Hey all!

Does anyone have an update as to what episode abc1 is up to at the moment? I THINK that they got up to Atomic Shakespeare last Sunday for the weekend epi's, so I'm hoping they've got It's a wonderful job this Saturday...

Thanks

Yup, on Sunday it was Atomic Shakespeare.

I don't know where they are on the weekday ones though because I'm not home in time to watch those.

So this weekend we have It's a Wonderful Job and The Straight Poop :)

Yes, it should be Its a wonderful job on Saturday. My favourite episode :)

But I need to persuade my non Moonlighting fan friend (weird :crazy: ) who will be visiting for the weekend that she wants to stay in and and watch it with me since I still can't video :(

Thanks Tamm and Sweetcakes! I really wanted to type 'thanks Papabear and Sweetcakes', it was difficult to concentrate!! :crazy:

I'm hoping to video both epi's this weekend as I haven't seen them for years...

Not going anywhere on Sunday though! :D

Much as I love David Addison, being female I wouldn't answer to Papabear ;) but if i could be as beautiful as Maddie/Cybill I'd be Sweetcakes

I would hope you wouldn't answer to Papabear either, Tamm! I guess it shows how often I've watched some episodes doesn't it!

Thanks for the update Gem! :wave:

Okay, what happened there?

Today was 'Poltergeist III -- DiPesto Nothing' (which, by the way, was quite a good 'Agnes' ep) . . . why didn't they show The Straight Poop? Or was that on yesterday and I just miscalulatated by one day?

MulberryGal

It seems The Straight Poop was on yesterday and I've missed Its a wonderful job again!

I did enjoy the straight poop yesterday tho, esp the ending!

I loved The Straight Poop.
The inside jokes make me smile.

Plus the kiss at the end was an added bonus. It's one of my favorite kisses in Moonlighting.

MulberryGal

I hadn't seen the kiss before yesterday Kis! Wonderful kiss.. Now if only I could find a man who would kiss me like that! Phew!

The Straight Poop was yesterday - I loved it, some great clips and the ending was great. I found Poltergeist III a bit boring today though. Not enough David and Maddy.

Sad you didn't see The Straight Poop... :(

I thought it was a Wonderful job yesterday too. So even though its my favourite episode so far I could cpe with missing it cause I've seen it. But I've never seen the Straight Poop. Does anyone know why abc 1 seem to miss out some episodes on the weekend run? They also didn't show the Son Also Rises.
:confused:

SweetCakes

I didn't know that about the signatures! Hey, you learn something new every day!

And I don't know why ABC1 miss some episodes out. I assumed they missed It's A Wonderful Job out because of the extra airings of it that they did over Christmas, but if they missed The Son Also Rises then I do not know!

gypsygem81
02-01-2005, 05:13 PM
Isn't The Son Also Rises due tomorrow? As it was Camille today? I assumed they would be starting with Season 3 tomorrow.

Yeah they did. I'm in work in the day too so I set my video. It was great. They seem to be going in order. I'm not sure about the weekend ones though.

I am probably going to miss this weekend too as I will be away (in a 4 channel house :eek: ) and my video doesn't talk to digital. Sorry I keep on moaning about this but it makes me mad :mad: and sad :(

SweetCakes
02-03-2005, 05:26 PM
I know how you feel Tamm, I've missed so many episodes through being out. And my video recorder just won't co-operate with my digital channels :(

Tamm

Fingers crossed that they release the DVDs in the UK

Does anyone know if abc have the rights to all 5 series'?

02-05-2005, 02:20 PM
Yup, all of the episodes (besides the Pilot, which is too long for the Moonlighting time slot) have been shown on ABC1.

gypsygem81
02-05-2005, 03:13 PM
Great. Just checking - didn't want to be left on a cliffhanger. Speaking of which, did you see today's episode?! (blonde on blonde). What a corker! I was almost in tears at the end! Can't wait for Sam and Dave tomorrow!

Love Gem

Also, I was just checking out the episode guide and thinking about the way that abc are showing episodes running through the week and through the weekends simultaneously, and this is what I figured out:

Today's episode was All creatures great and not so great.
Tomorrow's (Wed) episode will be Big Man on Mulberry Street
Then Thursday's will be Atomic Shakespeare and Friday's will be It's a Wondeful Life.

Then the weekend should be showing Maddie's Turn to Cry and I'm Curious (will definately have to avoid making any weekend plans then!)

Next week, should therefore be The Straight Poop (Mon), Poltergeist III (Tues), Blonde on Blonde (Wed), Sam and Dave (Thurs), and Maddie's Turn to Cry (Fri).

Now, they're totally overlapping. Do you think abc are still going to show them in that order? This is really going to confuse my videotape organization.

Love Gem

(yes, I realise I'm replying to my own post. Yes I realise how sad that is)

Thanks for the update Gem, it makes my planning a lot easier!!

I also thought I'd interrupt your conversation with yourself so you look less sad!! ;)

Must video Friday's ep...Must video Friday's ep...Must video Friday's ep...Must video Friday's ep...Must video Friday's ep...Must video Friday's ep...

