wrote: Heya folks in the SF bay area, KQED is showing the old Julia Child series, The French Chef. Julia is looking mighty good! Christine KERA in Dallas ran them today, too. I saw bits of a couple of shows. Lordy, how I miss her. She's so charming on the set. She forgot a pan was hot from the oven in one episode and hollered OUCH! when she grabbed it bare-handed. She was so relaxed and so confident in her message that it mattered not a bit. -- modom "My baby's got no clothes 'Cause she's makin' chicken soup." -- Chuck E. Weiss |

The ones they were showing today, were the old black and white French Chef episodes. I swear, they were the Best!!!! Christine Oh, come on!..they were the first. I remember one of her "Baking with Julia" episodes where she ogled the young, very handsome, cook. I mean this 80 year old women (or how ever old she was) was obviously "all over this guy" at least with her eyes, and it didn't help that he wore an open shirt and tight pants. And was worth being ogled. She's one of those media types one almost wishes one could know. I actually got a tear in my eye when Rosanne announced Dan's death on her show. That very last episode was easily the best of the best. Sienfield was just perverse and as hypnotic as a super nova. With "Frizzier" i only miss Niles. Remember his rendition of "A Modern Major General" on SNL? Now im getting reruns of "South Park" and i already miss Kenny, though i like Butters. I woke up this morning in the Bay Area and turned on Julia, a blast from the past, but she did so much better later that i turned her off and put on some music while i cooked the omelettes she was demonstrating. I have read her bio and as entertaining as it is she must have obviously left out the tragedy of being Julia. She admits certain crisis of consciousness, but trusting to her self she seems to have made mostly good choices in her life. A life to be admired in many ways, lest of all, her public persona. I miss Johnny Carson, probly always will. And i have not even mentioned the Simpsons. Or how i don't watch t.v. anymore. Finally upgraded to a DVD player and am catching up on movies i wanted to see but did not want to go to a theatre to see them. For the cognoscenti i just got a copy of "The Song of the Loon" and my am i disappointed! When i first saw it, it was enthralling, now it is embarrassing and i cant imagine what i saw in it, at least beyond the obvious, but even then! .... --- JL |

There is a new book coming out this year that she was writing when she died. It's her memoirs of her years in Paris, when she was going to school, etc, I believe. Christine |

There used to be a wonderful series on PBS called I'll Fly Away. I recently saw I can get it on DVD, but haven't done so, yet. So much TV is just crap anymore. I actually enjoy Sesame Street more than 95% of the shows made for adults (as pathetic as that is!) -L. |

Please protect me from that vile and horrid creature! p.s. "Sex and the City" was disapointing. I would have to agree. I never saw the merit in that show.
