Don't you just hate it when Leno has a comic guest, and after their
little standup routine, he is utterly compelled to say "very funny,
very funny stuff".  Well, duh, Jay, either it is or it isn't (to me),
I give a shit what you think.  Say what you will, Dave is still the
best.

Speaking of Dave, after all this is his newsgroup, my favorite bit in
recent memory is Dave reminding us of the Cher Equal commercials,
where she says there's sugar, the pink stuff, and equal - but what is
"pink stuff"?  Cut to Paul pouring some Pepto-Bismol on a bowl of corn
flakes.

Quite true.  In one version there's a Hubble Space Telescope too.

Also, the VW bug is quite accurately done.  That is exactly what a
VW bug tumbling through space looks like, except that the headlight
beams probably aren't visible on real VW bugs tumbling through space.

(How many versions of the opening are there?  I think I've seen three,
but I'm not sure.)

Computer graphics fans will note, however, that they skimped a little
on the polygon count for the sun.  You can see the corners on the
limb, and a little Mach banding from the Gouraud shading algorithm.
*Great* texture mapping on the Moon, though.  I admire the self-control
of the people who made that sequence for not putting in a teapot
anywhere.

Some other quotes from the Arnold Top Ten List:

   "Time to Make the Doughnuts, you Bastard!"

   "Hey, does anyone here like Show Tunes?"

When Arnold married Maria Shriver, Dave had a `Top Ten Reasons the
   Marriage Won't Work.'  The next day, Maria Shriver faxed Dave a
   top ten list of her own -- listing all the reasons a Shriver/
   LETTERMAN marriage *would* work.  Dave read it in the spirit of
   rebuttal (and obviously enjoyed it).  The number one reason?

I think both Letterman and Miller are quite talented, and I would have
liked Miller's show to have succeeded, but there's too much competition
on the air already what with all the other talk shows, cable, and
infomercials in the late night hours.  It's hard for a show that appeals
to the Letterman type audience to make it now.  If Letterman had gotten
the Tonight Show as he should have, and Dennis Miller had gotten Late 
Night, I would have watched both shows.  But as it was in a lot of markets,
Miller came on at the same time as Letterman, or even after Letterman.
Faced with that choice, I think most late night viewers simply opted
for Letterman. 

Quite honestly, I think Letterman is a great interviewer and while he
certainly doesn't have the flashy wit of Miller, his show has the nice
combination of campy cheesyness and sophistication.   

But I must say, I do NOT like the new opening montage with Dave as
an Astronaut.

WHAT???   Are you kidding?!  If that "burns" you, then i'm afraid you
probably just don't "get" the show at all.  The whole POINT is to see
how DAVE is going to react to these things.   Dave's "screwing around"

ok, I didn't get to watch much letterman in the Spring of '91
(might have been '90).  Point is, when I returned to watching it,
the audience was really big into chanting "Weasel! Weasel! Weasel!".

I never did find out what that was about...can someone help me?

My favorite Letterman quote came during some joke about a guy with
a little head.  Will mumbles something, and Dave hears him.
He stops the monologue, turns around, and asks, "What?"  More mumbling.
Dave grins, turns to the audience, and deadpans:

"Well, it's the consensus of the band that we could all use a 
 little head."

For network television, circa 1986, this was pretty damn funny.

Agreed. It'd also be nice if he could call it the damn ONTARIO SCIENCE

P.S. - I think DL doesn't trust some things to be humorous enough on their
       own, and "peps them up" to please the crowd. Maybe we should write
       and convince him it isn't necessary. Or maybe he just doesn't like
       being upstaged...
