others as well.)
The "Re: TV Reports......." are showing up for that day but not the original
message.
(And there were so many things I was looking forward to commenting on knowing
Sunday to a HUMONGOUS BIG nite full of (what is the phrase) " TONS and TONS and
TONS and TONS of visual pleasures.")
~~~~~FAREWELL PEANUTS~~~~~~~
Entering Y2K with no Snoopy
or Charlie Brown is not a good way to
begin a new era.

Hi, Friends-
This is my TV Report for Sunday January 9, 2000. This will be a
**GREAT** **GREAT** day in AFTI-LAND!! I hope you own MULTIPLE VCRs,
with LOTS of antennas, cable boxes, and satellite dishes connected to
them!!! :-)
All times listed are PACIFIC, so be SURE to check local listings for
the times in YOUR area.
NOTES:
1. KTLA is a local Los Angeles station (Ch. 5) which is also
available and seen on many cable and satellite systems. KTLA is a
primary WB Network affiliate.
2. PAX TV is a network that, depending on where you live, can be seen
via broadcast antenna, cable tv, satellite, OR some combination of all
three of those!
3. WGN is no longer broadcasting WB Network programming. Therefore,
I'll be listing such shows in time order as they appear on KTLA here
in Los Angeles. But I strongly suggest that you check your local WB
Network affiliate's listings for the specific times in your area. For
those of you who, due to WGN's dropping of The WB, no longer have a
local WB affiliate, see if you can tune in KTLA somehow, by cable or
satellite.
Here we GO!:
12:30 a.m. Disney Channel "SPIN AND MARTY" (:30)
(Terrific series from the mid-50s, starring young-to-middle-teen
actors TIM CONSIDINE and DAVID STOLLERY, along with youngster KEVIN
CORCORAN and a supporting cast of dozens of young actors very MUCH
worth watching!!)
(Hehe, that was all one sentence!)
1:00 a.m. USA "MEATBALLS III" (2:00)
(I'm kinda embarrassed to be recommending this, because, as a FILM, it
stinks. But the presence of older-teen-looking PATRICK DEMPSEY makes
this worth seeing. I don't know how he did it, but Patrick Dempsey
managed to get himself cast in a BUNCH of movies where his characters
constantly get laid. My particular favorite of his movies is
"Loverboy")
2:35 a.m. (KABC Ch.7 in L.A.) "ALAN AND NAOMI" (1:55)
(One of the best of young actors, LUKAS HAAS, stars in this 1991 film.
Lukas is WONDERFUL here, as usual, and I recommend ANYthing he's in!)
3:00 a.m. USA "MEATBALLS 4" (2:00)
(It wouldn't have shocked me to find this film mentioned by somebody
in our "Worst Movie" thread a few months ago, but what the heck. This
1992 film stars an older COREY FELDMAN, J. TREVOR EDMOND at around
15-16, and a bunch of other young actors. This *IS* a camp film,
after all, so there have to be CAMPERS)
4:25 a.m. The Movie Channel "SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET" (2:20)
(I never really had much interest in seeing this film. However, I was
flipping channels a couple of weeks ago, and I saw that one segment of
the film includes a young actor playing the Dalai Lama at age 8, and
another young actor playing the Dalai Lama at age 14!!! [Okay,
there's still ANOTHER young actor who plays the Dalai Lama at age 4,
but I didn't really think it necessary to mention that in a TEEN Idols
newsgroup. <g> ] Anyway, take a look at this film!)
5:00 a.m. TBS "JAWS 2" (2:35)
(Sequel to the hit, "Jaws." MARC GILPIN plays "Sean Brody," MARK
GRUNER plays "Mike," and DAVID ELLIOTT is "Larry." Of course, an
attractive cast of extras helps the viewing. Thanks to Daryld and
Maddog for their help with some of the cast here)
6:45 a.m. The Movie Channel "DREAM A LITTLE DREAM" (1:35)
(I'm a bit surprised to be seeing this on premium cable, i.e. with NO
edits or interruptions! Who's in this? COREY HAIM!!!!!! Oh yeah,
Corey Feldman is in this too. [Did I mention that Corey Haim is in
this?? In fact, he co-stars!] )
7:00 a.m. AMC "THE BABE RUTH STORY" (1:55)
(1948 bio-pic. "Babe Ruth as a Boy" is played by ROBERT ELLIS, age
approximately 14-15 when the film was made. Is this worth watching?)
ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GREAT BEAUTY ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7:00 a.m. HBO-Plus "SHIPWRECKED" (1:35)
(The star of this film, a Norwegian boy named STIAN SMESTAD, does a
very fine job in this U.S.-Norwegian co-production. But beyond that,
I think he's an absolutely beautiful kid. You all may know the story
about, when they were casting the role of "Tadzio" in "Death in
Venice" [1971], the producers literally did a worldwide search for
what they termed "The most beautiful boy in the world." If Stian
Smestad had been in the right age-range back in 1971, he DEFINITELY
would have given Bjorn Andresen a run for that title. He's that
beautiful, IMHO)
8:00 a.m. HBO "GATTACA" (1:50)
(This film stars a [much] older ETHAN HAWKE, BUT... the cast also
includes fine jobs done by young actors MASON GAMBLE, VINCENT NIELSON,
CHAD CHRIST, and WILLIAM LEE SCOTT, as younger versions of some of the
adult characters)
8:45 a.m. Showtime "AS GOOD AS IT GETS" (2:20)
(I had wanted to see this 1997 movie when it was in the theatres, but
never managed to make it. In the cast is young actor JESSE JAMES, age
7-8)
9:00 a.m. Discovery Channel "KIDS WEEKEND" (3:00)
(Lots of great stuff here. Episodes of "Real Kids, Real Adventures"
and "Outward Bound," and more, plus interludes BETWEEN shows, make for
a terrific block of programming!)
9:50 a.m. TBS "POLTERGEIST II: THE OTHER SIDE" (2:05)
(Second installment of the "Poltergeist" movies, from 1986, again
co-starring young actor OLIVER ROBINS, and starring young actress
Heather O'Rourke. However, I don't know if I would want to watch a
film which has a character named, "Vomit Creature." :-) )
10:30 a.m. Fox Family Channel "I WAS A 6th GRADE ALIEN" (:30)
(LOTS of 6th Graders in this show!! Co-stars DANIEL CLARK and RYAN
COOLEY, and includes the VERY handsome KYLE SCHMID. Did you happen to
see the episode with Kyle wearing tights for a school production???
Oh MY. Well, I caught that on tape at EP/SLP, but still would like it
at SP [greedy of me, huh?]. So should YOU!)
11:00 a.m. Fox Family Channel "S CLUB 7 IN MIAMI" (:30)
(Well, I've been recommending this show mainly for the handsome good
looks [and lots of beach scenes] involving 17-year-old JON/JOHN. I
received the following from Boink86: "S Club 7 are not - like the
Monkees or Partridge Family - a bunch of actors playing a band for a
TV series. They were a real act (I hesitate to use the word "band,"
since they only sing & dance and don't play instruments) with several
Top 40 singles in England before the BBC starting filming this show
and while they haven't made a dent in the US yet, they are still a top
UK recording act." Thanks for the info, Boink!)
11:00 a.m. Cinemax "SMALL SOLDIERS" (1:50)
(I was among the fortunate few to actually see this movie in a MOVIE
THEATRE. Hey, what a novel concept! <G> Anyway, this movie didn't
get such great reviews, but I personally thought it was a blast! It
was a LOT of fun! If you watch it without suspending some disbelief,
you might not like it. But if you watch it, relax, and DON'T ANALYZE
the plausability of things, you should enjoy it as much as I did. The
film's star is WONDERFUL and handsome young actor GREGORY SMITH!! He's
really good here, and made the movie even more watchable than it was
already. If you haven't seen this before, or even if you have, sit
back and ENJOY this movie!!!!)
11:00 a.m. TCM "FATHER OF THE BRIDE" (1:35)
(NOT the one you think it is! This is NOT the 1991 film with Kieran
Culkin; rather, it is the 1950 film. I haven't seen this one before,
so I specifically looked to see who in 1950 played the character
"Matty Banks," which is the part Kieran played. But I don't see that
particular character name listed. I *DO* see, however, the name of
young actor RUSS TAMBLYN as "Tommy Banks," who would have been about
15-16 when this was filmed. It does appear that there are other young
actors in this film.
