They don't have much on the air nowadays, though, do they?  I can
only think of Evening Shade and The New WKRP in Cincinnati.  I
think MTM lost a lot of its lustre after Mary Tyler Moore sold her
portion of the company.  On the other hand, it did leave her (deservedly,
in my opinion) one of the wealthiest women in television.

It was spelled "Gooshie" in the first episode credits, however in the
more recent scripts it is spelled "Gushie."  I think it's just a matter
of personal preference.  I want to know where the nickname came from.  It
has to be short for something, doesn't it?

Add me to the list of _WNN_ fans who have gone public.  It's the wittiest
presentation of the news since the late, great _NBC News Overnight_.  Aaron
Brown and Lisa McRee are, without a doubt, worthy latter-day successors to the
inimitable Lloyd Dobyns and Linda Ellerbee.

+ There's a title that is eluding me.  The plot is about drinking lots of
malts, helping Chip at the pharmacy, and standing in front of Chip.

+ I cannot figure out the name of the show about bacon fires.

+ I have only seen the ones from 1988 to present.  Are there older ones?

Well, the filmakers have property rights in the film. They have the right
to do whatever they want with the film, subject to applicable laws. By making 
a deal (if they did) with Wildmon, they gave him part of their rights to the
film. What they had left was  the right to do whatever they want with the film
(subject to applicable laws) minus the right to show it in this country. If 
they conveyed their property in the film to PBS, they could only convey
THEIR rights to the film, not Wildmon's. So PBS would be bound by the deal.

I'll try.  This probably isn't exact, but it's embarrassingly close:

Opening theme:
Let me tell ya' the story of a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed
And then one day he was shootin' at some food
And up from the ground came a-bubblin' crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea

Well the next thing ya' know, ol' Jed's a millionaire
The kin folk said , "Jed, move away from there."
They said, "Californee is the place you oughta be."
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.

Hills that is, swimmin' pools, movie stars

THE BEVERLY HILLBILLY'S!!!

<banjo solo>

Closing theme:

Now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin
He'd like to thank you folks for kindly droppin' in
You're all invited back next week to this locality
To have a heapin' helpin' of our hospitality

Set a spell
Take yer shoes off
Y'all come back now, y'hear.

You know, I can just see it. Sam leaps into Ronald Reagan as President. The 
time period: The Iran Contra hearings and the Oliver North trial. Sam says
"Oh boy" as he heads for the witness stand. They ask him if he remembers
a certain situation. He, of course, says he doesn't remember saying that or
being there or signing anything.

Nah. It sounds too far-fetched.

I'm sure this probably should go to a different newsgroup, but

We finally had a chance to watch the award ceremony for the

when he sees himself.  What a sourpuss (IMHO)!!!!  He should have been
ecstatic being on a team with those guys!!  He never smiled once
during the award presentation or during the camera shots afterwards.
I didn't care much  for him during the college playoffs (personality-

Well, I was looking through the TV Guide the other night, and noticed
that WBZ TV 4 in Boston showed the Blossom season premiere at 3am on
Sunday morning!!! I would not think that this is "prime viewing time".
Can't the networks force their affiliates to show the shows during prime
time? And why would WBZ show this at this time? (Channel 10 in Rhode
Island showed it at the correct time, but since I get cable, I only get
Channel 4). 

Any insight into this matter would be appreciated.

Is there anyone out there with advice on how to get a cable company
to add channels?

I've written three letters, so far, to my local cable company.
I've been requesting that they add the Comedy Channel and the
Science fiction channel (when it starts). Now, I'm not expecting
them to start those channels immediately. But, I have
yet to receive even a form letter, even when i request
a response in my letters! 

So, what do I do? Make my letters nastier? (I'd rather not 
do that.) Write to the parent company? (Anyone know how to contact
at Storer Communications?) Threaten to cancel my subscription?
(I'm not going to follow through on that, my reception is
otherwise crummy) Make personal phone calls? (Not likely
to ever talk to anyone important)

The posting you're replying to was posted to several newsgroups.  Which
groups do you think are inappropriate?  I certainly hope you don't mean
rec.arts.tv -- this group has successfully avoided all efforts to narrow
its focus (much to its benefit, IMHO).  If you were referring to to the
posting placement in one of the more narrowly focused groups that's
certainly a matter that can be addressed inside those groups, but it might
have been better to edit the newsgroup line to reflect the group or
groups you meant. This isn't meant to be a flame, and I hope it isn't
taken as such, because I know it's easy to reply without really noticing
the various crosspostings.

I've actually enjoyed the postings, but only partly for the information.  I
really get a kick out of reading Straczynski's frantic prose.  I used
his book in my scriptwriting class for a couple of terms, and it
occurred to me then that he wouldn't have much to say if it weren't for
adjectives and a healthy self-image.  Nice to see he hasn't changed
much.  It's not a bad book, by the way, especially if you consider that
no one's really had anything new to say on the topic since Aristotle
wrote "Poetics."  There's some practical information in it and he chose
some pretty good war stories.  If you like the "Babylon 5" postings,
you'd probably like the book.

I really liked last nights episode of Forever Knight.  The humor was
great.  I like the saying: blood is thicker than water, and it tastes
better, too.  According to Jeannette, that must be a matter of taste.

The only thing that is bothering me is that I wish they would do better
than yellow light played across the eyes, and repeats of snarling vampires.
I'm not saying they have to put more money into the effects, but there
has to be something better than this.  I guess I've seen too many vampire
movies.

(Julian Sands will be good in that new vampire movie.)

The give and take between Nick and Natalie is excellent.  It's obvious
they are good friends.

Anyway, that's my $20 worth.
