Her name is Patricia Wettig.  In real life she is married to Ken Olin
(who played Michael Steadman on 30something).  You win the bet.
She *was* Billy Crystal's wife in City Slickers.

To continue the tangent, That reminds me of what one of my friends
call ATM's in this area. They are known as MAC (Money Access Center).
his nickname: Mafia Access Center.

OK, it's a lame post. Let me recover

Anyone know the name of the town where 'The Highlander II' was filmed?

  Yep... I belive he will be on FOX. There have been rumors
  that David Letterman will jump ship from NBC and move
  to FOX. The deal would be to put Letterman up against
  Jay Leno and have Chevy's show follow. Back at NBC,
  Dana Carvey would take over for Letterman.

  These are only rumors... but would really work well FOX

It's been a little more than a year now since I first discovered Northern
Exposure in summer re-runs.  I've been taping the show since then, though
I missed several episodes that first summer.
As this summer comes to a close, it looks like I may never get a chance to
see and record the episodes I missed from the first two seasons.
Therefore, I'd like to know if anyone who has them on tape would be willing
to send me copies of them.  I'm missing 6 episodes, and of course I will
pay to get them from someone.

So if you have any of the NEXP episodes on tape and you're willing to share 
them, please let me know!!

I have all of the most recent season on tape, as well as many other things,
if you'd rather trade.

Thanks in advance!

I believe in standards and all that, but tell me, why NBC, the 
network that has brought us so much sex and gore (no, not the Democratic
ticket!), so afraid of the word "dump," as in "you think after eating 
all those sheep, it'd have to take a dump somewhere." NBC is amazingly 
frightened by the word since they changed it to "rest." Dittos for 
"god-damned" which turned into gol-darned. 

Sheesh, back to cable for me.

They had one many years ago about the Bel-Arabs that went

Let me tell you a story 'bout man named Abdul,
A poor Bedoin, couldn't find his family food,
And then one day he was shootin' at some Jews,

I saw the new episode of Seinfeld last night and I was very disappointed
due to its use of a laugh track. It was very annoying; it seemed to be
present in some scenes and absent in others, and when it was present
it often drowned out the actual dialog.

I don't remember a laugh track being used last season. Is this some attempt
to pump up the show in the face of competition from Home Improvement? If so,
it looks like a dismal failure. One of the big strengths of the show is
the subtle, understated nature of the comedy, which the laugh track
completely destroyed.

Actually, I have to revise my statement. Though I still believe that
they want to focus on the philosophical aspects rather than the usual
genre conventions, it occurs to me that Nick's "vamping out" *does*
play an important part in that. I disagree that it's that they want to
show him as a "superhero" (though it certainly makes the plots easier
to resolve). What I *do* think is that it points out the dichotomy of
Nick's situation: he wants to become human, but he needs those powers
he has as a vampire to get the job done, and everytime he uses those
powers it makes it all the more difficult for him to regain his humanity.

I think this was best pointed out in the episode "False Witness", where
during his "hero's party", Natalie asked him if his actions were "a step
forward or a step back". A nicely subtle way of putting it.

I was suprised that (1) Nick brought Jeanette back to his apartment (2) He 
was willing to introduce her to Natalie.

Concerning (1) -- Nick and Jeanette may have a past -- but it seems to me 
that he now resents her for the part she played in bringing him over.  
Also, she probably represents to him the temptations of remaining a 
vampire ("cheap thrills").  In past episodes, it's clear he only goes to 
see her for info -- certainly not to reminisce.  So why a friendly visit 
to the apartment?

Concerning (2) -- Up to now, Nick's kept the two parts of his life 
completely separate.  Why endanger Natalie by letting Jeannette know who 
she is?  Nick should realize how Jeanette will react!  (Natalie's not in 
any immediate danger -- but if Jeannette should cease to be amused or find 
her inconvenient or want to lash out at Nick . . .)  And if Jeanette knows 
Natalie's name and that she's a friend of Nick's, the vampire community 
may come to know.  Why not just let Natalie leave and tell her later why.

Having said all that -- it was an interesting last scene for the show!

Ginger's last name is something Polish, I believe.

Anne Metcalf's late husband was apparently not the saint she portrayed him
as, but rather a womanizer and potentially a drunk?and gambler? This point
helps explain why Anne was so reluctant to date Al, was quite upset when she
found out he was divorced, and why Hank was SO upset about her marriage to AL.

As for how Ginger and Jeff got together -- In that drugstore scene Linda metion
ed Jeff as a possible date for Ginger.  Ginger laughed it off saying Jeff was
too young and only interested in baseball.  At the wedding held at the Metcalf
home (or at least the reception) Ginger and Jeff were both despondant (Ginger
because Charlie and Caroline were there) I think they both had too much to
drink, and ended up upstairs in Jeff's room.  The made love twice (both
virgins) then vowed that they wouldn't have sex again.  Then began dating.
Then when Ginger thought she was pregnant, She and Jeff pretended to be
married when they went to see the doctor in Cleveland. (Anne was worried that
they had eloped.) She wasn't pregnant, but it got them thinking about marriage.
