I could be wrong, but I believe that there is a group calling themselves
"Jerry's Orphans" who diappprove of the pity approach to raising money. Those
with MS want to be recognized as contributing members of society who hold
jobs, are educated, etc. They don't want to be considered objects of pity, but
rather as people with a future. Also, "Jerry's Kids" grow up to be adults, which
is not emphasized.

I understand that Jerry gets paid for his involvement in the telethon
(yes/no?).

On Saturday, Nick at Nite will start showing a marathon of The Mary
Tyler Moore Show.  I can't wait!  From what I understand, this "Marython"
will last seven days, with each day showing episodes from one of the seven
seasons.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they'll be showing ALL the episodes.
There are 168 total, which would be 24 per night, or twelve hours per
night.  I don't think they can show more than about ten hours per night.
Does anybody know how many hours will actually be shown each night?  They
say they'll be showing the favorite episodes, but I hope they show MY
favorite episodes.

I wonder if the best route to stopping TV stations from cutting credits,
voice-overing them, or reducing them in size to unreadability would be the
approach of going through the production companies or the actors or
stagehands' or other entertainment professionals' unions.

Credits are *important* to these people. The size, position, duration,
and other factors about credits are often as important in contract
negotiations as the money amount. I would think that the contracts the TV
stations sign in order to have the rights to broadcast these programs
would include clauses which prohibit the stations from cutting off or
failing to broadcast credits, or to make them unreadable by size reduction.

Thus the TV stations are probably in violation of these contractual agreements
and thus liable to legal action and monetary penalties.

I know that there are people on this list involved with the business in
some way, via friends, family members, etc. Please ask your contacts
about this. Maybe we viewers can work with the producers against these 
broadcasters, acting as gatherers of ammunition for their lawyers to use
against the TV stations that damage the programs by these practices.

Is there an organization for video & TV programming that takes action
against copyright infringers and those that use the programs illicitly,
the way that ASCAP and BMI work for the music industry? Maybe they 
would take action to punish TV stations (and even networks and cable
services) who are doing this stuff in violation of contract.

Then again, maybe the contracts don't specify anything like this, and
the actors and producers don't want to annoy their customers [the
broadcasters] and all this is a futile hope...

(As an aside, one of the worst offenders in this area is the Public TV
station during pledge weeks. They constantly reduce and cut off credits
in order to go back to their whining for pledges.)

I think it means that Ziggy is no help in telling WHEN or HOW she
dies.  So, if Sam knows that Jane Doe is going to die at 10:00
Wednesday night on the corner of 1st & 2nd, Sam can make sure that
she's not on the corner at 10:00.  But if Ziggy can't tell Sam WHEN or
HOW, then Sam has to figure it out all by himself.

The chorus goes like this:

So when you're happy -- Hurray!
Or sad -- Awww!
Or frightened -- Eeek!
Or mad -- Rats!
Or excited -- Wow!
Or glad -- Hey! 
An interjection starts a sentence right!

What's really interesting about this, though, is the pictures shown
during the chorus. For happy, a bunch of cheerleaders jump into the air.
For sad, a baseball game is rained out, and the kid on the pitcher's
mound is the upset one. For frightened, a snake sneaks up on a girl, and
then is scared by *her* when she makes a face at it. For mad, a wheel
falls off a racecar. For excited, a girl displays a report card with an
A+ on it. For glad, a girl discovers that "I can ride a bike!"

I'm also amused at the way this song taught us the right times to curse.

homework, etc) but the most memorable one was the 15/30 second spot about
prejuidice, involving an elderly man and his grandson, Jimmy; the last line
of the spot: "That's because you think of <name> as your Jewish friend,
and not your _friend_."  I've had people tell me Snippets was local, and

Actually this was not the first time.  A few years back, a Saturday

"Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue") aired on CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, and 
various independent stations, as well as the Spanish network Univision 
(dubbed in Spanish, of course).
