Does anyone know which programs are in stereo this fall? I've
heard that 9 shows are produced in stereo. Unfortunately my
source does not list the shows. My guess is that they are:
- The Cosby Show (NBC)
- Family Ties (NBC)
- Cheers (NBC)
- Miami Vice (NBC)
- Tonight Show (NBC)
- David Letterman (NBC)
- Friday Night Videos (NBC)
- Saturday Night Live (NBC)
- Insiders (ABC)
Does anyone have other information?

I believe THE TWILIGHT ZONE was, too, but I'm not sure. Incidentally, I think all three of these shows were a welcome addition to network tv, and I will watch them every week. The first episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE was really very good, with excellent acting by David Addison of MOONLIGHTING in the first segment and a kooky performance by Melinda Dillon in the second, good direction by Wes Craven in both segments. I liked AMAZING STORIES' first episode, but I thought it stuck too close to the Spielberg formula (about five minutes of the 24 minute episode were spent on another drawn-out goodbye scene). Roberts Blossom and Lukas Haas were great. I look forward to many outstanding things from this show--later episodes will be directed by Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese, and Brian DePalma. Looks like competition from cable is finally beginning to make the networks (with the obvious exception of ABC) improve their product.

Quite a number of NBC shows are "in stereo". But don't let this fool you. In most of these shows, only the opening, closing, and segue music are stereo. The actual sitcom, or what have you, is mono all the way. It will probably take some time and experimentation before the networks really know how to use stereo sound to inhance a program. As for tonight and Late Night, they are truly stereo -- even though the segue music is the only effective use of stereo. Audience laughter and applause in stereo just isn't that exciting.

Miami Vice for the most part is in full stereo. i.e. Footsteps only in the left channel, the sound of a automobile engine traveling from left to right channel, all of the music, etc. Most of the dialog is centered. -- ..ihnp4!ihlpm!terry2 ************************** "All this is * Terry Nelson * because of me Keep * AT&T Bell Laboratories * and not my It * Naperville, Illinois * employer!"