11:05 a.m. Showtime "CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND" (2:20)
(IMHO, one of the VERY GREATEST films EVER MADE. It's right up there
in my top 5-6 films of ALL TIME, and I think it's a MUST SEE for
anyone, regardless of AFTI consideration. Richard Dreyfus' character
has a son in this, about 12 years old [thanks to Christopher for the
help], played by JUSTIN DREYFUS. Anyway, as I said, AFTI
considerations aside, this is a GREAT GREAT GREAT film, and is worth
your while!)
SYNDICATED (1:00 p.m. Ch.9 in L.A.) "HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS"
(1:00)
(This series co-stars young actor THOMAS DEKKER, age 11-ish. There
are often other young actors worth watching!)
1:00 p.m. Disney Channel "ESCAPE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN" (1:45)
(This is the 1995 made-for-TV version, starring ERIK VON DETTEN!!)
1:55 p.m. TBS "STEPHEN KING'S 'SILVER BULLET'" (2:05)
(Starring role for a 12 y.o. COREY HAIM, who does a GREAT job, as
usual!)
SYNDICATED (2:00 p.m. Ch.9 in L.A.) "HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS"
(1:00)
(See 1:00 p.m. above)
SYNDICATED (3:00 p.m. Ch.13 in L.A.) "BAYWATCH HAWAII" (1:00)
(Young actor CAMERON FINLEY is a semi-regular in this series!)
3:00 p.m. Disney Channel "Z GAMES" (:30)
(Kids from around the USA show off games they've invented. This is
strictly a visual recommendation, and as such, enjoy WATCHING it!)
3:30 p.m. Disney Channel "FLASH FORWARD" (:30)
(Stars the very funny and very cute BEN FOSTER!!)
4:00 p.m. Disney Channel "GROWING PAINS" (:30)
(Ongoing repeats of the fun series, starring popular and handsome
teen-idol KIRK CAMERON, and co-starring pre-teen-to-teen actor JEREMY
MILLER)
4:00 p.m. HBO-Plus "TWILIGHT ZONE--THE MOVIE" (1:45)
(A movie with some GREAT visual pleasures, as well as interesting
stories! Co-stars SCOTT NEMES, EVAN RICHARDS, and CHRISTOPHER
EISENMANN, and *stars* JEREMY LICHT in a terrific performance as a
sweet but evil boy!)
4:30 p.m. Disney Channel "GROWING PAINS" (:30)
(See 4:00 p.m. above)
5:00 p.m. Disney Channel "SMART GUY" (:30)
(Disney is now airing episodes of this WB series, starting with the
very first season! This stars then-10-year-old TAHJ MOWRY as a boy
genius in high school with his brother and the brother's best friend.
The brother is played by excellent teen actor JASON WEAVER, who
unfortunately is not given any challenging work to do here. A
reasonably enjoyable show, overall, with some episodes that are
especially worth watching!)
5:30 p.m. Disney Channel "SMART GUY" (:30)
(See 5:00 p.m. above)
5:30 p.m. Showtime "AS GOOD AS IT GETS" (2:20)
(See 8:45 a.m. above)
(ARE YOU READY FOR THIS EVENING'S PROGRAMMING??? I SURE HOPE YOU ARE,
BECAUSE IT'S AN AMAZINGLY **EXCELLENT** LINE-UP, WITH TOO MUCH GOOD
STUFF FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE!!!)
6:00 p.m. Disney Channel "THE FAMOUS JETT JACKSON" (:30)
(Enjoyable series starring handsome and athletic teen actor LEE
THOMPSON YOUNG! If you saw the TV Movie "Johnny Tsunami," you know
that Lee can certainly shine at acting, too!)
6:00 p.m. Fox Family Channel "THE NIGHT OF THE TWISTERS" (2:00)
(Teen superstar DEVON SAWA shows off his acting muscles in this very
well done TV movie!!)
