  SF4M: TV Night Wednesday! Woo.

     Since Jen has taken it upon herself to mention that TV Night is

     "starring"

     the singular South Park, I figure I should mention that this Wednesday,

     TV

     Night is nine to twelve hours strong. Along with Jim's SP tape, I have

     two

     Voyager episodes (the last two), The Visitor, Millennium, Stargate,

     Profiler,

     Simpsons (which, actually, according to one Forumite, didn't live up to

     expectations), King of the Hill, X-Files, Timecop (joy), and Ally

     McBeal.

     Speaking of that last show...Gorno, the last line on your post on "sf4m

     confusion" seems to imply that you saw and liked that show. True?

     Anyway, stop by the Forum for TV Night...also take the chance to pick up

     the night's official newsletter, Tubenacht. Oh yeah, there's like, a

     meeting

     of some sort on that evening as well.

         I can't read the fine print in every post on this newsgroup! Not
         even in

         my own... unless it's DIRTY (pant pant). Yes, it's a boffo show, and

         reminiscent of "The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd," (if memory
         serves

         regarding the full title), which was almost certainly before your
         time.

         Easy on the eyes, too! The opening shot of the last episode, that
         is, the

         end shot, so to speak, is surely a moment of TV greatness (right up
         there

         with the Apollo moon shot (snicker) - not to mention the full trio
         at the

         plaintiff's table, wooo wooo grrrrowwwlllll!) But, less raffishly,
         it's

         darn good, and I like the running gags ("Snappish!", "He puts his
         feet

         up...", the dancing twins) that make watching each episode
         essential.

         MILD SPOILERS for those who haven't seen it yet:

         The one thing I don't like are the courtroom victories: the trick
         they

         pulled in the first episode wouldn't have proven anything, and might
         have

         qualified as bribery or another disbarrable offense! And the Kate
         Jackson

         victory was B.S. on several levels. I really liked the final scene
         when

         she's sitting alone watching the "two size fours" dance with their
         men.

         Speaking of which, Courtney Thorne Smith is a hell of a babe, with a
         smart

         and wry personality, but can she really be a size four? My knowledge
         of

         such things is extremely limited, but I thought that was really
         small...

         perhaps it's based on waist size only, so a curvy woman with a tiny
         waist

         is the same size as a neat little pixie (like Kes, say).

         Gorno

         "Starfleet told us that Simulcra was an amazing duplication of
         Twentieth

         Century Earth, but nobody said what a God-awful suck-hole it would
         be! Do

         you think the Federation would mind if we turned it into an
         extra-large

         asteroid belt?"
