For my contribution to the list, I must admit that there have been very
few leading men in Hollywood that I really had crushes on, with some
notable exceptions:

My very first was David Hasselhoff when he was with Knight Rider (maybe
I had more of a crush on Kitt, at this point, I'm not sure anymore)

I also had a crush for the longest time on Michael J. Fox when he was with
Family Ties and Back to the Future.  I still like him a lot.

Pierce Brosnan on Remington Steele was another man I liked a lot.  I was
*quite* upset when he missed out on James Bond just so NBC could have that
pathetic last season of Steele.

And now, of course, is Scott Bakula.  What can I say?  I definitely think
that my taste has been improving as I've gotten older.

In the December 5, 1992 edition of TV GUIDE, the section entitled
"TV CLIPS" had information on the debut of this new NBC series, which
is produced and created by the same people who bring us LAW & ORDER.

The program will have its debut after the Super Bowl on January 31,
1993.  I remember reading about this program during the summer, and
from what I understand, it picks up where L&O leaves off, with appeals,
sentencing, serving time, parole, etc.  I do not know if there will be
any exchange or crossovers of characters from the two shows, but it
would be a nice touch.

If NBC is smart (yeah, right) they will show the two programs each week
back to back.  I do not know who are the leads, but I bet we can expect
the same quality of stars and guest stars in this show we find in L&O.

If anyone has any additional information on this program, please post,
there are many of us L&O fans out here.

Thanks,

SPOILER for "Promised Land" ahead.



Well, I thought this was a pretty good episode but I won't praise it as much
as some of the others.  Sometimes I found the dialog boring and long and the
plot strung out.  It doesn't compare to the Leap Home episodes of third season
and I still think "Killin' Time" is the best episode so far this season.  It
was another great directing job by Scott Bakula.  I always thought he did a 
great job on "Roberto!" and this one as well.  Some of the shots were
excellent.  I liked how the story paralleled Sam's own experience and he was
forced to face it here in his home town.  I don't know what made this a
Christmas show.  This script could have been writen for any time and revised
to fit a Christmas theme.  I did like the ending where we find out the older
brother isn't going to live "happily ever after".  Maybe Sam will leap in
later and save him.  :-)

The point remains that pledge drives punish viewers indiscriminately.
Yes, you heard me, I said "punish". And it's particularly unjust
because It doesn't matter whether you pledge or not. You still have to sit
through it.

KCSM probably does more fundraising than KTEH or KQED. But the spread
it around. 30 seconds between each show all year. And you know what?
It's a lot less tedious and agravating.

I reward KCSM for their attitude to the best of my ability. The others
get a small token inversely proportional to their solicitary incontinence.

KCSM isn't alone. There are public stations that manage just fine
without bashing their viewers senseless. KPBS did it last time.
So far as I know their carrier is still at full strength.

Television programming is not a medium known for its historical accuracy.
Dates are picked at random and often are inconsistent even within the story.

On the December 16 episode of "The Wonder Years," a bank meeting had been
postponed to Friday; it took place that Friday, and the date was given as
December 17, 1972.  No, I wouldn't rush off to check whether that really was
a Friday, but I didn't have to; December 17, 1972, twenty years ago today,
was a significant date in my life, and its having been a Sunday is indelibly
etched in my memory.

You'd think they'd take more care than to goof up things like that.  That
also put the December 24 events later in the show on a Sunday, including
Norma's return to the bank, when she said that the loan officer wanted to see
Jack on Monday.  It would have shown just a little more care if the Fridays
had been December 15 and 22 and the loan officer had asked Jack to return on
Tuesday (since that Monday was Christmas Day).

Still, butchering the calendar didn't satisfy the lust of the writers.  Come
Christmas Eve, during the evening ...

Kevin worked a full shift [how much take-out Chinese food would the people
                           of that town have ordered on December 24?];
He got paid for that night's work that night (!);
He went to the mall, which was still open (!), and bought Winnie's gift;
He spent time with Winnie at the Coopers' house;
Jack, Norma, Wayne, and Bonnie were willing to wait until Kevin finished
   all of that and joined them before they started dinner.

That isn't a little slip like putting a date twenty years earlier on the
wrong day of the week; that was outright sloppy.  Better if they had put
the first three on December 23 and the last two on Christmas Eve, or two
on December 23 and the sweater purchase on the morning of the twenty-fourth.

One thing I was glad to see: when Norma returned from the bank, I expected
some trite _deus_ex_machina_ solution where it turned out she had some heir-
looms or inheritance that Jack had been forbidding her to put up as collat-
eral but she went behind his back and did it anyway to get the loan.  It was
a relief to hear something else.

Thames have just completed showing the series in the UK. It only lasted 5
episodes and was quite good (nowhere as good as the first series IMHO). It
seems to have no link what so ever to the orignal series. ie its now
'teleport' instead of 'jaunt' ugh!!!. It looks like it was filmed totally in
the UK, with UK locations serving for US when needed. I believe they filmed
an initial pilot (with a real US locations), then they decided to reshoot and
expand the pilot to a 5 episode series. Finally Roger Price directed the show

I agree the show has hit bottom and shows no sign of coming back.  I
HATE this little kid, his character is plain awful, and they are turning
Bud into a 16 year old loser while he is in college.

The college loan/mom and dad steal the money episode was real weak,
if this keeps up I may be forced to watch the movies they show on
Sunday nights :-(

I too miss the classic episodes, and all the hidden and softly stated
jabs which are written into the scripts.  The repeats are shown for one
hour here in NJ from 7:00 to 8:00 Mon-Fri on superstation WWOR-TV.  In
the episode shown first tonight, Kelly was trying to date a guy on the
Polk football team, so she joins the cheerleading team.

Quotes I picked up while watching:

After Al told Steve no way could rich White kids from the suburbs beat
Polk, the announcer comes out with the score of the football game over
the loudspeaker "Polk High (and the score), Chester A. Arthur Aryans
(and the score).

Lesbian looking cheerleader coach to girls after they complain the
guys in the team never acknowledge them:

"Guys never know what we want, this is an understanding all us women
have.  Just a reminder, the end of the season sleep over is at my house
tonight, for you seniors you know what I am talking about".

This is the classic era of The Bundy Family we have yet to see this
year.

The heavy glass bottle is always shattered. The person hit with it is knocked

Mike--
I think you're right on about a lot of things.  Some people have
been upset that the norm for Leap right now is to get him to fall in
love or 'David Banner' himself and tell all.  It's happened quite a
few times this season--"My name is really Sam Beckett" and go from there.

Maybe he is falling for woman in need--simply because he can't help but
be conditioned so much by helping people. All he knows now is helping,
giving comfort when needed, and setting right wrongs.  Maybe Sam has
accepted this as his life, that the leaping is part of him, and the 
thought of going home is as distant as that hologram he talks to.  
He craves contact, be it with a stranger, or the part of him that still
remains; which might be why he tells people, once in a while, that he is
Sam Beckett.  It fills him with a sense of self, which he has very little
time to indulge in on the Leaps.

Just random thoughts....

Well, that's for them to decide I suppose.  One thing I would say to 
them though is that MWC is not in the business of "espousing values".
It's just a COMEDY show.  I'd also hope that the children would get their
"values" from a source other than television.  I've also never really seen 
much on MWC that I thought anyone needed to be "protected" from.  If I was 
to think that way, i'd probably be more concerned with the sort of shows 
where people are getting killed left and right, not COMEDY...

Yes, their daughter is Kat, where I figure the name is short for

Um, well, I guess because they fell in love.  I don't know when they

They lived together in secret for a while and were married in secret
because they were afraid of the family's reactions.
