That's not the point. I remember when the Pixies were on. I knew what would
happen and it did. The *Pixies* didn't play. It was The World's Most Danger-
ous Band covering a pixies song. Kim deal was playing an unplugged acoustic
and Dave Levering got to play with brushes and one little cymbal.

Will and Anton NEVER let people use their(?) stuff - so you NEVER get to see
ANY band play as a whole - as they would sound (sort of) in concert.

That is one of the things that I loved about Miller.

   A slight correction. The series included a character named Montgomery,
but this Montgomery never showed any of the angst and homosexuality of his
namesake from the movie. The actors were also different. I believe P.R.
Paul played in the series, not the movie.

   C.J. is an admitted bisexual.  She was quite open about this with Abby.
Another story involved a custody case that C.J.'s former female lover was
having. Near the end of the season, C.J. started getting quite chummy with
a blind male attorney.

	Sorry, but the arrow-through-the-gas-jey thing was clearly mentioned
many times both before and since the event.  Besides, I don't see how this
detracts from the drama.  I knew and was still holding my breath.  I KNOW
an expect archer can hit nearly anything, but there's always that chance...
Besides, the will he/won't he bit was a fairly insignificant aspect.  The
whole point was it LOOKED great.

Actually, I agree that sports such as soccer (or football as most of the world
calls it), tennis and baseball shouldn't be in the Olympics. These sports
already have their "world championship" tournaments, such as the World Cup for
soccer and Wimbledon/US/French/Australian Opens for tennis. It seems strange to
see huge money earners such as Andre Agassi marching in the opening ceremony
with the rest of the Olympic athletes, who have to scrimp and save in most
cases just to get to this competition.

It just doesn't fell right to me. Anybody else agree?

If you closely watched the lighting of the torch at the Winter Olympics in

ball of flame that shot up from a podium in the stadium to the top of the
torch.  If you watch closely, you'll notice that the torch ignites about
a half a second before the ball of flame arrived.

There was a Murphy Brown episode where they introduced a gay
character.  It was one of the funniest shows I have ever seen.  They
did all sorts of things to this guy to test if he was gay.  Miles had
to work with him and was afraid that he (Miles) might be gay because
of this dream he had were he and the new guy were frolicking in the
reflection pool in front of the Washington Monument and then they shot
out of it.  The gay character assured Miles that he wasn't his type
and Miles was so crushed that the gay guy wasn't attracted to him.

Then the guy asked Miles if Frank was gay because of friend of his had
a "thing" for Frank.  Truly hysterical!!

I don't know if we saw the same film clip as you, but when we

I think the entire coverage stinks.  If you cut out the commercials you'd 
have about an hour of true coverage.  Besides the commercials on the 
east coast  there's an ad for New York that's like a documentary on top
of the commercials!  I know, I know, pay for PPV.  Who cares what these people
did when they were 3?  All of these athletes worked their butts off to get
here!  Who wants to see a rock video of two swimmers who didn't even medal?
How do these interviewers think these people feel when they choke?  And the interviewers who ask some of them 'How do you feel getting *only* a silver and not 
  gold!?!?!

Also I love it that they'll say 'well it's obvious so and so's going to win
and we'll come back if there's anything *we* think you need to know'.  
How thoughtful!
 
I usually like the bio's on the athletes, but for some reason this year
the coverage is different than previously.

Thanx for letting me ramble.

"The Night Strangler" came before the series and after the original movie.
I don't recall any of the regulars of the series being involved with 
"Strangler". (It's possible the editor was the same.) I think it was 
at least a year between the first showing of "Strangler" and the beginning
of the series.

 Yep, thats what discouraged me too. I don't get home until 6pm so
why pay for what I missed? Also I don't know what genius thought
up this idea, but when you watch one channel, the other 2 are going
to waste. You can't watch all 3 channels at the same time, so why
pay for them. I wish you could just call the cable company and
order the color channel you want for that day for $9.99. Then I think

He played an old friend of Rebecca's who, unbeknownst to her,
