In "Welcome to Korea," the shots of Hawkeye and Radar racing the jeep at high
speeds through the countryside have a jerky quality that suggests time
compression. Initially, I thought that the oddity could be explained by the
syndication cuts; I was, therefore, surprised to find similar jerkiness on the
Columbia House version. Is this time compression, or something else?

It was time compression. It was the only way we could make it seem as though
our clunky old jeep could appear to be going swiftly.

Wow - cool question and answer.

(LG - it's heartening to know you'll stay up to the wee hours of the morning to
check the ng after a great interview on Tom Snyder [if that show was indeed
broadcast in "real" time, which I assume it is since it is a call in show] Book
sounds funny. )

I don't think that Tom is broadcast in real time in a lot of markets.
I've heard Tom say a few times that his show is right after Letterman.
Well, not in my market. In my market, Letterman is on 10:30-11:30
(Central Time), MASH 11:30-12:00, Star Trek (take your pick... Voyager,
DS9, ST:TNG, or the original, depending on the day of the week)
12:00-1:00, and THEN Tom comes on at 1:00 AM. That's not right after
Letterman.

The frequency with which I contribute to this ng is in direct ratio to the
amount of work I'm trying to avoid doing.
