 These lyrics are from a .VOC sound file of the COMPLETE song:
 
 Here he comes,
 here comes Speed Racer.
 He's a demon on wheels.
 He's a demon and he's gonna be chase'n after someone.
 
 He's gain'n on you,
 so you better look alive.
 He's busy revv'n up the powerful
 Mach Five!
 
 And when the odds are against him,
 and there's dangerous work to do,
 You bet your life Speed Racer's
 gonna see it through.
 
 Go Speed Racer,
 Go Speed Racer,
 Go Speed Racer, Go!
 
 He's off and flying
 as he guns the car around the track.
 He's jammin down the pedal,
 like he's never commin' back.
 
 Adventure's waiting just ahead!
 Go Speed Racer,
 Go Speed Racer,
 Go Speed Racer, Go!

Organization: Northwestern University, Evanston Illinois.
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 1992 17:19:53 GMT

        A question i've been trying to have answered for five years at
least- what happenned to the 'dregs of humanity' episode of It's your move?

       This show, for those who don't remember it, was years ahead of its
time, with all the cleverness of the Parker lewis/Ferris Bueller type. The
lead was Jason Bateman, who played the son of a woman who was dating a neighbor (played by the guy who's now the neighbor Married With
 children (Blech)

       Each episode pitted these two in a colossal battle of wits, and the
best one I ever saw was the 'Dregs of Humanity' episode. Jason Bateman's
character was respobsible for getting a band for the school dance, but
managed to lose the money. Bateman strung a bunch of dressed-up skeletons
up as a marionette band and played metal records. he called the puppet band 'the dregs ofhumanity'and they were a huge hit.
        The neighbor was assigned the job of interviewing the band- and
Bateman actually fooled him with the same technique.
        The episode ended with Bateman getting a call from the PALLADIUM,
asking the Dregs to open for Iron Maiden. Bateman says 'let's do it, and it
was 'to be continued'.

        The show then went off the air for four weeks and the second part
was never shown!!!!  How can i find this gem and where????

If anything, it's the flashback scenes that make this episode worthwhile.

Maybe this is a silly question, but why are there so many requests for
episode guides and season premiere dates?

In the case of episode guides, I've seen requests for series running the
full gamut of quality and popularity.  What do all these people do with
them?  I will admit that I once bought the Star Trek Concordium; I was a
silly teenager at the time, and that book really did have lots of
information in it, not just a list of episodes with brief synopses.

Regarding premieres, why do people need to know 2-3 months in advance when
the premiere will be (I'm pretty sure I started seeing some of these
requests as early as May, but they've become significantly more frequent
this month)?  Do people plan their vacation schedules around them?  I'm a
real couch potato (the TV is on constantly from the time I get home until I
go to sleep usually around 3-4am), but I don't schedule my life around it
(but I do make extensive use of my VCR).  If I miss the season premiere of
Quantum Leap, I know I'll catch it during the reruns.  I expect that most
people who are so devoted to TV get TV Guide or something almost equivalent
to it.  I find out when the season premiere is by reading it that week and
looking for the "Season premiere" note in the description.

And Jed Turner came in about the 2nd season, I think.  Maybe late 1st

The first episode of Buck Rogers had lyrics to its theme song.  (Far

going to find?  Could it be real or just all in my mind?...)
Unfortunately, I don't recall the whole song.

	Hold on a second... isn't Arsenio working the night-time talk
show job for Fox, or is it just a syndicated show out of Fox studios?

	(Actually, any excuse to get rid of Arsenio is fine with me,

Here they are to the best of my memory-ability


Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed.
Poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed.
Then one day he was shootin' at some food,
When up through the ground came a bubblin' crude

Spoken:  Oil that is.  Black gold.  Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know old Jed's a millionare.
The kinfolk said: " Jed move away from there"
They said: " California is the place you oghta be"
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly.

Spoken: Hills that is.  Swimmin' pools...movie stars

ANNOUNCER: The Beverly Hillbillies

Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt  bluegrass song

the ending i think is

Now it's time to say good-bye to Jed and all his kin.
They would like to thank you folks for kindly stoppin in.
You're all invited back next week to this locality
For a havin' heapin' helpin' of their hospitality.

Spoken:Set a spell.  Take your shoes off.
Ya'll come back now ya hear?

Elli MAy: This has been a Filmways presentation.

I am NOT a real hillbily fan, THe stations here think that since
we are in the south, we need to see it on almost every channel
available

**heh hehh*
hope this is right. Feel free to correct me

It's Nickelodeon. It will be part of the Nick at Nite line up.
I've heard they will be diong with MTM what they did with
Dick Van Dyke when it first hit Nick, and that is a week long
marathon showing all the episodes before it settles in its
nightly time slot.  Stock up on those video tapes!

I don't remember the start date, but it's Sept or Oct.

	In many ways, the three-triplecast channels were very good, IF
	you liked the "Premiere Sports"  (i.e., boxing, diving, swimming,
	gymnastics, track&field, wrestling, volleyball).  

	However, if you are one of those "geeks" who like other sports
	(fencing, archery, kayaking, even Baseball) you got nearly zip (if
	even that).

	They pressed the triplecast as "All the events, all the time".  
	I wish they could've done that.  I would've even settled for
	having these non-premiere sports during the 12am-6am shift (i'd
	have taped them then).

	I don't know if I'd buy the triplecast for the summer games again.
	I'd want to see a schedule of what's on/when first.
