Did anyone mention Dale Midkiff?  I love his voice.

William Smith that played Little Joe on Streets of Laredo, and
	now he is reduced to playing bad guys.  He was Conan's
	father in Conan the Barbarian.  He was the bad Russian
	in Red Dawn.

The young man that plays Taylor on Evening Shade shows great
potential.

Definitely Jeff Yagher.  He has matured nicely.

Blue and Manalito from High Chapparal (filmed here at Old Tucson).

There was a guy at Walden's last week end that looked so much like
Adrian Paul, I forgot what I was doing.  My sister had to push me
to get me going again.  What eyes!

Wasn't Thaao Phengelis (sp?) on Days of Our Lives for a while?

It doesn't seem to be well known in North America that Alyssa Milano
is a huge star as a pop singer in Japan!  Her albums have sold tons
there.

She seems to want to deliberately separate her two careers.  Articles
about her in US fan magazines (there have been zillions) never mention
her singing career.  Articles about her in Japanese fan magazines (there
have been zillions) never mention her acting career, except to say that
she took part in a high school play!

The show is called "Faith Daniels" and it airs from 12:30 to 1:00 PM
(Eastern) on most NBC affiliates.  NBC News produces the show; it's
been on for a couple of years now.

I doubt that we're referring to the same Faith Daniels (though I'm not
going to say that they definitely aren't the same).  The Faith Daniels
who is now on NBC actually got her start in network TV on CBS, anchoring
one of CBS's many versions of the early morning news.  Later, this Faith
Daniels moved to NBC and read the news on the "Today" show.

Sometime after this, Faith's first talk show, "A Closer Look", premiered.
The format was something like Whoopi Goldberg's current show -- host,
guest, no studio audience -- but instead of celebrities, "A Closer Look"
featured serious topics.  Of course, the network intervened and "A Closer
Look" added a studio audience, the occasional light topic and, soon,
a new set and a new name (the current one).  Faith Daniels also left
"Today" to focus on "Faith Daniels".  (And, of course, the number of
light topics has increased somewhat, but Faith's show still seems to have
more serious topics than Sally Jessy, Jenny, and so on.)

(Note: if it sounds like I'm a big Faith Daniels fan, it's because
I am! :-)

I don't know about that; in Buffalo both the cable company (TCI of New

Hi folks,

The authoritative /ql-archive now lives at cisco.

The ziggy.3com.com:/ql-archive is now a mirror (files there will be no
more than 24 hours older than at the authoritative site), but the
primary repository for the ql-archive now lives on ziggy.cisco.com
(aka ftp.cisco.com aka cisco.com).

In fact, ziggy.3com.com has been a mirror for almost a month to make
sure things were working properly.

E-mail regarding problems should be directed to ql-archive@cisco.com
(e-mail to ql-archive@ziggy.3com.com will still reach me, but you
should only really report problems with the 3com archive to that
address).

I wish to take this opportuntity to publicly thank the folks at 3com
who allowed the ql-archive diskspace to remain on a 3com machine even

Gifts are always wrapped in paper that is so strong, it cannot be
ripped.  Therefore, you must always take the extra time to separately
wrap the box and its lid, carefully aligning the paper and the ribbon.
In this way, the gleeful recipient can easily open the gift by simply
lifting the top.

(Has anyone ever tried wrapping a package in this way?!  I used to
work at the gift-wrap department at Gimbels, and one day, someone
asked me to wrap a gift "just like they do on TV".  It took forever to
wrap that dammed box!  :-)

Hi.  I didn't see this.  And I am not even familiar enough with the
skit to identify the guy by name.  But it is the Daily Affirmations
skit (I think).  Anyway, people were wondering what he was saying:
shitting on myself or shutting on myself.
   My educated guess is shoulding on myself.  It's funny cause it sounds
like shitting but is shoulding.  The skit's humor comes from the fact
that they are parodying self-help techniques based on cognitive behavioral
techniques.  According to Ellis an early cognitive theorists, people have
problems because of the way they think.  If your thoughts have too many
shoulds:  I should read more today, I should be five pounds lighter,
I should be perfect in all things.  You are going to be miserable.  If
you do that to yourself--think like that you are shoulding on yourself.
The classic is musterbating.  I must be perfect, I must get an A, I
must do that.
  As a psych prof, I love Daily Affirmations.  I use it in class all the
time to demonstrate cognitive restructuring.  I smart enough, I'm good
enough, and by gosh: People Like Me!             Melissa Brown

I thought it was perfectly "thought out", and quite a bit of it was funny.
Were you really upset that Bud's check showed up in the account too fast
or something?   Remember, this is a COMEDY show, not a "banking" show. :-)

What??  That does not sound even REMOTELY funny.  You're kidding, right?
They did it all *exactly* right.  Al & Peg accidentally spending Bud's 
college money is the only way it could have worked...

Coming up with the "Seven" thing was certainly a major blunder, but they
are still doing some funny stuff.  This episode was a fairly good example.
I suppose there are not as many *fantastic* shows these days as there used
to be, but MWC is STILL much better than the vast number of other series
currently crowding the airwaves.

 >I think that the show has run its course and should not come back next year. 
So don't watch it!  If everyone feels the way you do then it *won't* be back.
I at least will be VERY happy to have an 8th season (preferably Seven-free :)

 >Why spoil the great memories of classic episodes from season 2,3 and 4

Huh??  If your memories can be "spoiled", then maybe you SHOULD stop watching.
I have plenty of great memories from the many excellent season 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
episodes, some from the first, and more than likely some from the seventh.
(and hopefully an *eighth* as well! :)  Nothing could EVER "spoil" that.

Montreal has TWO PBS stations within range (Plattsburgh, NY and

members.  I remember that in the case of the Burlington station, it
represented at least 33% of the membership.


   2) How is the "target" figure determined. Is it based on population in

      The goal for the Station was $230,000. Does this take into

      750,000. 
      Or just the American side, with Canadian donations as a added
      bonus?

It costs money to purchase shows (both imports and PBS shows).  The
"target" figure is based on the station's expenses.

Canadian money is just as good as American money, so I am sure it
counts.  A more interesting question is whether the US Federal
Government matching funds program applies to Canadian donations.

And there you have the biggest reason why jumping to CBS is not the greatest
thing for Letterman.  CBS network clearances after late local news are just
as bad as ABCs.  The affiliates would rather show syndicated programs like
MASH and Cheers, rather than network programming.  NBC basically tells its
affiliates it will not delay the Tonight Show (this position had more clout
during the Carson era).  Now some do, but I think its very few.  Ted Koppel
once said that Nightline is only carried by about 60% of the ABC affiliates
at the time it should be shown.

So, a CBS Letterman deal has to guarantee an 11:30pm EST slot on at least
90% of the affiliates in order to give Letterman a fighting chance against
the Tonight Show.  So roughly 30% of the CBS affiliates have to give up
cash cow Cheers and MASH reruns for Letterman.  Tough sell, but i think it
can be done.  Maybe though only a 1-yr guarantee.

Well, let's see: these names conjure up Alexander Hamilton (not a

It's been many years since I watched "Rudolph", but I watched it 
religiously the first 8 or 10 years it was shown, when my kids
were small. (They're now 26 and 24.) I've found this "Hermie"
thread confusing, since "Herbie" was my favorite character in the
show. I think Dick may be on to something. YK mispronounced names.
He called the Abominable Snow Monster a "Bumble", as a corruption of
"Abominable". It'd be entirely in character for him to call Herbie
"Hermie".
