Cleaning chores are finished, and I just jumped back on the net a minute to check the soap summary at TVGUIDE.com.

Off to read a bit and then finish THE SPITFIRE GRILL.

I haven't read last night's "Emmy chat", so I don't know what anyone else thought, but I have to just state flat out that Patricia Arquette -- as wonderful as I think she is in "The Medium" -- made one of the worst "awards show appearances" by any actress in recent memory!

That dress and her hair -- gadzooks. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.

Some people apparently can not only NOT dress themselves, but cannot be trusted to find someone who CAN dress them.

I will give it another chance tonight and will hang around for KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL. I will be recording HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. I'm hoping these two comedies will recapture some of the zing that has been missing from comedies

I truly enjoy ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, but I think it is an acquired taste -- like olives. I also enjoy(ed) EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND. The characters remind me so much of people I knew when I lived in New York / New Jersey. And even when an episode would start out being rather boring, I could usually count on haivng a big smile (or a few tears) on my face by the end of the episode. I think my favorite episode revolved around everyone thinking that Robert might be gay, but the surprise twist at the end was that it was Raymond who found himself attracted to the UPS delivery guy. Very funny episode.

DR Tomovoz - Such sweet bears and such sweet stories for each one! Thank you for sharing.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #158 on:** September 19, 2005, 05:14:11 PM »

Really hadn't thought to post all that until DR's Elmore's request. Guess we need to give the Birthday Boy some credit.

TED is quite likely to join the HHW gang. He'll need to either improve his spelling substantially or find out more about "spell check". (I don't think he knows much about the internet but I could be way way wrong!)

Evening all!

Well, I missed Meat Loaf. I opened the paper at lunch time to find he’s doing a one night only concert over in Clearwater. Aww well. I love Meat Loaf but…….. Even with Bonnie, I’m not brave enough to cross the Causeway Bridge, alone, at night.

Lovely pictures of the Bears, DR TomovOz. No sign of a bunny. Did he hop away?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #160 on:** September 19, 2005, 05:21:59 PM »

The bunny is in Tasmania DR Danise - with Jamie (Derek's brother) at the moment.

I'm making some white rice right now. I think I'm done doing things for the day. After all, what did the day do for me that I should keep doing things for the fershluganah day? I wrote two pages of the new story - feeling my way and trying to get the form and voice right. I think it will be fun to do, but the beginnings are always hard, just like the last story took me about a week to get the first couple of pages right.

Younger?

HAH!

Where are "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel"?

True enough. Guess I just meant I wasn't including anything from the 60s and very little 70s. Only 3 current shows made my cut... and West Wing is sadly well past its prime. What can I say? I'm a picky viewer.

Danise · « **Reply #165 on:** September 19, 2005, 05:37:01 PM »

My TV line up

6-7   Star Trek
7-8   Babylon 5
7-9   a movie or switch out with some other shows like Buck Rogers, Night Stalker, The Outer Limits, The 4400, Lost, Dark Shadows, Cusade, The other Star Trek Shows, etc, etc, etc.

9-11   I’d be in bed so it wouldn’t matter anyway!

Back to work. I love KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL. Very funny, very New Yawk.

DRJed, I thought WEST WING and its odor of highfalutin' sanctimony was over after the first episode I caught!

Stages, and Harvey Schmidt arrived Saturday at work, but I wasn't there. So I got them tonight.

Stages brings back fond memories of when by chance I found the LP at Sam the Record Man in Montreal. It was one of my favorite show LPs. I remember when I was at McGill U, I try to get it produced at Player's Theater. But I tried to track Bruce Kimmel to get permission. I called Varese and they could help. I called LACC theater dept and they couldn;t help. Then I tried the phone books. No luck. But it turned out that 20 years later I finally did track down Bruce Kimmel, but by then I was no longer at McGill.

I am really enjoying it and it sounds great.

I do have a question.
What exactly did Robert Armin do with the digital restoration?

td · « **Reply #174 on:** September 19, 2005, 06:34:20 PM »

tomovoz - I love the bears!
danise - I love Meat Loaf!
mbarnum - BUFFY, ANGEL, THE X FILES, THE NIGHT STALKER, OUTER LIMITS, NIGHT GALLERY and THE TWILIGHT ZONE would all be on my personal schedule.
elmore - DON'T RENT BEN AND ARTHUR! unless, of course, you thought that A SLICE OF TERROR was a good film!

Robert did the digital cleanup on the four tracks we had to take from the LP. The album masters and the second reel of multitracks were missing.

Just got word that Joel Hirshhorn has died. Joel and partner Al Kasha wrote The Morning After and We May Never Love Like This Again, as well as many other songs. I really liked him very much. I had lunch with him and Al and we talked about doing an album of their songs, but I hadn't started the new label yet and it just sort of slipped by the wayside. I saw him last year when he came to What If and wrote a splendid review for Variety.

And I just read an interview with him on the Towering Inferno tribute site. It seemed that the guy who put it together didn't like the song and thought it was lame. Joel had read this and contacted him. He ended up doing an interview with him.

Here is the link to the page.
