Before I start bashing heads at the local cable company, I thought I'd
check with the rest of the world.  Was it just a local CBS fuckup or did the
sound keep going out on the conversation everywhere else as well?  I'd
estimate I missed about 1/4 of the conversation all told, especially in the
last 20 minutes of the show.  Made it somewhat difficult to follow the
story, doncha know.

I have a question as well.  Who was Kumiko?  I got the impression that she
was the slasher's daughter but I thought that he only had one son who had
died.  I had been thinking that perhaps it was his son doing the killing
and his death had been faked earlier.  Bzzzzt.  Wrong.  Oh, well.

Also, can someone tell me what Raven has tattoo'ed on his back?  I would
assume it was something put there when he was in the that secret society
(Black Dragon or something like that).  But I can't recall ever seeing a
clear shot of it.  I would also assume it is on his left shoulder since he
got his right one slashed up tonight.

Enough for now.  I'd appreciate hearing if anyone else out there had any
sound problems as well.  Thank you and good night.

-Jon

Anyone remember these cartoons from the early/mid 1960s or so?  Last
night I was reminiscing with my husband about this show, and
once I got thinking of it, I could not get the theme song with
the walking baseline out of my head.

I was also trying to remember some of the characters, and all I
could remember is the Frog.  Maybe someone out there can fill in
some details for a sentimental journey.

Now that I'm older and wordly, I assume this cartoon was sort of
a ripoff of Batman, since Courageous Cat drove what I guess was
a catmobile and lived in a cat cave.  Yes?  No?

According to TV Guide, "The Torkelsons" is being heavily modified and will
return under the name "Almost Home" on NBC.  It's not clear whether the new
will have anything in common with the original series other than characters.
Apparently the creator of the show, Michael Jacobs, is still involved.

Excerpts from the TV guide article:

"
Several promising shows that vanished over the past year stand ready to
take another shot at prime-time success.

...

"The Torkelsons", last season's earnest sitcom about a divored mom with
family values trying to raise her kids alone in Oklahoma, has been revamped
to attract urban viewers.  The result, "Almost Home" (NBC), plays like
"Upstairs, Downstairs" meets "Step by Step".

In "Almost", Millicent Torkelson (Connie Ray) loses her house and takes a
job as a nanny for an affluent, workaholic, liberal, single dad (Perry King)
in Seattle.  The materialistic urban kids clash with the Torkelson brood,
and Millie's at odds with her handsome employer's laissez-faire
child-rearing.  But will these opposites eventually attract?

For those who may not have seen it yet.




Play Ball has this wonderful scene with Sam and Al talking in the locker
room.  It goes something along the lines of (and this is from memory so
don't expect exact quotes):

Sam:  Do you rmember when we first met at the StarBright Project.  You were
beating up a vending machine with a hammer.

Al: Well, it ate my dime.

Sam: You were drunk and angry.  They were trying to wash you out of the
Project but I saw someone under all that booze and anger that I could
admire.

If someone wants to find exact quotes, I'm sure they'd be welcome, but
that's the general gist of the conversation.

Hi there,

I am particularly interested in the _long_ version of Dune. You know, 
the German video release was even shorter then the version I saw on
HBO in '86/'87: For instance, I miss the part where the guild navigators
are folding space when moving that tubular spaceship from Caladan to 
Arrakis. The xlation of the dialogs are diseastrous. Since NTSC and 
PAL/Secam are not compatible (hence, neither are video-tapes), I can 
only hope to find someone from a PAL/Secam country, who has got the 
long version and to whom I may send a tape for a copy... 
   Anyway, HBO showed an interesting documentation about the making
of the movie in the Mexican desert (it was, I think) back then.

Ironically, the show was aired during a pretty big snowstorm here in

Yes, there have been 4 series ("seasons" to us Yanks), I think.  The
most recent one just ended recently, and seemed to bring the show to
some sort of conclusion, so maybe it is planned to be the last.  (Or I
could be misinterpreting, and totally wrong.)

It is a little unusual in the US in being a sit-com made for cable tv
(there have been a *few* others).  This frees it from the usual
censorship restrictions of the main networks here, and often the show's
creators rather revel in that chance, and indulge in lots of flesh and
explicit langugage just because they can (I concede that it's also often
funny).  I mention this only because I remember a UK viewer posting a
question here a while back, wondering if such an abundance of F-words
was typical of US tv.  Hardly!!  :-)

Sorry, but this seems to be a common misconception.  The Star Trek 
series are in syndication so they may not be on a Fox affiliate 
everywhere.  In fact where I live the local ABC affiliate carries
ST:TNG and will be carrying Deep Space Nine.  In other words,
check your local listings . . .
   I just learned this morning that the regular time slot for
Deep Space Nine is apparently going to be Noon on Sundays for
my area.  I'd be surprised if that were true everywhere.

I think it *is* likely that the Fox affiliates will be carrying
Babylon 5 since I believe that is a Fox production.

Yes it is consistent with her character if you mean did she ever do
Broadway, etc. Several times in the shows history they have brought
up her past experience in the theatrical field. The problem, IMHO, is she is not
irresponsible enough to leave the baby behind to do a play. She has been 
selfish at times like we all are but she has sacrified for her family before, ex:
was bed ridden for most of her pregnancy so she would not miscarry keeping
her career at a stand still. Before anyone flames me, I am by no means saying
anyone should not stay home if they are PG and may lose the baby otherwise.
All  I am saying is that some people may have tried to figure out ways to keep
both going. Forgive me if my memory is sketchy on that season, I missed some
epsiodes that year. But she originally thought of an abortion until the episode where
the kid was like an angel to her in a dream type theme. She really felt a kinship
with him and I doubl she would want to leave him. Maybe she takes him with her.
