Calm down, don't worry.  It's time for re-runs and they usually end up
subbing some movie instead of showing a QL re-run.  Kind of annoying
for those of us who actually like to watch the re-runs.

Seeing the "Kids In The Hall" postings reminds me ...

A while back someone mentioned putting together an episode guide for
the Kids. Did this ever happen? I'd love to have one, 'cause I'm thinking
about taping as many of the KITH shows as I can.

Another annoying question ... Are the CBS shows new? Our local affiliate
doesn't carry it, so I've never seen it. I was under the impression the CBS
shows were going to be repackages of the previous shows. Is that the case?

        Thanks.

  A point well made, Gordon, concerning my poll. The original
strategy was to get more support for Kellie Martin, who as you
all know is my sparkly-eyed, silky-haired, supple-lipped,
shapely-legged teenage gourmet jellybean. Instead, it has led 
to support for others. But it has also buoyed other actresses
left off the update. (Gordon Wong, "Life Goes On" fan that he is,
mentioned to me that my updates on the poll would influence
the poll itself.)  :)

This is an incredibly elitist, snobbish and obnoxious statement. Think about
what you're saying. You compare watching Public TV, which was created as
a free tax-supported medium to PAY-PER-VIEW. What's the point of PBS if
only those people who can afford it can watch? The whole idea was to expose
people to programs that no-one would privately subsidize. If PBS is going
to be tied to private support then what makes it any different than HBO?

If I was offended I didn't imagine it. You may not have been.
Which may be ok for you. I was offended and I didn't have to
look very hard to be offended.

Don't you ever wonder why you see certain things as you do on TV?
Is there a perfectly good reason why we'd never see a black man would
sell a white woman a car? There are black men salespeople, and white
women customers who buy automobiles. Why can't a black male salesperson
sell a car to white woman on national TV?

Or is it that you think that not one part of the situation could take
place? A woman couldn't buy a car on her own, let alone buy it from
a black salesperson? 

Evidently someone was offended because Saturn doesn't run that commercial
anymore...

Could someone who happened to see it e-mail me the "Winning Official Word"
that was supposed to have been announced on a Duracell commercial sometime
between 8:30 - 9PM EST Sunday Dec 20th on ABC? This is for a contest where
the entry form is in TV Guide. However, in either a calculated move to 
reduce the number of winners, or a fit of bonehead stupidity, this
contest announcement and entry form was bound in the TV Guide in the 
middle of the MONDAY, 21 Dec. section! So unless you perused the TV Guide
in advance, you wouldn't know about the contest until it was over...

Thanks much!

I'll post a summary response... (I did scan the newsgroup for the
string "duracell" before posting this, and found nothing, but the Internet
connection to the place I can read news died while I was checking for
"Rudolph" and so I hope this is not a duplication of an already-discussed

> pessimistic..

Well, let's face facts here... Quantum leap has been ranked in the
Nielsons below 70 (around 75) for the past few weeks. It's been as low
as 79th in the week. This is way below last year's average. The time
shift is probably the factor. ABC Comedys and Rescue 911 are
DESTROYING Quantum Leap in the ratings. (They are top 30 if I recall) 

It is almost impossible to get the energy to make the proposal that QL
will be back in light of the ratings. You know things are bad when
Ross Perot gets better ratings than Quantum Leap.

As optimistic as Don or NBC may seem now, I would MUCH rather say at
this time that QL will probably end this season based on the numbers,
unless the ratings get back in the 50's at minimum.

Here's one last hope of a new season: Universal is starting their own
network. If they pick up Quantum Leap and show it Wednesday's at 10,
it could WIN the timeslot, or at least be more competative, because the
competition is similar: 48 hours, Law & Order, Civil Wars.

Unless things improve, I would rather be pessamistic than optimistic
and saying 'Gee, I REALLY thought it would be renewed.' I would rather
be suprised than feel dumb in light of the current ratings.

   Murphy Brown has had a serious decline in quality this season, IMHO.
   Home Improvement is a typical sitcom, with a good lead, but little
   more. Law & Order should be up around No.1 or 2.

  After hearing so much about TV crushes, I figured, what the
hell, let's see which girls/women steal more hearts. Rules are
simple:
  1. E-mail me your list of the ten women on Tv that you like/
LOVE the most.
  2. The woman with the #1 ranking on this list of 10 will get
10 points, #2 gets 9, and so on.
  3. I am quite aware that hostesses, not actresses, will get
a lot of votes (examples: Vanna White, Cindy Crawford of MTV,
Leeze Gibbons of Entertainment Tonight). Rule #2 does not
apply to them because they got their jobs from beauty, not hard
work. Any hostess with a #1 gets 5 points, #2 gets 4.5, and so
on.
  4. Incomplete lists (e.g. Top 5's) are OK.
  5. Multiple entries are not OK. So don't even think about it.
  6. I will try to tabulate final results about 12:01 a.m. on
January 2, 1993. Any entries received after that are void. 
  My own Top Ten list will be completed later. But because I'll
be seeing your votes, you can see mine:

1. KELLIE MARTIN, Life Goes On  :)  :)  :)
2. Markie Post, Hearts Afire
3-10 to be determined later in posted messages. :I

Have fun! That is all.

I would normally offer my tape here, but I unfortunately discovered
this Friday that I DON'T EVEN GET WPIX!!!  For some reason, my local
TV guide lists it anyway.  I guess there must a cable company outside
the city that carries this.  Sorry.

However, I have noticed in the past that when movies like this are
carried on one station, they sometimes appear on several
stations within a few weeks (must be some syndication thing)
... I remember that Down and Out in Beverly Hills was on 3 channels
within 10 days a while ago. So... keep checking your guides for 
the long version of Dune (WPIX's was 3 hours with commercials).

In a previous article, robs@informix.com (Robert Schneider) says:
>*  All criminals have big meetings/payoffs in warehouses

Aha! the "warehouse" phenomenon:

All cities have many perfectly sound and usable empty and deserted warehouses.

These warehouses are available for perfectly secure storage and use as factories
by drug dealers and maniacs collecting arms to conquer the world.

No thief ever comes into these unlocked "abandoned" warehouses to steal
the stuff left there by these aforementioned people, even if it is
incredibly stealable and sellable stuff like drugs or weapons.

Nobody ever locks their "abandoned" warehouses.

Dirty and debris-strewn abandoned warehouses abound near docks, and are used for
indoor car chases. (Corollary = there are always streets or access roads
leading directly to the nearest ocean, lake, or river, for easy driving into.)

No police ever investigate the constant use and activity going on
in "abandoned" warehouses.

*****

And here's something else:

Trash is only collected immediately after something vital or irreplaceable is
thrown in it. A building's dumpster is always collected/emptied by the
trash-haulers immediately after the building's janitors pitch the trash in it.

   I remember when Hoss lost his bride-to-be (some sort of terminal

the dust... 

   Lest we forget one of the biggies: when Vincent lost Catherine on 
"Beauty and the Beast". She died hard, too (mad scientist-administered drug 
overdose; crawled to rooftop only to see archvillain helicopter away with 
their baby, and to die in Vinnie's arms). 

   The episodes after her death, unfortunately, were the best of the series 
- some amazing stuff. Anybody remember the name of the female lead after 
Linda "Tough Enuf" Hamilton? Jo Anderson? Zow.
