Is there anything you have that you would not get again in the future? I have to get a printer and a scanner soon (starting a business) I like my MacG4 and I have a Sony moniter, which has a big screen and good color but isn't flat and takes up so much space. I wish I had gotten a flat one for a little more $. I also have to get a laser color copier that can be connected to images in the computer.

I'll be looking at the site every day in September to see if they commemorate SUPERTRAIN and SHERIFF LOBO. Speaking of NBC, since BUFFY's been in reruns and Melissa and I don't like GILMORE GIRLS, we've filled the Tuesday night TV void by taking a flyer on a few episodes of WATCHING ELLIE, the new Julia Louis-Dreyfus vehicle. While the show is only moderately funny at best (the problem isn't the real-time premise or the acting, it's the *writing* -- but what do you expect from Julia's hubby Brad Hall, former unfunny SNL WEEKEND UPDATE anchor and the genius behind THE SINGLE GUY?), we were very glad to have watched it last week since, to our complete surprise, the actress playing the wife of Ellie's married boyfriend was... ...Sherilyn Fenn. I haven't been this euphoric about a chance TV encounter since I was scanning the channels one night in 1998 and spotted Katy Selverstone in a clingy short-skirted supersexy buisness suit on an episode of Fox's horrid HOLDING THE BABY. Didn't have a tape handy to get the lingerie scene later... later, Miles ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 11:27:44 -0500 From: Chris Prew Subject: [loud-fans] TV Since its quiet.... My wife9s been busy with real estate lately, so I9ve actually been watching a little TV (besides watching the Timberwolves flush a wonderful breakthrough season down the toilet) while the baby9s in bed. Some pleasant surprises on FOX: Greg the Bunny, despite ads that make it look hideous, is actually pretty funny and well written. You can9t go wrong with Eugene Levy. The Andy Richter show is quite amusing, and Bernie Mac has given me a couple of chuckles too. And I9m enjoying the latest Jimmy Eat World pop-fest quite thoroughly. Fans of power-pop-punk should hesitate no longer on this band.

I'm not sure about Greg The Bunny (the one episode I saw had really awful writing) but the Andy Richter show has really surprised me -- I'm now loathe to miss it. The weird thing is that, as with Undeclared, they seem to be showing the episodes out of order! (In both cases, a relationship that started in the pilot was established-but-in-trouble in the next episode aired, but then incipient again in the third or fourth.) My favorite bit so far, for some reason, was the "lady-fying" exchange with the kids next door who worship Andy. a ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 13:38:05 -0700 (PDT) From: "Joseph M.

"It's like talking to a couple of bongs." Other great lines: "Why can't we call him black Andy?" "You can't call someone black Andy!" "Hola, grande Andy!" Best new show, hands down. J.
