Well, there are some people who can't get any of the alt.* groups
(if the QL group were to go on the alt.* group). 

Besides, QL doesn't generate so much posts that it would annoy so
many people.  Also, most of the personal talk has been taken to

You have to go to Paramount Studios on the day of taping (Tuesdays) in
the morning to line up for tickets. It's the same lineup as for Arsenio
Hall so it gets kind of long. I was at a conference in Anaheim and had
to get up at 5.00 and was there by 5.45 am. The office opened at 8.00.
I got ticket number 33. There are 225 seats on the set but *many* of those
go to the guest list from the cast and crew. I would say that about half
of the people who got tickets in the morning should up in the evening
and numbers up to around 40 or 50 got in to the show. This is not to
say that higher numbers don't get in on some nights --- it just depends.
Anyway, seeing a show taped is well worth it.

I'm not sure why they didn't include Jewish characters in their list.  I
don't know if it was CT not including it in the list (intentionally or 
inadvertently), or if the researchers did not log the characters.  This
was just a brief summary of research done by people independently of CT.
It was not a full length article.

No this was all that was listed.  I don't have the article in front of me,
but I don't think the new-ager/cult classification was very large.

The article is not clear, but I would surmise that what was meant was that the 
characters never demonstrated participation in a particular religion. I don't 
think it was the intention of the researchers to say that the characters could  not be involved in a religion, but that they did not do anything that would   
allow a viewer to determine what his religious views were. (Whether that is an  appropriate thing for the writers to reveal is an issue I would rather steer
clear of).

I'm 75% sure that the current schedule of WLIIA is weekdays 11:30 am and
6:00 pm.  Whether it's the same episode both times or not I don't know.
Unfortunately, Comedy Central moves this show around constantly.  It
used to be on at 2 or 3 in the morning.  Your best bet is to just keep
watching the ads to see when it's going to pop up next. :) Oh, the above
times are Eastern.  

The show is discussed occasionally on rec.arts.tv.uk and alt.comedy.
british.  It's been on since 1987 in the UK, airing on Channel 4 there.
I believe it used to be a radio show before that.  Clive Anderson, the
host, also has a talk show in England called "Clive Anderson Talks
Back."  Most of the guests are quite famous in England.  Mike McShane
and Sandi Toksvig are currently on a sitcom called "The Big One," which
is supposedly very funny.  Mike was also Friar Tuck in "Prince of
Thieves."  I just attended four tapings of the show here in New York 
about 1 1/2 months ago, so the show is still going strong.

While it would be amusing to some, I am not entirely sure how widespread
the character recognition would be.  Oh, sure. perhaps 85% of the people

So am I.  A musician friend of mine was rather dismayed when he'd heard
that Marsalis had "sold out".  Personally, I think it's a great career
move.  Marsalis obviously took a shine to the spotlight shone on him during
Sting's tour, exposure he could never get as a serious jazz musician.  He's
got a great personality, and he's also a great player/musician.  One could
only assume that he'll assemble a great band.

I heard that he had built some condos in California and that they were
built for little people, the sinks and counters were lower etc. and he
would allow little people to move in and live without paying rent....

MY FRIENDS AND I HERE AT COLLEGE HAVE BEEN WATCHING ABOUT SIX EPISODES OF THE
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE SERIES THAT WAS ON TV IN 1988 OR 89.  ONE OF THE GUYS HERE
HAD TAPED THEM WHEN THEY WERE ON.  WE ARE INTERESTED IN FINDING ALL OF THE
EPISODES OF THE NEW SERIES ON TAPE. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION OR COULD HELP
US GET THESE IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.  THANKS.
