That sucks. In New York, any credit earned at a school in the SUNY system is transferable to any other school in the system. I know private schools can have different requirements, but that's some bullshit.

Of course. To me ABC means the American Broadcasting Company, whereas to Estreeter it would mean the Australian Broadcasting Company.

Did you know that classical actor the late Denholm Elliott(once played Marcus Brody in the Indiana Jones films) was first considered for the role of Arthur Daley in MINDER but in the end it went to the late George Cole? I think however that he turned up in a few episodes later.

Did you know that three stars of Happy Days reprised their roles for a Hanna-Barbera cartoon series called Fonz and the Happy Days Gang. Henry Winkler(The Fonz-aka Arthur Fonzerelli), Donnie Most(Ralph Malph) and Ron Howard(Richie Cunningham) help a stranded alien girl from the future(like you do) repair her spaceship but then manages to zap it and them into a time vortex, sending them hurtling through time and space, landing in all sorts of different historical periods. Cupcake(Didi Conn) tries to get them back to 1957 Millwaukee but inevitably makes things worse. Accompanying The Fonz is his annoyingly stupid and clutz of a dog, Mr Cool who also has an eye for the ladies like his master.

Henry Winkler then went on to be co-producer of the MacGyver adventure series and has also written a series of children's books called HANK ZIPZER, loosley based on his underachieving at reading due to dyslexia. Ron Howard became a successful film director(another stalwart Anson Williams as Potsie also became a successful director of tv and film) Donny Most acted along with Erin Moran(Joanie Cunningham) Tom Bosley(Howard Cunningham) was the sheriff in many episodes of 'Murder She Wrote' and then the Father Dowling Mysteries series.

Something I'd like to know is what the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow actually is.
