	You mean the one that had the guest appearance on Three's Company
	is the "Throw Mamma ..." one, not the younger Anne Ramsey?

               [Anne Ramsay] [Mad About You]

 Helen Hunt
 Jaime Buchman
                    (Lisa Stemple)
 Leila Kenzle       Before she was widely known for her own work as an
 Fran Devanow       actress, Anne Ramsay had to include her middle name --
                    Elizabeth -- to distinguish herself from the late
 Maui               Oscar winner Anne Ramsay, who played the irksome
 Murray             mother in the feature film "Throw Momma from the
                    Train." Before signing on as a luckless single woman
 John Pankow        in "Mad About You," the younger Ramsay did her own
 Ira Buchman        throwing in the hit feature "A League of Their Own,"
                    playing a first-basewoman on an all-female baseball
 Anne Ramsay        team in the 1940s. "I was a tomboy as a kid, and that
 Lisa Stemple       made me perfect for the role," says Ramsay, who broke
                    her nose during the rough-and-tumble filming.

 Paul Buchman       Born and raised in Southern California, Ramsay was
                    inspired as a child by Barbra Streisand's performance
 [Image]            in the feature "Funny Girl." She eventually graduated
                    from UCLA with a B.A. in theater. She notched her
                    first professional role in an industrial film and
                    worked in the Continuum, an acting group of UCLA
                    alumni whose 1987 production of "Waiting" (which she
                    co-wrote) won them acclaim and landed her an agent.

                    Ramsay guest-starred on "A Year in the Life,"
                    "Booker," "Wolf," "Hunter," "Duet" and "Star Trek: The
                    Next Generation," among other series. She was a series
                    regular as a nutty psychiatrist on "Doctor, Doctor."
                    In addition to "A League of Their Own," her feature
                    films include "Class Action" (with Gene Hackman),
                    "Critters 4," "The Taste of Hemlock," "Unfinished
                    Business," "Perfect Alibi" (with Teri Garr) and "Final
                    Cut." She also co-starred in "Murder of Innocence," a
                    TV movie starring Valerie Bertinelli.

                    Although her character, Lisa, is still evolving,
                    Ramsay sizes her up this way: "I love playing
                    characters who seem to be on top of it but are not.
                    She's very artsy, dresses in funky clothes and thinks
                    she's independent -- but really is very dependent,
                    especially on her sister."

                    Ever athletic, Ramsay enjoys jogging and playing beach
                    volleyball, but she admits to a weakness for Nintendo
                    games.

                    Anne Ramsay's birthday is September 1.

	I've never watched the show, but the "Mr. Rhodes" show tonight
	on NBC is supposed to feature a mini-sweathogs (from "Welcome
	Back Kotter") reunion.  The previews showed a couple of the
	sweathogs, and it didn't include John Travolta.

    re: 24
    
    It didn't have Gabe Kaplan either - just a really bad
    impersonator of him.

> It didn't have Gabe Kaplan either - just a really bad

	I never cared for him anyways (especially those boring stories
	at the end of the show).

	Other than "Freddie", the other 2 guys looked like crap (one
	has put on a bit of weight, the other appears to of spent too
	much time in the sun).

	And the jokes were pretty lame (especially the John Travolta reference).

	And thank goodness I watched it from tape so I could fast forward
	through the rest of the show, I can see why I've never watched
	the show before!

    Wow, now I'm really in love with her.

	'Hawaii Five-O' makes a comeback

 Book 'em, Dano!
 Production is to start next month on an hour-long pilot for a new version
of "Hawaii Five-O," TV's longest-running crime show.
 CBS spokesman Teri Corigliano said the cast will be a mix of Hollywood
and local actors.  Hawaii Film Office manager Georgette Deemer said producers
are considering using some of the main actors from the original show if they
are interested.
 The actor who will play Steve McGarrett, head of a fictitious state crime
busting agency, has not been disclosed.  Jack Lord, the star of the 1968-80
series, still lives in Hawaii, but is retired.
 Corigliano said the pilot, being produced by Stephen J. Cannell Productions
and CBS Television, could lead to a 13 or 22 episode series.

This show ran until 1980?  I thought that was a misprint and it should have
said "70".  Then again, if it only ran 3 years it wouldn't be the longest.

Being a connoisseur of this train-wreck of a TV show, I have mixed feelings
about this.

The thing that made Five-0 such fun for me to watch is just how bad Jack
Lord's acting was, and how trivially moralistic all the stories were.  The
typical 70's Hollywood misinterpretation of pop culture was just frosting
on the cake.

I got to know the original series by the progression of the sidekicks who
weren't Dan-O or Chen.  My favorite were the early Kono years.

It's a shame, 'cause during the 80s, when I'd occasionally find this show
in reruns, I never did get to see any of the really good red-baiting Wo Fat
episodes.

Somehow, I just don't think a remake is going to make it if for no other
reason than the fact that Ford no longer makes cars the size of "The Big
Island" for McGarrett to go screeching around in.
