J-P's costume are the ONLY good thing about "Somewhere in Time". The time
travel premise it uses is so unbelievable. Maybe it's just the c**p acting
by Christopher Reeve but then what can you expect from a man who wears his
shorts OVER his pants.

QL's time travel is at least believe because of it's use of a mechanical
aid rather than (no I wont spoil SiT it's already spoilt :-)) [Trevor

And BBC schedulers and purchase programmes department you are going to buy

Pygmalian could refer to the way the bosses (really annoying)
wife was trying to remake Riegert.  Python?  Didn't they refer
to their 40 something group as the bulge in the baby boom,
like a meal in a python?

BTW - isn't Riegert charater showing a real lack of sense.  I
 mean when the boss's wife called and said she took pills he
 should just have called an ambulance and let her deal with them.
 And when she said she only took aspirin - if it was me I'd have

Also - they made SUCH a big deal about his "transformation" and
it was nothing. So the suit was a little on the clown side - big

Subject: RD: Reasonable Doubts "season finale?", episode 19?
Organization: Raytheon Equipment Division, Marlboro, MA
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 1992 16:58:32 GMT

Hey, I liked last night's episode of RD!  I found the comic relief
of the chicken saga very funny.  I also liked the fact that they
showed another interpreter in action.  Hurrah for professional
interpreters!  (She seemed to be an interpreter, not a 'translator'
as the gambling addicted lawyer wanted to keep calling her.)

Anyway, someone posted that this was episode 19, and not meant to
be the season finale?  Did I catch that right?  It certainly made
a more appropriate season finale than the Zambro-defends-the-killer-
for-a-buck episode.  No more Sean?  How sad.  I still think he 
should stick around and date Kay.  They'd make a good couple.

Also, Gold mentioned something about the "Novak" ("Kovak?") case
where he apologized publicly for putting politics ahead of people
and justice?  What was he referring to?  Is this another episode
that didn't appear in my area or that I missed due to the musical
timeslots phenomenon that RD was subjected to?

Is next week the season premier?  Is it going to be in a stable
time slot?  Dare I program my VCR+ to record it weekly, or must
I input the magic number every week after a tedious hunt through
my TV This Week guide?

Anyone got any more ideas or hints about next season?

Is the lawyer that replaced the gambling addicted public defender
going to be a regular?  They seemed to set her up as if she might be.
Will Wendel be back?  Did Bruce seem contrite?  Or maybe he really
does have a 'friend'; now THAT would be a twist. How about Joe?  Does
she come back again?  Does she go through with meeting her son after
all these years?

     One of the stations I can get here takes the picture and shrinks
it down so that they can scroll the weather information along the
bottom of the screen.  Why can't they do it like they used to and just
superimpose the words over the picture.  It was not nearly as bad.
Also, whenever some sort of Network special is on and they are playing
the ending music(ABC in particular) the music goes off after about a
half a second and all you hear is "This is Charles Gibson and Joan

going to be and when they finish, the Network blanks out the rest of
the music anyway.  Is there ANY way we can stop this???

This morning's USA Today reports that a federa judge in Mississippi
has ruled that the anti-cehsorship documentary may be shown in 
the United States, despite the objections of Donald Wildmon.

Anyone who hasn't been reading about it might be interested in knowning
that Wildmon was interviewed for the documentary, and had filed suit
to prevent its showing here in the states.  Wildmon alleges that he had 
an agreement with the producers that the documentary about American 
censorship, 'Banned in the USA' would only be shown overseas.  Producers 
deny any such agreement.

I have a tape all ready for it too!  I wonder who he's going to try to
boycott NOW to keep this off the air.  This guy is making the US into a 
laughing stock (as if we needed his help).

I am on one of this lists somewhere. I can only speak for myself, but I
don't receive the USA channel, and will not get to see Genesis on Sunday
with the rest of you. These tapes are my only opportunity at this time,
until one of the independent stations pick up the show in syndication.
I can see how for most people it would be a waste of effort to continue,
but not for me, and any others who do not receive USA.

The actor's name is Barry Corbin.  He's been a character actor longer

remember him in are:

If memory serves me correctly, EMI stands for Eastern Microwave
{something}, and is the company that does the actual uplinking of the
WWOR signal.  Unlike WTBS, which handles the entire superstation
operation internally, WWOR contracts out the "national" side of its
business to EMI.  Further, I believe EMI sells ads that run only on the
national feed (though it all might be coordinated through the WWOR sales
dept., I'm not sure of the ins-and-outs up there).  Anyway, what I'm
sure about is when the new syndex rules kicked in, it was left to EMI to
"syndex-proof" the WWOR signal.  They had to go out and secure the
rights to alternative programs to "cover up" those WWOR programs that the
station only had local rights to.  If I recall the coverage at the time,
EMI and WWOR both kicked in the money for the secondary programming,
thus the name........

Anyone else notice that the actor's voices are dubbed? I would imagine
the original is in German (or Swiss-German) and they've exported the

But, you miss my point.  Sunday's version will most likely be cut for
inane syndication reasons.  The "chain letter" is still worth
continuing since it is *uncut*.

BTW, your net address is in NoCal, so we might be in the same region

The picture is quite convincing.  I don't know what Christina looks like naked,

I'd like to know exactly when that was. Remember when the President

just happened to think that drugs was the #1 problem in the U.S.?
It was the highest percentage ever to agree on the #1 problem in
the couple of decades that Gallup had being doing that poll.
It would be interesting to know if that TV program aired in the
same time period.
