HINT!!

     Don't expect it to not happen again.  I can't speak for other
stations but I was working the pledge drive at my local PBS station
during that exact time.  And you know what 

It WORKED

The phones went WILD during that entire interview/pledge break period.
At a rough count, we had about 60% of the calls for the entire DAY
during those pledge breaks.  So if they manage to get almost 2/3 of
the calls for a DAY during an interview like that - you can probably
bet your sweet bippy that it won't be a one shot deal.  

>If they really was concerned about thier programing they wouldn't
hold
>the good stuff for the begathons.

>Just sign me as "Watching A&E during begathons" 

     Of course, since I was working (and it was CRAZY) I didn't get to
see the interview live - I have to record it, and I got to ff through
the entire thing.  

     I've noticed pledge breaks are less irritating after I've called
     in my pledge (I can then ignore the breaks without guilt)

and 

     pledge breaks are MUCH less irritating if you're working in the
     studio.

Well, Yes & no...

As far as humor goes, it is probably the best. Though, I would say
that there are also 'Dramatic' and 'Emotional' moments, which can't be
compared. Best moment in the emotional category is still the end of
MIA. Dramatically, 'Shock Theater'. 

Of course, thats my Humble Opinion.

  I can't say for sure, but I think push-button phones were indeed around
  prior to 1975. They came along in the early 60s but didn't become
  widespread until the late 70s.

I forgot to crosspost this:

Well, the plot was formulaic, but I thought they did a good job of
some character development for Tessa's character.  It's about time.
It seems that every other ep focuses on Richie's past.

While it's true that Richie barely appeared in "Mountain Men," there
really wasn't much character development in that ep for either Duncan
or Tessa.

minor spoiler



We now know that Duncan's shop cannot be the same as Connor's from the
movie (is it the same set?  I don't recall).  Two times during this
ep, it is revealed that the home city is not New York (never thought
it was, something didn't "feel" right).

Yea...  I saw about a 20 minute promotional feed from Paramount a few months 
ago for this show.  Lots of clips of "John and Leeza" doing various things,
interviewing stars, and talking about the show.  Leeza of course is always 
very nice, and well worth watching. :->   John of course is very lucky

This is fun.  The woman have their "crush" discussion on one thread, while
the men have theirs on another (well, I'll *assume* most of you are men,
just because, okay?).

However, I don't see any woman complaining about the men drooling while
a number of men have ragged on the women for just glimpsing at a man's
behind.  (That is *not* one of my favorite places to look on a man, but
neither is any other personal body part.  I'm not lying.  I like eyes.)

What about all the men I know who like Marina Sirtis from ST:TNG just 
because her breasts are big (and she's one of the few women on the show)?

I don't mind that, myself.  As long as I don't have men after *me* just 
because of my personal body parts, that is.

What the heck does this have to do with TV?  }B-D

Okay, what about those commercials that show all those scantily-clad women
(that has something to do with TV, although not SF)?  Even the commercials
directed at women have scantily-clad women in them (here in America where
commercialism is king--sorry, Elvis *is* dead!  }B-D ).  This makes women
believe that they *must* look that way and act that way.  (And, of course,
buying that product with the scantily-clad women will help you achieve
that look, according to the commercial.)

The women in TV shows (including SF ones) always look perfect (look at
the original _Star Trek_--Kirk always got the woman!).  The perfect-
looking woman and the perfect-looking man fight evil together to always
look perfect in the end.

*Sigh!*

How about using cable companies for funds-gathering?  They could make
PBS a premium channel but not scramble it and not REQUIRE payment. 
I'd gladly pay $5/month on my cable bill for PBS.  Maybe they could
even make the amount variable, with an 800 number that you can call
to raise or lower your contribution.  Short spots after good shows to
urge people to raise their payment.

The point would be that a single action by each viewer would result
in income for the indefinite future.  I get the equivalent of this
now, by using CheckFree to schedule an automatic yearly transfer from
my checking account to WETA.

If they truly believe your last statement then they will treat the ratings
as a general guideline, i.e., how many music programs to schedule v.
documentaries, etc. As it is (someone correct me here) I have a strong
feeling that they DO pay attention to ratings, otherwise they would
be faced with loss of viewership->loss of financing. Look at the 
sudden interest in Ken Burns's work after the success of THE CIVIL WAR.
Our affliates send out survey forms to assess viewers' interest. To
assume public stations don't care about ratings and that they pursue 
a purely balanced ideal is naive.

> I just fear that by providing a direct link between a program and the amount
> of money it raises might put the squeeze on programmers and producers.

Then worry about it now since it should be easy for them to purchase
the info from one of the ratings survey companies...

In the Wild West:

* Mirrors behind a bar will always be busted (usually with a whiskey bottle)

* All those horses....and never any manure seen.

* Saloon tables and chairs have got to be the weakest furniture ever made.

* Bandits have a high profile, you never know what the common folks do for
  a living.

* Sibling outlaws are more common than sibling lawmen.

* Sheriffs are either complete cowards...or brandish the only good gun in town.

* In an American western,usually if a bad guy is so bad, the hero will
  only wound the bad guy explaining to him that he isn't worth killing.
  In an Italian western, the bad guy will die a bloody; horrific;
  slow motion; wish he was never born death.

	. If you are in a car chase on a highway, all other vehicles
	  will stagger themselves nicely so you can weave past them.
	  Never will two cars ride next to each other, blocking your
	  passage.
