Nope.  In fact, I'm sick of Al Franken himself.  All of his characters

I still think since Bud is the only smart Bundy, he should have come up
with a plan to get his money back and get revenge on his parents (instead
of just moving back home).  Bud has done it in the past.

This is cute.  The women have their thread and the men have another, both
on TV crushes.

But what I want to know is why are the men ragging on the women about looking
at men's behinds while the women haven't said a word to the men about their
own discussion?

(To see more on this, check out my post with the "TV Crushes" line.)

Am I the only woman who *doesn't* check out a man's buns?  I'm perfectly
straight, but bulging pecks just don't do it for me.

Then again, I know of women who have crushes on the likes of William Shatner
and Joel Hodgson (of _Mystery Science Theater 3000_), neither one of them
has much to offer in the looks department.  (Although I know Joel is a 
really nice guy in person as well as in character; my little sister thinks 
he looks cute with his round glasses on!  }B-D )

Yes, about the death of the Bradford mother and death of actress who played
her......
 
The Christmas theme show had Abby find a book of poems that the mother had set
aside for Tommy (not David, who was older) the previous January.  The dedication
she wrote in the book --e.e. cummings, I seem to recall-- advised her son to
realise that it was possible to like poetry and be sensitive and still be
manly, or some such.
 
In keeping with the show's family dynamics, Tommy spent the first 50 minutes
of the program being a resentful, self-pitying teen; after his father presented
him with the book, everyone gathered for a tearful group hug.

_House of Eliott_ has just started here in Australia, and there's been
coverage of this show on our newspaper TV pages.  I'm happy to say that
in a interview with co-creator Jean Marsh (Upstairs Downstairs, Dr. Who,
etc.) a third series is in production.

BTW, I was most impressed with the pilot programme, and it will be on my
watch list this summer (along with _Northern Exposure_.)

If anyone wants a a transcript of this interview post on the board or

 Anyone remember the video diary earlier this year about the Loch Ness Monster
Hunter? There was a piece of music in that which I though was great but have no
idea what it was,
  the only help I can give is, is that it featured the lyrics...
    "Life is what you make it..."
                                   I think.

 It was played quite a bit through the programme, (which I recently discovered
on a video tape and enjoyed again), most often during his trip up to the Loch
in the Mobile Library. He was a funny, entertaining chap, and made the
programme very well.

 Also, there's various tracks used on Film 92, for the "Coming Soon", "Top
Ten", and "Movie News" slots which are good too. Anyone know the titles of
these?

 A stab in the dark I know, but you're never sure who's lurking out there with
pieces of trivia like that stored in their sub-concious...

Many thanks for the replies I've had on this one; appreciated!

A 'slipping videotape' is when the whole picture moves sideways and, er,
sort of prints over itself. Happens every few episodes... and no, I don't
/think/ it's my state-of-the-art Marco Polo receiver, 'cos it doesn't
happen at any other time.

Has anyone tried one of the new Phillips 16:9 TVs? I played with one at
the weekend, and it was rather nice.. running a widescreen Dances with
Wolves video was impressive enough, but it's also possible to enlarge
'normal' TV to fill the oblong shape. I guess you lose a bit of picture
at top and bottom, but it didn't show - and the effect was very good
indeed. Films shown in the 'letterbox' format don't need enlarging;
there's a special button. I was very surprised at how soon viewing TV
in this format felt natural... but at 1300 pounds (45 pounds/month to
rent) it'll have to wait a bit!
