DR MattH - Is this the season of "Friday the 13th" that has the multi-episode arc with the demonic possession? -Some of the episodes take place in a French hospital/asylum? Maybe that was season three (if there was a third season). In any case, I remember those being full of some good scares.

Unless it's in the final two episodes, that must not be this season. It ran five or six years as I recall.

Raquel's hair is courtesy of my very own long-time hairdresser, Teddy.

Shouldn't that be Mr. Teddy, hairdresser to the stars?

I watched a BUNCH of episodes tonight, but I stopped trying to count how many. All I know is that I only got about 1/3 of the way through the one I was watching and decided to finish it tomorrow.

After I finish it tomorrow, I will have two more to watch, so I will finished with the set by the end of the afternoon tomorrow. That means I'll be able to use tomorrow night to play catch-up with shows on the DVR before DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES comes on. Should be able to clear a fair number of them off.

Of the episodes I watched tonight, the only one that had a guest star of any repute was one called "The Maestro" featuring Colm Feore as a dance master who drove his dancers to their deaths with his demands.

Tomorrow I'll watch Wednesday night's DAMAGES as I eat lunch. Then I'll finish the remaining FRIDAY episodes. If there's any time left in the afternoon, I'll do THE OFFICE and/or 30 ROCK.

That means Monday I'll be working on HOBSON'S CHOICE and Tuesday will be the Blu-ray of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3. Wednesday I'll begin the ninth season of MURDER SHE WROTE.

Hmmm another station says they are switching over on Feb 17th too. So does the delay mean anything if the stations don't delay?

TOD: When I was working in TV in the mid 80's, we worked in a big concrete building with a parking deck. During a flash flood, I drove home, not realizing that it had been raining for hours because you had no sense of the weather outside while you were in the studio. When I left, I hit a large puddle that kept getting deeper...and deeper...

By the time I realized that it was too deep to drive through, and the engine (literally) flooded, I drowned it and escaped through my rolled-down window. Other cars got stuck too, and opened their doors letting the water rush in. (This is when I decided I would never buy a car with electric windows.) I swam up to a liquor store and met a semi-drunk guy who was willing to help tow my car out of the water. When we returned to the car, it was floating and had turned completely around, so we pushed it until the wheels were on the road and then towed it out. It was my first new car and I thought I had destroyed it!

It turned out that the only mishap was a blown engine fuse. But for months, whenever it got hot and the windows were up, it turned into a terrarium.

MattH - Did you get the sense from the Betsy Palmer interview you saw that in retrospect she's happy to have done Friday the 13th, or embarrassed to have done it, or some other kind of feeling towards it?

Almost all of my local stations except one of the PBS affiliates are going to switch on February 17th and have been running banners alerting folks that they're going ahead with the switch. Good decision on their parts.

I think she's very happy to have done it. It let her play something other than the lady next door sweethearts she had played and gave her an acting role after decades of being known as a game show panelist.

She goes to horror conventions dressed in the sweater she wore as Mrs. Vorhees. I think it's a claim to fame for her. She's a major presence in the bonus features on the disc, and in every one of them, she seems enthusiastic about her role in the movie. (She disliked the first sequel intensely and said she never got a script to see what they were doing. She wouldn't have done her few little bits in it if she had known how they were going to be used.)

Well, I guess I need to head downstairs to bed.

Good night!

FJL · « **Reply #343 on:** February 07, 2009, 08:57:31 PM »

Thanks for that info, Matt.

I remember being startled to see her in that role (I saw the movie its first weekend) and so glad she's having fun with having done it.

Good Evening!

Well... I'm done playing callbacks.. -Nothing like asking an actress who's (also) been up since 7:30 this morning to belt a high-G at 10:00 at night. But they did it!

I was going to head to bed, but then remembered that Bradley Cooper is hosting SNL tonight, so...

Cillaliz · « **Reply #345 on:** February 07, 2009, 09:18:53 PM »

Just remember SNL is on at 10:30 central time

Now that I think of it, it probably was in a later season. -And I think there were only three seasons. *I just checked the IMDB and it says the series ran from 1987-1990, 70 episodes.

And I'm now faintly remembering that the possession arc was also how John D. LeMay (Ryan) was written off the show. I think. -And he was replaced by the hunky Steve Monarque. *Of course, one of the main reasons I followed the show originally was John D. LeMay.

-And I was fascinated by the lead actress' name, "Robey". In any case...

In Richmond, the show was carried by the NBC affiliate, and came on after "SNL". However, when I would go home to Fairfax, it was carried by the ABC affiliate, but it seemed to float on their schedule. And sometimes, they would repeat an episode from one week to the next.

OK... I'm babbling... Next post...

I know. -Which is why I don't feel too bad about staying up late(r) tonight.

-Not a bad show so far. And Bradley Cooper sure is dreamy.

Back from one-act musicals and one-act play. The play, which ran about thirty-five minutes and seemed like thirty-five hours, was possibly the worst thing I've ever seen. About Vincent and Theo - how original. Awful. The two one-act musicals were sort of head scratchers - not bad but no real reason to be musicals.

Thanks for the congrats. I tell you, the last day of writing every book I've done is such a feeling of elation and exhaustion and craziness - and I always do it like this, a huge number of pages on the last day.

I am soooooooooo pissed off at myself. I gave the worst performance I have given in I-can't-even-remember number of years. Naturally, it was the night that the two critics were there. It was like a self-fulfilling prophecy. I know that this one critic does not like my work, so what do I do? I give him a performance not to like. Damn it to Hell!

I think I would prefer to sit thru HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 a few dozen times, than have to sit thru HOBSON'S CHOICE once.

Good morning. When i read in my yahoo headlines about the Aussie fires, I came straight here to make sure Tom and Colin were safe. VIBES to them and all their friends and neighbors that there are no more deaths reported and the fires are under control soon. How awfully scary.

~~~CONTINUED VIBES FOR TOMOVOZ AND COLIN AND ALL DOWN UNDER!!~~~
