So, how many Northern Exposure fans are left on rec.arts.tv?

Hopefully, there are enough of us who can't get alt groups
that we can carry on a small discussion during the upcoming
season.

Let me know you're there!

Just in case others are intested in knowing....

D3 is another digital tape format.  But, the biggest thing is that it uses
a cassette approxomately the size of VHS.  It does use 1/2" tape instead of
3/4" tape.  Unfortunately I don't remember if D3 is component or composite
digital.  I keep forgetting which is which for D1, D2 or D3.  I gotta write
it down and post it on my wall for future reference.

I just looked up a Panasonic ad for the D350 deck and it is a 4:2:2 composite
digital deck.  It does have an interface option for component or composite
destinations.

What is a real surprise in Sally's question is the fact that NBC appears to
be dropping MII as the network feed format.  Interesting, since it wasn't too
long ago that they purchased $$$$$ worth of MII equipment.  Don't get me wrong,
I like the idea, since it provides for better quality, both video and audio.

I can't remember her name, but she played the Scottich runner's
sister in the movie "Chariots of Fire."  She spent most of the
time disapproving of her brother's running.

I just received one of these tapes in the mail this week, but I haven't
had a chance to watch it and pass it on yet.  Considering that only 5 or
6 names had been crossed off the list thus far, I would say that either
people have been incredibly slow at passing the tape along, or part of 
the list has been discarded along the way!

Anyway, for those who are still waiting to receive the tape, do you
want to keep the "chain letter" tape going or not?  It seems like a
waste of effort since you can just tape it off USA on Sunday instead.

Mirin Lew

P.S.  Please note that there are a number of tapes making the rounds of
      the country, each with a different list of names/addresses.  I have 
      no idea about the other tapes, but the list that I received only
      has about a dozen names on it.

Agreed, the married couple is too "old."  (Relative to the other cast
members..  Though they are the same age, or close, they don't fit in
because they are married.  It is unwelcome, it doesn't belong, it's too
weird..  Who cares about married people anyway, isn't it a show for young
adults/teens?)  I am getting really bored of their plot lines.  Especially
the baby.. yawn. This isn't "twentysomething" or some other like show.

I heard a while back that there was a planned movie based on the TV series
THE FUGITIVE. Originally Alec Baldwin was considered for the part of Richard
Kimble, bit it fell through. I haven't heard anything since then.

My curiosity was stirred, as I wondered how they would approach the story.

>a) what do you think of the above ?

    It will never pass a CFV, mostly for these reasons:

    1) It's been done before and it was shot down then, so it will
likely be shot down this time as well. A mainstream newsgroup groups for
a single show is a bad idea.
    2) What is wrong with discussion Northern Exposure here in r.a.tv?
This is where the discussion belongs.
    3) More sites receive alt.* than don't, and there is already and
alt.tv.* hierarchy to handle individual tv shows.
    4) The name you are proposing is longer than the 14 character max.

>b) what is the proper procedure for doin' it ?

    If you don't know the proper procedure then you should take alook at
news.announce.newusers, there is a whole slew of informative postings
there, not the least of which is "How to Create a Newsgroup".

I believe there is a ventriloquist (sorry, I don't recall the name)
who was a character named Peanut.  Peanut describes himself as a woozle.

The guy that does has this character because in the same show he does
with peanut, he manages to do 3 other characters as well as Peanut AND
himself!  It is truly amazing.

on Rev Wildmon...his father was a veneral disease inspector for a public

Hi.  There is a fairly new tv ad for a General Motors (GM) Visa/Mastercard

The voice of the the person doing the voiceover sounds extremely familiar

While the ROBOT JOCKS plot was fairly predictable (including its rather lackluster ending) I thought the robot models more than made up for the story and acting. The jerkiness still inherent in the stop-motion filming process added to the illusion of the models as being giant lumbering fighting machines, in much the same way it made the AT-AT models in Star Wars belivable too. Also, though I realize the robots in ROBOT JOCKS represent an earlier level of robot technology than those in GUNDAM for instance, 

I found the pilots "standing/one-movement-for-one-movement interface" with the machines in JOCKS easier to accept than the "sitting/movement-via-two-joysticks" mode in GUNDAM.

In addition, I think the robot models were very well conceived and detailed and might thus be a good source of information/inspiration for mecha modelers, who might otherwise have only illustrated anime robots to refer to.

Some posters have written unfavorably about JOCKS, but I'd suggest watching it (if for nothing else than the anime mecha-like robots) as a sort of live action adjunct to the regular animated shows we enjoy so much.

Don't say that unless you know these guys. :) I know that Mike cares a
whole damn lot about fans. :) He has helped me more than I can ever
repay him, and this was over several thousands of miles distance (last
minute organising a room for me at the Red Lion last year when I found
out 1 day before flying out from Perth that my room booking had gotten
lost).

I don't know James personally (or did we meet last year?), but having
seen his contributions to both cons so far, he more than cares as well.
