Both were excellent and I recommend them -- but a lightning storm is upon me, so I'm transmitting this *now*. /** ************************************************************************ * UPCOMING * Series, Seasons, Episodes, Movies, Books * *********************************************************************** */ HEADS UP... This Thursday MOVIEPlex airs "V" (1983) and next week the sequel, "V:The Final Battle". That horrible animated series on... with the title I can never recall, but it's not "Brigham Circle"... on one of the networks... the one with the "Babylon 5 CCG" joke... is back. Soon. Probably next week. It seems SFC's new series "Invisible Man" is also airing on WGTW-18 -- handy for those of us without that tier of cable service. WGTW carries BKN (with RSTC) -- which also appears on SFC -- so now the favor is being returned? Both WPSG-57-UPN and WFMZ-69 (Allentown) seem to be cutting back on their weekly strippings of "Trek" (Voyager and TNG, respectively). WHYY-12-PBS is airing episodes of some SF series called "Cold Lazarus" which involves a man unfrozen in 2368. In primetime! They haven't done that since they scheduled individual episodes of "Doctor Who" at 19:30 (Monday through Thursday) way back in the '80s. It's probably British.
