My name's Michael, not Jane. :-)

Seriously, though, Sally, (wow! Three commas in a row) I brought up the
issue the way I did for a specific reason. Don may not consider the show
to be science fiction, but the fact is that many of the fans of the show
(myself included) were attracted to it because of its science fictional
feel.  (They can't expect *every* viewer to watch it just because Scott
Bakula is so attractive! :-) ) I attended a recent sf convention where
one of the panels was a group discussion devoted to the show. Also, the
fact that QL has had its own con soon to be two years running puts it in
a category that mostly only sf shows fall into -- i.e. that of
incredibly dedicated fans. (No flamage, please -- I said "mostly," and
by "incredibly dedicated" I mean that people will fly 3,000 miles for
one weekend of activities related to the topic. Hey, it's just a TV
show!)

On the other hand, as I said before, QL is definitely not an sf show in
that most of the stories are only dependent on one sf premise, Sam's
leaping. Other than that, QL could be an anthology series about the
turning points in the lives of many people in recent history.

But once you start introducing UFOs and vampires, and an evil leaper
with her own project and computer, don't try telling me that it's *not*
science fiction. It may be *borderline* sf, Mr. Belisario, but it still
fits into the category.

At first, I didn't like it but the character development is coming
along.  It's no Northern Exposure but that's what happens when you
bill a show as "from the producers of".  Everyone expects it to be
of the same caliber and the storyline may not be as interesting.
Just my opinion.

When she first came on wasn't she on in the AM?  Real early?  I work
nights and my expression is down to either eye lids closed or barely

I just know that in San Antonio she had a personality that seemed to be
her own, not fake.

No. In the credits they listed two actresses as "Anita" and "Anita's
Friend." Neither one was played by Anita Hill herself.

But the resemblance was uncanny.

If there are any lingering fans of Taxi out there, a friend of mine needs some help

He's looking for some of Jim Ignatowski's "classic" lines.  Does anyone have any or

Many thanks.

Agree also.  Bubble-jerk's constant whining about how we are destroying
the envirnoment is completely uninteresting.  The only thing I notice when
he is on the screen, is how much the actor's (Anthony Edward's) hairline has
receded since Revenge of The Nerds, and Top Gun.

Ed is fine, when they restrict his appearances and dialogue; his character
is great reacting to things that happen to other characters.  When things
revolve around him, I start to lose interest.  I find the same true of
Chris's character.  Adam's character grates on me.  He treats people so
shittily, and everyone stands around and takes it.  I have trouble 
believing that no one has decked him by now.  Another attempt by the
show's writer's to force the quirkiness on us.

I picture the leapee's aura becoming the appearance of Sam, via morphing, and
thus making the transition clear... perhaps the ideal image would have a bit of
both.  It's a purely rhetorical question anyway.  But I wonder if THEY wish
they could use it... they already changed the leap-effect a lot since the
beginning.  The "effect" in Genesis wasn't any effect at all; instead, there
was just a plot element bridging the gap, a flying baseball.  Then there was
that ugly color-phase effect, which eventually evolved into the bluelight we
all know and love.  I don't think they'd be willing to change it again for
anything.

Yep.  It was set in Elk Ridge again, and in fact they left a hook in it to set
yet another episode on Elk Ridge later on.  Seems that one of the people who's
life Sam changed is still going to end up screwed up, just many years later. 
Al said they can't all be happy endings, but I know that they just left it in

No, that was Cheers again.  That was Frederick Crane and Sam who gets

Well, I wouldn't count Diane since they were just trying to hide
Shelley Long's pregnancy and allow her to participate at the same time.

But, there was the time where both Carla and Paul locked Rebecca
behind the vent.

There's also Rebecca stuck in Evan Drake's closet.  Sam and Rebecca
stuck in Robin Colcord's apartment after tripping the security system.

Ziggy gives it a 79.6% chance that Sam won't get a reflection.

If memory serves, NBC did a promo for Quantum Leap back around the Halloween
of 1990 (around the time of "The Halloween Episode"), in which Sam said
something to the extent of leaping around in time he never knew when or
where he'd end up.  Anyway, he was laying in a coffin and he had a mirror
in his hand and, when he looked into it, there was no reflection and we
even got an Oh, Boy.

GTF, I miss the old days, when NBC had decent promos.  ;-)

They play a pair of twins in an episode of 21 Jump Street ("Chapel

Tasters Choice

I have been reading this Tasters Choice thread and it occurs to me that the
people who actually like these commercials do not pay much attention to the
dialogue. I am not certain what is said exactly, but at the end of the 
*mystery man* commercial, the woman either tells you who the dapper British
gentleman is or she gives you such a big hint that it is not hard to figure
out what his relationship to her is.

I have this to ask: What is so appealing about these commercials? Am I missing
something?
Curious. :)
