Now, I know that I am months behind and last night's special
was a repeat...but, what is Erin Moran's deal?  When the show
first aired earlier this year, I remember seeing some not so
flattering recent or semi-recent pictures of her on the covers
of tabloids with juicy stories inside promising her tales of
hell on the set of "Happy Days".   

Now, I am sure by now that one of those cast members has made
in onto a talk show in the last months and shed some light
on the subject.  Is she miffed?  Is she fat?  Is she
destitute?  Is she worth millions and looking like such?  What
do the others think of her abscence from the Reunion?

This is mindless, I know, but the damn show was a big part of
my Tuesday nights as a kid.  The music and the tight sweaters
were my reasons for watching.  Now, that one of the sheep has
strayed from the fold in a mysterious manner, I gotta know
more!

If you are upset by the cancellation of "The Dennis Miller Show" you
can try assisting by phoning one or both of the following numbers:  

1-900-468-2210 (to register a vote that you want the show to stay on air)
1-900-468-2211 (to register a vote that you don't want the show cancelled)

(i suspect the 2 number ploy is a product of the Miller sense of humour)

Calls are $0.35 each.  all proceeds go to assist pediatric AIDS foundation.

I really liked this show.  Dennis has a great sense of humour and in MHO is
the only "Tonight-style" show worth watching.  he will be missed.

Tribune Entertainment just canceled the Dennis Miller.  This is his last 
week (of original episodes anyway).  He was probably gobbled up by the 
competition nation wide, but in the Bay Area, he had a following because for 
the free promotion by TV colmnists and he was up against no other Late night 
Talkshow. (Letterman ended at 1AM when Miller began).
 
Why did it fail?  Over saturation of the TV Talkshow market?  Not enough VHF 
stations?  To hip for the room?

Well, we just figured that the torch had a 10' plume of gas over it that set
on fire as the arrow passed through it.  I never assumed that the arrow
landed in the torch.

>Bad news for everyone who actually believed the archer lit the torch
>during the opening ceremony of the XXV Olympics.

I still think it's likely.  With how fast the torch lit,
there must have been plenty of gas there, and it would light quite easily
from the arrow, since it did pass over the middle of the torch, and fairly
close to it.  But those of us watching agreed that there probably was
someone there with a panic switch in case the arrow didn't come close enough.

Given that these awards are all for hairstyling, make-up and _costumes_,
I can hardly see them being used to reach the conclusion that CoL was
somehow an outstanding (or even passable) episode.  Awards such as these
offer no such "vindication".  Now, if the argument had been over two
camps, one which believed that the hairderessing had been great, and
another that believed that the hairstyling sucked, then I think you'd
have your vindication.

How unfortunate it is for the creators of that episode that none of
those awards were for writing, scripting, best acting, etc...the
elements of drama that actually mean something.  Hair designing...bah.  


>COL was a good fantasy with the flair and style of a Wizard of OZ. LWAXANA was
>finally likable. 

Given a choice between rewatching CoL and watching "Wiz", I think it I
know what the clear choice would be.  As for Luxana, I found her to be
far more likeable in other episodes, although even that isn't saying
much.  Majel Barrett's recurring role on TNG is (to me at least) an
obvious case of nepotism.


>The holodeck planet was a standout as an interesting new
>world/culture. Let's give COL a fresh look.

If I thought it actually warranted a second viewing, I would have
already.  In the end, it comes down to this: CoL was the Star Trek V of
TNG.

Actually, she's always been a woman, but after a serious bout with

and during the subsequent vocal chord transplant operation an orderly
apparently mislabeled the allegedly "female" vocal chords that Ms. Arthur
recieved.

I read all about it in The World Weekly News a few years ago. It must be true.

USA did not replace the theme.  I know that they had the same wretched theme 
when the show ran in normal syndicated reruns a few years back.  I'm certain 
that the Billy Joel theme was NEVER used, even when the show originally 
appeared on ABC.

I thought she should have been more, uhm, modest? than crawling around on
the floor like that.  And in THAT dress.  It covered the essentials, barely.
She shouldn't depend on Michael for all her entertainment.  I'm not saying
she should have boyfriends, and sex with whoever.  But she should have her
own friends, her own interests.  She should have realized when they married
what was in store.  I think she was being selfish and immature.

I think he must really care for her, but realizes she's too young for the
relationship.  This brought up an interesting conversation with my neice
as she likes a guy that her father doesn't approve of, and he happens to
be of age.  That was also the case with Dylan and Brenda on 90210.
I don't Kelly much considered the cost, she's never had to worry about
stuff like that (my impression).

The accent is fascinating.  Is that a real Southern accent?  Maybe she's

I thought that was real funny.  The acting of it would have given it
away to me.  That was so melodramatic!  Kelly must be stupid -she fell
for it!

I really enjoyed the show.  My neice thought it was somewhat boring.
Oh, well.  She's only 17, what does she know? ;-)

Has the guy writing the screenplay gone to college?  He seems to young
to have graduated from a university yet.  He should take some writing
classes, etc...  I think that his roommate (Lucy?) handled that well.

So to get any sort of audience whatsoever, they have to tape delay it.
