Mike, You're giving away the plot to my GURPS Time-Walker campaign!  The
campaign's home year is 2242 and it's Tech Level 8 (Space-faring).  When
one of the players asked how come it wasn't TL9 (Star-faring), I looked at
him, smiled and said, "J. Danforth Quayle, The Millenium President"  Every
now and then, I threaten to send them on a mission back to 1992, to change
the results of the election so that George wins "like he's supposed to."

I totally agree that MST3K is the BEST program that tv has to offer.
It is constantly improving itself and remains a beacon in the
regular grungy pit of despair that most television programs have fallen
into.  It really is one of the few shows on today that can generate a
real laugh.  Joel is basically an individual with an incredible
creative mind.

You're right.  I just got to see this recently, too.
The character was not the reflective or communicative type, though,
& his relationship to the next leapee wasn't very friendly...

I'm glad *some* folks finally have the correct facts on Ghoulardi.

I remember Queen of Outer Space and Cyclops.  Ghoulardi showed up in
the corner - yelling "Hey, hide over here in this cave" and guess what,
in the NEXT scene the character would say "Look, a cave!"

But any discussion of E.A. would be incomplete without the Parma Socks
story. I always heard that it came about because he got a speeding
ticket in Amrap, and the cop was rude to him. Any confirmation?

 Well the same thing went on here in Colorado and the ads were probably the 
exact same ones you saw since they were provided to all candidates for
this party. 

There were two court cases filed over the ads and both lost in that
they could not block the ads from being run altogther since they
were for "federal races". However one judge ruled that tv stations had
to show them but they didn't have to show them during prime time and could
run a disclaimer. So every station but one ran them late at night with a big
disclaimer before the ad ran. The candidate Matt Noah threatened to sue but
I never heard anything more about it. 

He got a whopping 4% of the vote. 

BTW if I remember the people filed on the ground that the ads were obscene.

I'm a big fan of Brooklyn Bridge as is my family, and I was worried that
it would be cancelled because the ratings were so bad. In fact, I was
surprised it got picked up for a second season.

Although I haven't heard anything about it being cancelled, the logical
thing to do is write a letter to CBS. Does anyone out there know who is
in charge of CBS programming and what his/her address is?

Kathy Baker was in CLEAN & SOBER opposite Michael Keaton. She played an

As a matter of fact, I think the acting of the entire "Picket Fences" cast

Well, I'm pretty sure it was George Washington, *Thomas* Jefferson,