Now if only I could think of a legitimate reason to be at home on Monday so I can finally watch the Straight Poop ;)

gypsygem81
02-10-2005, 01:30 PM
hey Mul, gald it helped you, cause it confused the hell out of me when I was figuring it all out! I just thought that it was bizarre that in a few cases they would be having the same episode twice in the same week.

p.s. don't forget to tape Friday's ep.

Ooh, I have to see The Straight Poop on Monday!

And I really need to see To Heiress Human a week Saturday. I've been waiting since the marathon on January 1st to see that ep!

Me too, though I have been waiting an awful lot longer, since whenever in the late 1980s it was shown in the UK. I only saw a few episodes first time rounds cause mostly I was a good girl and studying hard in the evenings :p

02-11-2005, 12:15 PM
OMG, what's going on?! They missed out It's a Wonderful Job today and skipped to The Straight Poop! I haven't seen IAWJ and was really looking forward to it! I hope they're still going to show it!

HOW RUDE!!!!!!!!!

Rude and confusing. Why do they keep missing the good episodes :confused:

gypsygem81
02-12-2005, 09:05 AM
I don't know! I hope it's just a mix up and they show it on Monday or something.

Sweetcakes, did you get to see the Straight Poop on Friday afterwards?

Love Gem

SweetCakes
02-12-2005, 02:35 PM
Nooo, I missed it again because I was in school :(

It's half term this week so I thought I'd get to see it on Monday.
Guess I was wrong there :rolleyes:

gypsygem81
02-13-2005, 06:20 AM
How annoying! Well if I am ever able to record from video to video I would be happy to send you a copy.

Hope you're enjoying your half term anyway.

This must be the second time they missed out It's a Wonderful Job..I really don't understand what is going on... :mad:

Much as I like The Straight Poop, this IAWJ is the only epi I've not seen in the whole caboodle...

Sam & Dave is on today, isn't it?

Typical, the day that I'm home this week they're showing an episode I've seen twice and like least out of the trilogy. :rolleyes:

gypsygem81
02-15-2005, 04:44 PM
It was Blonde on Blonde today. Should be Sam and Dave tomorrow. How annoying that on the week we are off they are showing episodes that have already been on recently.

I wonder if there is a reason that ABC aren't showing It's a Wonderful Life? Is there anything in it that might be unsuitable for daytime tv? I can't imagine that there would be.

Love Gem

Tamm
02-15-2005, 05:10 PM
Can't be that cause they did show it on a Sunday afternoon just before Christmas :confused:

and what about the Son Also Rises :confused:

gypsygem81
02-15-2005, 05:15 PM
They've lost it?! Someone at abc is reading these posts and trying to piss us off?

They showed the Son Also Rises. Why?

love Gem

Tamm
02-15-2005, 05:47 PM
on the weekend run they missed the Son Also Rises and showed Blonde on Blonde instead (2 days in a row :confused: as it should have been on 2 Jan)
:confused: :confused: :confused:

gypsygem81
02-16-2005, 04:27 AM
Oh right, I didn't realise that. And if I've worked it out correctly, doesn't this mean that Heiress will be on both on Friday and Saturday!?

Ok, abc are really getting on my nerves now. Does anyone know how long they're going to be running for? Cause I've noticed that abc have started to show adverts for a couple of new shows, I assume something's going to have to be ditched when they start up.

I hope they complete the weekend run and it would make sense to go to the end with the weekday ones too.

Realised there are two episodes I keep on missing (mostly due to abc1 being mad), Blonde on Blonde and It's a wonderful job... :mad:

How many months do you think it'll be before they release season 3 on DVD in the UK? :confused:

No I have only watched about 1/2 to 2/3 of the episodes.

And I am confused :confused: by abc1 yet again. Tuned in today expecting To Heiress Human and got Come Back Little Shiksa. What is going on?

:mad: :mad: :mad:

gypsygem81
02-19-2005, 02:01 PM
Me too!! That was really annoying, especially as I haven' seen any of these before and they're all out of synch and I don't know what's going on. Hopefully they should be showing Heiress on Monday anyway, as they they ended the weekly episodes with I'm Curious on Friday.

Has anyone ever tried contacting abc to ask why they keep changing the order round and missing episodes out. They probably have some sort of contact page on their site. Maybe they need to know that there are people out there who notice these things!

Love Gem

Tamm
02-19-2005, 03:36 PM
Good idea - do you know how to find out contact details for abc1? I haven't found a website yet

gypsygem81
02-19-2005, 07:01 PM
hmmm, well this seems to be a lot more difficult that I first thought. Only apparently related official site I can find is http://abc.go.com/index.html, but I can't seem to find abc1 listed on there.

I'll carry on looking and let you know if I come up with anything.

02-21-2005, 12:56 PM
OMG, someone tell me, what episode did abc1 show today? I missed it because for some reason it didn't record properly. If it was Heiress to Human I'm just gonna die cause I was waiting for that one.
