Everyone else seems to be trashing this episode, so I guess I'll join the 
bandwagon.  I thought the Perot skit was quite funny, Dana Carvey is a master
of imitation.  For that reason, I also thought the Dennis Miller skit
was good, but not really too funny.  Weekend Update was also mildly
amusing.  However, I felt the pizza commercial was too long, the founding
fathers only a tiny bit amusing ( but very boring ), and the Bob
Roberts skit was a little dull ( and I loved the movie ).

I liked Sinead`s last piece.  Different, if nothing else.

It wasn't their best show, they'll probably be cancelled.  Maybe if the
writers joined a 12 step program...I'll never stop liking Stuart Smalley!

Ok, I've heard at least two people say that "next week's episode looks 
promising..."

Since I somehow managed to miss Leaping of the Shrew, could someone tell me
what happened in the leap out at the end of the episode?  I'm curious...

Bzzzzz, wrong!

The real reason these two were fired was because they both refused to perform
on the same show as Andrew Dice Clay. SNL tryed to convince Nora and Jan to
change their minds with no luck. As a result, their contracts weren't signed
the next year.

Personally, I found last season to be the worst one ever,
except the first couple of shows. If they had stuck with
the concept of having another child, it might have worked.
Kelly looked awful most of the year, and Al has acted stupid
ever since 1991-92 started. Just my opinion.

Well, not all of it was GOOD satire.

By the way, wasn't Tim Robbins pissed at SNL for satirizing the actions
of the media during the Gulf War? ("Can you tell us exactly where and when
you are going to attack the Iraqi forces?"). He must have a movie to promote.

Oh, wait. He does. The "Bob Roberts" sketch was pretty pointless, probably
because it was taken out of context. But pointless, nonetheless.

>The "Founding Fathers" skit was quite clever.

I agree wholeheartedly.

And "The World's Nicest Pimp" was very funny, IMHO. I'm not used to seeing
any good skits that late in the show.

I don't care why he is running. I won't vote for him, but I'm glad he's
running. However, I agree that the poking fun at him was really good. And
Dana Carvey does a MUCH better Perot than he does a Bush.

What stand? She ripped up a picture of the Pope and shouted "Fight the
real enemy!" That's not a constructive stand, nor is it satire. It was
uncalled for and deeply offensive to many (can you imagine someone doing the
same with a picture of, say, Nelson Mandela? Would you be so supportive then?)

And what do you mean by bringing the CRUSADES into all this? That was
hundreds of years ago!! Are we supposed to believe that you have a point
here (and the questionmarks indicate satire, right?). I seriously doubt
that Sinead was protesting the actions of the Crusaders. And if she were,
then she's more batty than we think. In any case, she didn't make much
of a true point.

I could go on, but this is a tv newsgroup, not a politics one.

So if anyone out there has a tape and could make or lend me a copy,
I'd give you the usual recompense and my undying gratitude.

Thanks in advance,

I suppose I _could_ call Paul, but I think he's a little busy

Uh, no.  Channel 99 is not after channel 52.  I think, actually, it is
quite a low-frequency channel...maybe it's in the space between channels
6 and 7 or something like that.  Channels 95-99 used to be called E, D,
C, B, and A I think.  I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will now be
prompted to correct me, but that's the gist of the situation.

Are you *SURE* this will be the *ORIGINAL* pilot episode? According
to the GI handbook, Sherwood Schwartz refuses to disclose the names
of the actors in the original pilot, and refused to donate the only
(as far as I know) copy of the pilot to the museum of broadcasting
to protect the actors identities.

Any clue as to what made him give in and allow this to be broadcast?

As far as I know, this will be the only time the original pilot
has been broadcast on television. It was only used in test screenings,
and the actual pilot was cut up and inserted later in the first season,
with the original Ginger, Professor, and Mary Ann excised and replaced
with the new actors...

I know what happened to Mike Meyers.  He was not in the season premiere of  
SNL because he is still filming "I'm married to an ax murder" and will not  
be in some SNL's.  They usually don't take players off the credits, but  
they did do this with Mike.  No one really knows why.  He might return in  
the near future, but his publicist sais he might take some more time off.   
All this was courtesy of the latest Entertainment Weekly.  You're welcome!

In articles <mumble> everyone asks me if Don knows about the fact that
the USA reruns are being cut.

Yup, he knows. And there's not a damn thing he can do about it. See,
_Universal_ owns the show, and has the right to dispose of it as they
will. Don has no control over it whatsoever. He's as much a hired hand
as the lowliest gofer in that respect.

Is he ticked about it? Sure. It's his baby, but there's nothing he
can do about it other than grumble like all of us are doing.
