I think I'm going to stop reading this group until the series has finished here in Philly. Isn't it the convention to mark articles like this one "SPOILER"? -- Dave Iannucci St. Joseph's University, Philaldelphia ...{allegra|astrovax|bpa|burdvax}!sjuvax!iannucci "A witty saying proves nothing.

While spoiler warnings are a good idea for "recent" material, I find it difficult to promote the concept of labeling items as spoilers when they refer to 10-15 year old TV shows! --Lauren--

Speaking of ended, my understanding is that the series will in fact end this week (3/18). When this has occurred, if no one else is watching it somewhere else, we can discuss it in full. Just in case, I'm still going to label my spoiler articles as such. -- Dave Iannucci St. Joseph's University, Philadelphia ...{allegra|astrovax|bpa|burdvax}!sjuvax!iannucci "A witty saying proves nothing.

In the SF Bay area, episode #3 just aired! They have apparently been reformatted to use during fundraising for PBS stations, so it will probably be shown for most of the next year at various places around the USA. FROM: Brian G.
