A friend of mine is writing a QL story, and wants to make a mention
of Al's third wife in it...Trouble is, when we tried to figure out
which wife that was, we ran into some problems...

The FAQL lists Ruthie as Al's third wife, with Sharon being the
fourth (or am I not remembering correctly?). "Honeymoon Express"
would seem to support this -- I don't have the exact quote, but
when Al is trying to remember which honeymoons he had at Niagra
Falls, he mentions that Sharon was his fourth wife.

However, in "The Great Spontini," he says that she was his third.
("I remember my third -- fourth -- third -- third wife Sharon and I
-- we fought for over eight months over Chester.")

So, which one was it? Is there any evidence in other episodes that
would support one or the other? Yeah, I know, DITTC, but she's
trying to be careful with her story...

His sister's name was Trudy, but that was a nice idea.  It would
have been great.  Could Lisa be either one of Al's wives (do we
know that names of ALL of them) or perhaps his child?  After all,
he must have at least _one_ kid running around somewhere.

I hate to admit that I used to watch Fantasy Island, but I did.  And I
am pretty sure that I read some years ago that Herve Villeichaize
(sp?) (otherwise known as Tatoo) had died.  But lately in Boston I
have seen some Dunkin Donuts commercials which look pretty current and
which feature Vill. . .  .Tatoo.  It doesn't look like they edited him
into commericals from old Fantasy Island footage either.  What's the
scoop?  Am I wrong about his having died?  Will anyone admit to
knowing?

What do you expect in a survey from such an "objective" group as the
American Family Association. :-) You notice that there are no Jews, Muslims,
or other non-Christians mentioned. Apparently, the AFA considers all 
non-Christians to have no religion. 

Personally, I feel that a person's religion is a personal and private thing
and it really does not need to be discussed in public to prove that it exists.
I really don't think it is necessary to attend an organized religious
ceremony to show that one is religious. Sometimes it is easier to get closer
to G-d on a one-to-one basis than by going through a priest, preacher, rabbi,
etc.

Well, Jack Burns (of Burns and Scheiber, an old comedy team) was the 
producer (I think -- anyway, he was largely responsible for what went on,
on the air).  During one show, Andy Kaufman got out of control on stage and,
I think, Burns actually came out an slugged him, or tried to.  Maybe
somebody remembers a little more clearly than this.  Anyway, things got
out of control.

They had a great trio of Three-Stooges impersonators.  And I well remember
a musical satire on Iranian politics based on the Marx Brothers' "Duck
Soup," with Groucho as President Bani Sadir.  Wish I had a tape machine, back
then.

As I remember, though, this series started strong and then went downhill
fairly quickly.  Only lasted a couple of years.

	Did anybody catch Sean Patrick Flannery on "The Dennis Miller

sort of a pompador, and he was wearing a black T-shirt, white pants, and
black combat boots.  He kept calling Dennis "daddy"...I guess he thought
he was a beatnik, or a bohemian...

	The good news is that he announced that the show "The Young Indiana
Jones Chronicles" has been picked up again!  He said that 17 episodes have been 
filmed, in eleven different countries.  They will begin working on the series
again in late spring.  Rather than the usual one week to film one episode, this
show usually takes four weeks to film a single episode.  I, for one, am very
glad this excellent series was renewed!!!

From timt to time I post up funny closed caption goofs, particularly from

ABC World News Tonight was reporting on the bombing in London's
financial district that happened after the recent elections.  As Peter
Jennings reported that the Irish Republican Army was responsible, the closed
captioning told the real story.  The captions reported that the Internal 
Revenue Service was responsible.  Hey, it was a bomb in the financial
district afterall.

I remember 'Jason'.  His home was on this huge spaceship that looked

it was a spinoff of another Saturday morning space show...

He's absolutely right.

Look, most new groups are started when the people who like the {show,
computer, sport, etc.} want one and start it themselves.

In this case, it's constantly that OTHER people are trying to MAKE us
Leapers go off into our own group, even though we have repeatedly said

That's some of it.

Look -- we don't want to go. Please respect our wishes and our personal
freedoms as net.people and don't force us to.

Besides which, the QL traffic is usually at a reasonable level until
someone brings this topic up again. Ignore us and we're fairly quiet. And
the traffic now is much less than it was the last time the CFV went out, so
I'd say it has even less chance of passing.

I think the issue is still in the courts as far as the TV news people are 
concerned.  They claim they are just trying to inform the public, but
they're obviously hoping people will be grossed-out into opposing
capital punishment.  I think they're wrong, given the level of screen 
violence people have become inured to. 

This Fox thing a standard TV movie about a condemned prisoner who takes a TV 
crew hostage at the last second.  Fox is hoping for a kind of 
"War of the Worlds" phenomenon -- i.e.  people will tune in and think
that it's a live broadcast of a real hostage situation on death row.

I remember seeing something in a PENTHOUSE Magazine a few years ago (this was
at a friend's place, so NO, I don't have the issue!).  There was some ad for
nude photos of Brook Shields when she was a child.  They had tiny reproductions
of the photos; she looked about 12.  They wanted something outrageous for
high-quality prints, and something like $50 for a regular photo.  There
were four pictures.  That's about all I remember.
