[Description of "banned" commercials]

How about Anhauser(sp?) Busch's "Natural Light" beer and Coors?

The ad claims that Coors is brought from Colorado to Virginia to be 
packaged for the East Coast. The ad implies that a concentrate of Coors
beer is diluted in Virginia with local water, instead of the
"cool mountain spring" that Coors uses, and then packaged. The fact is 
that Virginia water is used to balance the beer to make up for water 
lost in transport (figure it out yourselves) Coors got a temporary stop 
to the ad claiming it was deceptive (as was the point that the ad was 
making - Coors beer isn't all Rocky Mountain Spring water) But Busch 
managed to get it overturned. Talk about picking nits....

There was a nice article about this in the NY Times a few days ago.

Well, I watched this last night after all the hype, and more hype
FOX put on for this show.  My opinion of it is the same for
Melrose Place.  It has potential.

Now, so far, MP has fallen flat on its face and probably isn't worth
pursuing.  We'll have to see how the Heights does.  I usually try
not to condemn a show after the pilot.  It usually takes a couple
of episodes for things to smooth out.  The Heights probably needs
a little more help than some.

IMO, the best characters were the sax player, who reminded me of Julia
Roberts, and her boyfriend.  The character portrayed by the blond girl
is interesting, but she either she can't act or the script was lousy or
both.  The rest of the cast was unremarkable.

ARRGH! Sorry, but that is exactly why I think they should at least make 
a mild attempt to be historically accurate.

The argument that "OK, the public is brain-dead, so let's make sure our 
programs are brain-dead, too" sends shivers up my spine!

The thought that this will be some people's only "history lesson" for 
that period of time makes me gag.
**SOAPBOX OFF**

Aside from that I liked the characters and the show in general.
Hopefully, the network CEO's are wrong and everyone will realize that 
this show is fantasy, not history, as we all have here.

Whew!  That makes me feel better.

Well, I didn't care for it much either, but certainly not for the reason
you give.

Their whole point is that no one has any idea -what- goes on in the head of
an autistic person (or child).  So it's as likely he's imagining all
the things you mention above as it is that he's imaging the color green. 

I think it's interesting that of all the "flights of fancy" the series
offered over the years, this is the one that bugged people the most.

On a happier note, I thought it was touching that Eric Laneuville thanked
the creators of St. Elsewhere during his acceptance speech for giving him 
his start as a director.

Who wrote that crap?  Even Tim Allen (who I like) ended up

I should state that I missed the early part of the program.

Has anyone ever seen anyone 'Thunderbirding'? We get an occasional instance 
of it on Australian comedies of the variety similar to Saturday Night Live.
Basically the person improvising needs to walk similar to a puppet, usually 
taking on the character of one of the Thunderbirds. They have this 
particular sort of head-jiggle that is remarkably distinctive and it is 
wholly hilarious to watch. Particularly when they try to do something like 
sit down, stand up, or drink something... The tv show was a science fiction 
piece where the Thunderbirds were members of a team called "International 
Rescue", had a variety spacecraft and other nifty (very plastic) 
transportation. Its not Star Trek, but its amusing..

NEWS FLASH: We won't get to see the first season episode again. I talked with
the folks at Comedy Central in New York at 11:50a PDT on Thursday, August
27th, enquiring after seeing the post by Debbie Brown that showed that the
Friday (actually Saturday) at 12:30a showing will begin with "Rocketship X-M"
(first episode of 2nd CC season) instead of "The Crawling Eye" (first episode
of 1st CC season). The guy on the phone told be that those episodes will
"never, ever be shown on Comedy Central again." It has something to do with
the contract with Best Brains, Inc., and was due in part to BB's feeling that
those were not quality episodes, and that they had less jokes than the second
season on.

I was told by one of my teachers in junior high that Chrysler had to 
terminate that early-Seventies ad campaign for Dodge featuring the 
redneck Southern cop ("You're in a *heap* o'trouble!") after reciveing 
protests and boycott threats from law enforcement agencies.  

Another one that I really liked was the one for Wendy's with the theme
of a Soviet fashion show ("Evening clothes!").  This was supposedly
pulled because of a diplomatic protest from the Soviets, although I
never read anything about it in the papers.