6:00 p.m. HBO "GATTACA" (1:50)
(See 8:00 a.m. above)
6:00 p.m. MTV "BACKSTREET BOYS LIVE SPECIAL" (2:00)
(I saw this a previous time it was on, and it was pretty good. Fans
of the group will especially like it. NICK CARTER does get a fair
amount of attention)
6:00 p.m. Nickelodeon "ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?" (:30)
(Repeats from the series' very last season have been airing in this
time slot the past couple of weeks. Remember, virtually ALL of the
episodes in this series' history have at least one young actor of
interest in them!! This is a MUST-SEE SERIES!!!!!)
SYNDICATED (6:30 p.m. Ch.7 in L.A.) "ROGER EBERT & THE MOVIES" (:30)
(I always cringed when Siskel & Ebert did their annual "Worst Movies
of 19XX" show; this one is for 1999, and is the first one since the
death of Gene Siskel. The reason I cringed is that, though talented
critics, they seemed to always have it in for films featuring young
actors. Evidence: "North" was BOTH of their "Worst Film of 1994."
"Little Indian, Big City" was BOTH of their "Worst Film of 1996," and
it's USA remake, "Jungle 2 Jungle" was BOTH of their "Worst Film of
1997"!!!!! I mean, C'MON NOW!!!!!!! There were some wonderful,
GREAT, terrific, EXCELLENT movies in 1999 with young actors in
prominent roles, and I just HOPE none makes it onto Ebert's or his
guest critic's "10 Worst" lists this time!!)
7:00 p.m. CBS "60 MINUTES" (1:00)
(One of the stories tonight is about adoption)
7:00 p.m. KTLA "7th HEAVEN" (1:00)
(Repeat episode from a previous season. This is yet aNOTHER airing of
the one in which the parents are at the hospital and run into the
doctor who delivered and nearly killed Matt. I have one message to
the programming folks: IF YOU'RE GOING TO SHOW REPEAT EPISODES, TRY
SHOWING SOME VARIETY!!!!!!!! DANG! They keep showing the same few
repeat episodes over and over and over and over, and I'm getting
really tired of it. As good as DAVID GALLAGHER is in this series, I'm
really tired of seeing him find out about his friend's cancer. And
I'm similarly tired of THIS episode. Sheesh!)
<getting off my soapbox>...
7:00 p.m. PAX TV "TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL" (1:00)
(This is EPISODE #1!!! It shares a pre-recorded tape, available at
many stores such as Wal*Mart, K-Mart, Target, Tower, etc., along with
Episode #100 guest-starring JOSEPH CROSS!!! *THIS* episode
guest-starring 10-ish young actor T.J. LOWTHER!!!!!! This is VERY
good, and T.J. is VERY GOOD IN it!!!)
7:00 p.m. A&E "LAW & ORDER" (1:00)
(TV Guide's description: "A teacher's affair leads to her husband's
murder." Is the affair with a student, or with an adult?? ARE there
young folks in this one?)
7:00 p.m. Disney Channel "SO WEIRD" (:30)
(Until mid-way through this season, this series co-starred ERIK VON
DETTEN! Also in the cast, still, is PATRICK LEVIS! One episode
guest-starred Kevin Zegers!!! TV Guide describes this one as follows:
"Fi learns the unsettling truth about a boy genius." Does anyone know
who guests as the boy genius?)
NEW SEASON CONTINUES:
7:00 p.m. Nickelodeon "THE JOURNEY OF ALLEN STRANGE" (:30)
(Everyone who's read this group for any length of time knows that I
like this series. [I like stranded alien stories, especially when
they are sympathetic characters.] Anyway, what makes the series so
enjoyable for me to watch is the starring job done by the "geekily
cute" ARJAY SMITH!! Also helping this along is the co-starring job
done by SHANE SWEET)
7:30 p.m. Nickelodeon "THE SECRET WORLD OF ALEX MACK" (:30)
(TV Guide's description: "Alex, Louis and Ray save a kid trapped in a
pipe, but it's Louis who takes the credit." I don't know who plays
the kid, and nor do I know what teen actors play Louis and Ray. Do
YOU?)
ALERT! NEW MOVIE! ALERT!
