Finally watched the season opener last night (travelling is a bitch,
but a kindly spouse with a VCR made NE the second thing I turned to
after getting home...) and read thru r.a.tv reviews today.

One teeny point -- just as their breaking for a commercial during the
picnic of old boyfriends, you hear some background conversation between
the bfs, wherein they offer the potato salad around . . .

Maggies letters -- we did hear the tail end of the one she wrote to
Rick.  Gack!  "I know you would have seen the error of your ways..."
Yes, Rick was a jerk.  The letter came off as smug and superior, not
as setting oneself at peace.

If Maggie and Joel have some kind of relationship, it'll be different
because it won't start with sex.  It's start with recognition of conflicting
world views and be based on a much more honest understanding of each
others flaws.

What'll Joels 30th birthday be like?

Ruthanns use of a hammer was one of the few acting failures I've seen
from (forget the actress' name).  Anybody who's done serious worth with
one of those knows that you hammer *through*, not slap and withdraw.
That recorder should have practically exploded.

On Maurice saying "jap":  Yes, it's racist.  Yes, it's offensive.  Yes,
with a Korean son he should be more thoughtful.  Nonetheless it's
consistant with his character.  Maurice has occasionally made
exceptions to his bigoted views on Koreans, gays, women, etc.  He has
not changed them.  An entertaining, somewhat likeable jerk is still a
jerk.  Sorry, Kimiye.

I think he's just into comfortable grousing.  I suspect griping is to Joel
what 1000 Strings Orchestra is to elevator music.

  Excuse me, but I'm in a quandary about the Reese's Pieces commercial that 
runs with the afternoon and Saturday cartoons ("Hair pieces, eye pieces, 
Reese's Pieces").  The nerd from "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" appears in it.

  The pay-off verse of the jingle says that Reese's Pieces has "the famous 
flavor of Reese's Peanut Butter in a (???????) shell."  The words aren't too 
clear.  I won't rest until I get to the bottom of this.  Anybody have any 
idea what kind of shell encases Reese's famous peanut butter?  Thanks in 
advance for the help.

Was I the only person who thought Belisario was trying to say that LHO had a
SPLIT PERSONALITY?  There at the end, when he kept insisting it wasn't him, it
was (forgot the name, but it was the alias from New Orleans) who was going to 
assasinate Kennedy.  That might have been why Sam & LHO didn't separate 
completely, because only the primary LHO persona left the body, the secondary 
persona did not.  Anyone else agree?

BTW, I was quite disappointed with the episode over all.  As someone else said,
it was just a forum for Belisario's personal agenda.  I thought it was very
disjointed and weakly plotted.  The bit about Jackie.... yuck!  As if her
absence would make a huge difference?  Please, please, please! No more leaps
into REAL people!  The old format was so much better!  

After reading the Times Arrow II spoilers on r.a.startrek.current, it sounds
like Belisario and the Trek writing team need to take some classes on plotting
and continuity!  This business of not having the second half even CONCEIVED
when the first half is filmed has got to stop!

I don't know, but I think the original YBYL also did this with Groucho's

No, that was Rob Schneider (copy-machine guy). He seems to be on more

Yes, Shelly and Holling's storylines are a bit tiresome,
but still enjoyable.  I'd like to see the writers get
both of them out of The Brick more often.  Holling's trek
into the wilderness with Maurice was one of the best
episodes from last season.  I say it's time for Holling
to take Shelly camping!  Let Dave run the Brick for awhile.
Better yet, let Adam take over!

It would be nice to see Bernard settle in Cicely permanently.
And God forbid Joel ever gets behind the mic again!

I can see the writers slowly but surely turning Joel into
an Alaskan.  His transformation can't be accomplished
overnight.  It will be realistically drawn out to the
logical point where he decides to stay on in Cicely
willingly.

Looking forward to the Bubble Man, Adam & Eve, and the
return of the Flying Man!

Of what little I've read on the subject, I think that one of
the beliefs she had was that every person should be responsible
for themselves only and not to anyone else.

I think that "A is A" is saying that "A" is not the first letter
of the alphabet, it is not "part" of anything. It is itself and
that is all.

Teamwork is not something they would encourage at this day care.
Hence, the poster reading "Help is futile."

Because of a single episode?  That's pretty closeminded of you, John.
The producers have already said that the premiere was going to be their
final statement on the matter.

Giving up on a TC show you've watched for a couple of years (and therefore
obviously have liked) is fine...but why not have an actual reason for it?

I don't know about that; our local affiliate certainly seems afraid of groups.
They won't put it on until 2:30 AM, and they have Rush Limbaugh on at 1.
I was completely shocked to find a San Francisco station refuse to put
this on at a less unerasonable hour (say, 1AM?), and they apparently have
a "blackout" that won't let cable companies offer the other affiliates in
the area (my non-cable reception is zilch). I had better access to
new, "controversial" shows in Philadelphia, which is NOT exactly a hotbed
of liberalism, at least in my experience.

Getting back to the subject at hand, I think this is a hilarious show, and
the only thing I would bother to tape at such a ridiculous hour!
