NBC:
----
Alicia <mowlaial@ucunix.san.uc.edu> forwarded a blurb from NBC Xtra
<xtra@nbcxtra.com> about a new replacement show called "3rd Rock From The Sun,"
which they say is: "featuring the hilarious travails of four aliens who have
come to earth to observe human behavior." (Mike fumes: Isn't that interesting,
this should be much better than a show about humans traveling to Earth2
observing aliens)
Nicole <nneilan@unlinfo.unl.edu> notes that there was a section praising NBC
Emmy-nominated programs and Earth2 was conspicuously absent. She wrote a polite
note to letters@nbcxtra.com pointing out the pettiness of this act and asks
others on the list to do the same
Michelle <mick@atlas.earthlink.net> reports, "KNBC has said that they were
planning on airing reruns of EARTH2 starting in August. Tonight was the last
episode of Lost Civilizations. NOW is a good time to *remind* KNBC that we want
our reruns."
NBC ONLINE:
Kathleen <MKO%GIZMO@rcc.rti.org> reports NBC has a new web site at

can do this. They have about 40 of their stations listed. It's at

<wieser@ix.netcom.com> found that NBC has a "chat" area where viewers can leave
comments, suggests E2EA members "spam" the board

color background with white lettering. Extra colors cost more. About 25 cents a
color. She asks what does everyone want? Notes that someone is already working
on the 'Danziger- Devon 96', so she'd like to do something different, like 'Eden
Advance', 'Let the Journey Continue'.
Ethelyn <mestiza@u.washington.edu> noted there are three bumpersticker designs
on Enerjy's page as follows: "Earth2 fans do it in Gear" "Adair & Danziger
'96/Eden Advance" and an "earth2" logo.

has been nominated for a second emmy for best sound editing for First Contact
(Pilot Episode).

(818.753.4143) is an independent CD label that only releases soundtracks. They
buy the right to soundtracks that other studios won't release because they don't
believe they will sell very well, members can try to spark interest in an Earth2
soundtrack.

Barbara <Barbara407@aol.com> went to the San Diego Comic Convention and noted
that MCA had a booth promoting sci-fi materials and had two E2 posters displayed
along with the books. Barbara left 300 E2EA flyers on the freebie table which
were gone by Sunday, MCA took the flyers and made more at their expense and kept
them on their giveaway table. (Mike: There's still a bunch of fan interest out
there guys!) Gina <GinaT1000@aol.com> adds that the E2 buttons were all gone by
the first day, the seaQuest buttons were still there by the last.
Gina <stara@primenet.com> reports that a representative from Galifrey 96 stated

Jack <jack.wallace@gtri.gatech.edu> posted the following from the August 8 issue
of Soap Opera Update (SOU), in the Inside Info section, there was a piece on
Antonio
Sabato which said:
"Although unconfirmed as we went to press, SOU has learned that Antonio
Sabato Jr. (ex-Jagger, GH) has signed for at least six episodes of Melrose
Place, beginning with the season opener. Does this mean that the rumors
circulating that Sabato's NBC series Earth2 will return next season are
untrue? Not necessarily, say our sources. If Earth2 does return, it will
be as a mid-season replacement and would not affect Sabato's MP appearances."
Tim <timh@cc.wwu.edu> has sound file of CB saying, "And now, back to Earth 2.".

"We'd be living on the horizon once again. This winter camp would be home only

hoped to help us to make an impossible journey possible."
