Committee Reports

(WDS) Moo Comm - Minority report here: I saw Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and did not like it very much when I was watching it and liked it even less afterwards when I thought about it.

(PJN) Moo Comm - STrek V opens tonight. In a related note, Batman opens June 23rd. Ghostbusters II opens sometime this week.

(WDS) Sit Comm - Apparently there's going to be a spin-off series from Alien Nation. CBS has ordered it, whether for their fall lineup or as a replacement, I don't know.

BING!

Old Business

Cousin Larry walks in.

Old Business Algol: um, us, uv, ur, BING!

BING!

New Business

(WDS) Weekly World News Report - A couple of weeks ago, I noticed on the front page what I hesitate to call the ultimate Weekly World News headline, because I know they'll find a way to top it: World's First Interview With Satan.

Time warp back to Committee Reports.

BING!

Committee Reports

(WDS) Sit Comm - For those who care, CBS has ordered 12 new episodes of Beauty and the Beast, for purposes of plugging it in when one of their new fall shows crashes and burns.
