I suppose that next you'll ask to have a tape of the Due South series
finale before they show it in Canada sometime next winter or spring.

I'm not a TV producer, or involved in TV production. I'm just a guy on the
east coast that loves L&C. What can I say? I'm a FoLC!!!
:-)
I emailed back and forth several FoLCs, regarding ideas, suggestions, and hopes
for the show. At this point in time, many FoLCs speculate, hope, and wonder
whether or not L&C will be brought back to ABC, or any network.
Ask any FoLC around, on any bulletin board, or any chatroom. Personally, I
wanted L&C to stay on the air. If not at ABC, then the show could've been
picked up by one of the other networks. Remember "Cheers" back in the 80s?
Didn't it start on CBS before moving to NBC?
Just as an FYI - although a network "ends" a show, it doesn't necessarily have
to mean that it's OVER.
Think about it.
Back in the 70s-early 80s, Columbo was a series on TV. Now, Columbo pops up on
TV every now and again with a new TV movie... where else? ABC. By doing this,
ABC is able to get many viewers that tune into it, in addition to getting
ratings for the week. Plus, all the fans that watched the show previously,
probably look at the guide and say "hey, Columbo's on tonight!" Ya know?
Anything is possible. If Columbo can be brought back to TV for a television
movie, why not L&C?

Hi Mike, I agree! Hart to Hart was cancelled (also by ABC hmmm....) and
then brought back as
TV movies on NBC. Not to mention the king of the come back Star Trek, we
all know how well that little experiment turned out....So I refuse to lose
faith, little miracles happen everyday so why not a FoLC miracle?

execs. So...no.
But in a few years, who knows? :) I for one would love to see a movie.
But yeah, there isn't one.

Actually, "Cheers" was on NBC for its entire 11 year run. But I
agree with your point. Another example might be "Bablyon 5"; its fate
was so close to L&C that I can only wish that the same thing could
have happened. They got their 5th and last season on TNT, with the
show picking up in production exactly where it left off from
syndication (except for the reluctant Claudia Christian).
"Matlock" was another show that started on NBC and went to ABC. They
were always changing supporting characters (including at one point Bad
Brain Johnson's brother Herkimer, Daniel Roebuck?). Well, anyway, I
liked Andy.

The "Columbo" thing is really something I wish Teri Hatcher had
thought about. When "Columbo" started on NBC in 1971 (jeez, has it
been that long?) it was part of a revolving threesome of shows;
"McMillan and Wife" and "McCloud" were the other two. Peter Falk was
a movie star and never wanted to do regular series TV. "Columbo" was
far and away the most popular of the three and the network tried
unsuccessfuly to get Falk to change the format to every week. He
refused and the show ceased regular production in 1977. There were
occasional Columbo movies made after that, but in 1989 ABC started
producing new movies regularly again as part of the "ABC Mystery
Movie." I think the ABC connection ran its course by 1993, although I
believe new movies still pop up now and again.
"Perry Mason" was another show that was revived by a series of movies,
until Raymond Burr passed away. It did very well with two or three a
year.
Yes, anything can happen, but there are two problems here. One is
that while an older Columbo or Perry Mason is okay to watch, a
geriatric Superman or Lois might not be. The second problem is Mrs.
Tenny. Columbo was a loner. Everyone from the original "Perry Mason"
that was still alive made it into the movies. L&C without Teri would
be a different show. Perhaps an iffy proposition.

Absolutely. JAG is another one of my favorite shows. But, you know,
they started out with a different girl on NBC. I can't remember her
now to save my soul. I guess I've really grown attached to the young
lady on there now (Ms kickboxer).
Hey, it's really like Lois and Clark if you equate the slezy civilian
lawyer guy to Lex.

Actually I equate the sleazy CIA/State Department guy Clayton Webb to Lex.

played the sleazy shrink on L & C during the clone arc. Anyway, DJ is
long dead and gone from JAG.
THe original blonde was Tracey Needham. If you check out the Jag
lists, there are many who refuse to believe she is long gone also.
Catherine Bell who plays Mac has picked up a lot of fans. She is very
attractive, very tough, but also has a vulnerable side.
Anyway, half the messages on the Jag lists are about whether Mac and
Harm will get together. Word is there will be no romance this upcoming
season, but us Mac/Harm shippers watch their every move and are
convinced their getting together eventually!!
The week before the premiere, CBS will be running JAG every night (!) so
you'll have a great chance to see how JAG works....

Actually...it's Dalton Lowne. As harm said in one episode "Lowne, like
clown." Larry P just has playing a slime ball down, doesn't he?

What lists are you on? All I see (and all that is more believable) is when
are Mac and the Admiral going to get together? Mac and harm just don't
make a good match. And don't get me wrong, I love both characters, and
much prefer Mac over Lt Barbie (tracie needham), but the two just don't go
together romantically. I look forward to the day when CBS tries a spinoff
show called "Mac and The Admiral" about when the two leave the service,
get married, and open a kick butt private detective and or lawyer office.
> The week before the premiere, CBS will be running JAG every night (!) so

yes, JAG is a marvelous show, and I look forward to the week. Even if I
have seen almost all episodes twice already! It has gotten better with
time, and I like the ensemble feel it is growing into. And I like the
character development of Harm, going from brash young hot dog, to trying
to be a good commander/confidant of the Admiral (though his peers aren't
quite buying it yet). I like how even the part time characters like
Harriet have well developed and realistically differing relationships with
all four of the "main" characters. All and all...well worth the hour!

JAG stands for Judge Advocate General. It's aTV show about two lawyers (man
and woman) in the military forces, surely inspired in A few good men. But
here, the male character is a former pilot who can't fly anymore due to a
sight problem, but he keeps showing off in every ep. It's interesting, even
if you're not the kind of lawyers' shows, because there's lots of field
action.

Night vision problem to be specific. And the night vision problem is probably
only a problem with landing on a carrier. He can probably land on a regular
airstrip at night. This is why he has storylines in which he flys.
Since you know what JAG means do you know was CAG means. I think it might be
Commander of the Air Group, but, I'm not sure.

I'm sorry, I'm not very good at acronysms. The meaning of JAG is in the
titles, in the last season, the one without Tracey Needham - BTW, I loved
the interaction between these two. The new lady means nothing to me.

CAG does stand for Commander Air Group, but Air squadrons no longer
comprise a 'group'. They are now an air wing, so it really should be
CAW. Since that's a pretty wimpy-sounding title, they've kept CAG.
On a carrier, this person is in charge of all airplanes and pilots.
There are probably exceptions and other duties, but that's probably
more than most people in this news group are interested in.

Actually his vision problem is night blindness. He can fly perfectly
well in the daytime, but as a lot of carrier landings take place at
night, and carrier landings are pretty tricky business anyway,
he was no longer qualified to be a carrier pilot.
