God willing.

I second this opinion.  If someone gave me a description of the changes
they've made to Doyle's story on paper, I would be appalled; but having seen
the adaptations themselves, I'm not even disturbed by them.  They've done an
absolutely brilliant job of knowing where to step off the line set by ACD;
and have on several occasions come out with a work that is superior to the
original canon, IMO -- which is damn near blasphemy, coming from me.

Of course, a lot of Doyle's output after Holmes popped up in "The Adventure
of The Empty House" was sub-standard; and I think that's where most of the
changes have occurred.

>Pity they botched Hound of the Baskervilles, though.

They sure did.  Luckily, the Rathbone version of HofB is his best, and while
still slightly campy, Bruce doesn't come off as the total buffoon he
portrayed in later films.  

I just hope they a) decide to do the VALLEY OF FEAR (IMO, the best
post-Reichenbach Holmes story to come out), and b) they do it right.

	A while back I posted a message about MCA records coming out with a

any more.. Ah well..) that will contain music from Northern Exposure like the
theme song and music from KBHR.. And I assume some backround stuff that they

Hey --
	Does anyone know if _Human Target_ was picked up by ABC for the Fall?
The "last show in the series" (accd to TVG) aired tonight (08.29.92).
	It featured one of those "main-character-redeemed-by-romance" endings,
so I ambivalently fear that this may be it.  (I say "ambivalently" because
tho' I was intrigued by the first few episodes, the weekly execution of the

The blonde girl is Charlotte Ross and she was on Days of Our Lives.  She was
amazing on the soap. I think it was a lousy script (for her anyway).  I think
they should have given a little insight to all the characters instead of just
focusing on Dizzy and Rita.  Didn't hear much from or about the keyboard
player and he looks like he might be a pretty fun character.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the sax player's boyfriend play in the
season ender of Quantum Leap.  He played Al in his younger years, I think.

I am almost positive that Bill Cosby wore that as a tribute to Sammy

    Well, since the proposed time slot is saturdays at 8 (aka Time Slot
of Death #1) I think a lot of people will be doing other things during
that hour. But on the other hand, if you don't mind watching a normal
nightime drama/soap Covington Cross does have the advantage of the
different setting so perhaps we will get a slightly different take on
some of the old standard plots for these types of shows. Who knows? I
still think it was a fairly fun hour, and the pacing was pretty good
too.

The chicken hawk's name is Henery Hawk.  Also, Chip and Dale are Disney

	These last few are from Hanna-Barbera, who made far too many

I hate to tell you but sociologically-speaking the baby boom generation
includes people who are currently as young as 29, if I remember correctly.

I think it would be more appropriate to say MA is for those in their Middle Ages :-)

I'm almost certain that line is "Through the courtesy of friends you meet".

I didn't think they were too bad, but I was flipping channels like a
madman for most of it.  Alot of the standup comedy seemed really
forced, though.  Jerry Seinfeld's bit was funny, but it didn't really
fit in with the rest of the show.

Quite a few things actually.  The best was probably: "Award shows
can't get cancelled, can they?" early on in the show.
