I think that depends on the affiliate.  It's on at different times on
the two CBS affiliates that I have seen (Rochester and Buffalo).

The CBC is showing two episodes every Friday night at 11:00 (part of
their "adult" 10-12 programming.  From what I've seen, the first one
is new, and the second ep. is old.  I do like the segues between the
shows, though.

It's kind of strange, for the longest time the CBC wasn't showing any
KITH, and then over Xmas, I could watch two episodes every night.  I
guess I shouldn't complain.

Ok, I only saw the first two or three episodes, when I did have a tv
at my apartment.

I'd like to say something NOT Mainstream (about the show):
AM I THE ONLY ONE IN AMERICA THAT THINKS THAT THIS SHOW IS ONE
OF THE MOST subliminally RACIST PROGRAMS ON TELEVION!!
(excuse me, I just had to clear my throat)

first episode:
Raven's parents are killed in their sleep by japanese (asian male) ninjas.
Those sneaky japanese (asian male) ninjas are now out to infiltrate the
the United States (asian spies) in order to kill him and his missing son.

He graciously saves the life of a portly japanese business man, who later
betrays him (of course, they'll stab you in the back, even if your a friend
who saved a sneaky asian male's life).
Next he goes to the airport, so he can save the hot exotic asian daughter.
A group of thugs, the leader of which is an asian american male, try to 
kill the girl.  Raven handily dispatches the thugs, and saves the asian
girl from the nasty asian guy and his gang.

Then there is a final showdown, where he mercilessly kills all those
virile/masculine (and therefore threatening) japanese-asian male ninjas.
This was, of course, after the girl's father betrays Raven.

Not one adult asian male was portrayed as *Good*, ALL were typecast
into roles that are fiendish and evil. Duh. not too obvious here?

Something must be wrong with my senses, because nothing this racist, and
resentment-hate inspiring, could have been condoned and shown on 
mainstream, primetime television.  
It must have been a bad nightmare of 1991 & 1992,
about a flood of racist anti-asian male propoganda on TV, radio and movies.
(The other examples of which I shouldn't mention here.)

standard U.S. media portrayals of asian male heroes to evil villains,
	the ratio is : 1 to 100.
Racist stereotypes are more powerful, if they aren't spotted and recognized.

--jpark@rwja.umdnj.edu

disclaimer: pissed off at the silence, having an asian male face especially
NOT on the west coast, is politically incorrect.
further dislaimer: it was a fun action show, but does that make racism Ok?

Actually, you're thinking of two episodes.  The garbage ship was Sea Bride, 
and the bar was Play it Again, Seymour.  In Play it Again, Seymour, Sam says
something like his thinks from above the waist and doesn't look at things 
through the bottom of a bottle.

A question for those following CBC's Wednesday night showings of "Emilie" ...
last Wed's episode was pre-empted for some award show, and the blurb in the
paper for tonight's (the 6th) episode seems to imply that I've missed an
episode.  The last I saw, Emilie had called off the wedding with the school
district superintendant, while the today's episode is claimed to be one in
which Emilie and Ovilla (sp) make plans for their impending wedding.  Does
anyone know if CBC showed an episode outside the regular Wed night slot last
week, or if the TV Guide/paper are simply in error?  Any info would be
appreciated.

Cheers,
   Brad

Obviously this poster wasn't thinking very hard.

Take a 1 second break and look carefully at what the poster said.

OK, in case you didn't get it either...the poster watched the NYC NBC station.
That station is in the same building as NBC network operations.  That means
that they have a direct feed.  No satellite required.  It could be blown
out of the sky and NYC would still see NBC programming.

*"Da Bears" on Saturday Night Live

*after the former coach for those of you who were wondering.
*It will be interesting to see if they do a "Bears sketch" this Saturday.

 The Chicago Tribune ran an article about this the other day.
 Tentatively, there is a Ditka sketch set for thie Saturday night.
 However, they're not sure if it will make the final rehersal cut.
 The real interesting thing is that Ditka himself will be in New York
 on Saturday to appear as guest commentator on NBC's NFL LIVE. Will
 he make an appearance on SNL? Stay tuned...

 As for the origin of the sketch, it is a modified version of a old
 Second City sketch. George Wendt and company say that the characters
 are a conglomeration of a number of Chicago sports personalities
 including WLUP's Chet Coppack and WGN's Chuck Swirsky. The guys
 don't look like them or have that thick quasi-Chicago accent. In fact,
 there are not many people around here who talk like that. The 
 restaraunt is real. Ditka had three of them, but only one now remains.

Hello out there in Netland,

I read somewhere that there is a QL bookmarker of some sort.
I couldn't find any in my local bookstores(and they carried the
novel, and the calender). 

If this is true could somebody buy one and mail it to me?
I'll gladly pay for material + tax + shipping + trouble.
Thanks.

Incidentally my local Waldenbooks is selling all their calenders at 50%
off. It would be my guess that the whole chain is probably doing this.
So now it is time to get those QL calenders if you haven't already!!
I bought the last 3 in my store and I intend to give them to friends
who I am trying to get to watch QL.

These are one of my MAJOR pet peeves!  The whole idea of the

This was not "her" first special on NBC, there was one last year.
I found that special to be more enjoyable. I believe that band
leader was Ringo Starr. Robin Williams crashed her taping in
the disguise of a pizza man, making remarks to Ringo about 
never letting her sing again--of course confusing him with Paul,
and referring to Linda. George Hamilton was Damn Edna's neighbor.
I cannot remember the rest of the guests.
