Ok, the trade ads for Baywatch Seasons 1 and 2 state "contains bonus
episodes from the lost pilot season". What is the lost pilot season, the NBC
episodes?? Shouldn't that be season 1?

Uniblab...
From what I read on tvshowsondvd, this new "season 1" release is season 1 of
the syndicated series (i.e. the second season). The NBC episodes were rarely
played when the show went into syndicated reruns, so it's not too surprising
that they're starting the DVDs with the syndicated episodes.

Jude Cormier...
Not even "Step by Step".....that one will only get a "best of" release...to
test the waters.

Josh Hutcherson...
Given the sad, sad state of comedy on network prime time (Hope & Faith,

I cannot *believe* H&F is still going. Mostly because I cannot believe no
one has assassinated Kelly Ripa.

Jude Cormier...
H&F is not still going. It was canceled in May.

Anim8rFSK...
That's one out of two. Now for Ripa.

Jude Cormier...
Let's call Regis :D

Anim8rFSK...
I say he brings the guy from AMERICAN'S GOT TALENT that catches a
flaming bowling ball full of knives on his face, and they teach Kelly
how to do it . . .

Jude Cormier...
Better yet, get Regis to ask David Hasselhoff to sing to her :)

Anim8rFSK...
or make a career out of putting her in his videos, where she'll never be
seen again!!!


Still Standing), Step By Step stands out as stellar comedic
programming. Did the end of 'Seinfeld' (and the beginning of 'Survivor'
and other generic "reality"-based shows) start the fast slippery slope
of the extinction of the sitcom??? The end of 'Friends' must have been
the great bugle call.

Bart Van Hemelen...
Current sitcoms:
My Name Is Earl
Everybody Hates Chris
The Office
How I Met Your Mother
Scrubs
(and Weeds is pretty funny too, ditto Entourage)

But then again, if you consider Step By Step "stellar comedic
programming"...

Izzy Mandelbaum...
My Name Is Earl is gold, Jerry. It's Gold!

It's tough keeping your feet dry when you're kicking in a skull.

Well, there's How I Met Your Mother, which I really like. The rest of the
comedy quota seems to be in Boston Legal.