8:00 p.m. Fox Family Channel "BRITANNIC" (2:00)
(This is a brand-spankin'-new TV Movie!! The ad in TV Guide sure
doesn't show the boy or boys who are prominently featured in the TV
commercials for this movie, but from what I can gather, this movie
features the young folk PROMINENTLY!!!!!! The main boy appears to be
in the 10-11-ish range, though that's just a guess. This will be
shown again tonight at 10:00 p.m. And knowing the Fox Family Channel,
we can anticipate that this will be shown again several times in the
next couple of months, so if you need to prioritize shows for TONIGHT,
I'd guess you can probably catch this one later on tonight or another
day, and tape *other* things now. Does anyone know who plays the main
boy, or any other boys who might be in it?)
8:00 p.m. MTV "FANATIC" (:30)
(Fans from "Joysey" get to interview Britney Spears and THE BACKSTREET
BOYS)
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HERE IT COMES!!!!!!!!
CAN MARCUS HANDLE THIS???????????
CAN MADDOG HANDLE IT EITHER??????
WE'VE SURE WAITED A LONG TIME FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARE YOU READY???????????????????????????????????????
ALERT OF THE DAY!!!!!!!!
ALERT OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALERT OF THE MONTH!!!!!????????!!!!!!!!!!??????????
8:30 p.m. Fox "MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE" (:30)
(Debut episode of one of the most anticipated TV programs in the last
year or more in AFTI-LAND!! This show has gotten AMAZING press!!!
The reviews, from critics who usually DON'T go for shows with kids in
them, are RAVING about this series!! They are RAVING about it's star,
FRANKIE MUNIZ, calling him a MAJOR talent!! It's a SURE-FIRE HIT, at
the very least with us, and likely with the country! Starring is the
aforementioned FRANKIE MUNIZ, and co-starring are some kid named
JUSTIN BERFIELD, and some other kid named ERIK PER SULLIVAN.
I previously mentioned that the L.A. Times' lead film critic, Howard
Rosenberg, wrote a GREAT review of the show, appearing on the top of
the front page of the Calendar [Arts and Entertainment] Section, which
I'd encourage you to find on-line and read! The headline of the
review says: "'Malcolm' Is Season's Midyear Savior". The first
paragraph says: "Fox's new 'Malcolm in the Middle' is the wittiest,
smartest, sharpest-written, most original comedy of the season. As a
bonus, no laugh track, and not a stand-up comic in sight." The ending
quote: "If 'Malcolm in the Middle' isn't granted more than 15 minutes
of fame, we're all through."
The Times also has another feature article about "Malcolm in the
Middle," written by Staff Writer Susan King. Look for this one on
their web site too.
ENJOY!!!)
9:00 p.m. CBS "PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS" (2:00+)
(There might be young folk there, including Haley Joel Osment!)
9:00 p.m. NBC "THE DAVID CASSIDY STORY" (2:00)
(TV Movie based on one of the most popular teen-idols ever, DAVID
CASSIDY. David is played by actor Andrew Kavovit, who, it appears, is
about 29 years old. IMDb doesn't list much of the cast, so I guess
it's possible that there will be young actors playing David at younger
ages, and possibly playing the other members of "The Partridge Family"
cast. Do any of you have any information about all this?)
ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9:00 p.m. E! Channel "TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY" (1:00)
(Premier airing of a look at JAY NORTH, the incredibly cute young
actor who starred as "Dennis the Menace" in the 1960s, along with
other shows and movies such as "Maya." Jay was treated horribly, and
was terribly abused on set and off. He ended up suffering from
serious emotional problems, from which he's still to this day yet to
recover. This will probably be a hard hour to watch, but it's an
IMPORTANT one. Yes, there are certainly protections for young actors
which didn't exist back in the 60s, but even today's young actors are
at risk. This is MUST-SEE viewing, IMO. If you can't catch it
tonight, due to other great programming, this will be repeated a few
other times. It will be on tomorrow, Monday 1/10, at 10:00 a.m. and
4:00 p.m., Thursday 1/13 at 9:00 p.m., and Friday 1/14 at 10:00 a.m.
and 4:00 p.m. You can read more about Jay and this special, at:
http://www.eonline.com/On/Holly/Popup/episode.north.html )
CHECK YOUR PBS STATION (10:00 p.m. Ch.28 in L.A.) "CROWN AND
COUNTRY" (1:00)
(Prince Edward hosts a series of programs looking at landmarks in
Great Britain. Tonight's episode focuses on London, and includes a
look at Westminster Abbey. Westminster Abbey has a world-class boys
choir, and if we're lucky, we'll get to see and hear them in this
show!)
ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10:00 p.m. E! Channel "TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY" (1:00)
(This episode is a repeat of the one shown in the middle of December,
focusing on one of my favorites, MACAULAY CULKIN!! I'm sure that
there will be plenty of the "dark side" of Mac's career, probably
mostly in the name of his father, Kit "I destroyed my son's career
because I'm a REAL JERK" Culkin. This is *MUST-SEE* viewing!!!)
ALERT! NEW MOVIE! ALERT!
10:00 p.m. Fox Family Channel "BRITANNIC" (2:00)
(See 8:00 p.m. above)
10:05 p.m. TBS "CRITTERS" (2:00)
(1986 film, starring one of my mid-80s favorites, SCOTT GRIMES!!!
Scott would have been 14-15 when this was made)
10:30 p.m. HBO "JAWBREAKER" (1:30)
(I still haven't had a chance to check out this movie, which debuted,
I believe, on New Year's Day. This is a 1999 high-school film. In
the cast is young actor CHAD CHRIST, whose age is unknown to me. Have
any of you taken a look at this movie yet??)
WHEW!!!! That's all I have for a VERY busy day!! Please be sure to
add things for which I don't have listings, about which I don't know,
or things which I plain and simple missed.
PLEASE answer my questions!!!!!
Please also add your opinions and comments. You all know I throw out
plenty of my own, so the group needs the balance of reading YOUR
opinions and YOUR comments and YOUR reviews. PLEASE!!!
And that's it for a TRULY GREAT day. :-)
Happy Viewing!

5 year old child actor HAYDEN TANK also stars in this. As I mentioned in the
post "My 3 VCRs will be taping loads tonight" that at such a young age, Hayden
already has several very notable roles & we will most definitely be seeing more
of him in the future. Soap fans who remember the actor playing David Cassidy
(Andrew Kavovit) as once playing Paul Stenbeck on AS THE WORLD TURNS (hes the
one who took Danny Pintauros place when Danny left the soap to go to WHOS THE
BOSS) may also remember HAYDEN TANK a few years ago playing Victor Newman's son
on YOUNG & RESTLESS. But Hayden is more substantially noted for playing in the
Sissy Spacek, Alicia Silversone, Brendan Frasier movie BLAST FROM THE PAST.
Also RULES OF ENGAGEMENT with Tommy Lee Jones, Kim Delaney, Samuel Jackson.
If anything---with his blondish hair, Hayden will more than likely be playing
perhaps one of David's little brothers---like Shaun Cassidy as a 4 or 5 year
old---or possibly David himself as a toddler---if they dye his blond hair a
darker color.

I have a local ISP that started using SuperNews a few months ago. I
haven't noticed any problems with lagging. I imagine there are a bunch
of local ISP's out there that use SuperNews.

I also subscribe to SUpernews which I can use to upload posts for posting pics,
etc.
I can post a whole slew of pics there & I am lucky if 3 pics hits AOL out of a
total of 10 posted. However usually all of the ~READ~ or 0/1 posts hit
because they are small.
But when I key up the Newsgroup on Supernews, I find all 10 pics hit there
fine.
I think AOLs Usenet machines have trouble catching some posts during moments
its probably tied up.
Probably too much money for AOL to spend to soupe up their Usenet engines. I
mean its not like AOL makes probably millions, if not billions of $$ a day with
all of the number of subscribers it has.
(Clears throat!)
And their posting techniques of only being able to post approx 30 KB posts is
really the pits.
(Unless that has changed recently. Being with Supernews, I havent even tried
using AOL Usenet to post with.)

<getting off my soapbox>...
Is this the one where the mother finally has the babies?????
I HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS & MONTHS FOR THAT EPISODE to play !!!
Hope that is NOT the one you are condemning as being played over & over because
I know this episode has not played since I started watching it every week in
August.
