I've said it before, and I'll say it again: You're wasted in here Grim,
you
really are.

Not exactly hard though is it? (Well not too hard for me at least. I
realise the difficulty posed should somebody other than me attempt it, but
that's another issue altogether.)

Which was a long weekend for me (bank holiday Monday in Ireland) :-)
But, yes, I'm knackered.

Well, since my post I checked and it looks like it isn't on Paramount at
the
moment so I assume it is on your screen via DVD, Video, VCR or somesuch?

Bluffing, moi? Surely you jest? I missed one episode (the first one) the
first time it aired in the UK. I watched every other episode the first
time
it aired in the UK and caught the one I'd missed (the pilot) the second
time
it was shown in the UK. (OK, OK, the "every other episode" isn't 100%
accurate as I did have my mother record the odd episode when I was either
working away or on holiday. However, I would watch the missed episodes in
sequence prior to viewing the next episode when it aired in the UK).
Not quite in the same category as your "avidly", but hardly a tardy record
either.

You're dead and they have Usenet in the afterlife? Wow, they really do
think of everything. :-)
