The actor who played the escaped convict on Cheers is familiar to 
Canadian viewers as he has had a bit part in pretty much every series
shot up here, unfortunately his name eludes me at the moment.  But he
definitely wasn't Spiner.

I believe that the "preacher episode" was actually from the series
Tales From The Darkside.

Could somebody out there tell me what is happening to the "Perfect Strangers".

The last episode I saw was on ABC and Larry had married Jenifer. After that
(I think) they stopped airing it.

Is this still running on a network or is it finished.

Well!  Nice to see the show had _some_ fans...  I think it's
disappeared.  Hope Jeffrey Meek can find some new, interesting work.
Maybe he'll go back to midnight dramas.  By the way, if anyone wanted

done some stage acting.

Where does this keep coming from?

Last time I checked, Laurie Hill was still winning its time slot.  Why
would any network cancel a show (barring actor death) winning its time
slot?  Does ABC want something that can win it even better?

Maybe you best check your affiliate.  Laurie Hill is listed in this
week's TV listings.  Whether they actually show it, I don't know nor
do I particularly care since I inhabit NBC during that hour.

George and Marian Kirby of the tv show were played by real-husband and
wife Bob Sterling and Anne Jeffries.  Cosmo Topper was portrayed by
Leo G. Carroll and Billie Burke (I believe) played the wife.  I have
no idea who played Neil, the Kirby's St. Bernard.

Date: Mon, 9 Nov 1992 20:05:27 GMT

Friday I went to the filming of the Christmas episode of "Bob". Of
course, this being Bob Newhart, there was a distinct lack of sappy
Christmas sentiment in the script. Especially from Iris. The plot
concerns the Christmas party at ACE Comics. Chad dares Trish and Albie
to go into Mr. terHorst's office. You men who like Trish will be very
pleased with her party dress ;-) and her role. Some of you men may
like Harlan's girlfriend, while some of you ladies may think Harlan
looks pretty spiffy in a tuxedo. The cat does not appear. :-(

It was, as usual, hysterical and the audience laughed just as hard on
the second take of some of the scenes. The friend I went with and I
got a laugh before the show. We were standing outside the soundstage
and a page was asking everyone who came to the door whether they were
there to see the show. Unfortunately for him, he didn't recognize one
of the cast members and she gave him an extremely Iris-like look and
said, "I'm IN the show." Bob talked to the audience and did some of
his stand-up routine, imitating people on the Ted Mack Amateur Hour.
Very funny. The live band that plays before the show isn't deafening
anymore, which I appreciated.

One of the funniest things will never be seen by any of us, however.
After they were done with the show and had shooed the audience out
(with the exception of me and my friend, who resisted the attempts of
the pages to toss us out since we knew the director and wanted to talk
to him), they shot a promo for the Hollywood Foreign Press Assoc. (the
people who give out the Golden Globe Awards). Bob sat on the set and
said, "Hi, I'm Bob Newhart and we're having a lot of fun working on
our new show 'Bob'. Here are some scenes and then the pilot, I hope
you enjoy them." Then he waited a beat and said the same thing in
Spanish, and the crew became hysterical when he said "Bob" with an
exaggerated Spanish accent. Then he did it in French and said "Bob"
with an Inspector Clouseau-type accent, then in German with a very
stern attitude and then he started in on Japanese... (all this was
written out phonetically for him on cue cards, of course). Halfway
through the Japanese, exec. prod. Phoef Sutton said off camera,
"That's enough, Bob, they get the idea." Bob said, "Dosvendanya".
Director Michael Zinberg then said, "That's a cut, Bob", but they left
the camera rolling and Bob walked off screen muttering, "They're lucky
they got me, there aren't too many multilingual stars left," and then
they really cut. They shot it twice and it was a riot both times. I
was glad we'd gotten to see it.

	Meg Ryan went almost directly from soaps to movies.
	Which is flat-out amazing.

	Kevin Bacon is another example of soapdom-to-moviedom.

	It may help to be not easily recognizable at first!  I.e. being
