What, no mail in my box? says the mailman. Must be time to post something
to get things rolling again.....

#7 LOVE AND THE JUNIOR GAZETTE
#8 A QUARTER TO MIDNIGHT

#10 BREAKFAST AT CZARS

Kevin's Ten Worst Stories
#1 PICKING UP THE PIECES
    Completely unbelievable pairing of Frazz & Suzy Norton
#2 CHANCE IS A FINE THING
    Didn't like the Clark subplot; Colin a little much to take
#3 SHE'S GOT IT TAPED
    Nice, but not very memorable or interesting
#4 DAY DREAMS
    Great idea wasted by a case of the stupids.
#5 HEAD AND HEART
    Colin at his most annoying, Spike & Frazz unsympathetic
#6 ONE EASY LESSON
    Mr. Knowles does not improve with viewing
#7 WINDFALL
    Funny, but oh so bloody stupid.
#8 YESTERDAY'S NEWS
    Great Spike & Lynda vehicle, but I don't buy the L.V. Gillespie bit
#9 MONEY, LOVE, AND BIRDSEED
    Tell me you go about your business with a room full of pigeons??
#10 FOOD, LOVE, AND INSECURITY
    No good reason, I just hate it. Must be Phillippa chasing Spike.

If any of you like any of those episodes, or hate any of the ones I
liked, that's life as a critic for you. I'll defend my picks, and maybe
you'll even argue me into changing my mind. It's happened before. I'm
forgetting at the moment, but I think Natacha and I argued over DAY
DREAMS before in these pages, but I still don't like it and she still
does.
