    No it's not just you. There are a number of us who feel that L&O is

seen this weeks episode?

    I would like to thank the people who gave me many thoughts to the answer
 to this question.  Most people said pretty much what I had thought.
 I figure that they will probably show Wilson's face on the last show of
 the series, just as Daryl and Daryl spoke on the last "Newhart."  

 Notice on this weeks episode how Wilson concealed his face with the herbs
 he had just picked.  He was also wearing his trademark hat(I wonder if he
 wears it to bed, with the covers pulled over his face of course!

 Also, we WMU students noticed that Tim was wearing a Western Michigan 
 University sweatshirt.(Detroit is about 2 hrs away from Kalamazoo)
 Way to go Tim!

It seemed to me that Sam (and Al) were trying to get HER to believe it

consequence, although Sam looked like he was beginning to believe it

Hmmmm...now that you mention it, maybe Sam does believe the evil
balancing the good.  If this is correct, that wouuld explain why he
knew that the Evil-leaper was not totally gone.  For, if the evil was
gone for good, then the balancing evil would have to go, too.  Or maybe
it was just a "feeling" Sam had.

I agree completely.  I think the regular characters are interesting
enough without having to introduce the abnormality of the week.
I find the bubble-man character to be extremely irritating - I think
it's a not too subtle attempt to keep the show offbeat.  It doesn't
work for me.

I watch it and I think it's pretty good, although none of the following
episodes have been quite as funny as the first.  I hope FOX doesn't give
up on this show too quickly (last I saw, it wasn't doing too well in the
ratings).

(btw, I'm not sure how you pronounce her name, but a friend of mine saw

Now that the "deed is done" and super couple :-) Brenda and Dylan

the writers of the show get them back together again?  I was  
hoping this would be a permanent break-up, but the trailers
I have been seeing for tonight's episode seem to indicate that
they believe they might have "made a mistake" in agreeing to 
see other people.

Has anyone else seen previews that might indicate this?  (I

I heard her explain this once, but all I remember is that it's due to her

I like MacNeil/Lehrer also, but they insist on being boring as well as
impartial.  On the night after the election, ABC and PBS both had news
specials concerning the Clinton campaign and coming administration.  ABC
had Ted Koppel following Clinton around for 72 hours with interesting
behind-the-scenes footage.  MacNeil/Lehrer had their usual pundits on,
plus a few Clinton people who couldn't tell us anything other than
what they've been telling us the whole campaign.  ABC did their job,
IMO, and PBS didn't.

MacNeil/Lehrer will also waste their valuable second half-hour on frivolous
Charlene Hunter-Gault (sp?) projects on important news nights.

If you believe television cannot provide good news coverage in a half hour,
and wouldn't know what to do with more time if they had it (PBS and CNN
during most of the day), then you can't beat Dan Rather.  I've learned
more about television news and how it affects Washington from him than
from anyone else (I really do respect him).

CNN's Capital Gang, MacNeil/Lehrer's Gergen and Shields, the last 15 mins
of Brinkley, and the McLaughlin Group are instructive for the same reason.
(People who complain about the McLaughlin Group being just a shouting forum
should turn their gaze to Crossfire, a real black mark on Kinsley and CNN,
IMO).

Ziggy predicts a 100% chance of spoilers below...

Oh Boy!!!

I was pleasingly surprised by the Evil Leaper episode.  As I was watching it,
I remembered something I read a couple of weeks ago regarding Alia.  It seems
to me that Alia herself is not evil, but Zoey and Lothos (Observer and
computer) are the evil ones.  Alia is just a victim of circumstance, much like
Sam is.  Sam tries to do what Al and Ziggy tell him to, because he really 
doesn't know what to do.  Alia is much the same way.

I also liked the FX in this episode.  The door for Zoey and the changing in
appearance of Alia were excellent.  I also like the way they handled the
Observers' POV in this.  (i.e. Al could see Alia as Alia, and Zoey could
see Sam as Sam, but Al and Zoey couldn't see each other.)  Interesting to
say the least...

I'm looking forward to the other Evil Leaper episodes (there is more than
one episode, right Sally?).

Only one minor nitpick with the episode.  The date is March 19, 1966, yet
there's a basball game on?  The way Sam and Frank were talking, they made
it sound like the season was well underway, but only Spring Training would
be going on in March.  I know, I know -- "Don't investigate this too
closely."

Well, I've rambled long enough.

Keep Leaping,
   Bob

It was a reference to the episode "Jimmy" in 1990. Sam and Al discussed
Al's sister in that episode. That's what Sam remembered Al telling him.
 
I'm still waiting for Sam to help his sister. She married a bum that beat
her, according to "The Leap Home". Sam saved his brother's life

  Topper is a great movie, but you've made a couple errors.
  Billie Burke is in it, but Marion Kirby is played by
  Constance Bennett and Cary Grant is her husband.  Roland
  Young plays Topper, and there is no ghost dog. 

  The dog of the tv show was killed in the same avalanche that
  killed the Kirbys on their skiing trip.  The Kirbys of the
  movie are killed in a car accident (as you wrote).
