Conference ljsrv1::tv_chatter

    I was very enthusiastic about this (even tho I don't care for her
    acting...long time ago saw her in a tv movie as a complete and utter 
    no talent ditzball and that was/is her style like nervous fidgity...
    anyhow the impression stuck)
    BUT  I thought I'd give it a shot since I love all this high tech
    stuff/sci-fi/X-Files/ anything that challenges the imagination...
    Watched the premier last week...it was ok (David McCallum wow!
    remember him (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.?) then saw it last nite
    and I'm sitting there thinking this could get  `old`  fast....
    But I'll probably watch it next week anyhow... jury is out on this for
    now.....
                      

    I liked the first show, missed the second.  I know what you mean
    about her style of acting.  At first, I thought that was her
    character, but I saw her interviewed and she is the exact same way
    in real life.  So far, I like it.

    	I happened to be home Friday night, so I watched this show ...
    	I liked it, mostly.  I think I was expecting more VR than I
    	got, which explains the "mostly" opinion.  The VR was good,
    	the rest of the show was good "filler".
    
    	I've only seen Lori Singer a couple times ... "Footloose" and
    	"Trouble in Mind" [?], and thought she did OK.
    

	I have allwasy liked Lori Singer.  I really don't like her that much
	in VR5.  but I loved her in Footloose, Man w/ one Red Shoe, and The
	Night of the Comet.  Her are some other things she had appeard in
	for those of us who do like her work.

    Just watched the second episode on tape last night, and it was
    terrific!  Great visuals, excellent story line, wonderful bad
    guys, and WIl Patton is terrific as a good guy/bad guy who acts both
    mysteriously evil and your best friend.  I've always liked his work,
    and he is at his creepy best here.
    
    Also, Lori Singer is proving to be a very good actress so far.

    You musta had Your glove and glasses on for this one. She Cannot
    act in capital letters....but I have to agree..  Will Patton is
    a very very good actor...(what the heck is he doing on this show?)
    
    Even every time she crosses over, the effect is the same...can't
    they vary the water bubbles a bit?   I know I'm getting picky
    cause I expected more,  MUCH more....
    
    Maybe it will improve as it goes along...the X-Files did!

    Did anyone watch Will Patton get killed?? Whoa  I was bummed...
    Looks like the previews for next week though might be interesting
    since his body is not where it should be... That guy (in the romantic
    Coffee commercials is in the previews also), this looks like the
    story line is heating up...

    Hello..is anybody home?    Last nites episode was pretty good, the
    gent from the Coffee commercials made his debut on this show...
    actually I thought he was excellent...your not sure if he's protecting
    Sidney or if he has a hidden agenda or a little of both...
    
    

    
    Thank you for pointing out the coffee man to me - I thought I'd seem
    him somewhere and I just could not place him.  I agree, he did do a
    good job.

    Do you think that was really Morgan in the deep freeze?  It was hard to
    tell?  Do you think her farther is in the freezer to?  I know he must
    be alive or holding up somewhere.
    
    I also liked Booth.  I wish he was around a bit longer

    Lou,
    
    Spoiler??
    
    I think her father is dead but frozen ...I think maybe Will mite
    still be alive??? I'm not sure about this   I didn't care for
    Booth too much but I do like the Coffee guy in a serious role he is
    a terrif bad guy..dont you think?

    I can't program my VCR...Am never home soon enough to catch VR5...DAMN! 
    I saw 2 episodes and I like it.  Good for a Friday night lead in for
    the X-Files.  Is there a distlist with updates?  If so, could I be
    included?
    
    thanks,
    Sandra

    
    	You can't program your VCR, or you don't know how?
    

    I, uh...well, dunno how (sheepishly said)..!  I know that the VCR has
    to be 'tuned' in to Channel 3 and at one time it was and then got
    disconnected and used elsewhere.  Now I can't tune it in.  After tuning
    it in, I *may* be able to figure the stupid thing out, but as of right
    now...uh uh.  This is quite embarassing!
    
    Sandra

    
    	No, I know what you mean ... the VCR has those "tuning knobs"
    	for each channel that are a pain in the butt to re-tune once
    	you lose the station.
    
    	Try this:
    
    	Turn on another TV in the house to channel 4 and see what's on
    	that one.  Then go to the VCR and tune the current channel 3
    	position to channel 4.  Turn the cable box to channel 4 and then
    	adjust the VCR knob up a bit until channel 4 comes back in,
    	which means you now have adjusted the VCR to channel 3.
    
    	Or buy a new VCR without those stupid knobs.  8^)
    

    Thanks alot!!!  I will try that.  hahahahahaha!!!  You're
    funny...actually I have *3* VCRs in my house.  One can be programmed
    (the one I can't do), another only 'plays', and no directions on the
    3rd!  Yes, I must admit I do accept hand_me_downs...!  ;)
    
    Thanks for the help...I will try that!  Yippee!!!!  I'll be able to
    tape shows!!!!  I can't wait!
    
    Thanks again

    I am stunned and disappointed that FOx cancelled this show.  Seems to
    me that Fox really doesn't understand how to build an audience, that
    unless a show is an instant hit, they have no patience.  It happened
    last year with Brisco County Jr. and it happened again with VR5.  This
    show simply got better and better with every episode.  Lori Singer
    surprised me by being a much better actress than I thought she was, and
    the special effects were excellent.

    it appears the networthlesses are cancelling everything.
    
    

    I'm not sure what criteria the FOX networks uses. I can't imagine that
    they're trying to compete with ABC, NBC, and CBS, so I don't think
    they use the Neilsen ratings as a criteria for canceling shows like
    VR5 or Briscoe County Jr. Maybe amount of viewer mail ?
    As the lead-in to the X Files, I thought VR5 was sure to succeed.

    I can't imaging that they're _not_ trying to compete with the networks,
    myself.
