The note from Jackie <Burhans%ECLD@ECLA> on V in V10#75 reminded me of
something that happened when V series was first being shown. Someone had
volunteered to summarize the episodes for us. However, I haven't seen any
summaries in a long time. Not having a television and therefore being unable
to check for myself, I'd like to know:
Is it really that bad or did the person doing the summaries find other things to
do with his time?

From: goun%cadlac.DEC@decwrl.ARPA (Roger H. Goun) I'm the person who volunteered to do the summaries. This was clearly a mistake on my part. > Is it really that bad or did the person doing the summaries find > other things to do with his time? Yes, it's really that bad! I managed to watch the whole first episode and report on it, but halfway through the second I decided that the risk of mind rot was just too great. "V" does for science fiction what "The Dukes of Hazzard" does for rural sociology.
