standard' topics (abuse, etc...).  But last year,
they totally revamped the format, having now 10-12 guests on at a time,
with the addition of the inane Studio Audience, Goofy Topics, and 
Psychiatrist Who Explains It All In Their New Book.

IMO, Daniels isn't any more shallow or self-involved than anyone
else in the talk-show format.  What scares me is the depth of this
format; there are, what *14* different talkfests?!?!?  When you get
right down to it, is there *anybody* doing stuff on a talk show that
Oprah or Donahue hasn't done, and better?

Later!!!

Memories.....

> a. An Abbott and Costello cartoon (around 1978 or so)

It's from the early 60's. It featured Bud Abbott doing his own voice.
Lou was already dead by this time. Bud was very sick in the early
seventies before he died in, I believe, 1972 from Lung Cancer. I have
seen these tapes in a store once. Stan Irwin did Lou. I verified it
was done in 1966. Cute, but overdid 'HEY ABBOTT', and 'IM A BAD BOY."
It was never as frequent as in the cartoons.

> b. A Three Stooges cartoon series (more like 1975)

Again, this was from the early 60's. It had Larry, Moe, and 'Curly'
Joe doing their voices, I believe... I know they 'hosted' the show in
a live segment. There was also 'The Three Robotic Stooges', which was
a BAD revival of the team in the late 70's. The first 3 stooges series
is on video, the latter I could care less.

> c. A Laurel and Hardy cartoon series (Early 70s)

I remember they were featured in a 'Scooby Doo Series 2' episode. I
don't remember this as a full series.

For the 3 above, I much prefer the original works. IN the case of
Abbott & Costello, I fell in love with the movies because the cartoons
peaked my intrest.

BTW, this reminds me of the 'Chaplin' imitation with the cat. Did the
cat have a name? I can't remember. I seem to recall it was part of a
cartoon group, with 'The Odd-Ball Couple' and 'M*U*S*H', obvious as to
what they are copying after.  

I much prefer 'The originals' nowdays. In a way, if they would do a
Keaton and Lloyd cartoon series, maybe it would get a bigger revival
around here.

I remember this, but can't figure out what it is. I liked 'Dick
Dastardly' better, with the crazy planes, thogh 'Wacky Racers' was
even better.

Hope this helps.

I always thought "pecs" was short for "pectorals" which are chest muscles,

  I think your friend is wrong.  I moved to Florida in 1974,

 Diana Hyland did die of cancer sometime during the 1st season. I remember
the family dealing with it even after Tom met and started dating Abby. The
other notable incident is that she was dating John Travolta when she died.

I don't know if this quite the right newsgroup for this request,
but here it is:

In Europe two satelite sportschannels exist (Eurosport and SportNet).
They broadcast their programs during the daytime and recently a 
(British?) company called Quantum has started to broadcast episodes
from Amazing Discoveries, Home of the 90'ies, etc. etc. during the
night time (2am - 7am). Because each country in Europe has its own
soundtrack, the programs are dubbed in Dutch over here (although 
that's done rather badly: they don't even TRY to match the picture
with the sound :-). To me these infomercials are funny (the voice
overs are really strange; all inovations seem to come from Europe
(i.e. the Eurorock, the Europainter) - I haven't seen those products
over here before...; a lot of the 'experiments' done are fakes (or 
they look like they're faked)) and because I've heard references
to AD in two other programs (Cheers and Get A Life) I'm rather
curious about the origin of these programs.

Can anybody tell me when they started, how many different shows there
are (besides Amazing Discoveries), the frequency, which channels they're
broadcasted on in the States, timeslot, etc. etc. Is Mike Levy still the
AD host? Do those two English guys still have guest appearances?

I hope anybody can answer this, because they might not be considered funny
in the USA, so regular viewers might want to remain anonymous ;-)

A slightly neurotic Jewish guy fresh out of college who appears to be
resigned to just about the dullest life imaginable (he lives at home,
and got a job at the same snack-food company that his dad works at) meets
the girl of his dreams, a beautiful, wild, carefree woman who turns his
life up on end.  Not exactly ground breaking material, but it is very
funny (IMO) and is worth checking out.  Sundays at 10pm on FOX (a horrible
time slot which is probably at least partly responsible for the poor ratings).

Siskel and Ebert did a show within the past year or two about how predictable
the events in movies are . . . I guess the same applies to television . . . 

My personal favorite:  If there's a car chase and a large plate glass window,
the car will end up going through it.

Siskel and Ebert both wish that someone would make a movie that has the car 
stop inches in front of the window . . . just for something different.
