I thought that was really funny; I liked Adam Sandler; "turn left at the
WICKED big Radio Shack."  I was wondering if non-New Englanders would think
it was funny.

It didn't seem to go anywhere, though.  I half expected Betty to walk out

They haven't really gone anywhere new with him either, lately.

No one has mentioned "Orgasm Guy," or did you all block it out? :-)
The good part was when he fell out the window.  I also thought the lyrics
in the opening song were funny, even though I was wondering where in the
heck that concept came from.

His name is **CHRIS COOPER**, my idol, my god, my absolutely glorious shining
angel, my most huggable squeezeable squishy totally YUMMOLA guy of all time,
as Libby Gelman-Waxner put it in her ode to Daniel Day-Lewis in the December
PREMIERE: "my new love master, my harem king, my ultimate hug honey, 
and my latest spiritual fiance."  WHAT A SWEETIE!!!!  My kinda guy.

His movie credits include:
	MATEWAN	(starring role)
	GUILTY BY SUSPICION (small but riveting role: he's in the opening scene)
	CITY OF HOPE (very small role, but memorable for being the *only* time
		I have ever heard him drop his trademark Western/Southern/rural
		/18th century/working-class accent.)
	THOUSAND PIECES OF GOLD (co-starring role, with Dennis Dun and Michael
		Paul Chan opposite Rosalind Chao; one of my all-time favorite
		movies, out on video and letterboxed laserdisc, GO SEE IT NOW!)
		First released theatrically, then on PBS' "American Playhouse."
tv-movies:
	LONESOME DOVE
	NED BLESSING: MY LIFE AND TIMES (the pilot)
	BED OF LIES (co-starring opposite Susan Dey), 1-20-92
	IN BROAD DAYLIGHT (a Brian Dennehy tv-movie), 1-24-92
	DARROW ("American Playhouse" on PBS, playing Eugene Debs opposite
		Kevin Spacey's Clarence Darrow)

===> PLEASE TELL ME anyone if you ever hear of anything else he's been in, no
matter how obscure or small the role, I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I'd also love to find one of those lovely movie posters from THOUSAND PIECES
OF GOLD -- the cover to the novel/biography the movie's based on is also a
nice reproduction of that still, but it's a bit too small ;-)

I have almost all of the above on tape to trade, except GUILTY BY SUSPICION
and a few bits and pieces of the others missed here and there.

	Dude! What an emotional ketchup burst about women having crushes
on TV stars, teen-idols, et cetera...

	Not to engage an argument about objectification or anything 
Freudian here, but let's just say that beefcake is fair play.

	The most interesting and accessible thing that I've ever heard/read
about "teen idol"ism is in Barbara Ehrenreich's _The Feminization of Sex_.
She discusses Beatlemania as a mainfestation of the nascent deployment of 
the libido of teenage baby-boomer girls: girls transfer their desire onto
"safe" objects of affection AND at the same time that they fantasize about
"having" those objects of desire, fantasize about BEING them, having their
freedom to BE sexual, have adventures, et cetera.

	About horses and unicorns, the same argument sort of works: girls
approptiate the power of the (mythical) animal.

	About Fabio...God, he's sort of like a cartoon!!! (Just like Joan
Rivers!!!!)  He reminds me of the ad-cartoon of that Finlandia vodka woman
(you know, the one riding the polar bear & wears a breastplate) with the
humungo breasts or of the equally ridiculous Barbi twins!!! All are caricatures
of what our culture has coded as sexually desirable.  
	Though Fabio sounds like a nice guy, I, for one, would have a horrible
time even thinking about having it off with him because I would be SO
distracted by his weird proportions!!  The guy is huge, but his head and
neck are so large that they look funny.  Ack!

	That is not to say that I have not had TV or movie crushes.

Another murder was during a skit on Carson's Tonight Show a couple of

breakfast table and the stupid bunny walks across the table and Carson
lets him have it.  Big applause for that too.

Add to that Scott Bakula (like the shock of white hair), Sean
Connery, Mel Gibson (good sense of humour) and _Michael Nouri_
(if you can believe it--I loved Cliffhangers.  Of course, I like
anything with vampires.) With a few exceptions:  tall, dark and
good-looking with an accent (to these Newfoundland ears used to Newfoundland
Irish accents).

I finally managed to watch this today.  (Thank God for VCRs!)
Anyway, my roommate, who happened to watch it with me pointed out
a small time continuity problem.

The episode takes place on December 22, 1971.  When the sheriff calls
over to the bank to talk to them, the show a push button phone ringing
in the bank that Sam goes to answer.  According to my roommate, who used
to work for a phone company, said that push button phones were not
introduced until 1975!  Oops.  :-)  Oh well...No big deal.

Overall, I liked the episode.  I did like how they gave an unhappy ending
to the elder brother (not that I am mean spirited or anything :-).  I
felt that this should that Sam, while helping out some people, can't
help but unintionally hurt others by changing time.  Sort of a cosmic
checks and balances system.
