Well, better late than never. I have finally managed to get the timeline
together. Unfortunately, I was not able to compress it enough so that
it would be less than 66 lines deep-- I settled for 100 lines. The
timeline thus comes in 15 parts, all 100 lines long. Except for the
last part, which is but half the length of the rest, lines in each
part are approximately 130 characters. This, of course, means that
the timeline is quite large-- but it really couldn't be helped.
There were 22 years or so to cover-- making it much smaller would
have resulted in a rather crowded, jumbled affair (though I fear it
is somewhat that way already).
The pieces of the timeline should be joined end to end (rather than top
to bottom). Since every part except the last is 130 characters wide,
you will probably have to use the cut command to chop each piece in half
if you wish to look at them on a terminal.
I have tried to make sure the timeline is accurate in every respect,
but I am sure there are errors-- I would appreciate it if someone
would take the time to point out any corrections that need to be
made. I would also welcome more information that might be put into
a re-issue of the timeline in the future if demand warrants it. I am
particularly interested in details about the show (new themes, credits,
things involving people connected with the show, etc.) I am open to
any suggestions you may have for improving the timeline.
To repeat my earlier message, if by some mischance your site does not
get all of parts 1-15, please do not clutter up the net asking for a
repost-- send me mail instead, and I will arrrange for you to receive
a copy of the missing part(s).
Well, that's about it. Hope you like it, and don't hesitate to contact
me with any comments or suggestions you may have.
