	A slight correction on Frank Passage's log of Zero hour: the 5-part
shows were daily half-hours, not 15-minute shows.  With all the commercials
and series format they may seem like they're shorter when condensed, but I
remember taping them from WRVR in NYC when it was first aired.  They managed
to screw up about one episode a week, so I lost interest in taping them.
That darned newfangled stereo!  Sometimes they'd lose a channel, one time 
they somehow had the channels a few seconds out of sync.
	The first show was based on the same book that was made into the 
great film "The Big Clock" with Ray Milland and Charles Laughton.  Another
great show was "The Princess Stakes Murder", which was basically a chance
for Howard Duff to play a private eye very much like Sam Spade.  Walter
Tetley played a jockey in that one.
	I don't think the 30" shows were ever on here in NYC.  -Max

Re: Michael Carraher's letter vilifying "rdruian": Wow! Did you get up 
on the wrong side of the bed or what? Lighten up! Lines like you're 
"used to sucking at the goverment's teat" are uncalled for and certainly 
unnecessary. Odds are you don't know anything about this guy.
If you disagree with the man, Okay, but we're friendly folk around here 
and venom is neither desired nor called for!

Hi [removed]

   I'm sure I'm not the first one to find this flaw in the last digest,
but just in case, here [removed] Frank Mallory mentioned that the BLACK
MUSEUM was a BBC show.  Sorry, [removed] it was made right here in the good
old US of A.  It was on Mutual and hosted by Orson Welles.  Now, the
stories were taken from the crime files of Scotland Yard, and maybe some
of the actors were British, but it was not a BBC production.

I suppose it's too much to ask, but I hope no one bothers to respond to the
recent diatribe on NPR, "government teats", etc. from Michael Carraher
<carraher@[removed]>. It'll just get nasty and defensive and who needs
it?

Might there be two shows of this title?  The one 1/2-hour episode I have --
titled "Atrophe" (about a man whose muscles sieze up from sitting too long
watching TV) -- sounds like a British production, ca. early 1960s.
